    Tsepo Masiela for Left Back

    There is a better left back out there that Celtic can go for, Wither they would tho, I dont know..

    Dont know if you guys watched the Confederation Cup, I know all they hooter things were annoyn, but the games were ok.. But the South African Left Back Tsepo Masiela, looked a good left back, guy plays for Maccabi Haifa, proberly get him for £2-3Million, he would be perfect for Left Back I think anyway..

    What do you think?

    Silvinho still free? well, they better have another guy ready to come in because that is a huge weakness in our team.

    does anyone think O'Dea could cut it there as a spare option???:97:

    by the way, im not saying hes my choice for there:50:

    I think O'Dea is * full stop, no matter what position. I however don't think Naylor is as bad as people make out, just lack of confidence from everybody getting on his back. I didn't see the game at the weekend, just highlights and it was one * of a cross from Naylor for the goal. I'm guessing lack of nerves and pressure from fans holding their breath like they do at Celtic park had a part to play. I know this is way out there, but in the Tommy Burns testimonial, he looked like a good footballer (not just left back), and again shows what he can do when people aren't on his back. Also, is it a coincidence both his goals came away from home, and I was at both matches?!

    Quite gutted at us missing out on this guy, but hopefully big tony has something up his sleeve.

    On your post mate I know its your opinion, but I feel that O'dea is a player with a tremendous amount of talent, who has never let us down and who if given a run of games, could go onto become a great player for us. On the other hand, I must for one say that although he put in a good cross in a pre season friendly, at other times his crossing is horrendous, when it actually counts, most of the time going out the other end of the park, and his positional sense is pretty dreadful to be honest imo, not having a go at you mate just expressing my opinion of the situation. :50:

    I really think we should go for Lee Wallace of Hearts now.
    He is about the best LB in Scotland just now and can get up and down the flanks all day long. Much better than Naylor too
