Celtic Diary Monday January 14: Smell Their Fear

Halfway through the transfer window, and we’re going to pause to see how some observers view the signings already made by champions Celtic and high flying new club “rangers “.

Then we’ll get to the stories flying around about the second half.

Keith Jackson, an esteemed and knowledgable Sottish football pundit, compares and contrasts the acquisitions at Ibrox with those made at Celtic Park;

Celtic are taking a huge gamble on 8 in a row while Rangers have brought in guaranteed goals – Keith Jackson

January is fast becoming a fascinating month for the Glasgow giants argues our chief football writer. 

He’s their chief football writer. An astonishing swipe at the abilities of the others at the Record sports desk.

One month ago, in these very pages, some far-seeing visionary suggested in these very pages that what Brendan Rogers really required to pluck from this transfer window was a tried-and-tested scorer of goals. No more works in progress or long-term projects, Celtic’s manager needed to rail against the club’s strategic policies by demanding they pay top dollar for the finished article. Someone like Jermain Defoe

I’m guessing this far seeing visionary was Jackson.

So he thought Rodgers should sign Defoe, and because Gerrard has signed him, that sort of elevates Jackson into some sort of specialist advisor.

“Top dollar for the finished article ”

They haven’t paid top dollar, they’ve borrowed him as his parent club cannot find a place in the team for him ahead of their number one strikeforce, whose names escape me for the moment.

But he’s right about him being a finished article, otherwise his parent club wouldn’t have let him go, or they would have sold him to the highest bidder.

There weren’t any bidders.

That Defoe is now dusting down his old shooting boots on the other side of Glasgow’s divide is another fascinating plot twist and a feather in the cap of a Rangers board which has not always appeared to be pulling in the same direction but which has now united fully behind manager Steven Gerrard.

Of all the many good things Gerrard has done for this club in a short space of time, most significantly of all, he has provided Rangers with a genuine sense of purpose and direction.

And this has manifested itself in Dave King and his regime throwing the kitchen sink at the second half of the campaign in the belief they might never have a better chance of stopping Celtic’s trophy sweep in its tracks.

Dave King perhaps should be throwing his weight behind the court order to place money into an account to comply with the Takeover Panel ruling, which to my mind would show a lot more commitment to his club than finding someone on the books of Gerrards agent who fancies a game of football.

If Defoe would have been a smart signing for Celtic then it stands to reason that the 36-year-old ought to be a brilliant bit of business for Gerrard. Even if his best days may be behind him, the Englishman is a proven predator and those old habits tend to die hard.

On the face of it, Rangers have won a watch with this signing even if there is no way of knowing for sure that his legs and lungs will still be up to the job, 

So, its a great signing even though it cannot be established that he’s even physically up to an hour and a half of football every week.

Which you would have thought would be the first thing you’d check, especially given that there are several examples of great names from England falling on their arses when they retired to Scotland.

Roy Keane was crowded out on his Celtic debut at Clyde, and never recovered, his old frame simply not up to it any more.

More recently, Joey Barton complained that no one in Scotland was as good as he was, which meant he couldn;t adapt, and Nico Krancjar was another who came, who saw, and who declared he would conquer, before realising he couldn’t.

Still, Defoe is a safe bet ? Not safe enough for any other team who need a proven goalscorer, but we’re lead to believe that he chose “rangers ” ahead of a multitude of suitors.

Defoe actually claimed that he’d turned down Crystal Palace to team up with Stevie Staunch, but Roy Hodgson, the Palace manager said he wasn’t and isn’t interested in him.

Calum Wilson is the top scorer at Bournemouth, with 8 in the league, where bournemouth have a goal difference of -1. Yet they leave this tried and test goal scoring sensation not only out of the team, but out of the country.

In actual fact, the signings of three new forwards by Rodgers to compliment an already impressive front line has terrified the laptop loyal.

Weah, Burke and Bayo are young, hungry, fast and extremely talented. They join Sinclair, Forrest, Griffiths Edouard, Johnston and Rogic which will increase the sales of toilet paper at ibrox just by reading those names.

Except in Jacksons mind, of course, which has put the shutters up to block the reality of the outside world.

then Celtic’s manager must be convinced that in Timothy Weah, Vakoun Issouf Bayo and Oliver Burke he has brought in all the additional firepower he needs in order to blast the challengers to smithereens.

That’s a huge leap of faith given the lack of experience and game time this three have under the belts. At 18, for example, Weah has played just two top flight matches for Paris St Germain. His bloodline suggests he has a chance to go far in the game and the fact that he has already made it from America to PSG, indicates he has talent to go with the name on the back of his shirt.

But is there any way of knowing for sure that he is ready to be plunged into Scottish football’s deep end?

 

Paris St Germain have Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani keeping him out of the team.

Yet he’s still played a couple of times, at the age of 18.

But there are doubts over his ability to cut it in Scotland ?

