Celtic in talks with Darren Randolph's representatives over a pre-contract deal which would see the Motherwell number one move to Parkhead in the Summer.

~seamus~

Believable14 Unbelievable30

Emmm.....not sure about this one. He was supposed to be discussing a pre-contract with Aberdeen. I suppose he is decent enough SPL backup. Steveomac

Agree0 Disagree0

Could be good back up I agree. If he wants to sit on a bench and make money from it so be it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would be a good no.2 but sadly seamus has been totally wrong on everything this window so won't hold my breath.

G93

Agree1 Disagree0

Would be a better option than zaluska as back up, he may see the attention big FF is getting and think he might move paving way for a first team opportunity.
DB77

Agree0 Disagree0

@G93 - Don't think so. Was first on here to report about Rami Gershon. Also, the window hasn't closed yet so you can't say that yet.

~seamus~

Agree0 Disagree2

Randolph NO thanks, bombscare and another of the tickle my belly brigade that roll over to Rangers at every opportunity, in fact Randolph has lost more goals to Rangers in 2 seasons than most celtic keepers have in their entire careers

Does anyone see a transfer request on the horizon?

Hooper doesn't want to be a celtic try get 7 mill for him and spend 4 or 5 of that on a new striker with pace that's what I hope . I'm sure Lennon and John park have players in mind to replace hooper he has been wanting to go to the EPL for a while so let him go I say hail hail garybhoy

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree said it from the close of the summer window that he wanted to go as did ED and lots of other posters of the site! I think celtic should name their price and say bye bye gary, give him a season or so and he will be in news saying he wishes that he had never left Paradise. The fans are fed up with the saga and want a player who is commited to the cause!

Agree1 Disagree0

It's the same old story I`m afraid. Players get a great platform at Celtic to do well and improve. Then are stupidly allured by English third rate clubs (money) then disappear into obscurity...*sigh*. They all regret it..well most.

Celtic have rejected 5 mill for Hooper from Norwich. tv. Cheeky in my opinion. I still find it amusing clubs down south like Norwich put in 5m for one of our top players, who is playing in the champions league. Also, fans down south always say 'yer puts he's scoring in the SPL and he's not proven in the EPL' so they feel 5m is a reasonable fee. Look at the going rates for players going between clubs in the EPL. Andy.

Believable22 Unbelievable7

Barry the janny

if hooper wants to go punt him, nothing less than 7.5 m, that's the price , pay it or shut it and stop wasting our time

Agree1 Disagree0

5 Mill isn't enough for a player like Hooper, but we don't know if add ons have been included. 5 Mill + 50% sell on would probably be fair.... If he performs for Norwich and they sell him for 20 Mill, you Bhoys will get 15 mill in the end......

CanaryBhoyTom

Agree1 Disagree1

5m is a disgrace. we should not budge for less than 10m especially in this window. We could get 5m for him in the summer anyway. Norwich and the rest of the epl can take their arrogance and f*ck off

celticthomas

Agree1 Disagree0

Norwich are just doing business like Celtic do when they raid smaller clubs for players, I'm sure Hooper will go to NCFC after an improved bid, just testing the water and getting Hooper interested so the ball rolling.

Agree0 Disagree1

Norwich bid was rejected as it was 5m plus add ons but the ads on was rejected as Celtic want the cash up front. The add on was 40% sell on fee but Celtic don't want to risk the sell on fee and would accept 8-9m cash upfront. Chances are 6-7m with a 30% add on would be accepted or 6m plus Morrison.

Agree0 Disagree1

So norwich are a bigger club than Celtic away you go ya d*ck why no leave a name when you come out with that pish
Dez

Agree2 Disagree0

If celtic accepted the bid, do you honestly think hooper would choose to go to norwich?
last 16 of champions league and winning the league in scotland or probably getting relegated next season?
if he opted for a top 6 team then that's understandable, anythin below that is just lack of ambition in my honest opinion
frankiebhoy

Agree2 Disagree0

Are you implying that Norwich are a bigger club than Celtic with the 'raiding smaller clubs' comment? !?! Hbhoy

Agree1 Disagree0

I think they will put another bid in soon. his contract is running out so we will probably accept it. If he wants to stay then he should sign a contract and if he wants to stay just for the juve game then he should sign a wee contract extension and get a buyout clause in it for the summer. That would show he wants Celtic to get top money for him, pretty similar to what Petrov did before he moved {Ed007's Note - He still has 18 months to run on his contract.}

Agree0 Disagree0

20mil if he's a success at norwich?! you havin a laugh....they couldn't even sell their training facilities for 20mil never mind hooper for 20...no1 will pay norwich that kind of money for mid to bottom team striker no matter how many he scores. Again the EPL teams think they are gods and can offer what they want and it will be accepted...no chance! Look at danny graham, half the player hooper is and he's worth 5mil...if that's the case hoops is worth 10mil!

