The Squad

Happy or not?

 

Im feeling more positive than I was a couple of weeks back.

We have too much deadwood and we need a left back.

That said, if we can settle into Deila's system and cut out the slack passing that was on show during the second half against Aberdeen then I think we have the makings of a good team.

Really hope Scepovic and Guidetti come up trumps. We are crying out for a striker who can consistently put the ball in the net.

 

The addition of the 2 strikers is a positive but the squad still doesn't have the quality for the Champions League.

 

Happy with the squad . Just hope Ronnie Deila is able to play to their strengths .
A good squad is one thing, merging it into a good winning team is another . I liked the fact that when Deila saw the centre of midfield been over run on Saturday after Brown went off , he brought on an extra midfielder and we regained control.

 

Content.

Wish we had Guidetti on a permanent and another LB and would chuck Derk.

 

im pretty much the same as this i like the current squad, believe it is much better than it has been the last year or 2 but if we had guidetti permanent another good left back and gotten rid of some more crap it would be better

 

If we're being honest it's not the greatest squad in the club's history. I think we all know that.

However, it is a squad which has many components which, as long as we keep it together, will prove to be a very enjoyable one to watch. From youngsters like Denayer and McGregor showing maturity far beyond their years; a goalkeeper who, I would argue, has the potential to become a legend in this era; players like Chris Commons who are exciting to watch (the back-heel yesterday was nothing short of sublime) and Virgil, and, finally, an exciting influx of new players who we will watch develop with eager interest.

It isn't a squad to match the achievements some of it's predecessors have but football is a different game now and for a whole range of various reasons we are unlikely to ever repeat such glories again. But, as I said, it is a squad which has the potential to provide enjoyment and entertainment and that's all we can ask for.

 

Maybe ask in a month or so, it's kind of hard to judge all the new players when some haven't even played a game yet.

 

Happy that theres competition for places in the team, some of our players were needing a kick up the ring

 

Pretty happy but agree with most of the problems listed above. Still to much deadwood in the squad and desperately need another lb. One that no one seems to mention is another big physical Wanyama type player to frustrate midfielders in europe and win headers in the middle without Scott Brown we are really lacking any kind of physicality in midfield and that not been addressed since Wanyama left.

 

Pretty decent squad now. Way better than the rest of the SPL, should be able to compete in Europa League.
Jury is still very much out on the manager though.

 

true but we have players of that ability in the squad i wouldnt mind ambrose getting a chance at defensive mid to see what he can do you never know maybe it will be a new lease of life for him

 

Ambrose is * at centre half and even worse at right back.
Hope you are joking about playing him in midfield.
Sooner he is out of the starting line up the better.

 

Not really.

We have quantity but little quality.

We only have about 3 or 4 really good players, and a whole heap of utter *. Our best player will almost certainly leave in January or next summer, all our loanees will go back to their parent clubs, and we'll be back to square one.

 

You never know maybe he will be a brilliant midfielder! i agree he is pish at centre half and RB so if ronny is adamant on playing him wouldnt you prefer there to be somebody behind him to pick up the pieces?

 

This

 

I just love your positive take on Celtic. You really must love the club and watch them play .

 

It is possible to love the club without fawning all over any and everything they do.

 

Should have added a poll. I'm happy we have finally got a couple of new forwards but as some say the manager may be questionable with his tactics at times. Still in the happy camp tho.
