A weird signing but its only a 3 month deal and if it means Keane doesn't play centre half it'll do for me.

**gustavo** · 30/01/2006, 9:26 PM

i can only assume they signed him so roy doesnt feel so old

Hardly a weird signing by any means. Experienced and versatile. Tried and tested under Strachan (so was Telfer, yeah, yeah, I know). A short term deal, why not?

**gustavo** · 30/01/2006, 9:34 PM

i suppose so but dont celtic already have hartson zurawksi maloney and beattie up front and are they really that stuck that they will play in defence a man in his mid thirties who has only played a small percentage of his career at the back

**Poor Student** · 30/01/2006, 9:41 PM

Beattie is injured for a while. He's had bad injury problems. Maloney makes a far better midfielder than he does a striker. Zurawski is in fine form at the moment though and Hartson is doing ok. For all we know it's the back line Dublin could be brought in to strengthen.

Dublin has been playing centre half all season for Leicester. I doubt he'll get much action at Celtic and we'll forget he ever played for them before too long. Just like Henchoz.

**drinkfeckarse** · 31/01/2006, 9:25 AM

Dublins been in and out of the Leicester team I thought?

**Hibs4Ever** · 31/01/2006, 10:07 AM

Whats his current record, 6 goals in fifty odd matches

What's Cannavaro's? 1 goal in 100 games?

Dion Dublin is a STRIKER, just because he's been played in defence a few times by his old club doesn't mean anything

I could be wrong but I though Dublin played a lot more times as a centre half for Leicester than he did centre forward. His goalscoring ratio doesn't matter anyway, he's not at Celtic for his goals.

So he's there for his defensive ability

How can you honestly defend this signing? A Scottish friend of mine, who's a season ticket holder at Celtic, rang me last night going MAD about this. It just doesn't make sense, espescially with the Hun trying to steal Riordan off us for 250,000 (2 bids turned down at present, bring on midnight

)

Celtic have announced on Scottish radio they've bid a million for Hibs midfielder Keven Thompson (along with Scott Brown probably the best player we have)

hehe.

I think its just a rumour made up on KDS about 30 minutes ago.

How can you honestly defend this signing?

Because its a choice between him or nobody until the summer.

**stickyjoe** · 31/01/2006, 2:07 PM

according to stachan on the radio there will be no more signings before the deadline

I'd take him alright, very classy looking.