Agree2 Disagree0

Don't want morrison...he's mince, come on bhoys and fellow fans let's raise the bar with who we would look at, all the pathetic EPL players are linked with us let's stick to finding wee gems and not go for what I would consider a waste of money....sell hooper replace with morrison haha if he was any good, norwich wouldn't be looking at hooper and graham...simple as that!

Agree1 Disagree0

Some of you Celtic fans are extremely rude! I thought this site was created to invite discussion? The majority of Celtic fans are brilliant and you can have a debate with them without the need of aggression.

CanaryBhoyTom

Agree0 Disagree1

Not aggression on our part....its arrogance on your part and those fans of teams from the EPL! To suggest celtic are a small club and norwich are bigger is a shambles, yous are norwich not man utd or liverpool....if it was a man utd fan etc we would take notice and respect what they have to say but when a Small EPL team like Norwich and their fans suggest that they are bigger than Celtic we have to say something.....yous don't have any decent history behind yous, you have a limited fan base, based in Norwich.....Celtic FC go beyond scotland and have a history that no EPL could afford to buy! When yous are fighting for the EPL championship and european qualification insead of fighting for survival then maybe come back with your 'smaller clubs' comment then, but right now yous are norwich fighting for survival....we are CELTIC fighting for the next round in the champs league! Simple!

Agree1 Disagree0

Norwich bigger than us ? aye ok...... Celtic would pump norwich every day of the week and twice on a sunday.

Stick us in their EPL give us the money that goes with it and within 3 years we would be a top 5 team every year unlike norwich who consider mid table and avoiding relegation a major success.

IF hoopers ambition is norwich good luck 7/8 million and a sell on clause then bye don't let the door hit your fat arse on the way out

Agree1 Disagree0

Just to clear up, he's not calling Celtic a small club. He's saying that Norwich are using the same tactics as Celtic do when Celtic raid smaller clubs. A lot of people on this site far too eager to have a go at others
Kevbhoy

Agree0 Disagree1

I know seriously but lets talk players value then Celtic think they are a huge club yea your a big team in Scotland yes you will win the league no you won't win the Cl because truthfully your not good enough. But the thing is who do you have to beat in the league noone. Hooper is not worth 10m maybe I he was at a club like Newcastle Sunderland Norwich stoke Swansea the problem Celtic have is he's 24 I think 18months left ok so the is prime time to sell but clubs won't pay top money as they can just wait 6 months till summer then if they still reject to sell 6 months later he can sign anywhere on a free so the thing to ask is it worth Celtic selling for 6-8m or keep him. And I am a Norwich fan and I don't think Norwich are a bigger club then Celtic but we do have a better support group. Norwich could fill a 50.000 cap stadium the season ticket list is that long. And the other thing Norwich have over Celtic like most the other club in EPL is its a challenge you have to work your ass off every day and every game no game is easy every game is like a cup final just to stay in the league. Also the other reason EPL is better is money hooper will never be looked at from a top 6 club while at Celtic the only time he will be looked at is if he scores and plays for England. And is scoring in the EPL. So you look at the SPL top scorers 7th spot for hooper so with Celtic being the best team in SPL and being such a big club why is he 7th overall if he is that good and worth 10m+ maybe his heart is not there and bored of playing easy games week in week out with the odd hard game. Plus Norwich after this season have another advantage no debt. There fore he may even be offered a payrise each year or something money talks look at Remy to qpr if Celtic want to keep hooper offer him the 40k a week he will be getting at Norwich. Everyone will say no it's 30k yes your correct grant holt is on 20k a week but he has goal bonus and assist bonuses. If hooper gets to talk to city it's reported close to the board that its 28k a week 5k goal bonus 3k assist so if he scores and assists that's 36k

Agree0 Disagree1

18 Jan 2013 17:43:39
If hopper made it clear he ain't staying long term then let's do business now at the rite price.sell when stock is high as don't want another emilio as he has really struggled since injury and price tag nowhere near what it was.

