Fraser Forster and Van Dijk to sign this week if Celtic knocked out the champions league tonight.

Combined total of Â£18m is the fee set (Â£8m Forster and Â£10m Van Dijk)

This is to follow after Taider confirmed tomorrow (Thursday)

Let's hope so I will keep the faith but it's getting harder never faut I would say this but come on Poland

Taider confirmed already. Season long loan. Am I the only one wondering why another central midfielder?

3.) 06 Aug 2014
Clearly false information as Taider has been confirmed already!

Egg on face

Well SaintPhil you are not the only one and further than that I believe they are looking at other midfield options as well, very odd.

I also don't understand another cm.
So far we have been playing 4-3-3.
Taider, cork, wanyama, jwp, Davis. Even ramires played a cm role against Bournemouth.
We have been playing with wingers also, and I feel only ramires could really suit that role.
It will be interesting, I don't know enough of koemans previous lineups at feyenoord to guess different formations. I've seen 5-3-2 mentioned a few times and we are well short of cb to play like that.
Personally though I would start cork, jwp and wanyama or Davis. Strong cm bench.

IMO it was the only way we were able to get shot of Osvaldo.

Taider's more of an offensive midfielder, he'll be a link between Cork/Wanyama/Spider and Tadic/Ramirez/whoever else

Pretty sure Taider is a defensive midfielder known for getting stuck into challenges and holding up the ball well, would never consider him and offensive midfielder. I do think with Wanyama and Cork we had that position covered however I won't ever argue about having depth here especially with his age and on a loan deal not costing a considerable amount. However have heard rumors about him having a poor work rate. Davis, JWP, Reed and Gaston are all able to play higher up the pitch with Spider an out and out box to box however I worry with midfielders coming in we are preparing him to leave. let's get an attacking threat, whether wide or through the middle, and some CB's in now and the team could push on this season. let's keep it optimistic

Starting to like the look of the new saints lineup. Two more signing of similar ability to the ones signed I will be happy. Really think some of our youngsters will come good this season. Really impressed with isgrove pre season. Wouldn't mind him starting v Liverpool tbh
