4 1/2 years seems a gamble

***Steve20*** · 13-01-2010 01:34 PM

Anyone know what odds I can get on Wigan going down?

their defence is bad enough is it not? haha

***Cool_Hand_Luke*** · 13-01-2010 01:41 PM

Gary Caldwells move to Wigan looked to be in doubt due to the bad weather conditions...until 40,000 Celtic fans turned up at Glasgow Airport to help clear the runway...

Clearly resigned to the drop and preparing already for life in the Championship! In fact by giving Ronald McCaldwell a 4 and a half year deal, they're possibly preparing for life in League 1 the season after next!

Celtic to win the league / Wigan relegated double ????

Get on !!!!!

**PeterboroHibee** · 13-01-2010 02:20 PM

Unbelievable, I was shocked that he was getting looked at by a Championship club (okay Strachans in charge but still), but to be signed by Wigan!

As opposed to him being pish?!?

How will Celtics defence fare now?

***blackpoolhibs*** · 13-01-2010 02:52 PM

Titus Bramble and Gary Caldwell, the dream team.

Better probably. He's no loss. Incredible that a player of his 'quality' is earning £100,000 a month BASIC.

**down-the-slope** · 13-01-2010 02:54 PM

Hes won the lottery.....4 1/2 year deal

Glad Celtic get nowt...thats what they deserve

Without doubt two of the worst defenders ive seen in the flesh, probably both millionnaires. Football has gone totally mad

***J-C*** · 13-01-2010 03:04 PM

It amazes me how a player of Caldwell's pretty limited talent keeps getting these deals at decent clubs, is the players agent sitting holding a gun to the managers head when they sign.

My thoughts exactly. Pidgeon Chest and Lego man at the back.

**Ell_Chrisso** · 13-01-2010 03:42 PM

Might just be me, but i actually think Caldwell is a decent player.

Obviously Wigan do also to take him down South. You might be slagging off Bramble, but he's actually not had that bad a season, compared to some of his Newcastle days.

Id have Caldwell back in the Hibs defence. No probs.

Celtic lost there best CH.

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 13-01-2010 03:44 PM

Caddis is off to Swindon on Loan also, they must have people lined up?

Far too slow for the EPL, too small and probably his biggest fault is he's sheite. Yip, i have a feeling it might just be you.

To be fair though he's up against Loovens and McManus. My Granny would probably be the best CH at Celtc with those 2 as competition.

Lucky escape for Middlesbrough. Pretty nightmarish thinking how much further an already pretty frail Boro defence would have been weakened had Strachan succeeded in bringing that incompetent, arrogant tosspot to the Riverside.

***Bostonhibby*** · 13-01-2010 06:30 PM

Unbelievable really Wigan normally are pretty shrewd, maybe Caldwell thinks this will help his international chances

own goals, pointless ordering offs and other calamities aside............

deary me. See, some folk get dazzled by the money in the EPL but when it comes down to it, they're just paying the same pish players far more than they're due. I almost inhaled my sugar puffs the day i read calamity was looking for 20,000 a WEEK! I wouldn't give him that a year.

***Baldy Foghorn*** · 13-01-2010 06:38 PM

Caldwell is dreadful totally dreadful......

Still even worse was his interview at Wigan, when he said it was a wrench leaving the club he supported as a boy, and that Celtic had some of the best fans in the World............

***HibbyAndy*** · 13-01-2010 06:52 PM

Caldwell will do well at Wigan IMO.

Nowhere near as bad as some make out.
