    I'd keep Samaras and Flood. But we do need to sign another striker.

    Why Boruc?
    Why McManus?
    Are you saying Nakamura just because he is likely to leave anyway or do you not rate him?


    Sylvinho is 35. He'd add experience but I don't think he's what we need.

    Mark Brown - Garbage.
    Andreas Hinkel - Crossing is rubbish and defensively suspect.
    Mark Wilson - Too injury prone. Pity.
    JJP Doumbe - Injury problems also.
    Bobo Balde - Big wages for nothing. A waste of resources.
    Paul Hartley - The legs are going.
    Massimo Donati - Hasn't really cut it in Scotland.
    Shunsuke Nakamura - He wants to go and never turns up in Old Firm games.
    Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink - His legs seem to have gone too. Will be sorry to see him go but I think the time is right.
    Chris Killen - Should never have been signed in the first place.

    Clearing all these players out should leave us with plenty of freed up wages to bring in new signings and give us the chance to freshen things up a bit.

    Hinkel has had a good season in my opinion. Nakamura kept out title dream alive last season with a fantastic performance in the 2-1 game at CP. I know Nakamura is already going and I agree with the rest going. Although I wouldn't call M.Brown garbage.

    With Balde and Donati away, that saves us £50k a week! So maybe a quality signing may come in after all?

    remember big jan was out for most of the season and donati was never given a run in the team WGS had players playin out of position a lot too because of his zonal tactics under a different system they might be good players

    you would let him go ? hes one of the better players to come through the ranks as he rips the reserve league apart, also when has he been given the chance to play consistently ?

    agree with the rest though

    Balde is definitely going because his contract is up in June.

    Hartley I think we should keep around, even as a utility-type squad player. Sure, he isn't\*'s gift to football but he runs himself into the ground for us and will play in any position he's asked to so long as he's given a Celtic jersey.

    Donati - has contributed nothing since he came here. Quite possibly Strachan's worst signing given the amount of money we spent on him (£3.4 million IIRC). If we can con...vince someone like Sampdoria to actually pay money for him then cut our losses and free up a place in the reserves team for a promising young player.

    VoH - He was brilliant in 07/08, shocking in 08/09. Whether we keep him or not depends on which of these two seasons was an aberration.

    Killen - why did we sign him again?

    Mark Brown - now we have Zaluska, "being better in goal than Stephen McManus" is no longer sufficient quality to be Celtic's sub keeper

    Where's the all of the above button?

    Add Skippy too.

    He's a fat, whinging, greedy, 2nd touch is a tackle, heid nearly as big as my *, greeting faced wee fat Aussie git.

    Nowhere near good as he thinks he is.

    Don't even get me started on Samaras!!
