I think there is mild meddling at the very least at many clubs. I watched the QPR documentary on Amazon recently and the owners were way overstepping the mark and that was in on camera so f**k knows what they would be like be like closed doors. When we signed Shved Rodgers admitted to not knowing anything about him and not desiring a player for that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loved Stevie May during his time at Aberdeen & willed him to do well, he didn't match up to expectations as to goal returns. The fact that we paid £400,000 toward him might explain why McInnes persevered with him for so long. Although £400, 000 is probably peanuts from a Celtic perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have squandered a few pennies in the transfers market, I don't think any club is immune to this but fans always take great pleasure in reminding other fans of the donkey's they sign. Eboue Kouassi was signed for a few million and sold for just over a million I tend not to believe in the figures printed in the papers for the handful of games he played. Lennon has pretty much cleared out most of the deadwood left behind from Rodgers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was a great player for Celtic until his dip in form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nature of that level of recruitment means there will be a few punts that turn out to be howlers but overall I think they have come out ahead of the game, which is bloody annoying for the rest of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did come back for training however the other day which shows he must have some interest In staying. Bain for me us a capable enough deputy but I wouldn’t be comfortable as him being number 1. We were linked with some greek keeper the other day also. You will have agreed a fee to buy Forster when you negotiated the loan deal surely ? Now is the time to exercise that clause and keep him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Wanyama and Forster to that list. Can understand Celtic fans frustrations when they don't compete at the highest level bit the buy low sell high model is what will keep them at the top in Scotland. Stark contrast to Rangers overpay and not see any return model. Edited June 28, 2020 by Merkland Red 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're being unfair. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
