FrankJJ Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Really good high tempo match at Southampton, lots of tough tackle flying in too, but Celtic look very fit and pacey! Currently 2 up, 70mins. Chris Killen and a Barry Robson penalty after Samaras had a great run ended by being halved in two!! Southampton goalkeeper Davis has been unbelievably good.

Stan petrov Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Have we had a bid accepted for Tamas or what ffs. The papers tell us one minute a fee is agreed, then the next it isnt. Celtic are talking to him though, so I bet we've asked to speak to the lad and define his terms before making an offer, as the more wages he demands, the less we'll probably want to pay up front. Him and his agent is saying all the right things though, I've got the feeling its being drawn out a little too much, which is dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted July 20, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted July 20, 2008 Is it not a bit complicated because he's got quite a few agents or something like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan petrov Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Aye he has a few agents for some reason, and he isnt exactly the easiest fella to work with going by his track record. He does want to come though, I think everyone gets that, but it all seems horribly complicated. The papers claim he wants 20k a week, 3.5 million fee. That's a lot of money for Celtic or Rangers to splash out on one player, but I think we genuinely need a better CB for the Champions League so it should be considrered an exceptional circumstance and the demands should be met. Yes, I know we are watching our figures now and have been burned by the Gravesen transfer most recently, but come on ffs. In saying that, it may just be paper talk, he may want 30k a week or so.

Mr Nice Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 he wants 32k apparently. He's on 6k p/w just now. Looks like the deal may be dead as celtic are only offering around 20k. Too many agents involved. I hope i'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted July 21, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted July 21, 2008 6k to 32k is quite a leap ffs. Greedy bas Even offering 20k is a bit much for someone who is on that sort of wage at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoroPhil Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 how seriously are you taking tonight's match? your season must start pretty soon I imagine? only our 2nd game, think we are playing different sides in each half like we did at York on Friday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOORAY HENRIK Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's our third game after Southampton on Friday and Fulham on Saturday. Very serious imo, there are quite a few positions up for grabs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankJJ Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 McCourt not there, small injury but left behind for treatment. Can't see us going hell for leather in this one, indeed we may even try out something different for use in European matches, maybe 451 but without the 6 centre half's that another club plays!

Mr Nice Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 important to get this season starting with a bang, so good to see the strongest team out. Looking forward to seeing Koki and hopefully Caddis in the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_cfc Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 that was pretty crap but at least we didnt lose the goal we lost was terrible, 1st by O'Dea and then Brown just smashing th ball off Aliadiere, where did he thing the ball was going to go? McDonald and Samaras were both garbage, poor touch and control, always losing possesion and hardly linking up at all. Big Jan done more then both of them put together in only a couple of minutes I really cant understand why we are still sticking Robson out on the right, why not more him left and Aiden right? Brown never had a great game but he looks to have a bit more confidence Oh and Bobo causing havoc in the Boro box towards the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_cfc Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 i wouldnt say we were lucky, both teams created very little, Samaras had probably the 2 best chances of the 1st half. both goals were poor goals to lose, particularly yours when our keeper just blasted the ball off Aliadiere and it went in without him knowing much about it . Draw was the fair result imo Your 2 new signings looked decent btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroPhil Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 yeah, heard Digard/Emnes played well.

miketheheadlesschicken Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Brown never had a great game but he looks to have a bit more confidence When did he become a defensive midfielder?

Boro never dominated, we held a lot of possesion and played like a typical no nonsense european team before bringing on the circus acts for the second half and causing carnage. Boro however seemed to be much more direct and prominent hen in possesion, final product desperately lacking in most cases though. Handy squad you have, and I do realise you had a few top teamers out as well. We, however, looked so static and on the whole one dimensional it was annoying, I can only hope the dynamic side is more evident once we play a few more games. We basically knock it about the back until forced to play the pass, which is usually a lob behind a full back for macdonald to chase or a pass into mcgeadys feet and by that time the defender is rigbht on him.

FrankJJ Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Not entirely sure what was the worst thing on show last night. Our performance, the officials performance, or, having just noticed it, Mark Brown's Star Trek goalkeeping jersey!!! I know there was experimentation, especially in the midfield with Brown left and Robson right, which I suspect is intended to keep games tight away from home in Europe, but I'm not too sure it worked!

FrankJJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Proper football match tonight, Porto still as unscrupulous as ever, even in a friendly, but a modicum of self satisfaction in beating them 1 - 0 with as good a team goal as you will see from JVOH. Robson, Brown, and the trio of McManus, Caldwell and THG playing superbly well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
