That.

An injury to Defoe or Crouch and they'll struggle up top now. Eider is very overated atm imo, the guy is a shade of his former self. as for Pav, well.. he's just ok.

Keane was a perfect backup/rotation striker, the kind of asset you need in your squad to help keep up a consistant push for 4th place.

This deal has a high chance of backfiring on them. Silly silly spuds.

Add to that that they loaned out half their defensive cover. Not a clever window for them imo.

Very true. Letting Hutton go to Sunderland was particularly daft imo.

good move for the hoops - hopefully spurs will nosedive now - I want to read the term "injury crisis" and then we'll see how much of a good manager 'arry really is - we had/having one under Mancio but you wouldn't really know it

Glad he's left Spurs as it helps us.

Unless he can play at centre half though he wont make much difference to Celtic. Yes he'll score quite a few in a very weak SPL, but he will also have a great view as quite a few go in at the other end. The SPL has never been poorer, and I can't remember Rangers and Celtic being so weak either. This Rangers team is possibly the worst I've seen in the last 25 years and its still well clear at the top.

As for that cunt 'Arry's latest pearl of wisdom -

The Irish lads, it's in their blood and they dream of playing for Celtic

I'm staying at the hotel next to Kilmarnock's ground, hilarious watching all the green and white fuclers glumly streaming out. Just as funny before the game when the clueless gypsies, without a smidgeon of irony, were singing "there's only one Keano"

What a great debut for him. Still 10 points behind a selling club that are crippled in debt, just shows you the standard of that league. Should be just right for Keane.