Well, we are assured his legs and lungs are in better shape than Defoes, and Neymar, a little shit but there isn;t a team in the world who wouldn’t want him in their colours, probably knows him a little better than most..

“It is a very exciting move for him from what I have seen of his talent he has everything to go and be one of the top attacking players in Europe.

“It is a good move for him, a good move for Celtic as they are getting such a big talent, and also a good move for PSG because he has a chance to get experience and games and come back to us a more complete player.

“He did have options – but he chose the right one. Celtic are a big club, in their league they attack a lot and score a lot of goals, and also they are still in Europe – so they offer him much.” 

“He has talent – we know that but also he has a great attitude.

“From the first day I met him he has wanted to learn off the players who have already won the major trophies, from the players who have already achieved big things in the game.

“He is a fun guy to be around – but also he is very humble and that is what you want to see from a young player. 

Our man in Dubai reckons he showed enough during the training camp to back up Neymars opinion.

And then some.

Jackson also casts doubts on Bayo, and adds that

his own manager admitted the striker still needs to sharpen up his close control. 

Lubomir Moravcik,one of the finest footballers to ever wear a Celtic shirt, said;

“I think he is ready to play well in Scotland. He has a lot of good qualities – he is 6ft tall, can cope with the physical side of the game, is a very good header of the ball, is quick enough and technically is excellent. It is a good idea for Celtic to target him.” 

And Oliver Burke ? Jackson was somewhat dismissive..

And then there’s Burke who has made just 18 appearances in 18 months at West Brom amid concerns that his career has been stalled by a suspect attitude and a questionable approach 

Burke should grab hold of this opportunity with all of his might and, if he does channel all of his raw power and ferocious pace properly, then Celtic may make a player of him all over again.

But, again, there’s a lot of ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ in there when this does not feel like an appropriate time for imponderables. 

I think his lungs are fine, Keith. And he’s bloody quick.

Kenny Dalglish, another who could put in a reasonable claim to be the finest player ever to wear the hoops , said;

“In the case of Burke, Celtic have signed a player with enormous potential, who offers flexibility in the forward areas of the pitch, whether he is wide right, coming in off the left or straight through the middle.”

“Watching his interviews on the telly from Celtic’s winter training camp in Dubai, Oliver clearly appears to be happy at joining my former club, and the chance to work under Brendan Rodgers has appealed to him,” 

But Jackson, the chief football writer at a glasgow based PR outlet, reckons..

If anything, Rangers have gone for relatively safe bets by splashing out on Defoe and also Steven Davis, who is probably the personification of a tried-and-tested transfer policy.

 Rodgers, on the other hand, will have to wait and see. 
Neymar, Moravcik, Dalglish on one side, Jackson on the other…
Image result for who to believe gif
Oh, and what an introduction to Scottish football Defoe faces…

We have been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast ahead of the game v & have decided to put the pitch covers down to protect the pitch against frost. We are asking for volunteers to come along & assist the club at 1pm on Wednesday afternoon.

Good thinking by Cowdenbeath. We should always keep an eye out for the auld yins in this weather
Brendans devil may care attitude to the transfer window may continue yet, Celtic haven’t spent their budget, and despite his claims that there will be no marquee signing, thats not to say there will be no more signings.
You can discount Victor Wanyama. that rumour was started by a a couple of mischievous scamps in a pub and it sort of grew wings.
Kolo Toure had his contact book out for the siging of Bayo, and it may also be out for the next incoming, another Ivorian, a central defender whose name got lost in the fuss when Brendan apparently asked Kolo what his brother was up to…
YaYa Toure has been mentioned as a possible signing for Celtic, and although its very unlikely, it would be funny.
Would Keith Jackson describe him as tried and tested ? A safe bet…
Or would he be too old and slow for the frantic and highly combative world of Scottish football ?
There is talk of a big press conference today.
Thats possible, as the team flew back from Dubai yesterday, and Lawwell and rodgers will want to reclaim the back pages.
The first shots in the propaganda war were fired by Jackson today.
Lets see how Celtic retaliate.
Yesterday, we had this picture of a Russian classroom,

We’ll see. Our 3 signings are young and have their very best ahead of them. Weah and Bayo are certainly the real deal. Weah has already scored for PSG as a teenager.

