good to see the back of Jarosik – hasnt done much at Celtic and was lazy – great to see hutchison join us now rather than in the summer and good deal with robson may have paid a bit over the odds for him but good deal at any rate – hopefully he can take his united form to celtic also.
so rangers lose out to a serie b side in the pursuit of a striker that was reportedly £7 million worth – and they sign steven davis on loan for rest of season??? another midfielder which they don’t need – ah well we shall see how good all the latest old firm signings are over the next few months.
Overall I think celtic got the best of the bunch. Hinkel, Mizuno, Hutchison, Samaras and Robson. Compared to Dailly, Alexander (who will probably never get a game for rangers) and Davis. Plus celtic have sold a bit part player in the guise of Jarosik while Rangers have sold two main players in Cousins (not guaranteed yet) and more importantly star performer Hutton.
