If the rumour about Germini is right maybe Butt is on the move. Ole is pass it now, we need youth and speed.
Madrids front line is awesome, we need a world class striker to link up with RVN.

Ole past it? As long as Ronaldo gets a game for them Ole surely would.

you realize there´s only a handful of "world class" strikers in this world, do you?

About what?, Butt or Solskjaer?. I still think Solskjaer can offer us something but am unsure whether ferguson will keep him if he re-builds.

With nicky butt, im not a huge fan and ive never really been. He's a good player, useful for sitting infront of the defence but going forward hes flimsey and i dont think his passing is up to scratch either.

Obviously he is, Butt is one of the very best defensive midfield players in the Prem.

You want to go and spend 20 million on someone like Torres do you, when we've got one of the best there is in Solskjaer, a bloke that can play on the right wing and be more effective than Beckham, can play on the left, could very easily play in the hole?

What we need right now is a 3rd/4th choice centre forward for backup. Think of the likes of Cisse in the season after next, it is not required right now. Scholes is coming on in the role. People slated him last year saying he couldn't do it, but he's adapting himself, and given time he will become perfect in that position.

Patience FFS!

I cannot believe people put down our problems in Madrid to our attack.

It's so obvious why we lost it kicks you in the face - we defended too deep.

Both. We´ve been in a rebuilding process for 3 years now. We´ve been replacing older players like Berg, Sheringham, Yorke, Cole, Stam and Irwin with younger players like Rio, Silvestre, RVN, Forlan, Veron, O´Shea, Brown etc.

You don´t rebuild over night.

I´m rather shocked you´re only the 2nd person to reply in the way I expected most people to.

Yes, i believe Butt had 2 or 3 very good games. But this is the same world cup in which Henry was shite, Trezeguet didnt score a single goal and Klose got 15 odd goals. You cant really go off the world cup, imo.
When butt's at his best hes brilliant, showed v.s argentina, but i really dont think hes constantly at his best enough, like i said, a good player to sit infront of the defemce, but going forward he looks like a kid getting into the shallow end of a pool for the first time, and his passing isnt always brilliant. Just my opinion, i may be wrong..

I posted that about 2 seconds after I read your post that started the thread. It was my reaction. It's a farce!
 
Butt and Ole for 15m and not a penny less. Saying that, even then it would be difficult to let such great lads go. In fact, make that 20m. ;)
 
Not a chance. Celtic don't have the money to spend - particularly on players who haven't got many years left.

Any significant outlay will be on younger players where they can recoup their investment by selling them on after a few years.
 
celtic lol


they have not got 2m neverless 12m

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I agree, though it was impressive how he did so well yesterday, hindered as he was by the zimmer frame.

Yeah,yeah, just voted for him in the poll??? feel like a right plonker!!!!
Still think he is a tad on the old side but not the skill side.
Just a single question, would you swop him for Rooney if it was a possibilty?
 
Youth are not hindered by big names i.e Rooney look at him against Turkey the other day.
Feel he is the sort of player we are looking for.
 
Surely Butty and Ole are way too young for Celtic.... tell em they can have Larry... ;) Oh, the price is still 15m for him though.... :D :D
 
Who honestly thinks Butt or Ole would be interested in going to Celtic to play Division 1 football??

I would have but I can't be bothered nowadays to answer, there are so many crap posts concerning players.

You're only as old as you feel Waz. ;) ;)

As for swapping Ole and Rooney - it couldn't happen. You reckon Everton would swap a 17 year old for a 30 year old!

But if it was an option, then yes, obviously.

As for feeling like a plonker - just try and look at the broader picture before you speak, ie put mouth in gear before engaging brain (or is it the other way round?). When OGS has a good run as a strike partner, and fails miserably, then it might be time to judge. He's actually done quite well this season considering.
 
Maybe you have to have a brain first before you can engage it?
I`m typing so I must have something resembling a brain?
 
Livvie, thats why i asked about swopping OGS for rooney, it wouldn`t happen, why because like you said who would swap an old one for a new one.

Lets get a new one.

Forlan??

Is he our new one??
 
Celtic DEFINITELY don't have that kind of money to spend and lets face it £12M for Butt and Ole is a joke......OLE is worth £10M minimum and Butt at least £5M. Don't believe this one. Don't know where it's come from but it ain't doing the rounds up here!!!!!
 
Agreed. 12m for Ole and Butt? That'd be a bargain - United aren't complete dopes!
 
It scares me that so few people appreciate the value and talent of Nicky Butt. Fair enough he's not one of the flair players but always does a top notch job for us and never complains about not being an automatic choice.

He's top drawer and I wouldnt like to see him go for £20m never mind £5m !!!
