Jorge Claros to sign in the next 48-72 hours

Unbelievable32
He was shot last month and still recovering so I can't c that happening
Agree0

It'll be the Craig Whyte 48 hour clock for this guy. As a bluenose, i can tell you its not a good clock ;-)
Agree0
Disagree0
Wont happen this window seeing as he was shot last month
Agree0
Disagree0
Don't know whether there is interst or nor but the shooting wont be the reason for any stop to a trasfer. He was only grazed and a the time doctors said he's be out for 3 weeks. That was 3 or 4 weeks ago. Doubt we'll buy another midfielder though

I have heard tonight that we have been trying desperately to get rid of stokes but no1 will take him because of his reputation for being an a**hole. Been offered to pretty much everyone and they all said no ta so it looks like were stuck with the half wit
Believable15
Unbelievable48
Stokes was about the best player for us tonight, we all no about his rep but i still think he can do a job for us
Agree0
Disagree0
Someone might take him after tonight had a great game think this post is nonsense though he has played all pre season
Agree0
Disagree0
You are either a Rangers fan or an absolute idiot of a Celtic fan. Stokes must stay, he will not go and was good tonight. GET A GRIP
Agree0
Disagree0
Stokes was brilliant tonight n y would lennon want to switch the stokes and hooper partnership
Agree0
Disagree0
What a load of Craig Whyte Stokes scored nearly 20 goals last season and wasn't even a regular starter.. get back to the shame page ya dafty
Agree0
Disagree0
I think stokes has a bad reputation and rightly so but if he sticks to playing football I think he'd be a cracking Celtic player. He's still young, think we should give him at least another season. Had a great game tonight.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its a tie between you being a person or a idiotic celtic fan who did not see a single celtic game this season or pre season, he was oustanding tonight and was great last season scoring twenty goals crawl back to you cave moron
Agree0
Disagree0
Think this is the same R*****s fan who has been posting s***e on here for a while now.. wot a very sad individual {Ed007's Note - It is extremely sad and glaringly obvious to us Eds when people , post pretending to support another club. It happens on all the sites though but is very childish, we put it down to school holidays etc}
Agree0
Disagree0
Stokes will be going no-where. He'll score goals no doubt. I said it a few weeks ago that he'll start the season with Hooper as we had exhausted all our options & I got pelters on here. Richybhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
I am not a rangers fan, I'm a season ticket holder at park head. Fact is I never said anything about the boys talent, I stated a fact about his attitude. He's a p**ck. I think he will prob score another 20 goals but he still disrupts the rest of the team. And he is a half wit but that's not to say he is a bad player but we have been trying to offload him for sometime now and no1 wants him for the reasons I have stated, attitude, not ability
Agree0
Disagree0
Season ticket holder my A**E you been wearin a blind fold gone to the game aye since when have we been wanting to let him go for sometime he had a bust up with lenny and they sorted it out and lenny has already said hes a privledge to work with to stop talkin colin nish goon

Who ever posted this must bee a person no fellow tim talks about his own players like that

My father is a personal friend of Mr Eric Riley and according to my father we will sign Stipe Pletikosa on a 2 year contract on friday and he will start against Hibs on sunday. Also we are going to spend £3million on Mexican Striker Aldo De Nigris.
GK - Pletikosa
RB - Matthews
CB - Wanyama
CB - K.Wilson
LB - Izaguirre
RM - Brown
CM - Kayal
CM - Ledley
LM - Commons
ST - De Nigris
ST - Hooper
£4million spent on 5 quality players and we will romp home to the title, hail hail
Believable26
Unbelievable36
I think that would be great if we got aldo, quality player.

Not sure if Lenny see's Wanyama at CB next season. Think big Dan will lead the back line.
Agree0

Romp home the title. like you lot said last year, and the year before that....... WATP
Agree0
Disagree0
Tell your uncle that browns suspended for the first two games
Agree0
Disagree0
I know, that team is just a general line up for the season, not for sunday's game you moron...
Agree0
Disagree0
Line up doesn't refer to Hibs game, it means the season in general...
Agree0
Disagree0
Wanyama won't be the centre half. Will be that big diddy Majstorovic. De Nigris would be a quality signing. Not a bad side if it is
Agree0
Disagree0
Doubt we'll sign De Nigris unless we get shot of Sammy.....gutted
DazzaBhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
Mark Wilson will be our right back for years to come, not Matthews
Agree0
Disagree0
Totally agree, wilson is soooo underated it's startin 2 become a joke
Agree0
Disagree0
Thats not quality basicly we never heard of matthews wanyama or de nigris so shut the hell up we always say we will romp but we dont
Agree0

Hate to burst yer bubble but it'll be the big Swede who'll be playing central defence along with other.

