For Celtic fans, this is an easy task. Celtic are currently carrying a lot of dead wood in their squad and freeing some room on the roster and the wage bill would certainly prove beneficial to the club for a number of reasons. So who would I like to use the Celtic Park exit door?
First up is Glenn Loovens. Loovens turned up at Parkhead from Cardiff on 16 August 2008, joining the Scottish champions Celtic on a four-year contract for a fee of around £2.5 million. Since the Dutch defender’s arrival he has failed to prove that he can be a key figure at the heart of the Celtic back four. Loovens’ form has slowly but surely been sapped in the last couple of years and it has come to the point where I cannot see the player returning to any kind of form that would see him becoming a mainstay at centre half. Moreover, Celtic’s first choice centre half Daniel Majstorović does not at all complement his Dutch counterpart, thus proving detrimental to the success of Loovens.
Next up is Charlie Mulgrew. I feel for Mulgrew, being a Celtic fan, who has already had a less than impressive spell at the club. He must have thought his luck was in when Neil Lennon went back for the left back last summer. For me, this was simply a panic buy as Lennon needed someone to fill the void on the left side of defence. I’ve seen Mulgrew play a few times this season and I have been thoroughly disappointed. Against Braga, he was clueless and at fault for the goal that ruined any chance of the team progressing in the Champions League.
Finally, I feel that Samaras should ply his trade elsewhere as soon as possible. The lanky Greek has never consistently found the net, disappointing considering he is playing in the SPL. Samaras had a very decent spell in Holland and when he joined Celtic I thought the former Manchester City man would once again find the form that he had lost while in Manchester. Although causing problems for some of the better defences, I would like to see the sale of Samaras as it would surely balance the Celtic books, thus releasing some funds for someone else to have a go at Parkhead.
So what do you think?
