OldFart Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Not a lot I would disagree with from sam100's post except that I wouldn't be too keen on Ashton simply because he's been all season so far getting over his broken ankle and isn't back in training yet as far as I know.

Condimentalist Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If we actually signed: Maloney Davies Nugent Bardsley Beckham Would people be too upset? I'd obviously be absolutely chuffed with that, but I can't see us signing 5 players in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think we should carry out some sort of elaborate spying operation to find out which unknowns Arsene Wenger has lined up this time and go for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Patrick, thats one thing I am confident about. I definitely can see 5 players arriving in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Rich, I think the mixture and type of players you picked out is about right, whether it is those particular players is another debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If we actually signed: Maloney Davies Nugent Bardsley Beckham Would people be too upset? Nope wouldn't be upset and the nearer we get the Jan the it looks like they could be a possibility, apart from Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 the only player im not too keen on is bobo balde, i would happily give him a fair chance if he came but the general celtic view from a forum i went on is that hes rubbish, and they can't wait to get his 30 grand a week off there books As I've said before, he is a player I'm keen on and I think we'll sign him. I think his contract is up at the end of the season and he has been coming back from injury. He said a few months ago he wasn't interested in a move - like he could move anyway as the transfer window was shut - and he just wanted to get back to full fitness with Celtic. Maybe I'm wrong but I took this to mean he would be moving in the January window if the right offer came in, otherwise he would be off in the summer. I like him because he makes me think of a nastier version of Ehiogu. He seems to have that loping speed and won't be bullied by anyone in the PL. If we could send out a back line comprising of a permutation of him, Mellberg, Laursen, Ridgewell and Cahill I can see that being pretty solid.

paddy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I liked Baldé a few years back at Celtic, always seemed to put in a good performance when I saw him, haven't seen him play for a couple of years now though so could have gone downhill a bit.

Paddy - the same was exactly said about Agathe and look how that ended up!!! I don't think Balde is the right option IMO as he's at the wrong end of his career and probably hasn't played more than a handfull of testing games in Scotland - if MON wants back up at the back I suggest we buy another RB and allow Olly to return to the middle (+ buy Curtis Davies :winkold: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree and I've seen little this season of him to further qualify my opinion. He may be a poor signing now but I think if MON signs him he will have watched him and know whether he is worth taking on. I do love the idea of a 6' 5" athlete-beast in our back line, though!

Also just because one player ended up like that doesn't mean they all will. Who was keen on signing Sutton? Not me for one, but I hold my hands up and say I was wrong.
