Celtic Squad 2007/2008

This is the 25 man squad I'd like to see us have with the new signing and the players we're being linked with:

Goalkeepers:
A.Boruc
D.Marshall
M.Brown

Defenders:
M.Wilson
P.Doumbe
L.Naylor
D.O'Dea
S.McManus
J.Kennedy
G.Caldwell
S.Pressley

Midfielders:
S.Brown
E.Sno
S.Nakamura
M.Donati
A.McGeady
D.Riordan
G.Delvecchio
P.Hartley/J.Jarosik/T.Gravesen
T.Bjarnason

Strikers:
J'VoH
MacDonald
Killen
Zurawski/Miller
Rigters

Which means the players to offload are two out of three from Jarosik/Gravesen/Hartley; Miller or Zurawsli; Beattie; and Balde. That would make me happy if our squad for next season takes that type of shape.

 

I would try to sell Miller, Jarosik, Balde? and maby beattie.

Boruc

Wilson---Mcmanus---Kennedy---Naylor

Naka---Borwn--Donati*---Mcgeady

Jvoh---Mcdonald

look how rich that midfield is Naka 10M Brown 4.5M Donati 3M Mcgeady 7M = Around 24.5 Million which is good enough for the cl ​

 

being realistic to maintain champions league form we still need good cover for naylor,doumbe signed,maybe another qaulity defender and above all a regular partner for JVOH.I see we bought donati today,he looks excititing!!i still think WGS has one more big name under his sleeve,maybe 2,i think he is close to deal for delvecchio and he knows we need a quality striker! id say, probably between rigters,frei,bellamy or rossi!! if that happnes then, we will walk the spl,and break into the last 8 of the CL
My starting 11
GK-Boruc
RB-Doumbe
CB-Mc Manus
CB-Balde/Kennedy
LB Naylor
RM-Naka
CM- Brown
CM- Gravesen/Delvecchio
LM-Donati
CF- JVOH
CF-Rigters/Bellamy/Frei/Mc Donald

 

Don't quite agree with your valuation of McGeady mate, think that's a bit exagerated. However, that is the team I'd go with when everyones fit.

 

We'll were pretty * cos 4 of your starting 11 don't even play for us yet

 

Teams would pay big money for a player like look at ronaldo he the same king of player, plays good against big teams but dissapears in the big games.

 

Players like Ronaldo yes. Too bad there is a massive gap in ability between Ronaldo and Mcgeady.

 

I'm pretty confident in our squad. it will be much better than last season!

 

that is an extremely strong squad...

the strength in depth now with starchan is awesome... under o;neill if say agathe got injured we only had the calibre of sylla to replace... also likes of tommy jonson if larsson was injured.

 

Yeh we seem to have two decent players for pretty much every position, assuming we get another striker during the transfer window. Things are looking gd!!

 

the only thing im concerend is about is the lack of coverage for left and right back adn all we have atm is naylor and wilson who i both think shoul;d fight for LB posiotion as i dont think wilson a great right back

 

Squad's looking good...lets hope he plays brown over hartey, thats if Donati is as good as i expect him to be

 

i would still try a 4-1-3-2. worked for Real Madrid in CL and Chelsea use it.

GK:Boruc
RB:Wilson
CB:Mcmanus,Kennedy
LB:Naylor
CDMonati
RM:Naka
CAM:Brown
LM:Mcgeady
ST:JVOH, Zurawski/new striker

The three attaking midfielders in this formation are very fluid and can change places a lot during the course of the game.

as cover:-
Goalkeepers:Marshall, Brown
Defence: Doumbe, Caldwell, Pressley, O'Dea
Midfield: Bjarnason,Graveson,Sno, Riordan
Strikers:Macdonald, Killen, Sheridan, Zurawski (if new striker is signed)

Get rid of the others
