Can you think of a team who can afford to do without a 51-goal strikeforce ?

Question

Seriously, lets get real here. Celtic will sorely miss their first-choice strikeforce. Maybe one of the two, but both ? Nah.

Maloney is not a striker and should not be considered ready, having hardly kicked a ball over the last year or two. He had a good game on Saturday but this is an old firm game. Samaras was allowed to leave a club who outbid AC Milan for Ronaldinho for coppers, Man City. They don't need money and could have held onto him and got twice the dosh from any number of cash rich English teams. I think they wanted rid of him as soon as possible. As for Killen getting on V Falkirk, I think that demostrates the severe limitations available to Strachan up front.

I would Killen getting on to Gow doing likewise for Rangers. Both players have been frozen out the first team picture, ask yourself why.

So my friends I have came to the conclusion that forecasts of Celtic winning, especially by the margins predicted by some, are a mixture of blind faith, and ambtion being confused with capability.

Or are we saying that the strikers available are as good as those injured ?

Answer 1

Answer 4

well thats a bit like saying........what scottish club that claims to be one of the top in europe can afford to be left our,sorry put out of european football,with no revenue TV money can you seriously say that beating sellik this weekend will make up for that,or is that all the rangers fans crave for beating celtic,as for the strike force,samaras & malomey will be on the winning team,trust me ,im a football god,41 st in the predictor doesnt lie

Answer 5

They can always try to get Larsson back...

But this will never happen.....

Answer 6

There was once a 6 year gap between two times that you beat us at home, and it's only been once since - can see it i'm afraid, never mind no striker - "the cry was no defenders"

Answer 7

In all honesty neither have impressed me with their starts to the season (skippy or JVOH), I thought we looked much better at the weekend with Maloney and Samaras linking up well, there was better movement and vision, it really seemed to spark the whole team into trying new outlets, rather pumping it long or giving it McGeady.

So I am not worried in the slightest, in truth I have hardly even thought of it and will just watch on Sunday to see how it all unfolds. Who knows what will happen, all these people on here telepathic thought, who claim to know what the outcome is going to be on Sunday are just full of pish.

Just let the game go ahead, then we'll see what happens, rather than all this preemptive bullshite.
