Turkish Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 Celtic Gaffer said nothing changed re VVD and doesn't want to think about that now but Chris Sutton saying he thinks its a done deal for VVD to leave. Hartson agreeing. Sutton would fit in well on this forum tbh. A Bedwetting imbecile who knows nothing about football, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Patrón Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 So will people be happy if VVD is our only remaining transfer business this window? I'm 50/50 tbh, our transfers look quality on paper but we're looking complete turd on the pitch. I think we're gonna be relying a lot on Clasie producing the goods this season. Couldn't complain about our squad depth but the quality is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 Couple of weeks ago people were saying that if we got Classie and VVD they'd be very happy but now because of a few poor performances after he pretty much knows he's leaving you aren't sure?

Monk Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 He hasn't had a medical yet. Saints have made two offers to Celtic; fee amount depending on qualification for CL. I believe the fee's had been agreed. No talks and medical either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would be better, IMO. Don't think he'll calm down Jose's nerves. Nevermind! Still worth giving him a chance, likewise Clasie, but I think we'll still majorly flappy.

scotty Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 These are all recent purchases who arrived without the expectations that seem to be pitched at Van Dijk. Yes it does happen when a team is being built. It depends if you're building from the bottom up again or from a strong position already attained. The quality or readiness has to be higher if it's the latter. Basel would be very pleasant too.

saintsmike25 Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 A few sub par performances and suddenly our season depends on signing Van Dijk. Fickle Saints fans I think, I think an attacking minded CM would have been much more important, someone who can score goals from the middle of the park. As it is, Wanyama/Davis/JWP/Reed/Claisie are all unlikely to offer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Clasie going in to DM ahead of Romeu (based on what we've seen so far) so presumably he will have to convert to the number 10 role, or play wide? Where does Juanmi fit in, who's looked OK when he has played? I can't see us signing any more players and if we go out of Europa on Thu (50-50 in my book) I could even see us selling one forward.

Cabrone Posted 26 August, 2015 Share Posted 26 August, 2015 As a springboard for attack he's good but as a defender he's not impressed me. Didn't handle the Malmo attack atall well and he'd be facing that level and higher every week in the prem. On the plus side he's young and does look to have raw talent but he's going to need some working on by the coaches no doubt. I'd like to see him sign based on his potential but any fans that think he's the instant answer need to reign in their expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 26 August, 2015 Share Posted 26 August, 2015 I don't get all the negativety based on one game. Perhaps Ron isn't thinking, 'boy, watching him play he's a world beater, i'll buy him.' Perhaps he's thinking, 'There are some positiveve that I can work with to make him a world beater'. Ron seems to get these players in, that all the big clubs aren't interested in, and turns them into somehtign a little special. Perhaps that's the secret ingredient. He hasn't doen us wrong yet.
