New Year, New Window, New Players?

"The Season Of Shit" 

Happy New Year.

You woke up on New Years Day and the world was the same. Nothing changes but, somehow, when you go to sleep on Hogmanay you reckon the world will be a better place. You wake up and find that yer hut still has that bit of felt missing, you still need to cook a Steak Pie and yer car husnae been replaced wie a nice new one, that disnny need to visit the scrap yard in the sky.

Then you have Celtic.

"There is not going to be a lot more money appearing from anywhere, that's for sure." said oor manager, raining on the 'We want to sign decent first team players' brigade. He also mentioned that The Big Cup money has been 'tucked away' in a cupboard and is being polished to pay of some debt.

We have completed deals. First up is Dundee Hibs goalie Lukasz Zaluksa. He has signed a pre-contract and is showing all the signs of a player that has trebled his wages and looking forward to sitting on the bench for a few seasons. See: Brown, Mark.

“It was a dream come true to sign for Celtic. That's something I've always wanted and it's an exciting time for me and my family as my wife's already begun looking for a house in Glasgow." said oor future benchwarmer, while flicking through a magizine eyeing up new Audi's.

Unless The Holy Goalie is for the off, his recent performances have caused his worth to plummet like a drunk after 24 snakebites and make him no longer the goalie of choice for clubs looking, plus he husnae got a Euro 2008 this summer to raise his bar again, then Zaluksa could end up playing 2nd fiddle for a few seasons.

The question is. Will he give The Holy Goalie mair competition or is this just a ploy to keep hold of the Polish pound/euro when Artur leaves? Decent goalie. Then I said that aboot Mark Brown.  

Wie, Milan Misun and Niall McGinn already signed and boxed in the 'One For The Future' cupboard it it seems that we maybe we will be a bit thin on 1st teamers joining.

But, it disnny stop players making noises and getting oor hopes up. Semir Stilic has had his head turned by his Mr 15% and has made a come and get me plea:"I want to leave Lech Poznan. It is an honour for me that a great club like Celtic are interested.  I know Lech appreciate me and want me to stay. But, if Lech agree, I would like to move club now. I don't want to wait because I don't even know if Celtic would still want me in six months' time." he said, not grasping the idea that Celtic probably don't want him just now, nevermind in 6 months.
