After watching his fourth January signing get a 12 min run out in the win over Dundee United Ange Postecoglou isn’t sure if he’ll get any more deals over the line before Tuesday’s midnight deadline.
The hoops boss appears to be in complete control of his side’s transfer activities and relaxed about the likely departure of Giorgos Giakoumakis.
In his fourth window Postecoglou has reinforced his stamp on the squad with Alastair Johnston fitting in perfectly at right-back while Oh Hyeon-gyu made a favourable impression replacing Kyogo Furuhashi for the closing stages of today’s 2-0 win.
Many managers have an anxious couple of days in store before the window closes- hoping that their club can deliver on expectations with last minute arrivals.
Postecoglou enjoys tracking the media speculation with the Daily Record picking up on a joke about communication issues inside Celtic when the situation over Giakoumakis was raised:
It’s still sort of in the balance. There are only two days to go and Michael Nicholson’s not taking my calls any more so I’m not really sure what’s going on in the background. I assume everything will be resolved in the next couple of days one way or another. As it stands right now nothing is definite in terms of his next move.
There could be a few fringe players on the move out of Celtic before Wednesday but it is unlikely to cause the manager any stress.
I see the PONCE across the water is crying his eyes out about the decisions sevco keep getting.
We all know this ourselves and we are limited to what we can do other than BOYCOTT the games home and away but I keep getting shot down in flames for calling for this.
But the PONCE does have more sway on this with him forever reminding us that he is a journalist so he could use that press pass as his privilege to shine a light on the CHEATING in Scottish football.
But instead of doing this he is still dining out on his story and exclusive on the old Rangers funeral and heading towards the graveyard.
As the advert goes I’m luvin it when it comes to the CHEATING in our game,lol the decisions get more BIZARRE every game or every week.
Next week I’m going for a record time in when a player will get red carded against sevco and a penalty awarded to sevco,I reckon all of this inside the first 10 minutes.
Try putting that bet at Wullie Hills or even on a bet builder,you won’t get any takers,though if you can get evens money on it GRAB IT.
It’s not even a shadowy conspiracy, It is all done completely in the open. I would like to see the stat for penalties awarded to Sevco when the scores are tied or they are behind.
If Scotland wants to be taken seriously referees in charge of Celtic or Sevco games should be a foreigner. Seeing a ref partying in a Hun pub after officiating a derby game is Banana Republic level.