Agree0 Disagree0

By that logic kevbhoy he's calling celtic a smaller club than Norwich can you no understand that
Dez

Agree0 Disagree0

So kevbhoy....what does that comment say about celtic? We raid unknown clubs for little nuggets who will blossom into gold bars.....so if norwich are using the same tactics as celtic, is he not implying that celtic are the smaller team? Considering the teams we buy from, if norwich wanted to use the same tactics as celtic why are they not finding these little nuggets of gold like we do? To me and many other fans it comes across like the poster is saying we are the smaller club especially when its our best striker they are trying to sign for such a shocking fee!

Agree1 Disagree0

Do I think Norwich are bigger then Celtic no do I thing Celtic are bigger then Norwich no I think both clubs have better things then each other Celtic can offer trophys and Cl football Norwich can offer EPL football with the stage to prove to bigger clubs he's good enough and a better chance at an England call up and a challenge every week. Norwich are not a step up or down to Celtic I think if Norwich get hooper he will either be gone in a few seasons to a top team or Norwich will be debt free and be able to afford 50k a week time will only tell. And kev for being a $#¥ bad luck against juv.

Agree0 Disagree1

18 Jan 2013 18:44:43
get over yourselves lads. as far as I can see nobody is suggesting Norwich are bigger and nobody in their right mind would ever do that. But the fact remains Norwich have every right to tempt Celtic with the up front 5m bid. As I've said before, 'it's business' and who of us does not like to get a bargain? I don't even read anything about Hooper now; it's all getting a bit tiresome. Best to hope for is they get a decent amount for the lad for NL to re-invest. Big Sammy can't do it on his own.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sick o dis rubbish lads i'm bigger than you crack, I know its a rumour site but come on people need to ignore the rubbish reading between the lines and comment on the positives, were so lucky to have a great team to support and every true supporter loves there club regardless.. HH

Agree0 Disagree0

To the Norwich fan who wrote about him being in 7th spot, look at last year for only van per, messi, Ronaldo, and someone else had a better scoring to games ratio in all of Europe. Scored in cl sets up people in cl and look at how many he has scored since he has been with us. He is without a doubt a 10mill player and if it was epl to would be close to 20mill. He will score for fun in the England squad and yous are going to regret not add him in sooner.

Agree0 Disagree0

As an Englishman, living in England, and a Celtic supporter, with Scottish and Irish blood, I think I can have the final word on this ;)...Too many narrow minded EPL team supporters think that 'proving yourself in the premier league' is the absolute be all and end all of a player. Far too quick are these persons to dismiss the likes of Schevchenko or Forlan or various others because "yeah, but they couldn't do it in the Premier League". They love to be convinced/convince themselves that it's the best league in the world, ignoring the fact that none of FIFA's team of the year play there, and quite recently, ignoring that the Spanish, Italian, French and German top-flights were found globally, to have been credited as more exciting or prosperous leagues than the EPL. [Just google that stuff instead of questioning me.] Without beating around the bush, yes the EPL is of better standard than the SPL, but does that mean an INDIVIDUAL such as Hooper is no better than any other EPL forward? No. Steven Fletcher, Jellyfish, and even Steven Naismith are performing admirably this season, more so than a lot of other forwards who have came from 'better leagues' for big money. Is Hooper rated more highly than the three aforementioned players ever were in the SPL? Yes he is. Do Norwich want to pay for a player who is more valuable than Fletcher or Jellyfish? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Celtic aren't going to sell themselves short after changing the transfer policy the way they have done in recent seasons. that's for sure. As long as we make a profit and bring in a suitable replacement on the park, who honsetly cares? We'll all be Celtic supporters a lot longer than any player will play for the club.

