Glasgowmancity Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, it sure is. I just think that spending £5.6 million (assuming a 4 year deal on £20k/wk) on a player who's barely played any first team football in his career is a massive risk. He might be a cracking player, i genuinely do not know. I just think it's a very expensive risk. As I said above - you saw one of his best performances for City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, but at least it's a gamble, as opposed to throwing money down the drain giving players their final pay day.I have questioned the constant praise Celtic get for their recruitment. I do wonder if the 5 duds they sign for every good one really does balance the books? For every Gary hooper, there's a scepovic, Murphy or Bangura, for every Wanyama, there's a Rogic, Blackman or myoukolo....

Parklife Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 £12500 a week. I just made a guess. Your figures would still mean a £4.1 million gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Paul Quinn on his way from Ross County to the dandy Dons. Apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've heard this too. Not the most inspiring of signings. We'd be better with Dr Quinn, Medicine Women. I assume he will be defensive cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Assume Quinn is right sided? We need someone who can fill in at CB & RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Assume Quinn is right sided? We need someone who can fill in at CB & RB. Yeah, he's a right sided right back that can play centre half. Mark McGhee made him captain at motherwell after Phil O'donnell died and I believe he was captain at Ross county too. Was a good player, bit mental off the park! There were loads of stories about him an Richie Foran when they were at motherwell. Might well have grown up a bit now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume he's calmed down a bit, being a footballer in his late 20s I'd be amazed if he hasn't got kids by now. He does appear to have been a bit of a boy! Couldn't find a link for the story about when he got mugged in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo87 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Motherwell sign former Celtic LB Joe Chalmers. Any Celtic or Falkirk fans know much about him? Looks like he's played at all the youth levels for Scotland so hopefully something there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well be a cracking signing but there's little to Base any assessment on as he's barely played.Is he really the defender that Celtic are pinning their Champions League hopes on?

Rossy Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Rumours from up north that Marley Watkins is about to go halfers on a removal truck with Graeme Shinnie. Interesting. Does Watkins not play the same sort of attacking midfield role as Pawlett and (in theory because we haven't see it yet) McLean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
