Looking on another transfer page and it states that hoopers off for 7.7 million plus a player from Southampton this will happen monday/Tuesday as Celtic have agreed a price for another striker and that's why the deal will go ahead. Henke7.

Wouldnt mind getting ricky lambert as part of the deal

kev88

More like Paul Lambert ya numpty, wind yer neck in man

The bid wasnt 6mil it was 2 so why are they boostin the offer by 5.7 million

Shut up ya t**t!! Decent money for hooper + lambert would be a good deal! Don't want to lose hooper, but he'll go eventually! Some supporters need to get a grip, we would even be lucky to get lambert up here never mind hooper going the other direction! I'm fed up hearing Celtic play European football blah blah blah....... Sounds good till Dunfermline away, Inverness away, st mirren away in the league! {Ed007's Note - So are you saying players don't consider European football when selecting clubs? First I have heard of that. You do know that some players have clauses in their contract that are triggered if a team that offers regular European football comes in for them don't you? Well obviously not eh?}

Back into your cage william hooper is going nowhere

No... I'm saying European football isn't all it's cracked up to be be once they've had a very small shot at it!! Once they realise that they can't do much more more they might move on! ie stan petrov on wed night.... Inverness! It's more of a question than my opinion. I'm starting to learn the hard way! {Ed007's Note - It's the exposure and chance to prove yourself against European opponents that is the attraction. European football is more important to players than international games, that's why so many retire from the international game to concentrate on their club career, the prestige and money is more important than their national pride.}

Listen to yersels. There is no way Celtic will look to sell Hooper when we are chasing the title. He is a top top striker who deserves to be a english premier player but nothing will happen in this transfer window if it does happen Mr Lawwell and co should walk now.

Now can all the naysayers f*ck off to their own page. HH

Fair play to this man ^

I'm fed up hearing Celtic play European football blah blah blah....... Sounds good till Dunfermline away, Inverness away, st mirren away in the league!

better than playing for mid table pi5h in the money league and going to bolton, blackburn and wigan with no European football

What could.Celtic.possibly hope to gain by selling hooper now? I think he is only 23 so his price is only going to go up, say he ends up with 30 goals this season which is a real possibility then no doubt he is a ten million pound man. It would make no sense to sell now.

Neil Lennon has put a £35m price tag on him

Dont think it matters what price lennon puts on him if the board get great money then they will take it.

Yeh great money as in 10 million or more people keep spouting utter pi$h CELTIC DO NOT NEED TO SELL ANYONE! n unless we got an offer we couldnt refuse hooper is goin nowhere he will just get better season after season n any football player wi brains wants 2 win trophies n play in europe ie champions league its the premier competition the epl may offer mega money but it is absolute garbage i mean seriously a poster on here was goin on about y would sumbody want 2 go 2 inverness dunfermline etc on a typical scottish winter y would anybody want 2 go 2 wigan bolton blackburn etc 2 play against overpaid average players in front of half empty stadiums people seem 2 c the epl as sum holy ground n its not the best team in the world is barca well apart fae the hoopshaha n they destroy every english team they cum up against so wot does that say bout the epl?if it was so gd n they were all so gd y wen many of them hav unlimited money cant they compete wi barca?its cos money dont buy u success this year man utd n man city got dumped out theyre goin backwards n it shows utds desperation that paul scholes is back so folks get it straight hoops do not nd 2 sell whether sumbody makes an enquiry or a bid it means nothin unless we get bids that match our valuation nobody is going anywhere lenny is building a talented n young team that will only develop n get better n will get us back in the champions league where weve had sum top nites we aint a selling club the books get balanced we aint goin outta business like the dark side o the force n lenny wants success n he will deliver a treble this season n much more 2 come hail hail is1888

Harry Redknapp to push for james forrest as back up for aaron lennon 6mil i am being told! {Ed007's Note - Don't listen to the the voices. Wrap your head in tinfoil, that should help.}

As was said last week on the site, there's no way NL is selling anyone crucial to winning the league title (he confirmed it yesterday in press conf). It's clear we have the right blend at the minute and if anything the right CB at the right price etc would come in. Any trialists in at the moment are for future development.

as i said last week ED about southamptons first bid for hooper then i said on wednesday they had placed another bid to which people said oh they only made an equiry where they gonna get the money to sign hooper ! i have a feeling they will be back with an improved 3rd bid sometime next week {Ed007's Note - They can come back if they want to. Unless the bid is in excess of £7 million they are wasting their time, even that amount might not force a deal.}

Am not saying your wrong just sayin that people thought i was talkin s**t like the one poster who was saying "where they gonna get the money from it was only an equiry what was made"

Listen you, there has only been 1 bid, the 1 st one was a phone call to see if they could encourage a bid then on Thursday they came in with a £4 million pound offer that was rejected! They don't have 7 or 8 million that it would take.

Neil has admitted he has rejected a couple of offers (bbc sport) for hooper

Well it pleased me to hear the offer was rejected, which shows we dont need to sell unlike some others, hopefully were making a good team, ed any news on either trialists being offered contracts? regards keir {Ed007's Note - Not yet no.}

"listen you" lennon said a couple of bids to my knowledge a couple is usually 2 so clamp it

my cousin who lives in wales and supports swansea has told me celtic and swansea talkin over a deal for leroy lita,,,,dont know if its loan or buy,,,,think he would b perfect signing big powerful striker just wot we nd

Small but powerful you mean?!

Lita is about 5"6 with heels on! Afraid not mate

Wee bloke but is strong. Think Lennon wants someone to receive the crosses from the wingers.

A didnt mean tall a meant big as in built like a tank

A midget tank? {Ed007's Note - His official height is listed as 5ft 9.}
