Celts To Land Sylvinho

Reading the papers this morning saying it's a done deal. What do you think about him ?

Celts To Land Sylvinho

 

i was just about to write the same story there ,back page of NOTW

 

Finally we are getting a LB he would bring that much needed experience in that postion, i would imagine barca will be letting him go on a free transfer.

 

Yeh hopefully we make it through in uefa and we are able to use him.

 

Experienced player, good player. Im sure he played against us when he was at Celta Vigo.
He's played at Arsenal & Barcelona so he knows whats expected of being at a big club. He must be 33 or 34 now, but he still has a lot to give.

I reckon it will be an 18 month deal, and we have to look at young left-backs to come in and learn during that period, so someone can step in when he goes.

 

Can't see why anyone would think this is a bad move will get 2 years or so out of him, played at the highest level all his career also looks after himself great addition to an inexperieced squad.

 

yes a good addition to see us through this season and possibly next

 

Good addition, hopefully plays well with us.

 

Even at 34, would still be a good signing, far better than what we have.

Good move.

 

Think this is the guy WGS was talking about signing in the summer and fell through due to whatever reason. Excellent addition to the squad and competition at last at left-back.

 

Very, very pleased. Yes, his 34 but that's the only downside. He's excellent going forward. Played in England with Arsenal, so has experience of playing in Britain with a great Club. He will bring much needed balance to the side. Takes the pressure off the club in terms of the long term search for a left back. If we get 18months out of him we can either bring through a left back or sign one for the future.

 

will be a good signin

 

Only forced out at Arsenal AND Barca by Van Bronkhurst. He must despise him.

 

experience can't hurt anyone

 

Great move if true, when you look at our defence their is not much expierence.

 

Quite pleased about this tbh, he'll bring something different to the squad

 

great player no matter what his age is

 

waste of * money imo too old, too expensive (wages) and no need for him in the squad, he will only unsettle the players who are already there.

 

third time luck with brazilians for recent times i hope,


the guys possibly the next best lb since baoby carlos from that brazilian generation, id love him to come, i cant see it and i hope im wrong

 

What?

Strachan has already made it clear he wont pay silly wages. If we get him for £30-40k a week for 6 months with a 12 month roll-on then great.

Unsettle the players? Are you mental? A La Liga winner and Champions League winner and you think that's going to unsettle the players? Plus, who's he going to settle? Our one LB? He needs a good shake-up.