There's been another twist in the knowledge musona saga. Kaizer chiefs are reportdly holding out for more money than what hoffenheim have offered. We have offered more than the germans. We could be back in there. This boy is gonna be a star so i certainly hope this is true.

20 Jul 2011 19:27:49
Any word on Pletikosa? Is it likely he will sign over the next few days. I have heard he has already had a medical. Is this correct? {Ed007's Note - The whole point of his so called "trial" was to check his fitness, there was never any question over his ability}
Believable23
Unbelievable3
Do you think he will sign this week as I am sure he will be a pretty fit guy. We really need a keeper as no one is convinced with Zaluska. {Ed007's Note - It is because he had a bad knee injury before he joined Spurs}

Heard from my mate who is in cardiff for the game. The rumour around cardiff is celtic are trying to agree wages with John Carew who is a free agent at the moment. Not sure if would be a good signing. Was on loan at Stoke last season.
Believable12
Unbelievable26
Carew is the most over rated player in europe. I would rather 2 goals a season samaras than that numpty. He's guff, if he joins Celtic im sellin my season ticket. Hopeless
Agree0
Disagree0
Good we don't need clowns like you in paradise and do me a favour take samaras with you eh. Carew would be a cracking player in the spl in my opinion
Agree0
Disagree0
Now now girls stop bitchin as far as i'm concerned you can take both f them and stick them where the sun don't shine
Agree0
Disagree0
Ed, why are the updates taking so long to appear? {Ed007's Note - I have no idea??}
Agree0
Disagree0
I posted this 3 weeks ago but it was never put up Lawwall contacted Carew's agent about his availability He was told Carew was on a family hoilday buy would return mid July and they would be willing to sit down and discuss a move He would be a cracking signing {Ed007's Note - It has been posted numerous times about Carew, and you haven't left a name}
Agree0
Disagree0
The QE2turns faster than carew. Villa song. We don't need another carthorse, has been. He is about as agile as a breeze block. We should be after some quality 24-25 year olds that can do a job for few years and get sold on for a profit. That's the way of the SPL. No point wasting money on has Beens. What you reckon ed.
Heeeeeed {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't like Carew signed up either, I never thought he was that good TBH}
Agree0
Disagree0
2goals in 26 games last season. None in 13 for villa. Shipped him off to Stoke. 2 in 13. 1 in league 1 in fa cup and if i remember it was against some hopeless mob and a tap in. He was so bad that emile heskey took his starting place in the villa team. That says it all for me The guy is well past his very average best

CELTICNEWS,
Rumours from Peterborough are Lee tomlin is interesting celtic football club.
The player would be desperate for something to happen whether the club are is another matter
He fits lennons bill of young and a very decent player , who was being looked at by other clubs last year. ASWEDE

I heard rumours last month about a kid named Rhys Williamson-murrell signing when his contract was up. Was this just C**p? {Ed007's Note - No he has signed but he is only a youth player}

CELTICNEWS ,
I understand Stipe pletikosa is in talks now regarding a 2 year deal with a years extension if the club want it.
This should be concluded in the next 24 hours , he will make the trip to cardiff but whether he plays any part will be up to lennon.ASWEDE

Is this true aboot this keeper cause a watched play for spurs wan nite maybe the only nite he played for spurs and he lookd class maybe a we bit better than at gomes so heres hopen ? could some get back to me on is ?
Agree0
Disagree0
He only played once for Spurs and they got humped 4 - 1 by Arsenal in the cup. That doesn't however take away the fact that he is an excellent goalkeeper.
TrampsPants {Ed007's Note - His "trial" is more about checking on his fitness than anything to do with his ability}
Agree0
Disagree0
He only played one game for Spurs and let in 4 against Arsenal
Agree0

2 of the goals against arsenal were penalties , and the other 2 he didnt have a chanceASWEDE
Agree0

I'd rather have Stij out of the two keepers on trail.
Unless we can bring back Boruc
DazzaBhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
Bring back boruc I don't want him back . we need to move on and improve as a squad and better better players each year so why go backwards

