Why do I get the horrible feeling he ain't coming to us. Because he was on 6.5k per week and should have no trouble getting that in Toulouse.

Welsh was great, but other football playing centre backs are available. The amazing thing to me was that I never spoke to a Celtic fan who rated him in the slightest.

Nobody at the club, fans or Board, seems to rate him. I understand that sometimes players aren't always a good fit for a particular team or system, but given the way Celtic like to play it feels like an obvious choice to keep him (and start him).

grizzlyg Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Would love to see us sign him but cant see it happening unless we can offer parts of deal like big signing on fee and maybe a percentage of transfer fee when sold. Kelly must hsve been on big wage at QPR before he signed for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would presume that the reason he has agreed to rip up the last year of his contract is because he has been offered a deal elsewhere on the same or better. Why else would you? Clearly they want him off the books to free up a wage, the fact that they dont have to pay up his contract is a bonus for them. I love the fact its being painted as a charitable exercise from Celtic though as a thanks for all his years of loyal service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a charitable act on Celtics part I will be surprised if it’s not Toulouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that confirms what we all know about the vast majority of Celtic fans. Totally clueless. he’s not rated by them as he’s Scottish and a product of their awful youth academy. Even the likes of James Forrest and Macgregor who are highly decorated and whatever we think of them have been excellent Celtic players, haven’t ever been really liked by their support and have had many shout of “not Celtic class “… whatever that means. for me Welsh and McGinn have been the best defenders in the league this year… by a distance. good luck to Welsh, he gave his all and it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up in France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel this is typical in Scotland. If you have an Italian, Spanish or sexy Dutch name, you're probably going to be regarded as intrinsically better. Likewise, if John McGlynn were a slim 30-y-o with a sexy foreign name, he would be praised as a tactical genius. IMHO one of the best things Askou did was to show that humble players, Scottish or otherwise, could play great football based on ball-control, positional awareness, passing and moving, bravery on the ball and risk-acceptance if they are properly coached. In a sense, Clarke is the opposite, as stuck in the past as the other hardy annuals on the Scottish managerial merry-go-round who people our media as pundits. As far as Scotland squads are concerned, OF Scottish players can walk in but players at provincial clubs are at a huge disadvantage and SC will look to the English Championship, whether in form or not, before considering a Watt, McGinn or Welsh. Some might say Clarke hasn't as much time with the players as club managers do but most of those players outwith the Scottish Premiership are probably quite used to more enlightened coaching. They just need a mindset and a plan devised by a talented and progressive manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not interested in clubs like ours. He might have came once the year before to see Miller but I don’t remember the game. His treatment of Miller is an utter disgrace, to bring in a boy with no game experience before the likes of Miller is a crime. I find it annoying we are at a World Cup and I have no excitement about it as I know we’ll watch 3 games of anti football and embarrass ourselves yet again at a tournament in front of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted Wednesday at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:29 PM I still think he’s the best striker we have on the books.
