the reality of the situation is WE don't NEED SKRTEL. If we get the Swede we are well covered now, and two things spring to mind, 1. we can't afford Skrtel 2. previous senior citizens in central defence have ALL been a bad idea. I just hope we are not having second thoughts about Helander because of this Skrtel talk, Helander is an international with 10 caps already for Sweden, he is 26, the ideal age, so what's causing the delay? get it over the line and tell Skrtel no thanks.

Previous senior citizens in central defence have ALL been a bad idea? Eh think your forgetting davie weir mate.

Patients, skrtel himself said yesterday there was interest but that's all it was. The swede has agreed terms and a fee has been agreed, u ever think that maybe there might be a delay what with it been a busy travel day yesterday with been the 12th, its possible there was a hold up of some sort and the player will maybe just announced at the game the morra.
We ain't celtic fans we don't panic like this over a small delay. SG clearly wanted this helander if u listen to his interview. "we had an eye on someone it slowed down but has gathered pace in last 48hr If it continues at same pace we Hope to have it done by end of week" if we wanted skrtel then when helander looked dead we would have made a move but didn't. Pretty much self explained if u read the gaffers interview regarding it.
Ritchie, I can only assume your Mrs kicked you outta bed early this morn to make you jump on here with a comment like that.

Mr grumpy, wage has absolutely nothing to do with my point. OP said all were a bad idea and I felt that was wrong as weir was a "senior citizen" when he came and was superb. doesn't matter if weir was on a tenner a week and skrtel wants £100k.

yes weir was great, the point I was trying to make was Weir was relatively low risk compared to some of the 'veterans' we've signed/ linked with.
