    who should celtic try and sign in the summer? obviously caldwell and miller are coming in but who else should gs be after? i reckon andy webster would be a good signing especially since hes wanting to leave hearts. but i dont know if wilson......caldwell.......webster.........? is good enough for european football. i really like these guys but celtic are a big team who need to do decent in europe and i dont know if these guys up to the task.

    i reckon a couple of defenders are essential. telfer, virgo, camara and wallace are gash. mulgrew should get a chance as hes playing ace for the dirty * minky tangerine *. a reliable centre back is needed. a good natural left back is also needed. with big bad john going a big striker should be signed, i dont know how well miller will do. does well playing lone striker and for struggling teams. does he fit into celtics style of play? garry o'connor is a quality player but should celtic be aiming higher than all these players from the spl?

    Mulgrew could be good, still young and learning, is he playing at left back or where?

    Wilson is a quality player and will only get better now that he's in a good team.

    Its too early to know what players can be targeted in the summer

    Mulgrew can play either LB or LM.....he's pretty comfortable in both positions! We definately need a decent/proven LB as Strachan cant keep playing Wallace in that position cos he's mince there!

    Wilson could find himself there for the rest of the season. He played well there against Rangers. That should only be a short term fix.

    Mulgrew next season could be in there, Management is suppose to be impressed with him. Camara should be transferred next season

    Ashley Cole would be alright for left back, Maybe Gary Neville at right back.

    And john Terry and Rio ferdinand in centre.

    That should shaw up the defence a bit.

    We should get an emergency keeper in during the summer, one that will be happy playing second fiddle to Boruc and let Marshall go on loan to another club for a season so he gets some sharpness and regular games.
    I don't need think i need to point this out, but our defence needs some serious strengthening. No bosmans or loan deals, i mean millions spent on our defence.

    Problem is Celtic have already said there won't be millions to spend ! so we may need to look at "the cheap option"

    duno really who we would sign but i think cesc fabregas is an unbelievable player and if arsenal go to pot anymore and he comes available i would love him to come but dont think its realistic

    + maxi lopez of barca never gets a game and if henry goes there he'll be away ffs he's been linked with west ham and he's real quality think that would be realistic possibly loan though might be out of our budget trying to sign him

    No GUNN, Celtic said if "another Petrov" came along they would stump up the money no problem. But ya, there wont be millions to spend next season.

    And how would we know what "another petrov" is. I mean the petrov deal nearly fell on it's * at the time.

    I think the Celtic Board are VERY VERY good at dangling carrots for celtic fans

    Time will tell, and with mordor about to spend BIG , we need to be on our toes

    Well personally i love 2 sign big names but if i was bein realistic i would sign Diamond of Aberdeen bit dodgy sometime but i hink with experience would turn into a quality defender,O'Conner,Brown and Riorden of Hibs (Thats like half their team) dont really need to explain these players

    No chance getting Fabregas he's Wengers wee wonderkid.

    Maxi Lopez could be realistic though, if he would go to Scotland :|.

    Defence is the big problem though, need a left back & a couple of quality centre backs.

    Good Scouting, we are investing alot this season in it aswell. GS knows a good youngster when he sees him.

    If GS says i want that youngster, he's top class, i think the board will make the funds available
