Good news that Arteta is leaving. There's no doubt that he's a quality player, but he's just not produced the goods often enough for us and doesn't get stuck in as much as he should.

I'm sure he'll do well for Sociedad and hopefully we'll get a reasonable fee for him.

Todays NOTW says we are leading the chase for Kenny Miller, a huge mistake if true, he simply wasnt good enough first time around and has not improved since he left. he is very quick but has absolutely no first touch! Anyone see the article, how much are the quoting price wise?

I'd like to see McLeish try a front too partnership of Lovenkrands and Prso.

I know I keep going on about it, but Lovenkrands is pish out wide, he's much more effective through the middle.

he scored 5 against St Mirren, but lets be fair, they might have had black a white strips on but could'nt have looked further from Juventus.

Most notably the last Old Firm game, 90th minute or so, long ball goes up to him, Marshall comes for it and doesn't look safe and all big Stevie has to do is get a head to it and it's yer first win at CP for donkees years. But no, he *****s it, turns away and big Sutty is laughin.

I was picking up on your summary, no point was missed, didn't Egil, Crapucho, Emerson etc. not play play for the U21's?

I can't believe that Murray Park has been going for 3 years and the youth set-up is still a shambles.

You can't expect everything to happen that quickly though, it's not too bad considering the amount of players who are breaking through into the first team already and hopefully it will continue and improve.

Yeah, really looked like he won the header as the ball bounced off his head as he tried to get out Marshall's road.

What was wrong with standing up, getting a clean header on it and taking the hit?

Egil did, the rest did not play more than a handful after gaining match fitness IIRC

George Adams was brought in to oversee our youth set up and has been scouting around for young players but all the best players over 15 in this country are under contract at other scottish clubs, so we will not see the true benifit of Murray Park and George Adams for a few years yet, not overly hard to Fathom?

I find it funny that Celtic fans are quick to belittle the quality of the Rangers youth set up and play up thier own, as they have quite rightly the best youth set up of those age groups in scotland atm, but don't seem to grasp that its the best of a bad bunch and i for one will be eager to see how they fair when hearts and our youth set ups get up and running properly.

Bricks and mortar do not make a youth set-up. Without the appropriate raw materials nothing will be produced. In addition the set-up is only of use for youngsters living close by, 11yo, 12yo, 13yo etc. will hardly be moving to the area on the off chance of succeeding. We are all aware that there is a clear demarcation of allegiances in the surrounding areas so this facility whilst obviously a benefit might not be the big difference Gers fans hope.

It is interesting to note that celtic spend more than Rangers on the Scouting networks at present. The link below might be worth a wee read.

Indeed, yet you state that you can't believe Murray Park is still a shambles after 3 years? Adams has only been in place for around one year and is still in the process of structuing our youth set up.

If its in the Herald its probably wrong icon_smile.gif

As you have stated and yet seem to be unable to grasp, bricks and mortar do not make a great youth set up icon_wink.gif its all down to Adams in the end.

atm RFC own the youth players, only player owned by RYD is bajram fetai.

Our reserves won the league

our u19s won the league and it was our 17s playing for them but our u19s play for the u21s,Common knowledge wee man <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

We had the same bunch of 14-15 players that made up BOTH our u-19 and U-21's, add a few of the U-16 players to the U-19 squad and thats why we let the U-19 league slip.

Don't forget that for half the year Celtics U-21 team were made up of guys like Sylla, Laursen, Valgaren, Petta and other players with SPL credentials while rangers were feildign 16-17 year olds.

When our U-21's were beaten 5-1 by Partick the partick team included 6 first team regulars and 3-4 players that appear on the bench regularly, Rangers feilded 1 15 year old and 3 16 year olds.

To summerise, yes the Celtic youth system this year was far stronger, but rangers are in the middle of overhauling the youth system and many players have been let go and we are very short on any age group over 15's. our U-19's ran you close dispite the fact it was missing a few vital players for thier final fixtures for the league run in as they were involved with the first team. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dont you talk Utter pish,

What about Livingston,McGregor and De boer,Vanoli Or Capucho were playing and you got beat 5-1

O'Dea 16 years of age after january played in u19 and u21 matches

O'Caroll 16 years of age yes he done them both too

Michael McGlinchey 17 yrs of age playing regular in the u21

Charlie Grant at the tail end of last season playing for them both

Same as Conroy who is 16 he played for the u19s and u21s

So dont give me we have 16 yr olds and you have grown men when the fact is we havent,Sylla did make a good few apperances ill grant you that,Laursen didnt,Valgaren played in at the most 5 if hes Lucky,Bobby Petta played in the first few but Ross Wallace was a regular in there

We didnt have Marshall,Gardyne(played alot for the u21s)

McGeady & Wallace playing for our u19s to January in some cases all season

So we are able to find 4 or 5 People at 16 and 17 and we still win

You just have to face the facts that Celtic Youth System is far better

that better your u13s refuse to play yours because ours are too good.

Theres your arguement shown up Viddy boy!!

He shat it, took one look at the keeper rushing out and hit the deck.

I would have been raging if Larsson, Sutton or Hartson hadnt battered everything in site to get the ball.....but if they had that chance they would have.
