I would say much of a muchness - I don't see either of them improving our squad significantly.
 
Yeah i'm not on the bandwagon of either to be honest. I'll get behind them and support them obviously if we sign them.

I know you're a Vargas fan Dave but he plays more as an attacking mid these days.

Yeah he's a beast powering down that wing. We also don't want to fall into the 'Doss trap' of signing a player who is only comfortable in a wing back role.

It will be interesting to see who we sign for LB this year.

Me three.
 
Scottish player of the year Emilio Izaguirre is said to be the subject of interest from French clubs Paris St-Germain and Bordeaux.

In an interview published by French website sport.fr, Izaguirre is quoted as saying that he is aware of interest from several clubs, including PSG and Bordeaux and that although he is happy at Celtic, the prospect of playing in Ligue 1 is “an interesting challenge”.

“I know that observers from the PSG and Bordeaux came to see me several times,” Izaguirre is quoted as saying.

“I know that Ligue 1 is a top level championship. To come and play in the championship of France could be a very interesting challenge.”

The left-back reflected on his first season in Scotland, saying how much he had enjoyed the experience and thanking Celtic for handing him an opportunity. He added: I feel I have come a long way since my arrival here. The staff is very good and my teammates really helped me settle quickly.”

However, the Honduran said that he was aware that he had raised his profile and was being monitored by other clubs.

“English clubs, Spanish, German, Portuguese and French among others came to see my matches with Celtic,” he revealed. “Despite the talk, I'm not yet decided on my future.

“I can stay at Celtic, or leave, the final decision would have to please everyone. I know that clubs like Liverpool and Villarreal are interested, I'm flattered to be observed by the clubs of this size.”

Izaguirre joined Celtic from Honduran club Motagua last summer and is under contract at Parkhead until the summer of 2014. At the end of the SPL season he travelled back to Honduras to join his national team for the Gold Cup but a torn tendon ruled him out of the competition. Celtic have allowed him to remain in his homeland to receive treatment on the injury but he is expected to return for the beginning of the new season.
 
Celtic full-back Emilio Izaguirre claims he Manchester United are interested in signing him and that Sir Alex Ferguson has previously been in touch with the club.

Izaguirre only joined the SPL team last summer and impressed in his debut season which culminated in the Honduras international winning the player of the year awards.

He has also been linked with Liverpool recently and admitted he was 'flattered' by the interest coming from Anfield.

He has now stated that the 18 times Premier champions made contact about a transfer in January before Patrice Evra re-signed with United.

"I am aware that Manchester United and Celtic agreed for a meeting in July," Izaguirre said. "We have to see what happens if I stay or I go.

"I have to confirm it's 100% true that Manchester United were following me and were interested in me in January.

"It was Alex Ferguson directly who made contact with the Celtic directors.

"I think it was the time when they didn't close the negotiations with Patrice Evra.
As far as I am aware Celtic refused to sell me as we were concentrating on the league.

"Regarding possibilities, I prefer to stay silent as I did when Celtic signed me. This is a job of my agent.

"If I have the chance I welcome the move with open arms. If that is the case I will thank God and I will take my opportunity."
 
Watched that Celtic game today. It was Kieron fucking Dire.

Nice goal from Stokes to win it, but really it highlighted how far Scottish football is behind everything else.
 
Stoke's father was in the papers back home recently I think. Something to do with his pub again.
