Celtic have been linked with not one but two Premier League cast-offs today with the word ‘marquee’ being bandied about.
Sorry to be a wet blanket BUT if that’s what we consider marquee – we’re in big trouble.
Andy Carroll, an old-fashioned striker who could undoubtedly be a big player for Celtic if he wasn’t so injury prone. The fact that he has had 11 separate injuries since joining West Ham, many of them being longterm, to buy this player or bring him in on a free would be negligent by Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers is a level-headed manager and will know he would have to put down a significant amount of money to land Carroll in the hope he stayed fit for half a season at least. It just doesn’t seem feasible.
Then there is Bournemouth’s Jermain Defoe; a 36-year-old English striker who has not scored in the ten appearances he’s made for the club this season.
The arrogance of the English media to claim this would be a marquee for Celtic is astounding but expected.
The Sunday Post claims Celtic are thinking about making an ‘exception’ to their wage structure to bring one of the two forwards in.
Not a chance.
If either come to the club, it will not be because they have broken any wage structure.
Celtic are all about bringing in young, hungry talent who can improve the team and ultimately be sold on for a hefty profit.
Neither fit the mold and neither seems like Brendan Rodgers type signings.
Don’t need them and don’t want them.
Andy Carrol – maybe not. But Jermsine De Foe for a season or two – ABSOLUTELY. .The man can score for fun. It’ll be like bringing in Robbie Keane all those years. ago. Bournemouth are shit and don’t create many chances. Celtic ain’t shit and do. Do the maths mi amigo.
If it is Carroll or Defoe it will be a short term fix and both would put fear in to any team,but lets face it if we are going for ten or more then our needs right now could be one of them,eight in a row will be the hardest one to win they put so much money over the last few seasons on a new teams and mangers money that they can not afford its there last stand if we win eight that will break them they will have a fire sale to pay off the debt from there last few seasons…..
What ever happens we play as one in the last two games and win both be BOSS AND BE ONE LETS DO THIS CELTIC ITS OURS FOR THE TAKEN….
