Redz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Aberdeen fans complaining about Celtic signing DU players when Aberdeen have just signed a St Mirren player is a bit rich. Oh dear. I think it's you that's missing the point mucker...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Zeppelin Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 And how many players have Celtic done that with compared to Aberdeen and over how many years? No idea, the thing is Aberdeen have just done whet Celtic have just done and in typical sheeponthetamb fashion are moping about something that doesn't actually affect them. I'm sure the St Mirren and ICT fans will join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's exactly the same thing. It isn't at all. Celtic's biggest obstacle to winning both cups is Dundee Utd. 2 of Utd's best attacking players now out of that equation. St Mirren are not due to play Aberdeen in either cup competition. Never mind only 6 months until you are pumped out of the CL by some Slovenian mob and you complain about the lack of competition in domestci football.

ShedTA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So Dundee Utd don't want to win the League Cup then It would appear not.there's rumours around that Thompson is looking to sell the club. This only adds fire to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Strangely, I agree with EK_Celt on this one. It's hard if you're an Arab, but if Celtic are paying what looks like top dollar for a relatively untested player, then I suppose you just have to grin and bear it. United will go out now and try and prise Allan away from Hibs tonight, and that'll piss off all Hibees. And so it'll go on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I couldn't give a monkey's about Celtic throwing their money about, that's the way of the world. I'm disgusted at United for selling two of our best players to the opposition when we have a cup final in a few weeks. Show some backbone, it's hardly an offer they can't refuse when they've already trousered six million in fees this year. I think Thompson is looking to sell up and move to Australia and is just liquidising some assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMS signed a pre contract and Celtic were interested in Armstrong long before DU won the semi final. St Mirren and ICT are in the same league as Aberdeen, Aberdeen signing their players is no different from Celtic signing DU players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose though Utd could have just said no unless its £3m. Surely nobody can argue that weaking direct opposition in such an obvious fashion is a good thing for our game. Different story if it happened in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If DU bring in Dixon and Allan, that must cheer them up a bit. I'm surprised Celtic haven't gone for Souttar. We could send Ambrose the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you're coming from, but tbh, if United get 2 million + for Armstrong and then buy Allan for 250K, then I think that's a great bit of business for them. Frankly, I think Celtic have paid far too much (just my opinion)....Aberdeen have got a far better deal in McLean for 275K than Celtic have in Armstrong for 2 million.

AberdeenAngus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £250,000 2nd bid for Scott Allan put in. Question for Utd fans - is Allan the style of player you need now? Is he not like Spittal and Telfer? I'd have thought you have lost pace and need need to replace that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narey1-0 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 A f'kcin disgrace of a decision by Stephen Thomson. He has undone all his own work and more importantly, his father's work. Greedy bstrd - there will be a backlash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan will be an interesting one if they get him. He did a 'Fyvie' on them so imagine a resigning will split the support and maybe the boardroom?

ShedTA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I am not angry at Celtic but I am raging at utd. Why say you want £2.5m and tell the fans you don't need to sell and then shaft them all at the last minute. That's our season f@cked with a final still to come. Very poor stuff. They could have easily got £2m in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could send Ambrose the other way. Not really. We've lost Robertson, Gauld, GMS and Armstrong in six months. You should take Souttar and Ciftci as well, seems we've no interest in being competitive. If I were Hibs I'd tell us to do one over Allan. We could've got him for nothing last summer.

You'd be raging if it was your team... but laughing when karma bites back. We sold our two best players just before the cup final. We can't do anything about them signing for whoever they want when they're out of contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
