Well Douglas, I hate to say it, is not good enough.
He's a great guy and I feel sorry for him, but I we
need a world class goal keeper. We need a keeper that
will make saves like Marshall did against Barcelona,
but every week. Marshall has played well, but he has
still made a few silly mistakes in every other game.
I don't know how many times he has kicked the ball
straight out of the park. IMO, he is better than
Douglas, but I would like to see Celtic bring in
another keeper.

As for Robbie Keane, I don't think he's good enough.
I believe there are far better players out there, and
some which may cost a lot less. I don't like Riordan
(or however you spell it) but I believe he'd be a
better player than Keane, and I definately don't want
to see Riordan come to Celtic.

I would like to see both Amoroso and Rivaldo in the
Green and White Hoops, but I seriously doubt them
both. Martin O'Neil was not overly impressed with
Amoroso, but then again he is aware that he is still
unfit, hence why he has asked him to come and join
Celtic on their American tour. I think he may be
playing him down, until he is aware of his budget, as
in spending money and wages available.

He will be spending more on wages, after the Cup Final
Match, where he will be signing up Bobo on a 4 year
extension on much higher wages, and I'm glad, as he is
worth it. He is on of the most valuable players at
Celtic. Likewise, he will be trying to sign up Neil
Lennon on a longer contract, John Kennedy (which I
think he should may wait till we know whether he is
going to play again) Hartson, and also Ross Wallace.

My only concern is, if Mr O'Neil is not given the
wages he requires, then he may tell them where to
stick it. He cannot built a Champions League winning
side, a UEFA cup winning side, or even possibly a
League winning side, unless he is given sufficient
funds. We need a striker definately, and there are a
few other positions that need strengthening. Fingers
crossed though, that the board will provide Mr O'Neil
with the cash, and we can go on to make an even bigger
impact on Europe, which we all know is plausible!!!

Mon The Hoops!!!!!!
