see if we kept virgil I would want another striker but tbh I think what we have now is what we will have going forward.

that said, if we sell virg we NEED another cb, and I would like to see that money reinvested.

as it stands we have made money in this window, so we are doing ok.

it's not impossible to draw both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid

... ...... ...... ......

Not sure how I'd feel about that!

Going along to the game tonight so hoping to see some good signs of match sharpness against a decent La Liga outfit Hopefully Janko and Ciftci are both able to get game time, however I reckon Griffiths will be starting

Keny, this is what we will have, and IF we do qualify for the Group Stage we'll likely be scrambling trying to get two or three signings in within the last few days. The usual.

paddy

I want the easiest draw possible, I want to get through the groups

Also I'm for the Ciftci signing, but giving him the number seven shirt?

the mess with guidetti last year done my head in tbh.

leaving it that late, he ended up not being able to play in Europe.

It's also how we ended up with Pukki.

Marcelino - Just remember we gave it to Miku last time

Keny we're bound to get one top team though... fckin better not be Barcelona again

We've given ourselves a far better chance of qualifying for the group stages and a £20m jackpot. No globe trotting, a settled squad, transfer business done early are all positives.

Looking at the qualifying teams, there's nothing massively worrying there- but we've lost to much worse teams in the past. You genuinely never know.

We are likely to hit a big team- because even pot two has clubs like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, probably Manchester United too.

Anyone know why we're at home in the first game?

Pots 1 & 2 as it stands:

Seeding pot 1 (by association rank)
Barcelona CC: 164.999
Chelsea CC: 142.078
Bayern Munich CC: 154.883
Italy Juventus CC: 95.102
Benfica CC: 118.276
Paris Saint-Germain CC: 100.483
Zenit Saint Petersburg CC: 90.099
PSV Eindhoven CC: 58.195

Seeding pot 2
Real Madrid CC: 171.999
Atlético Madrid CC: 120.999
Porto CC: 111.276
Arsenal CC: 110.078
Manchester City CC: 87.078

"We are likely to hit a big team- because even pot two has clubs like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, probably Manchester United too. "

Let's just fookin get there first. Three ties to negotiate at this stage of the season and anything can happen.

See the Sheep are doing their bit for the coefficient....

i'm fed up playing barca and Milan btw

Real Madrid is like the only European giant we haven't came up against in recent times.

Izzy I hope they can qualify. Long LONG shot but hope they can do it.

Posted this on another article but Tommy Wright got shut up http://sabotagetimes.com/football/twitter-reacts-as-tommy-wright-row-with-celtic-takes-new-twist

Keny - Exactly. Defo no Milan this year if we make it at least Always wanted Madrid though

Agree, Izzy.

On paper it looks relatively straight-forward, never is with Celtic.

The season becomes so exciting if you're just in that Group Stage draw however.

tbh I think we will end up in Europa league again

i'd be ok with that tho if that's our level.

plus the fans will save money because they wont go unless its the champs league

GFITW and that know

I am fairly happy with the squad but feel we could do with another attacking midfielder

Seriously though a bleedin left back please

Or do we think Tierney is the answer?

Regarding the group stages, if we get there I would rather two glamour clubs. We are unlikely to qualify anyway so why not have a couple of European giant grace our stadium?

The fourth team are likely to be relatively equal to us to the 3rd place Europa spot would still be achievable

Real Madrid is like the only European giant we haven't came up against in recent times.
