Alright Ed, just wondering if you've heard how the Balde negotiations are progressing? Thought we may have had an announcement today. Any inside info on the big fella? I take it he's a John Park special. {Ed007's Note - As far as I know the medical take part this afternoon, so it will be an evening of shmoozing tonight and probably some form of announcement tomorrow unless there are any hinderance.}

I've heard there is a problem with personal terms, that's what's holding things up. Could of been told mince, but when its celtic that's involved there is always a chance of it being true. Also think russell would of been a better fit. And Ed I also heard that stokes might not be getting the new contract due to his off-field problems. is this true?

S {Ed007's Note - At a guess I would pick the agent' fees will be the hold up, they always seem to be theses days.}

Especially when it's 10% to you 20% to him then the rest going to his agent and his uncle Caito, if Celtic get a sniff of any wrong doings they will be out of there in a heartbeat. Hope the deal goes through without any hitches as I'm looking forward to seeing this young man in action. Ian L

I'm feeling a bit uneasy about this transfer, TBH. The player and his agent have clearly used Celtic's interest to try to drum up a bid from the EPL, to no avail. I hope Celtic haven't been conned into upping the transfer fees and personal terms because of a non-existent bid from Palace. Hopefully, all will be well and we'll get a younger, cheaper Didier Drogba but I have a sneaky suspicion we'll end up with the Portuguese Brian Deane.

Are we going for McFadden? Just got a feeling we will! HH

Big ed fkn loves um of course we wull?

Had way too many chances to come to Celtic already. I personally would be quite annoyed if this move happened. {Ed007's Note - It will be a bloddy travesty if he ever gets another chance at Celtic.}

Makes the club look foolish and desperate.
Apart from the snubs already he is one injury away from retirement; so please NO!

Jungle Jim

Had more chances than most would get to join the hoops, everytime he's said no just because a EPL team was interested. now that the interest from there is away he'd be more than willing to talk. I say away u go had your chance, and agree with jungle jim. going for a past it james mcfadden is desperate.

I agree don't want him he has turned his back on Celtic more than once and he is almost done wouldn't touch even if he is a free.

From what I've heard his agent has been told they may be interested, however he isn't a first choice target as of yet. Similar to the russell situation. Will only be signed if we have had a poor window. Would be gutted to miss out on Russell and end up with McFadden tho.

I would rather put a concrete 2mil offer in for makay steven he's younger and better

McFadden not hoops standard, turned his back once too often, not worth the risk,

My sons go to school in hamilton with his boy james. he has already said no chance of joining the zombies no matter what's on offer! that alone is good enough for me

With McCourt leaving this makes a lot of sense. I think this could be a nice bit to business. I think McFadden would give you more of an impact than paddy

He's had his chance on more than one occassion and strung us along before chasing the cash, I don't want him anywhere near the home dressing room at CP. Another one who will regret turning us down for the rest of his days. As for McCourt, he should never have been at CP, period. Get McGinn back, that lad should never have been sold in the first place.

McFadden is not Celtic class anymore, should not be even looking in that direction and honestly don't think they will be.
