I've certainly changed the minds of a few Celtic fans. :)

I agree most people are fools, they rarely look at facts and rely on journalists to form their opinion.

EB it looks like you might get your wish. Strachen has been quoted in a few of the Sunday papers saying he wants to make Keane his first signing.
He signed him at coventry and had nothing but praise for him when he left for Milan so there might be some truth to it.
Pity Larsson is not still there to pass on some tips on awareness and finishing.
Wouldn't be a bad move though. There's also been reports that Newcastle want Kanute, Keane and Owen.

Are you serious? They have the sufficient co-efficient to be seeded for both qualifying rounds and be a 2nd seed in the group phase. While some of the non-seeds are tough in the 3rd qualifying round you would assume at this stage there is more of a chance they will qualify than not.

Incidentally I believe Keane scored for Ireland against Celtic.

Excuse me? Mind your manners. I know this for a pure fact. If you bothered to look up the co-efficients and understand them you wouldn't make a post like that.

Over the last 5 years from which the co-efficient is drawn Celtic have beaten Bordeaux, Ajax, Juventus, Porto, Rosenborg, Blackburn, Celta Vigo, Stuttgart, Liverpool, Boavista, Lyon, Anderlecht, Barcelona, Shaktar and drawn another two times with Barca and drawn with AC Milan, drawn with Bayern Munich as well as having won a few other games against minnows. One of these seasons included a run to the UEFA Final, another to the quarter final, plus qualification for the CL 3 times. They don't make these things up.

Co-efficients don't deal with opinions or circumstances. They deal with facts and results. However two seasons ago Celtic very narrowly lost out on qualifying for the 2nd round of the CL and reached the UEFA quarter finals knocking out Barca along the way. Last year was pretty poor however Celtic did only lose to Barca and Milan with late goals and could have beaten Milan at home. Things have gotten a bit stale at Celtic but a new manager has come and no one knows how much funds are available to him yet.

The last quote was a bit mischievous , hinting that he thinks Strachan is better than Jol. What he actually said was something like "I said years ago that Gordon was the best manager I played for" i.e., before he played for Jol.

Still, I'd forgotten he'd played under Strachan before & this adds credibility to the suggestion Robbie could be at Celtic soon, esp. as he only has one year remaining.
