Andreas Granqvist

Swedish defender Andreas Granqvist has revealed his proposed move to Celtic could still go ahead.

Granqvist has been linked with a switch to the Bhoys following manager Neil Lennon's admission his back line is in need of strengthening.

The 25-year-old is set to leave Dutch side Groningen after a two-year spell at the club with Parkhead likely to be his next destination.

Lennon has already been linked with St Etienne stopper Yohan Benalouane but Granqvist insists he still remains a transfer target.

He told the Daily Record: "Celtic are interested but the new coach must see what he has to work with financially."

 

get both of them in

 

Think if we can get him for cheap he'd be a decent buy. Looked decent enough for Wigan a few seasons back.

 

He is a decent player and even at decent is an improvement of Loovens and O'Dea

 

ad rather just stop bringing "decent" in and hope to * he shows up. C'mon get someone solid in... "andreas is gony get yae" disny sound right ha.

 

I would be happy enough if we brought big Bobo back he cant play as bad as o'dea and loovens...

 

what about Andy's guna get ye ?

 

Granqvist and Safari ? Sweedish Connection, big johan having some influence? and with Jos already here. Either way anyone know if he's any good? i remeber us being linked with him about a month ago, and he got lots of positive reviews

 

Hooiveld is Dutch.

 

ramis,gallas for me and that would give us a great cd for first time in years,lets stop messing about and get real quality in as i am not confident in all the ones we have just now.they all have there ifs and buts about them

 

Knew there was something wrong with my post. i didn't include him at first, then i wasn't sure so i thought i'd include him just incase.

 

messing about? Finance is the issue.

 

and gallas don't have any if's and buts about him?, such as his egotiscal wankyness, dummy spitting, ridiculous attitude problem when some doesn't go how he wants it, coming to Scotland would only maginfy those problems as he'd believe he'd be the best thing since sliced bread up here and Lenny don't need that type of atitude up here while in the process of building a new team.

 

Centre back is the heart of any team, get the best two centrebacks we can afford and stop spending cash on loan signings wages.

 

He may have a bad attitude but he is light years ahead of any of our CB's in terms of quality and I for one would love to see someone of that quality in the hoops instead of Mulgrew, Loovens and Hoovield who were absolutely * last night.

 

defo need ch badly

 

thats the problem if we get them cheap buy them.less quantity more quality:bbpd:

 

he's a good cb no doubt but at the end of the day lenny don't need such a disruptive * stirer in his dressing room during a very important season for both celtic and lenny and gallas is just a mental liability, we need players who are good and stable in their mind set due to the importance of our season and we don't need characters like gallas disrupting everything causing all sorts of shyte

Granqvist seems to be a much better LONG TERM option costing pennies compared to gallas and TBF if he came and done well (gallas this is) fans would get used to it and then expect him stay (which we can't * well afford) or they would expect the same qaulity but on a long term contract (which we can't * well afford) and also I'd rather sign Granqvist rather then these short term options and constantly change our CB's by looking for a new pairing every season it would be just stupid and unsettling

 

This may be a goer , was talking to Lennon in the Pub last night after the Q&A in Preston and he said he was in final negotiations yesterday with a Tall Burly Swedish Centre Half just wondering if this is the Guy ..Said that Johan had been key to him possibly signing for us ..hope this is true
