Rich Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Only two new signings on display, no Owen, no Taylor, no Emre... it's not exactly a thrilling prospect anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when was Emre an exciting prospect anyway? I think we'll beat them comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Toon Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Something like this I reckon (assuming the rumours about Dyer are true): Harper Carr - Rozehnal - Ramage - N'Zogbia Solano Geremi Butt Martins Ameobi Milner F**king hell, we need to get some numbers in!!

Since when was Emre an exciting prospect anyway? I think we'll beat them comfortably. Emre's more exciting than watching Butt, Dyer, Geremi or Solano playing central midfield, shirley? Not about the result really, as we keep hearing. I was expecting more out of Big Sam's first home game, is all. Disappointed with Barton/Owen being crocked more than anything.

Geremi is more skillful and an all round better player than Emre IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The key being the "IMO" part, of course. From my own personal perspective, I'm not as excited for the Celtic game because he's missing... along with the others I mentioned. To get back to the subject of the thread: I'll say we'll get around 28,000 in for the game, that we'll draw 1-1 and that this team will start (hopefully): Given Carr Ramage Rozehnal N'Zogbia Solano Butt Geremi Dyer Ameobi Martins I'd also hope to see something of Luque and Milner during the second-half in a potential formation-switch along with Andy Carroll. Also, for those who keep using "----" in between players in formations, there is a "centre" option on posts as well (along from the B, I, U, S...) - to save you's some time.

midds Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Celtic always take any game against an English side very seriously. Doesn't seem to matter to them if it's pre-season or a testimonial, they'll be up for it. Considering we're nursing a few knocks, I wouldn't be too surprised if we actually lost this one.

Of cuse the IMO is key, otherwise I wouldn't have put it in. You'll struggle to find many people who rate Emre over Geremi. And the centre function makes the midfield look too narrow there Agreed I'd like to see Luque and Milner have a half of so though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Put more spaces in, then! I could only be arsed with the two in between each player I'm not arsed about finding people who rate Emre over Geremi, I never challenged you on that, it's your opinion. I merely stated I'd be happier seeing him play CM than Geremi (who I'd prefer to see at RB/RW personally given the current circumstances.) But if you're wanting to debate it, I'm not actually sure if I've seen enough of Geremi to make a decision either way on him and Emre, especially at central midfield. Would like to see how much he's actually played there for Chelsea/'Boro/Cameroon and even moreso at how many times you've seen him there with your own eyes to make the comparison between the two.

Nah, nee time for a debate, got to get my lunch in before Neighbours. Personally though, I'd want him in CM. The times I saw him when he was at Boro and Chelsea it quite easily looked his most effective position. Although i'm all up for experimenting, after all it is pre season and it's the only time in the next year we can "mix it up" risk free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 So how unavailables do we have atm? Taylor Viduka Owen Babayaro Barton Emre Duff Ramage, Ameobi and Given were all withdrawn from the Carlisle squad as a precaution IIRC, are they all right to play?

Rich Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ramage played against Carlisle, you maniac. You might be thinking of Milner, who felt a twinge in the warm-up? Those 7 you mention are definitely out and I suppose you could class the three above as "doubtful", along with Edgar, Dyer and Luque - for varying reasons.

spizz energi Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I could care less about the score so long as no-one else gets injured. Would be nice to see Krul get a start tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthnufc Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I think the score will be 1-1 , and the squad i think that will play is: Harper Carr --roz-- taylor -- zog Geremi --Sol--Dyer Ameobi -- Carrol martins ------- Bench -------- Krul edgar hunty luque baba butt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Could easily be more jocks than geordies out for this one. Personally, i dont bother with friendlies very often, unless there's some new player making his bow. Sorry but Geremi and Rozehnal arent going to make me part with an extra £15.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I think they'll do us over. We should have, in theory, given Carlisle a hiding, which we didn't. This suggests to me that the squad is still a way off full fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ring up you'll get seats together no problem. If you turn up on the day you should be ok all getting seats, not sureif they'll all be together, but you could probaly move to a quieter sction to sort it.

Karjala Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 no way it will be sold out, so by turning up on the night im sure you could get 10 seats together somewhere in the ground! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
