What the hell were Celtic thinking in getting rid of Tony Watt and getting in Leigh Griffiths?!
The latter looked weak even in League one1 -
Scoring goals though. The SPL is such a poor standard these days. Even worse than it usually is.cafcnick1992 said:What the hell were Celtic thinking in getting rid of Tony Watt and getting in Leigh Griffiths?!

Too much time on my hands today…

Celtic fan here. Thought you guys would appreciate a bit of insight from our perspective.
Firstly, I have to say, he divided opinion in our support. However, that had nothing to do with his ability. Some felt he was a disruptive force in the dressing room and therefore not worth keeping. I don't agree with that since we have other players like Griffiths and Stokes who have caused far more problems than Watt ever did.
The reason, I believe, we let him go is because Liege were willing to pay £1.2m for a player that cost us £80k and wasn't even a guaranteed starter. The board saw profit and jumped. Our new manager had only been in the door 5mins and from what I've heard the deal was pretty much wrapped up before he was even appointed. No way would Ronny Deila have let go of him. We certainly did not let him go for footballing reasons.
Personally, I was convinced, as were many others, that Watt would be our main striker this year. He is supremely talented. We were creaming ourselves long before he scored against Barcelona. E.g 2 goals on his debut (from the bench), 2 goals on his first start etc.
Watt is the most well rounded centre forward Scotland have had for years. And considering his "attitude" problems seem to be fixed, I am extremely gutted we let him go.
Our loss is your gain. Enjoy. You have an incredible talent on your hands.34 -

We have. A double header in about a fortnight, but I very much doubt he'll be picked for that.The Red Robin said:

Saying that, Leigh Griffiths is probably our only other in-form striker at the minute. (Steven Naismith plays in the hole)
Gordon Strachan doesn't seem to like Jordan Rhodes or Ross McCormack, even when they are scoring, so if Watt keeps it up till the end of the season I would expect him to be called up against Ireland in June.1 -
What is with Tony and his damn attitude problem??? Will he ever stop causing trouble?
Bit of banter with Morgan Fox as well...5 -
Iain Dowie should have taken all his photos like thatCallumcafc said:What is with Tony and his damn attitude problem??? Will he ever stop causing trouble?