Agree3 Disagree0

Norwich fan if you look on the Norwich site I have said Norwich should bid 8-9m I think he will be great at Norwich but Norwich don't have the money yet to do it of they did I would be surprised. I think Norwich need him and Danny but Celtic need him to but apparently he wants to leave I think Norwich and Celtic should come to an agreement and Norwich pay 6m up front and add ons taking it to 10m would Celtic fans be happy with that

Agree0 Disagree1

To even compare Hooper to van Persie, Messi and Ronaldo is completely insane. His goal ratio counts for nothing whilst playing in Scotland. Lee McCulloch has scored 22 goals already this season, is he worth 10m too? Yous are making him out to be a world class. He'll move to England and struggle big time...watch this space.

TTG

Agree1 Disagree0

I wouldn't pay attention to these Norwich fans' opinion on Gary Hooper, I agree with the English Celtic fan, English people just think because he plays in the spl he can't be that good, they also say how poor the spl is so I take it they wouldn't watch Celtic matches and just base their opinion on the fact he plays in the spl...

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed what do you think of this post? In my opinion to even consider Norwich anywhere near celtics size is ridiculous!! Norwich have 1 thing better than celtic and that's there in epl but when they are relegated they will go back to being unknowns! {Ed007's Note - CFC are a much bigger club than Norwich but it's a pointless argument that usually ends up in infantile squabbling.}

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 23:19:00
I'm am English Celtic fan, my dad was from shettleston originally but made sure I was brought up the right way with my four brothers and little sister. My point is that like the other English fan I've had to listen to this "it's only the spl "tripe for years. I even heard it with regard to Henrik, the only way to shut them up was pointing out that he scored goals in Europe, euro championships and world cups against the best defenders in the world. Now in no way am I comparing Hooper with Ghod but pointing out this arrogance has been there for years. The average fan thinks the epl is the be all and end all of football in Britain. The press would not dare draw attention to German or Spanish football being better, nor the prices involved for fans, if they did there would be no more "inside" stories for the pet journalists. Rant over. GBNL .Andymac.

Agree2 Disagree0

Ttg you a complete joke, we are talking about top leagues and not the lowest of lows your new clib isn't a beep in football. 22 is not good in that league for hopper would be at 60 by now. Hooper was a leading scorer in goals in all of Europe with only 2 people I think scored more than him last year, and goals to games ratio is what people look at when thinking Of buying a player. Leave your thinking with your club for you watch a team that is horrible the jealousy see no end with you.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hooper would be nowhere near 60 in the SFL3. If its goals to game ratio clubs look at then why haven't the bigger European clubs made bids for him? Afterall, only two players have better ratios in Europe! You are essentially stating Hooper is the 3rd best striker in Europe when you bring up rubbish like that, it's sad. Like I said, his goals to game ratio counts for nothing whilst in Scotland, when comparing him to strikers in the best leagues in Europe.

TTG

Agree0 Disagree0

4 goals in 8 cl starts this season !

Agree1 Disagree0

Getting away from the who, s bigger [ no brainer] and trying to compare stats in different leagues [ no point ] lets talk about now ! he is celtics player and anyone who wants him will have to meet celtics valuation of him, end of . As ed mentioned on another thread hoopers agent is about to get the bullet and is therefore trying to engineer a big payday for himself before he goes. celtic should call their bluff and offer hooper the 30k a week he reportedly wants . wouldn't blow the wage structure by too much and I think his goals are worth it. if he says no he clearly wants to go at which point you start an auction. norwich are clearly not the only epl team who want him and his agent has been at work down there . if this is about playing for england incidentally I think hodgson is the one manager they have had who would pick someone playing in the spl. goals in the champions league are worth more than any league stats especially sfl3 ? in terms of the wage structure at parkhead the highest earners don't necessarily contribute the most at the moment but squad harmony is why we are where we are in the cl and is worth more than any single player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can we just have a big Norwich - Celtic hug and move on from all this arguing! It's doing my nut in!

Agree0 Disagree0

Good result for the mighty Norwich the day!!

