The shape of the team

This seems an appopriate time to post a message about the shape Celtic are in, going into an important league game and about to commence the Champions League.

I'm disappointed in the transfers. And it looks like we're stuck with what we've got. I believe that the manager and the Board mis-judge the current team, that they think the players are better than they are. Of course, it suits the Board to think this. Celtic boards over the years have let down the fans. But I'm surprised that wee Gordon has given in so meekly to their restrictions. Maybe he's afraid to spend big money and be tested without the excuse of "we're only a wee diddy team".

There have be infamous cases over the years when the Board has not supported the team with hard cash. This is another. If £10-15M had been made available to purchase two or three quality players, today's game would be a formality and we could look forward to the CL games instead of watching them through our fingers. Instead we have the propect of watching Lee Naylor for another season.
