Daydream Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Doesnt always work though, we've had some bad Scottish signings too. Willo Flood for instance True, they don't all work out. I don't think they always got a chance to 'bed in' tbh. With Rangers destined to be shite for years to come it'd be good to see your team built around Scottish players. Of course there'll always be a place for good foreigners, especially when you can punt them on for £10M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 For Scepovic and Balde, Celtic couldve potentially got Andy Robertson and Stevie May. If theyd saved the wages spent on Guidetti, Wakaso and Berget, they potentially could've afforded Souttar and Ciftci. Gordon Lustig/Matthews - Van Djik - Souttar - Robertson Brown Armstrong - Johanson Mackay-Steven --------------------- May Ciftci Wouldve been some team.

Would have been, and the rest of Scottish football would be outraged at us "stealing players" and having a pop at these guys for "lack of ambition" Etc...etc...

Vbhoy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Strong rumours that we're in talks with Barry Douglas now that Dijks looks like he's going back to Ajax. Douglas might be Polish champion tomorrow btw, Poznan is one point ahead of Legia in the Ekstraklasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Makes you wonder how much of a say Deila has in the transfers tbh I would imagine very little. I get the impression most of the transfer are down to John Park and Peter Lawwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe he was one who was targeted before Deila took charge or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe he was one who was targeted before Deila took charge or something The story I've been told Ronny was meant to come in as No.2 under Lennon as Mjallby was leaving with Ronny eventually to take over in the long term. But with Lennon leaving unexpected the club decided to bring in Ronny as manager Johansen was brought in under Lennon, Pretty sure he was recommended by Park.

GMS and Armstrong were very much down to Ronny. He looted the Arabs Viking-style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vbhoy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Word is that Boyata is signing tomorrow for free with a buy-back clause. I think he'll be an excellent signing - so much potential, bu never got a run of games at City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vbhoy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I really don't think city will be in a rush for a buy back. Probably not, but they've been impressed with Denayer's development this season so they'd like to have the option if he develops in the same way.

Armand 2 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I really don't think city will be in a rush for a buy back. Probably not in order to play him but if Boyata has a few decent seasons in Scotland and starts to garner the interest that Van Dijk has, City could profit on the deal - pay the buy-back and sell him for whatever the going rate is at the time.

He will be 25 next time a transfer window comes around. I think he's developed as much as he can. Not saying it's not a good signing for celtic but he's not good enough for the premiership down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's not a good signing for celtic but he's not good enough for the premiership down south. He won't develop physically, but he has less than 60 games under his belt. He could double that in one season for us he should be a better player at the end of next season than he is now or we're doing something wrong. City clearly rates him at some level, just not enough to play him ahead of Kompany and Demichelis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Should be a good signing at this level, although being 24, you'd have thought he'd have more games under his belt. Well, this is his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