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't know why everyone is getting excited and upset about 5 million is the first offer very few clubs put a full bid in first time and very few clubs except it of coarse their going to test the water first so calm down ... as for hooper going to norwich celtic is a far bigger club but epl is a far bigger league than the spl we could offer champions league but champions league is not guaranteed like some fans are saying only qualifiers, we are never going to win the champions league to us is the chance of a big glamour tie against teams like barca or man united but even smaller epl clubs can offer players the chance of big glamour ties against big clubs every other week and pay them more money ... the way people talk you would think hooper is some sort of super star to me he's nothing special and can easily be replaced samaras has scored more goals in the champions league this year and he plays out on the wing... take the cash and get someone in who wants to wear the hoops

barry the janny

Got a wee idea that might help with the distribution of tickets for big games .. here it is ...
Season ticket holders get there tickets the normal way
Non season ticket holders join a new celtic Ticket Club, with a membership number etc and this should show many games you have attended ( ie the 3 cl package ) this way tickets could be prioritised to fans who actually haven't missed a CL game, i'm sure its not rocket science to set up and would easily help out Bhoys / Ghirls who regulary attend games get their tickets ... maybe call it a loyalty scheme, any views anybody ?

Believable12 Unbelievable5

Good idea. This is how Barca do it and I believe Arsenal and some of the EPL clubs charge a membership fee and get access to tickets.

Agree0 Disagree0

The loyalty scheme is already in place, it's called season book holders. Hbhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

We should have a membership club like Liverpool. They charge all members 20 a year for priority access to tickets. This would also be a good earner for the club

Agree0 Disagree0

Liverpool also do this and it's a very successful scheme.

Agree0 Disagree0

They used to have this type of membership about five years ago. it worked fine for fans not able to have a season tix for whatever reason. it was scrapped! I wonder why? the same reason that they have done this with the CL games.by allowing the season tix holders to buy additional tix it adds value to having a season tix. great if you have a season tux. not so good if you don't. they are just trying to get people to think that having a season tix is the best way to see these games. the only thing is its not always practical or financially possible to have a season tux.

Agree0 Disagree0

Loyalty scheme were is your loyalty for spl games when the stadium is empty you can't expect to just turn up for big games

In these days of badge kissing money chasing players it is so sad to hear of the passing of Sean Fallon.A guy who never lost the feeling of how lucky he had been to pull on a Celtic shirt.I had the Enormous pleasure of meeting him at a function in Celtic Park years ago, he was my late fathers hero for the way he represented Celtic, and he was one of the most humble people I have had the pleasure to meet.Almost embarrassed to accept any praise on his contribution to our club, my heart swells when I think of my Dad acting like a wee boy at sitting talking to him.and he was in his sixties! I am sure he will be given an appropriate send off on Saturday, he deserves it. A legendary Celt my thoughts go out to his family. RIP iron man...........green jhedi

The currant bun saying Norwich launched £10m bid for hooper and Danny graham. £5m each.

Believable12 Unbelievable3

I say let him go, but no for 5 mil....7-8 would be accpetable, he clearly isn't for staying so let's cash in on him before its too late and get a bhoy in that wants the jersey and not a wage rise along with a struggle for EPL footie every-year! Hooper will realise after a while that the grass isn't always greener!

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh i'd let him go and spend that money on another sriker even lorente from bilbaio cost like 4 million better than hooper

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree, let's cash in on him but for 10 million, I know he's not proven in England but when you look at some of the prices thrown about down there then he's well worth that. Happy to take 5 million and grant Holt.

Agree0 Disagree0

They should almost certainly get told to 'do one'. An English forward with a great goal scoring record, valiant performances in the CL up top by himself, and with time on his side and they think 5m is a good offer purely because of the country he plays his domestic football in? TYRANTS!! Makes me laugh when you see Zaha, an English forward (although younger than Hooper), who doesn't score a lot of goals at all compared to Hooper when he was in the championship commanding 20m. Rank rotten.

Agree0 Disagree0

The sun ? enough said. load of garbage. I sincerely hope you did not buy it ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Utter nonsense . Celtic knocked back 6 million for Hooper and that was before he played in the CL so why would they accept this crap offer . Michu signed for a 2 million then scored 16 goals now Swansea are rating him at 30 million . Even Mcleish enquired about Barry Bannan and Villa told them to start talking at 7 million . Typical arrogant English clubs thinking we are easy pickings . That's if the story is even true.....DH

Agree0 Disagree0

5 million is a insult..

