Thread: Time to sell Boruc?

Id rather get rid of the likes of Brown and Mcgeady before i got rid of big Artur tbh.

I agree Zaluska does look like a good keeper to have in his place if it does happen mind you.

Depends how much we would get for him.

No chance.

I'd rather sell overrated shite like Brown and McDonald and rake in just as much as we'd get for Boruc.

wouldn't put the house on zaluska just yet, i never trust stand in goal keepers,

Ben foster played his 1st few games as a van der sar replacement now he's been shown to be CACK

same with Radek Cerny at spurs and stokes goalie yesterday was amazing but i doubt it will last.

wouldn't make much anyway would we? goalies fetch like 10mill at most?

No.

Not unless there was an absolutely huge offer, £20m+.

I just wouldn't trust the board to reinvest even a fraction of the fee received back into the team. We must hold on to our best players (particularly Boruc who is genuine world class) and not continue playing this financial game that we have been playing recently, to the detriment of what happens on the pitch.

Not a chance, the Holy Goalie must stay.

I reckon we could get an inflated fee for Brown so he has to go.

hell no? sell the shite that cant hack it and not our best! whats the point doesnt make sense that.

no way!

No.

We are somewhat blessed in that we actually have some sellable assets, but even more blessed, one of them has absolutely no talent whatsoever, Scott Brown.

So it’s a win/win situation for us on that one.

He should be the one sold if we need to generate funds for incoming transfers.

Realistically we have three players of any great value, McGeady, Boruc and Brown. TM will probably want to keep Brown because he already has a relationship built up at Hibs with him, plus his value is pretty low at the moment. Who do you think Mowbray would choose to sell between McGeady and Boruc? I'm pretty sure he'd go for Boruc, as it is more important to strengthen the outfield positions.

Much as we all love Artur he was pretty poor last season by his standards and still doesn't seem back to his best to me.

A lot of the big teams down south will be looking for new keepers soon. If we could get something anywhere near 8m i'd take it immediately. I've seen enough of Zaluska at Dundee Utd to know that having him in the team instead of Artur is not going to hurt us that much, and the team overall would be strengthened a great deal by allowing Mowbray to have that money to spend on a couple of new strikers and a centreback.

If we did sell him though mate then how much of that money do you actually think the board will give TM to buy in fresh players? Not a hell of a lot would be my guess.

You'd accept just £8m for Boruc?! Didn't Hearts get like £9m for Gordon, and Boruc is a much superior keeper. And do you honestly think the money would be reinvested back into the team? I don't. I also think Artur really is back to his best and has been for a while now, since putting his personal problems of last year behind him and concentrating on his game. Nah mate, difinitely wouldn't go for that idea!

I would not accept anything under 12mill for him, although i think his worth a lot more no team will offer mega bucks tbh

To an extent I agree.

Artur is a WC keeper, but regardless of how fantastic he is… His influence on the game is much more limited than that of an outfield player. So in that respect I think his loss would perhaps not be felt as such as a WC striker, like Henrik.

Let’s be honest here…. there is something seriously wrong when the GK is the best player at the club.

For me Boruc is the only one who has performed consistently well during his career with Celtic. He is Celtic class. Something we have been starved of, as of late.

His detractors will look to season 2008/2009 as a basis of contrary argument… But, the three seasons previous to that he was invariably outstanding. Again, I reiterate, not just in seasonal spells, but throughout the season in its entirety.

Whilst I most certainly do not want to lose him. I feel a GK is more replaceable.

Fine, if Spurs decide to come in with a 10m bid for Brown then take it, but frankly i don't see that happening unless he really ups his performance rates.

If i was Mowbray and i knew i had Zaluska in reserve and yet our strikers can't score, midfielders can't pass and defenders can't head the ball i think it would be a fairly straightforard decision to make.

I can see where you're coming from mate but like i said, i would rather get rid of brown or mcgeady before artur and also, who would we have for back up to zaluska? The young lad cervi? Or bring that numpty brown back?