Transparency in any form of government or institution must be a good thing, when things are hidden behind the corridors of power, it only breeds suspicion. If transparency had been enforced when “Rangers” died, the reincarnation would have ensured that people knew the truth and so many lies hidden in the re-formation of the new club could have led to a clean slate football wise. But that basic right of supporters was denied, it has led to a 6/7 year campaign for truth and justice by our Res.12 campaigners, their battle continues. A new fight for transparency is underway. A fight for truth and justice at the SFA and its refereeing fraternity, it is so corrupt that like its governing body requires to be completely dismantled and reformed. Transparency and honesty should be a given in every form of sport, how awful is it, that we have to fight for its inclusion…

Mike – you’re never going to get openess and transparency from an organisation whose senior staff, for the most part, are members of a secret society in some cases two secret organisations viz Freemasonry & Orange Order! The Lanarkshire Referees Association is a totally corrupt organisation and it is from this swamp many of the top referees in Scotland hail (no pun intended!) This is what you’re up against when you try to effect reform in Scottish refereeing standards. This is another example of the other clubs in Scotland not backing Celtic when they have raised legitimate concerns about the standard of refereeing in Scotland. Stewart Milne has been bumping his gums recently calling for some sort of investigation into refereeing and SFA operating procedures. Why is he silent now? Why aren’t any of the other club chairmen whose clubs have suffered dubious decisions when playing ‘rangers’asking if they, too can have a meeting with SFA? The answer is obvious, it’s because it’s Celtic doing the asking and nobody can be seen to be supporting anything Celtic do – this is the glass ceiling/brick wall/ electrified fence whatever- Celtic are all alone on one side of this and always will be in the corrupt and bigoted world of Scottish football. That’s the plain truth and that’s why any and every attempt by Celtic to clean up this cesspool will be rebuffed. They used to hide behind “honest mistakes” for ref blunders and our ‘paranoia’ for everything else- now since 2012 and the breathtaking cheating/corruption/collusion that was accepted by all (except Celtic FC and I’m not even sure about that) they are just cheating out in the open and telling us to suck it up! Fact is ‘rangers’ are in dire financial straits. No investment by any reputable business people is going to happen. King has his own nefarious ways of making it look as if money is coming in through share issues – aye right go tell it to the Marines Dave! However, their whole business plan is based on them getting into CL so the fix is in, the word is out to the brethren in black and the only way Celtic can beat back this corruption is on the park playing against 14 or even 15 men every game. This is our reality! Celtic may have made a statement but I’ll be very surprised if they do much more in their search for transparency and I will be even more surprised if any such transparency ever happens. This is a fight that needs real leadership and sadly, at Celtic FC I don’t see any of that!

Why aren’t Celtic kicking up blazes that their meeting with SFA has not yet taken place? Why are we not hearing of any arrests in the Beaton death threats story? Why are we just going into the business end of the season with nothing resolved and very clear indicators that it will be business as usual from the Masons in the black? If we don’t show some backbone here we are in for some torrid times. Incidentally, I think the Celtic support are going to have to up their game and really get behind the team from here on in till seasons end even if things are sometimes not going well. We need to roar our team on and show that we are all pulling together to win this league and no cheating bastard team is going to take it from us!-We saw the effort the forces of darkness put in to upset our team and to try everything they could to give their team an edge. Did you know that the Union Bears sent out directive which meant that every ‘rangers’ supporter had to stand the entire 90 mins of game? (My neighbour ST holder there told me she was knackered but had to stand whole game) We are lights years ahead of this shower so let’s show it with the kind of support we show on European nights at every single game!

Christina, I wish that I could reassure you, or offer some words of comfort about either of your replies, but I cannot. I do know that Res.12 is still ongoing and I do know that all the people behind it are including the diarist serious and intelligent people, they will never give up on it. It must come to some conclusion fairly quickly, but you know where I stand on that. The cheating that went on in the swamp was off the Richter scale. It was so obvious that I thought that Kings instructions and actions was followed to the letter, it seemed clear to me, that if we had won that serious criminal actions would have taken place. (not that we would/could have won). We were told that when we last lost during Delia’s time that D.D. was so upset, well you know what happened after that. So I can only hope that some things are going on behind the scene to counteract what happened in our last game. My own thoughts are to (police Res.12) and to try to starve the other clubs of our green pound in every away game and every SFA cup game, to utilise the power that we have as a united support, but not to hurt our club. Can you imagine losing title number 8, because if that happened then that would make the support very angry and would have some serious repercussions, I don’t want that to happen, period, but if it did, then watch the pressure ramp up. Nothing they would do would surprise me, but they must be under serious financial pressure, King is under pressure with the TOP, I have a feeling that he will not be around for much longer, perhaps them also. So the end of this season is crucial to what happens next, KTF Christina, have patience for a wee while longer, sometimes its darkest just before the dawn, patience grasshopper sometimes events determine the future…

Deila and Lenny had bigger comparative advantages over their rivals, given no Huns, Hearts & Hibs.

Europe is infinitely more difficult than even a years ago both qualifying and after.

Average, you say:

– 2 CL groups
– 2 EL knockout stages
– finishing above previous EL SF Anderlecht
– finishing above German cracks Leipzig
– undefeated in 2 games against near billion pound City
– Anderlecht(a) 3-0
– Leipzig 2-1
– Ber Sheva 5-2
– Astana 5-0

Only someone who considers a double treble (one invincible) as only to be expected would consider that average.
