()That would mean the only thing for Lennon to do before the window closes is find someone to provide cover at left-back until Emilio Izaguirre returns from injury with Dundee United's Paul Dixon being mentioned as a young player the club could look to develop further after impressing. A Parkhead source revealed: "The manager always believes he was short of quality in attack and feels that has been the case in certain games this season. He wanted two strikers and another central defender but he will have to sacrifice the defender if he wants someone to provide cover at left-back." I wonder how much they might offer.

I imagine we'd take not much more than half that.

I imagine we'd take not much more than half that. Wow, we were planning on letting his contract run down? His form over the last year or so hasn't seemed to hit the heights of his first season (his Conway partnership was lovely), though still got that devastating cross on him and is still a good left back. Like Chips, I reckon we'd take anything over about 400k, so assume Celtic's first bid to be about 175k. Assuming they're even interested Edited by findus, Aug 30 2011, 03:11 PM.

Next year look forward to Pernis, Swanson, Robertson (the good one), Dixon and Scott Allan taking the Gomis/Buaben/Conway so-long-and-thanks-for-all-fish option. Apparently only Irish journeymen and now extending contracts.

lum raker Posts: 3,201 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: September 16, 2010	Seems he's not a full-back but a right-sided midfielder. So, who would we entertain bids for besides Dixon? Edited by reekie, Aug 30 2011, 06:19 PM.

Given we've Dixon, Douglas, Watson, dillon, I guess something might be happening... Keanu Marsh-Brown. Quick, apparently, as you'd expect of one of them blacks. So who's going to be first to say "feeder club"? I am, it appears. Perhaps we could get a loan of that shite statue of Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage. ETA. Quoth the baldy Alf Stewart impressionist: Quote: He is a midfielder who can also do us a turn in defence if required. EATA. Actually, am I far too late to this? Only just realised ... I'm late, right? Tell me I'm late. Edited by Naebody, Aug 30 2011, 06:40 PM.

Back to the main topic though anyone see Ray Meagher (alf stewart) in prisoner cell block H, he was a right evil bugger . Edited by Clarkie, Aug 30 2011, 07:08 PM.
