BYE BYE!

I agree with most of the original post, the only players I don't agree with on the list are Hartley & Naylor.
IMO a midfield of McGeady, Brown, Hartley, Robson & Nakamura for away games in Europe would be pretty hard to beat, I would rather have Hartley or Robson playing ahead of Donati or Sno.
As for Naylor, I'd keep him as a squad player, left side of defence has been a problem area for us, but I'd rather see O'Dea playing there at the mo.
As for the rest, I'd crawl over broken glass to Parkhead to show Caldwell the exit door, Bobo's time is up at CP, Pressley was bought as cover, but if he can't get a game ahead of Caldwell, he should move on.
Wilson is too injury prone, but until Hinkel has a bit more SPL experience, or Doumbe comes back the same player he was, I'd maybe keep him as a squad player as he can fill in at left back as well.
Tommy G and Donati should be moved on, neither has the discipline to play for the Hoops, Riordan has to leave, it's obvious that him & Strachan don't get on.
JVOH I've heard wants a move back to Holland, if that's the case then maybe Samaras would be a good replacement, I know the jury is still out on him, as any game he's started he's been pretty poor, but I still feel he's adjusting to the SPL and he's already got a few goals.
As for the fans that want Strachan out, I personally feel that he is taking the club in the right direction, both on and off the park, and for those that criticise his style of play, they seem to have a short memory, as MON's teams were so one dimensional but few complained about him.
Give Strachan time, the club is moving forward in the right direction, some fans on here seem to think the league's over already, there's still 3 Old Firm games to be played, 2 at CP, so it's still very much in our hands.

 

Aside from the Doumbe bit (cup-winning Jackie Mac-lite), pretty much what I was tryng to say, but more concisely put! :icon_mrgreen:

 

Douglas, Hedman, Sylla, Gray, Guppy, Laursen, Fernandez, Camera, Juninho - flops

Valgaeren, Balde, Pearson - average at best

Thompson, Hartson, Sutton, Lennon - good signings but expensive

Agathe - Brilliant signing

 

And what the * does this have to do with Strachans signings?

 

Well if the Gravesen/carsley is a myth then a certain wee Brazillian fullback who played for Madrid is a liar then.

Doumbe is an outstanding player and we were only starting to see the real deal when he got injured.

Du Wei should never have got 45 mins FFS it was Strachans job to realise he was * before giving him a game not after

So its ok to buy pish as long as we get 3 mill for them? The new money minded fan has spoken

 

Have to be concise these days man..tennis elbow ye see..or housemaid's knee, canna remember which

 

Both managers have made good and bad moves in the transfer market and although so far WGS's team has been more successful there's not much between them.

Just a wee comparison between the 2, don't go mad.:icon_mrgreen:

 

Your opinions proving Strachan is a good manager, judge of player and tactician are so weak that you have to try (unsuccesfully) to bring MON into the equasion
Strachan IS THE CURRENT manager ffs and MONS record proves * all in either a positive or negative vein towards Strachans abilities or rather lack of them.
MON aint the issue or the thread subject.

Im no mad btw

 

Btw! I didnt put the poll on this thread. Polls on these types of message boards or forums are about as accurate as Strachans opinion on Gary Caldwell as a player.
They can be easily menipulated.

 

So you don't rate MON either then as a manager?

 

Go start a thread on MON and i might just post on it

 

OK then. Where when it comes to success has WGS failed you?

 

Not being a glory hunter in awe of silver i put much more emphasis on the way we win games and trophies rather than the winning itself.
I,m old fashioned in my outlook but the enjoyment of winning the last two titles was severly diluted by the quality of opposition we faced and the manner in which we played football for me.

I predicted Strachan would toil badly if the Huns were to put even an organised team out every week never mind a good one. And up to now i see nothing to change my opinion.

Put it this way!
If i was given the choice to relive a certain famous 5-4 win over Partizan Belgrade or the 2nd leg win over Artmedia against the wins over Man Utd and Milan i'd relive the 1st two.

 

Did you make you're prediction last year or the year before? The 1st season's Rangers team also made the last 16 of the CL and WGS slaughtered them. I admit
Le Guen was a poor manager and that season wasn't competitive enough although
you can only beat what's in front of you.
You must have been gutted under all our previous managers appart from Tommy Burns.

 

literally biting my lip chucky, usually a big fan of your opinions and posts mate, but come on!!! jvoh and hartley are important members of the celtic squad!! why would we get rid of them especially big jan! STRACHAN!!!?????????? no way should he be going anywhere so glad PL has given him the unconditional backing strachan has acheived an unbelievanle amount of progress at celtic in only 2 years on a shoestring budget, bringing in absolute COUPS in mcdonald, boruc, brown, naka....their values have multiplied tenfold! brilliant job WGS has my backing al day done twice what mON failed to do in 7 years in the CL those are the facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YouTube - How to wind up a celik fan

 

strachan would toil badly? he lost one of game at ibrox>?! this season thats the only difference between the teams....when we have played each other 3 times, come the end of the season WGS will be paraded the spl trophy arounf parkhead with the likes of boruc , skippy, and naka, some of his fantastic signings.....he has been nothing short of heroic.

 

Slightly over dramatic reply mate

sorry but i still disagree with you

 

Lubo u still never answered my question about celtic credentials. would love to hear your answer mate.

 

I made my prediction from the end of Strachans 1st season. However ive never rated him as a manager/coach or even TV pundit to be honest.
I still mentain he,s carried more luck than Sean Sean the leprachaurn since becoming our manager.
Unfortunately for him though i get the feeling his lucks running out.

Tommy Burns now? Jeeze why?

 

He didn't have much in the way of credentials but he certainly does now. How's that?
