[Link] US international Sacha Kljestan

I wannna make that next step , and not be Europes best second teir club (which i think we are now). In the future i can see the youth system getting us there but a 4m splash here and there i dont think would kill us............if spent wisely.

 

Well said mate. agree with everything you said. everytime we have the chance to strenthing and hurt the manky mob we dont....its all because we dont want to spend the cash like this ched evans deal, we're waiting till last possible second to get it done, * me off. the guy from chelsea, we want another look * me off, we should have been so far infront of the huns after seville their fans would be back supporting st mirren,partick thistle and clyde again :bbpd:

 

Sasha should play tonight vs. a young-ish Swedish national side on a young-ish US National team in a friendly

 

Cheers Mate i just think it is always the same with celtic, and we should strengthen from a position of strength not wait till the manky mob catch up.

was it on television and if so how did he play?

 

We're definetly singing from the same hymn sheet yeah, it * me off watching us let them catch up with us instead of kicking them while there down they done it to us before and would do it to us again I say build a team that will win this league and next season build again so they cant catch us:icon_mrgreen:

 

just started. 15 minutes in and Klejstan scores on a beautiful free kick from at least 30 yards out.

 

sacha just scored a crackin free kick agaist sweeden! 17th minute. what a strike!

 

That was a cracker! 30 yards out...I didn't know he could hit 'em like that

 

brace for Klejstan

 

penalty, took it well.

commentators liking him too. also stating it would be great for him to move to europe

 

a week training with the bhoys and he nets a pair. well done big sacha

 

what channel is it on
or what link if ur watchin it online

 

dont worry i got a link

 

Aye...I'm watchin the game too. What a peach that free kick was!!! An absolute belter. He took his penalty well too; very calm. My only fear though is that he looks a bit light-weight. He's 6'1" and weighs 150 lbs. (10 st. 10lbs.). I think he could get bullied a bit in the SPL. Nonetheless, based on tonight's performance he looks like a tidy player and he tries to make a forward pass whenever he can. It would be interesting to see if we got a hold of this lad and saw what he can really do.

 

i missed the goals but hes had a few nice touches this half

 

sacha completes the hat trick!!!! wgs are ya watchin!

 

and now a hat trick. me thinks someone is angling for a move

 

For £2m get him signed up.

Bet big sam at Blackburn will come in with a late bid he always goes for our signing targets.
