" Is it Fortune by name or fortune by nature??"

Who knows what Marc-Antoine Fortune is thinking, but i think his agent is playing a blinder, it's now reported that Portsmouth have joined the list of interested clubs, that can only mean more interest equals more money for the player and agent, personaly i believe Glasgow Celtic should mean more than money, but i also understand players trying to get the best deal for themselves and their families.
One thing is certain, whether he signs or not, our squad just announced for the trip to Brisbane looks very thin indeed and will need to be improved, we have lost Naka, big Jan, and Paul Hartley, of the eighteen man squad selected, you would have to say at least six will not be first pick players next season, so we cant go with what we have, the only ones missing through injury are Stephen Mc Manus and Scott Brown, obviously time for new recruits.
The other problem is clubs knowing we need players so raising the asking price, we could be held to ransom, as i said before, if the name of Glasgow Celic doesn't mean anything in football terms, then we really are in trouble.
Football has reached and even passed saturation point as far as money is concerned, what the English leagues have been doing for years has helped to cause that, if that wasn't bad enough, Real Madrid have now taken it to a new level that even the English league cant compete with, so where does that leave us ???
