Another bid of 4.1m from celtic rejected for finbogason. Herenveen now stating they want 5.3 m.

We are now entering the realms of the biggest transfer since the Martin O'Neil days which in itself is fine but to go with the big fee goes a big salary. Again this is fine but in a time when we no longer have the Sevconians to bump up the TV money (at least 4 old firm games a season) and the also rans sharing a bigger piece of the current TV money I really do hope this guy is the player so many think he is and he scored the goals to get us back into the last 16 at least.

Celtic should tell Herenveen to shove it. JK

Herenveen need cash, they will sell Finn, no doubt about it, but they are trying to get as much as possible for him, nowt wrong with that, but I agree with the previous poster CFC should now tell them they are not going any higher, moving on to other targets, test their resolve.

Really think we should pay 5 for him think it'll at least double in a few years time.the boys already scored 3 and set up 2 this season alone and in my opinion in a more technical league. Don't think he's the tricks and flicks sort like Henke could pull off but he'll defo bang em in. Fingers crossed hail hail

Pay the £5m he is better than the striker we just sold and be on cheaper wages.ajw

every1 is going mad here. 5mil for a guy wee had the chance of for 400k.

let it go. he's 1 that got away but that was last year not now. wanting to pay that for a guy that had a good season and a bit. I rate him I really do, but nowhere near enough for that lot to hold us to ransom.

why did wee sign balde? wee signing subs now. let's see what this guy does. don't know what lenny is playin at signing guys that don't get a chance.

young watt wasting away aswell.

adam le fondre I am amazed that he has not even been mentioned. machine in the EPL and woulda scored more had it not been for the russian owners demanding record signing pogrebnyak b a starter.

whatever signings I hope ther the right ones,, 5mil is a serious punt for us these days. hope if wee get him he's a machine I really do.

mon the hoops

Nothing wrong in a team wanting a fair price for a player. Not very courteous if we try and offer low bids just to get him on the cheap since the club are skint.

Shame on Celtic if that's the case. They told us the price now pay up or find someone else as good but there's no excuse for not meeting the valuation, we have adequate funds!

If finbogason wants to come then let him call out to celtic, they are just playing games with celtic, just look at all the teams that want the 24 year old finbogason just now, oh yep all the big teams want him eh.

Let it go celtic it may be another Mo.

Isn't it Celtic playing the mind games as usual when it comes to a transfer at a fair price we should have had Russell and Rhodes here already.We have the money pay the going rate there are NO Excuses.

Just pay the money, Celtic wouldn't reduce the price for Hooper and Co. why should the other team do it for Celtic, they'll miss out if they don't pay the going rate

We have made an offer for Eyong Enoh from Ajax. Surprisingly our offer is better than Fulhams although player needs a bit of convincing to come up here

Enoh is a cracking player. Seen him quite a few times. Lost his place at Ajax after an injury, he was a first pick 2 seasons ago. Can't see us getting him ahead of a move to the english Premiership though.

Wasn't he on loan at Fulham last season? Davie C

I don't know anything about him apart from U
YouTube highlights but his tackling is shocking

Enoh aw naw

Article on tv website from yesterday related to fulhams interest but at bottom his agent confirms interest from other clubs in the UK

ssn' Paper Talk section stating "Joe Kinnear has turned to Genk ace Jelle Vossen in an effort to bolster Newcastle's forward line."

However, it does say that's The person reporting that story. Wouldn't believe the date printed on that rag!

So why read it then duh

This is consistent with what I said before about Vossen - too expensive for us. Genk are very reliant on him, and so will only sell for big money. He is also club catain. Last week they signed Mboye (would have been a great target for us, but has a dodgy criminal past), so may be happier to do a deal, but still out of our price range I feel - they know they can demand a higher fee. We should look elsewhere. jean-Pierre Laguerre

Rumours are we are after an israeli midfield player who plays maccabi haifai

Im sick of this messin about wi transfers. Just pay the money and get them in. No need for all this. We pay our money for season tickets. We deserve a product.

Hope he is better than the one we have just now! don't get me wrong I thought Kayal was a great player but he hasn't had a good game for a long time now.
Fitzy1888

Am guessing it is Avihai Yadin - holding midfielder we have been linked with for a long time. Would seem odd that we are going through a trial at this point - the player has clearly been scouted thoroughly - surely he is either a viable target or not. Jean-Pierre Laguerre

Avihai yadin a defensive midfielder

NO NAME? CRAP! TO LATE JUST GOT A STRANGE FEELING, FROM A POSITION OF STRENGH WE BLEW IT AGAIN.al geri.

Al geri it was me that posted this rumour and I just forgot to log in ok

Anyone else think we should have taken a punt on Scott McDonald when he was a free agent a couple of weeks ago.
