Matt. I know that 3 mil seems excessive but if we didn’t snap him up we would have been involved in a wages tug of war when his contract ran out.
I think GS will most likely play him in central defence with Caldwell taking up the defensive midfield position. There’s been talk of Shaun coming back, but Villa are waiting to get someone in before they sell him to us for 1.8 million.

Doesn’t seem better than what we have. Hope I’m wrong though.

Yeah, J. Everything seems to going well for the Green side of Glasgow now. Unrelated, but are you writing the Fenerbache offside page as well?

Marky-I haven’t seen anything about him playing LB, but if he has a history of playing there, then there is a chance Strachan will put him there. We know he won’t replace McManus and Caldwell is playing really well of late, so it would seem that if he’s capable then he would play LB but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. He seems like an adequate player, but 3 million seems like a lot for a player in his last year of his contract.

Hello fellow champions. I heard a wee rumour that Loovens is equally adept at playing left back. Is this the case? He does look a quality signing. Helping his team to win the UEfA cup and reaching the finals of the FA cup, certainly gives him the type of big pressure game experience required in the Champions league.

I read the same thing. Brilliant tactical move by Celtic.
