captainkev Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm no getting into this center mid pish with you man. Telfer can play wide easily enough, who knows where his best position is, like you said probably Armstrong's role, but we now need to be look at alternatives for Gary's position. Connolly or Telfer fit for me, they are both raw and game time can only help their development. I personally feel Connolly and Spittal are the best two prospects for the wide attacking roles and Telfer is better suited to play in either Armstrong's current position when he goes or further back in the midfield as he did against Hamilton.

peeeel Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd agree with ArabFC (that's twice its happened now). Connolly in a wide position but not Telfer, though I think Connolly is ready for more regular football. Thing is if GMS is going we must be looking to bring someone unless there's yet another young talent winding his way through. It's a shame Ali Coote isn't further in his development, could have been an ideal opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Peh McBridie Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Good luck to him. Fantastic player in past seasons (when fit) but been utter pish this year bar 2 games (Dee and P-Thistle) and knew he was going to leave anyway so not bothered by this in the slightest. Only issue now is do we keep playing him (he'll get booed by the dim element of our support) or play Telfer or Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not on Facebook or Twitter though and I get paid for sitting at this desk so, y'know.

Pull My Strings Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You're having a floppy (again). You can't really think that the half dozen or so of us on here who disagree with peeeeeeeel are any more representative of Arabs than those who contribute through other social network. Floppy? You mean like I'm having a stroke, or a seizure? Or are you suggesting that I can't sustain an erection because I can. I totally can and you can just about shut your dirty mouth!

Granny Danger Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Not that surprised, but he could have continued playing as he is playing and hoped his form attracted other options. There's no law to say you need to sign a pre-contract at the first available opportunity. You're right, there is no law. What this has been is a judgment call by the player and his agent. Fact is if his form drops again or, worse still, he gets an injury it might be he wouldn't get the opportunity again. What's strange is that's there some folk questioning whether he's good enough to play regularly for Celtic but also suggesting he should hold out for something 'better'.

banana Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd agree with ArabFC (that's twice its happened now). Connolly in a wide position but not Telfer, though I think Connolly is ready for more regular football. Thing is if GMS is going we must be looking to bring someone unless there's yet another young talent winding his way through. Dow, Armstrong, Ciftci, Erskine, Connolly. Spittal? Enough options, no?

For some reason I never even thought of Spittal another reason we should look to play Gary less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get into the midfield pish, but Telfer ain't a winger, and he is doing a good job in an area where he is needed right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't an anti old-firm thing for me, but if I was a pro-footballer, I'd want to test myself in England/Spain/Italy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Dow, Armstrong, Ciftci, Erskine, Connolly. Spittal? Enough options, no? Options yes. But I think we might all well have to swallow the fact that with GMS going in the summer for nowt, Armstrong and Ciftci will likely depart if any decent money is on the table for them. Both out of contract end of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 For some reason I never even thought of Spittal another reason we should look to play Gary less. Like you I don't think GMS's current form is going to last much longer, but I think we should keep playing him at the moment until his form does dip again and proves those suspicions correct. I'm a big fan of Connolly but monday night for me showed that he isn't quite ready yet so I don't want to see him chucked in to replace GMS permanently at the moment. The same with Spittal.

GFARAB82 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think also its fairly obvious when a player goes to Celtic from your own club, if he is going to succeed. Mark Wilson was always going to do well, but never going to be a star. Davie Hannah? Well we couldn't kick him out the door fast enough when offered that money. We made a £100k profit on him after we resigned him from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30799180 McNamara is a bit of a fanny sometimes. Coming out with stuff about plastic pitches and the like and now this. Celtic are within their rights to act as they have and I hope we are doing the same with other clubs.
