Loading ...Will WGS Come Back For Gary And Scott?
ByStrachan In Hunt For New Players
Now that Gordon Strachan has officially been named as the new Middlesbrough manager, and we wish him well, the first thing on his mind will be to strengthen the weakened Championship side.
That means bring in Championship quality players….and we have a few of them.
The obvious target would be contract rebel and ‘fans favourite’ (see our poll) Gary Caldwell. WGS previously tied Gary up on a freedom of contract deal when he brought the player to Celtic Park from Hibs.
Something similar might be of interest to both Celtic and Boro, although Tony might prefer to take the £50 in January for Caldwell!
Then there’s Skoosh.
We all know that Broonie is suffering from a recurring injury problem, one that has more than hampered his performances but again Celtic would be willing to offload the £4.4m player and his wages if we can at least recoup the money spent on him.
Both players did a turn for us and wee Ghord last season, so it could well be in everybody’s interest for the pair to leave and Celtic free up some dough and bring in the new faces that Tony craves for.
Lets be honest Boro would be getting two internationals and Mogga would be rid of part of the unrest in the dressing room.
When Harry Met Sally..Do We NEED Rangers?
Hope so!
Gordon Strachan seems like the sort who likes to rely on the tried and tested. He has a track record of signing guys he has worked with before, so hopefully he will do us one last favour and come and take some of the dross he left us with.
My only concern is that Boro will have very little cash to spend. That’s ok, ‘Heid’ and ‘Captain Hands-up’ won’t cost much anyway. If some sucker wants to give us back what we paid for Skoosh then all the better.
I honestly think we will be hard pushed to get rid of half of the bloated squad we have. Who would be interested in Killen, Naylor, Wilson, etc.? Who would give us money for Samaras? If Wigan are interested in McDonald at any price then he should be Fedexed there in a next day delivery all shiney and wrapped up.
