    Did you watch them last season? If you want to compare the price tag to Ronaldos then I'd be looking at 20 - 25 for them

    I'd be looking for them to pay ME.

    Getting with the status quo is what I call it.

    I would blame Strachan and not the Celtic board for not investing money on problem positions (left-back for example) but that was his decision.
    This is where I ask you to provide sources.
    I've actually nae idea myself, but I've no idea how much Strachan was given and how much he used.

    In terms of Scottish Football... it's never gonna be attractive unless football training on a grass roots level is revolutionized. We need to take examples from countries such as the Dutch.
    Who's league is about as good as the SPL.
    I'm thinking we need to not be in Scotland to change the culture here.

    Aye. His contract ran out some daft time like October, so we paid a 'token sum' to get him in the summer.

    If I had enough money to waste, I'd be tempted to buy the club and run it into the ground. Because I fucking hate Geordies.

    Strachan's problem was not lack of funds.
    Let's just kill that one right now.

    The Dutch League is superior to the SPL.

    4 good teams. Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord and AZ.
    Look at their national side...

    The Dutch league isn't what it used to be. I feel Rangers and Celtic could beat all those 4 teams you mentioned.

    And because Holland are a good team it doesn't mean the Dutch league is, as most of Holland's players, play abroad. Or for Real Madrid. They have about 5/6 Dutch players who always play for the national team.

    There was a team Dutch teams were feared. Not anymore. Their league has went down the pan. Sure they might wap out decent young players but they all learn to hone their talent outside of Holland, in Spain/England.

    Every decent Dutch club is basically the Hibs model: get 3 or 4 years out of the prospects before punting them for a tidy sum. the rest are same as SPL: damaged goods, journeymen and kids.

    I wouldn't say AZ are amazing. The reason they are winning the league is because they are a well run club and the traditional "big three" have fucked up. It's like saying if Rangers and Celtic have a howler of a season next year and Dundee United win the league then the SPL has improved because the big two teams have got worse.

    Similar calibre.
    Get's similar co-efficient as Scottish teams in the CL.

    I watch the Dutch League on Setanta occasionally and the standard is awful, no better than your average SPL match.

    You also have to look at where the majority of the players in their nationalside play football....it certainly isn't in the dutch leagues.
