NEW CELTIC XI?
Goalkeeper: Lukasz Zaluska.
Artur Boruc, in my opinion, has been the best Celtic goalkeeper in living memory.
However, if one of our top stars has to be sold I’d sacrifice Artur over Brown or McGeady. Borucs form was erratic last term and it may be time to sell, whilst he can still command a decent price, which would be around the £5m mark.
That money could go towards a quality central defender, to replace Stephen McManus, who is not up to the task. Lukasz Zaluska proved himself a very able keeper for Dundee United last season, and would be a quality replacement.
Celtic should also have the highly rated American Dominic Cervi tied up by the end of the summer, the youngster having been granted an Italian passport, so this should also see current no.2 Mark Brown off to pastures new.
Left back: Sylvinho (Unattached, free)
Although he’s 35, Sylvinho would be joining a young team and his experience—twice a European Cup winner with Barcelona—would bring much needed stability to the new regime.
In Januray, Sylvinho’s agent expressed the players desire to come to Celtic Park.
If that’s still the case, we should make our move as soon as Mowbray is in place.
Central Defence: Gary Caldwell—captain
After a rocky start in Glasgow, Caldwell has proved himself to be a fine defender, and not only that, but of captain material. He’s a commanding centre half, was the lynchpin of Mowbray’s Hibs side, and should be given the captains armband from Stephen McManus.
Central Defence: Carlos Cuellar (Aston Villa, £5m)
