Eds I heard that United have interest in Jose Gaya, any truth in there ed, United surely won't pay big money for another left back
{Ed007's Note - It was Chelsea, City and Real Madrid that were 'battling it out' for Gaya last week, by process of elimination eventually they need to mention Utd to attract readers and hits.}

Cheers ed
{Ed007's Note - No worries buddy, I really can't see why Utd would be remotely interested in him at that price when they already have Shaw and Tyler Blackett will come back next season as the best LB in the known universe. :)

A good move for him,will he get much game time up there do u think ed,if ye can ed can you send him back as. Young Denis irwin
{Ed007's Note - He got a bit of a fright when he made his debut against Aberdeen the other week I don't think he realised how fast the game is played up here and the physical side of it, up at Pittodrie is always a battle no matter the score but since then he seems to have settled in and is doing well.
I can't promise a young Irwin (could anyone?) but Blackett will definitely come back a better player. For the first time in a long while I'm excited about what's going on at Celtic, once you look past Neil Lennon's chest thumping style it really wasn't very good and went drastically downhill after we beat Barca but I'm enjoying watching Ronny Deila's work and looking forward to the future under him.
You guys all like talking about LVG and his philosophy, well if you can be ar$ed here's a cracking lecture Ronny Deila gave.

Very interesting, I think this guy will be around for years,
Just what good coaching and man management can do for a team of players, I think this guy could even manage balotelli.
{Ed007's Note - As you can imagine he's like a breath of fresh air in Scottish football, we've had a couple of ups and downs but we seem to be moving in the right direction and building a solid base that will hopefully help us for years to come. #UntilRonnyIWasNeverHappy

Bond is he playing left back or centre back?
{Ed007's Note - He's played in both positions so far but his main job is to compete with Izaguirre for the LB slot, we've got plenty of CBs already.}

Bond, will the position he plays for you guys be something agreed with Lvg. I am not sure his best position yet but if we see hI'm as a CB surely a season as a LB defeats the object of the loan.
I think he could have a good future and if LB is it having him and Shaw when he comes back would be great.
{Ed007's Note - The agreement will be more about game time and gaining experience than the position he plays in. Don't get me wrong if he gets the chanceto play as a CB and playing well he'll get a chance there but with us signing Boyata and Jozo Simunovic along with the other CBs we already have his chances in there will be limited.
The problem that we have is that Izaguirre is weak defensively, he's fantastic going forward which suits us in a lot of domestic matches where we're attacking the majority of the time but when we need a defensive minded LB we're left wanting and following Izaguirre's red card in Amsterdam in the 2-2 EL draw with Ajax Blackett will hopefully be playing in the EL for us against Fenerbahce on Thursday so he should be starting today to get him ready for that - the other option we have at LB is our Mr Utility Charlie Mulgrew and that's not even worth contemplating.}
