The Heid Resists Boot At Celtic!
Posted by: | CommentsDespite Media Headlines…..
Trust the media? Well do you? Naw me neither. Insteed of letting a player move on and wish him well at his new club, the media try to conjure up a headline implying that Gary Caldwell let because of Tony Mowbray.
When you actually read the comment from The Heid, he just says that some managers make you feel wanted and other don’t. He also said that during his contract negotiations his ’side’ wanted one thing and the club offered something else.
No hard feelings, that’s the way it goes sometimes. Caldwell also said that he was willing to stay until the end of the season to try and help the Hoops regain the SPL title. Hardly the actions of a bitter man?
Yet the headline on the Sky Sports website read; “Caldwell-Mowbray Prompted Exit” suggesting that Mogga had chased the player out the club!
Seems to me the media are hellbent on stirring trouble and making an issue out of nothing……
No change there then!
Will WGS Come Back For Gary And Scott?
Posted by: | CommentsStrachan 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.