Agree0 Disagree0

Remember this is all paper talk. Nothing wrong with a player holding out for money. I would do same in his boots, but I totally doubt anyone will want to leave this now with JUVE coming up. Hooper has done a lot for us and if goes now or in the summer all the very best to him. Been EXCELLENT for us.
@jockdj83

Agree0 Disagree0

Im a ncfc fan, and would love hooper to come, yes he scores goals in spl, but not proven in epl.5-6mil is a gd price

Agree0 Disagree1

Unproven in england, really? better scoring record than certain carroll in championship who went for ridiculous money. he has also proved himself in CL so regardless of SPL questioners he is surely worth more than 5M.
Disappointed to see him go but if so, then we need to bring in a "ready now" top drawer replacement, not a "one for the future".
Dont see Norwich pulling this off and I see his other option of Southampton may be gone with Adkins gettign the bullet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Andy Carroll wasn't proven in EPL and Newcastle netted 35 mil for him. 5 - 6 mil - dream on pal. Kevslug.

Agree0 Disagree0

NCFC fan, are you genuinely being serious or just making chit chat? How on earth is 5-6 million a good price? Have you even bothered reading previous comments? Shear and utter ignorance.
DAMO1888

Agree0 Disagree0

Big step down if he went to norwich! they are such a smaller club than celtic. He really has no ambition if he goes to norwich, and for that price you gotta be joking. proven or not, there are players in the prem, no were near as good as hooper who cost more. we will get more than 5m, from a team much better and bigger than norwich

loopy hoopy

Agree0 Disagree0

The s*n got the story back to front, gary hooper has offered to buy norwich for 5 million

Agree0 Disagree0

NL just stated in a press conf (saw it on Sly Spurts) that the bid was rejected and the club are not happy that this has been made public as this is not the way we do business.
End of!
HH
/BB {Ed007's Note - I would be looking at the player's current agent looking for a payday before Hooper moves to his new agent. The press knew about the bid before the club had received anything official.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Andy carroll scored a good few premiership goals including a double at the emirates so he proved himself down there. was never worth the money liverpool paid tho. hooper will go 6.5 mill and he's off

hooper is worth at v least 7.5/ 9 million, always makesmakes me laugh, then mad as f##k when i hear the usual crap that he's only scored in spl and not proven in epl, outside of a couple of the big teams in epl the rest are mediocre bordering on absolutly pish and couldn't hold there own home or away against celtic... wise up epl, you have an over inflated ego, that's why the champions of scotland are in last 16 of champions league and champions of england aren't even in the europa league.. hail hail, god bless sean fallon+

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha could not hold our own against Celtic err Norwich 2 wins out of 2 and I like Celtic but just cuz your in the Cl and beat barca does not mean your amazing club hell Norwich went 10 games unbeaten with wins against Man Utd and arsenal and spurs so don't give me that rubbish if any pl team was in the Cl they have just as much chance as you anyone can beat anyone on the giving day. Fact is hooper is unproven in the pl and when Celtic bought hooper why did 3 teams from the pl pull out of the deal and not bid he's another cms. If Celtic got cms he would do wonders at your club but noone thinks he can in the pl Celtic are not championship squad but there not top 12 pl either Celtic would be like Newcastle are always safe but you would have no chance of Cl in the pl. Celtic won't sell hooper and neither will he go not untill the summer at least unless his agent can get him to transfer request and makes himself unhappy. I wish Celtic all the best against juv I just fed up with people slagging other clubs off. Truth is noone will know how we'll Celtic will play if in the pl so end of that. Lets see what happened Norwich will have to bid 7m to get hooper at least then they will need to add the add ons on but that's a risk Norwich have to take if they want him come summer he could go anywhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 00:37:01
Gershon and Rogic signed already. Do we expect to sign any more? If so what positions do we need to be strengthening?

Believable9 Unbelievable4

I want us to sign Juan Agudelo. He looks like a real classy striker, he is certainly able with his feet and can stick in a header or two and at only twenty years old, he fits our transfer philosophy. With Hooper leaving at the end of the year, this lad could be a quality replacement.

Quack

Agree0 Disagree0

Possibly a winger

Agree0 Disagree0

If the bid is 5 million ? its a slap in the face to the club, we will take 5 mill and your best striker grant holt as make weight ! EPL mid table win nothing club taking urine again with silly bids !

I still think we need cover at left back and would let McCourt, rogne, stokes, bangura go as they are not Celtic class although if paddy could stay fit?

Stokes is celtic class. hooper scores slightly more goals than him when they are both fully fit and hooper starts more games than him!
