    I can't believe N'guemo got a game over him tbh. N'guemo was * dire I thought. Crosas fitted perfectly into the system Mowbray wanted to play but for some reason he never gave him a chance.

    Have a lot of time for the guy and I hope he goes on to be successful, he really is Celtic to the core

    Mowbray made a lot of strange calls.

    As much as Heid was a bombscare he was perfect for the system but never seemed a priority to keep.

    McDonald banged them in for fun, I'd rather have had him than a few months of Keano.

    Crosas Donati were both on the ball our best players.

    Never tried to keep JVOH as far as I can remember?

    Shifted Foxy.

    Yeah Mowbray really did make a real mess of it. Selling our better player and replacing them with *. i.e replacing McDonald with Rasmussen.

    I also though Donati was a good player, I thought Mowbray coming in would have suited him and crosas perfectly, but he got rid of Donati almost as soon as he came in. Was it not more the boards fault that heid left? We wouldn't give him the wage he wanted or somthing?

    Fox was the strangest one, a mowbray signing, played every week and sold out of the blue 6 months later :97:.

    Mogga left us in a shocking state

    Heid wanted I think closer to £20k, think it was about £16-18k? As much as he was frustrating we've not had anybody close to him IMO until Mulgrew went there.

    Donati was our best player early days that season, scores a wonder goal at the Emirates then sold the next day.

    Happy he brought us Rogne and Ki though.

    The £4m for Fortune frustrates me too, he'd have good had he been a quarter of that.

    Marc Crosas signs for Santos Laguna
    By: Newsroom Staff on 13 Jan, 2012 17:25
    FORMER Hoops midfielder, Marc Crosas, has become the first player to play for both Celtic and their sister club, Santos Laguna, after sealing a move to the Mexican side.

    Crosas, who turned 24 last week, made the switch from Russian side Volga, the team he joined last February in the search of regular first-team football.

    Celtic and Santos Lagona, who are one of Mexico´s largest football clubs, have developed strong bonds since forming a partnership last year.

    Crosas recently visited Celtic Park for the 1-0 derby win against Rangers, in December, and has stayed in contact with the club he grew to love.

    Celtic Football Club wish Marc the best of luck for his move to Mexico, and also to Santos Laguna for their new season which began last week.

    Best of luck to him:50:

    The only positive to have come from his reign I would say.

    How much did we get for Fortune from WBA? Don't suppose it would have been anything close to what we paid for him. Was a decent player, just never worth what we paid for him.

    Hooper, Stokes and Sammy probably cost the same amount combined as What we paid for Fortune :56:

    Wish Marc all the best.

    Seems like a good guy, and was certainly a good passer.

    Interesting move for him. I wonder if Celtic had a hand in it?

    Anyway, good luck to him. He wasn't quite good enough to be a Celtic central midfielder but he could certainly make himself a decent career somewhere in the world. One of us, too :50:

    Fortunaly that was an isolated incident.

    Yup, Crosas will find a very ofensive minded team and a league where his strengths will fit better while his weaknesses won't be that exposed.

    Christian Suarez and Darwin Quintero are some good strikers, specially Quintero.
