Coco Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Clearly we need 2 strikers. We need a player who can hold the ball up front and distribute it, who can win headers, and who might chip in with some goals. We also need a player who has a bit of pace, who can shoot, who can pass the ball, who can take free kicks. Who could play up front, wide or in the hole. Surely Killen and Riordan are sick of the Celtic reserves by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Root Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Pinilla must surely be getting ready for his quarterly game? 90mins every 3mths, that's proper football Beattie's available supposedly, he'd be worth a punt. Riordan too. Not convinced that Killen wouldn't spend more time on the physio's table than the pitch. I'd promote Branny. If it was good enough for Elliott and Mole.

paulyjambo Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yeah would agree with that. Pinilla Velicka Newbie Newbie Now for a right back..... ......And left back.......and Right wing.......and an attacking midfielder for when Larry aint playing......and good cover for everywhere else.

Drylaw Hearts Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Celtic appear to be able to get good money for Reserve players. eg ?1.2million for Beattie. I would hate to think of what price they want for 2 strikers who have both scored more goals in a Season than Beattie. At a much lesser club. This Season we started with : Velicka Bennyuseless Makela Pospisl Bednar Pinilla Elliot IMO the quality wasn't there then and it has got even worse now. We currently have : Bennyuseless Makela Nade Elliot Mole I cannot see us being prolific goalscorers in the remainder of our SPL matches. We need 4 strikers next Season. But first and foremost we need a New Manager to decide which 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Funny It has taken Vlad 3 years to produce a striker who looked capable of 20 a season and now we've flogged him for pennies. But yes, the striker situation at the club has not really ever been satisfactorily resolved If we think about every other area of the team though we actually need improvement in about 75% of the team IMO.

Coco Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think we have 3 full backs in Neilson, Wallace and Goncalves who can do a solid job in the SPL.

I dont think Robbie is that comfortable in an attacking sense. Thats how I see it. In games where we ask Robbie to defend, he'll do a decent job. Against lesser teams, when he gets time on the ball, and we ask Robbie to move forward and create, he's not very good at it. We could do with a RB who is more capable going forward for games against lesser teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Obviously we would all like a higher quality attacking midfielder. But the squad is awash with lightweight attacking midfielders. For midfield the priority has to be to get stronger players who can win the ball in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all we've all heard about his (ahem) workrate his (cough) hold-up play and his (cough cough) touches. It's just that pesky goalscoring thing that us fans get uneccessarily peeved at, because really, "quality" wise things are obviously fine. Hearts strikers would feel a lot better about things if us bloody fans didn't keep making these bloody goalscoring demands upon them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
