Clubs are signing profiles now more than what fellas have actually done on the pitch. No idea who this lad is, but he is probably a size, can move at a certain rate and is decent technically. Itās why the likes of Idah are going for money.
The days of your Paul Dickov/David Connolly type striker are going.
Iād say big Havertz will start instead of that Gyokeres fella when heās back.
Heās missed last minute one on ones in both legs against Kairat & in the normal time in the cup final before the ultimate penalty shoot out defeat. He built up a lot of credit last season but that wonāt last forever - hopefully he knuckles down now & gets his move next summer.
An appalling statement released by Celtic this evening.
I naively expected there would be some explanation or late apology for a failure to conclude deals. And some sort of review etc. But itās a patronising explanation of a transfer window and a justification of the recent transfer window. And ignoring the complete shambles it was and how it was directly contradicting what Rodgers had said we were doing.
āChat GPT, write me a polite letter telling the plebs that this is a money making franchise which has nothing to do with them so they can take their notions and go fuck themselves.ā
To be fair it is a pretty big shift in approach after their meeting on Friday. It does show the majority of the support wants these chancers out if the CSA are now issuing no confidence votes when theyād usually be far from that.
The majority of their support can want all they want. They canāt really do anything. The owners donāt really care what the support actually thinks. They care about the bottom line. Itās a plc. It is what it is.
I donāt really think itās an option to sit back and be happy with not fulfilling potential. There is a bit of heat on DD and his cronies now, the importance of this campaign is ensuring that heat stays on now. It wonāt change anything over night, but lets not write off this campaign that is unifying the rest of the support after barely a week
My point is the board may pay lip service and maybe even throw a sacrificial lamb under the train, but theyāll only actually care if it affects the p&l.
I donāt believe enough supporters are in board to do this, as theyād have to resign their season tickets en masse, and the picket line wouldnāt hold
Thereās enough in that squad to qualify for the knock out stage. Celtic should also win the league. The failure of Celtic this year will be down to the Manager.
Seemingly 8000 have left the HCTS in a week along with thousands more refusing to buy the EL package as a protest. Thatās the start of a campaign, it will need to go up a few notches but the PLC will start to take notice when the above and more hits their back pockets
