Any idea if the rumoured interest in Atsu is true Ed?

{Ed007's Note - Yes it's true. CFC have contacted Michael Emenalo to register their interest.}

He was decent at the world cup, final ball let him down a few times. Hopefully he'd fancy a crack at the Champions League, more importantly, hopefully Chelsea want him to play in the Champions League rather than prefer to loan him to another Premier League team

Rumour in the Daily Mail this morning that Ronny Delia has already confirmed we're in the market for a wide man and his number one target is Christian Atsu (on loan) who we tried to sign last summer before his £5m move to Chelsea. RD hope's the prospect of Champions League football will be enough to convince him to join us?! He spent last season on loan to Chelsea's feeder team Vitesse.

Why are we looking at loans? I keep hearing we have no money. Wanyama and Hooper?. Wheres that money? Ronnie says he's wanting goals tomorrow night, I'm wanting players BOUGHT.

Agree0 Disagree1

We may be looking at loaning him with a view to sign permanently, that might be the route our board are wanting to go down now so we avoid any more Boerrigter / Bangura type transfers!

Tbh, I don't think we will actually be after him.

Not being funny, but the rumour I posted on here about Mix Diskerud was posted on the GB's rumours thread. The day after I posted it on here, it was in the DR - the boy who posted it said he completely made it up?

Someone on here mentioned Christian Atsu last night, it was then in the papers this morning?

I'm thinking the press have turned to using message boards and social networking to fill their rags due to Celtic keeping everything so hush-hush at the moment!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've messaged someone who should know if there is anything in the Atsu story but I can't see it happening.}

I don't think there's any problem with us pursuing loan deals, in fact I think we should be aiming for one loan signing every season. Young players looking to prove a point can be great acquisitions. Look at Lukaku. A good loan signing who we couldn't afford to sign permanently could make the difference in europe

Agree1 Disagree0

Lukaku is indeed the perfect example of a successful loan and is the kinda thing Celtic should be looking at, but young and looking to prove a point, not old and topping up the pension

I see we're being linked with Christian Atsu again this time on loan. From what I saw of him in the Eredvisie and also at the world cup he's certainly that fast wide man RD has said we're after. Hopefully though there will be some sort of option to buy if things work out.
