# you're welcome :)
good work getting mogga for manager btw - as a boro fan i was rather hoping he'd come save us from southgate before moving on to bigger and better things...

# meh...I like him, but I just don't think he's the right guy for the job
from what I've heard he might be bringing Paul Robinson, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Borja Valero with him

I guess we'll have to wait and see, hopefully he's not as bad as I think he is

# fair point :)
it'll be interesting to see what he does with a bit more cash. i like his style of football: subtley different from the way he used to play :)

# did you see my post on valero the other day?
slow, can't tackle, poor shooting (failed to score all season). can pass a ball if given time and space. it was the lack of tackling that really irked me, he was a total passenger most of the time and once the opposition's midfield were past him that was it.
Fortune is OK as a lump to hold up the ball, not an out-and-out goalscorer.
Robinson, not as good as he thinks he is. All of them will be fine against the bottom half of the SPL just not good enough for a club of Celtic's size/ambition.

edit/ fair point on the shit team, he had no holding midfielder to help out. Mowbray apparently believes that a back 4 + 6 outfield players who can't tackle is OK.