I hope we sign Stipe and he can be the keeper we really need. Hail Hail

james mcfadden on way from birmingham training camp 2 meet up with petrer lawell in cardiff defo very good source also reo coker on radar as replacement for kayal
Believable9
Unbelievable59
Yet more b/s being posted
who is your source if your source is so good name them
cfc1888 {Ed007's Note - Reo Coker was given a free transfer by AV because he refused to drop his 85k a week wages}
Agree0
Disagree0
Reo coker is on 80grand a week and has trouble finding a new club as no one is willing to meet these demands, kayak is still under contract for 2-3 years and mc fadden is a waste of space he is just another maloney always injured and will never be a regular unless its a bench warmer
Agree0
Disagree0
Total bullsht. Don't need him, don't want him. Do you think he would keep Commons out the team? Me neither.
Agree0
Disagree0
Reo-Coker is a fine player however he was also reportedly on 70k p/w at Villa, we simply cannot afford that
Agree0
Disagree0
Exactly ed bulls**t
like celtic r gonna fork out that sort of wage for reo cker
cfc1888
Agree0
Disagree0
Do we really want McFadden? injured, unfit, lacks game time. mmmmmmmmm No I don't think so.
Agree0
Disagree0
McFadden is a player i like/liked. The gut earlier asking if he'd keep Kommons out the team? You're right, the answer is no. As for Reo Coker, he has no real qualities to make an impact in a game. Kayal is worth more than twice Reo Coker, yet we could get away with paying him less than half what Nigel is on.
Agree0
Disagree0
Agree totally cfc1888.....we dont need either of these players, why buy spam (Reo Coker & McFadden) when we already have steak (Kayal & Commons)

We will listen to offers for:
Cervi, Cha, Loovens, Hooiveld, O'Dea, Thompson, Juarez, Maloney, McCourt, Towell, Samaras, Murphy and Rasmussen
And we are still targeting:
Goalkeeper, Center half and Center forward
Believable50
Unbelievable18
Cha O'Dea and Juarez staying wouldnt be a bad thing the rest can get to..
Agree0
Disagree0
Paddy is going nowhere and should be first pick on the right wing, swaping over with Commons like we used to do with Aiden and Naka. But, the rest should go. We need a big centre forward to play with Hooper not this wee South African fella.
Anton Brennan
Agree0
Disagree0
Cha and juarez, i would be happy if Celtic gave these boys another chance. Cha was doing well till he got injured and wilsons good form.
Is it just me or is it a bit of a coincidence juarez fell out of favour after mexico national team scandal? didnt think he was that bad a player.
Rasmussen id give him a chance untill January to prove his worth.
The rest especially maloney who i didnt want back in 1st place can do 1
Agree0
Disagree0
Anton, Sammy is perfect. Just needs to be more consistent
Agree0
Disagree0
Only half these guys are on managers list to move on as there will be games when a few will be needed,
ktf davybhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
Juarez is a superb player, seen him in gold cup. We should keep him, i'd let the rest go.
DazzaBhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
Out of that lot I would keep Loovens(if he can stay clear of injury I still think he can make it at celtic, he is a dutch international ffs). Keep Sammy for European and old firm games and McCourt as a super sub. The rest we dont need
Agree0
Disagree0
Have to give juarez another try, he will come good
Agree0
Disagree0
Agree with a few different bits here, Juarez, Cha (if he can play on both sides) and Rasmussen (if we can ship Samaras & Murphy) should stay, the rest I just don't fancy.
Shaunybhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
None of these guys have had a major or minor part to play in last season so I don't see any reason to not believe this post
Agree0
Disagree0
Id pay to get rid of loovens Hes a disaster waitin to happen but jaurez is a great wee player hes just just unlucky that he joined at the same time as kayal ledley and ki If stokes sorts his attitude out him and hooper would be a phenomanal partnership plus id sell cha purely bcos matthews is younger with alot more potential and wilson is playin well also
Agree0
Disagree0
Loovens is a joke - his concentration skills are zero and, like that eejit Caldwell, always makes a big mistake. He's never played a decent games against Rangers, so for that reason alone, he has to go.
Juarez deserves a chance in midfield. He looked our best prospect at the start of the season. As for Sammy being perfect, he's lazy, selfish and has the wrong attitude for a big striker. We need a Sutton type not a big Jesse that plays once or twice a season.
Anton Brennan
Agree0
Disagree0
Stokes and Hooper all the way. Would agree we need a goalscoring target man to change things round a bit however am a wee bit sick of people writing Stokesy off. He's just as good as Hooper at this level and if anything else they work really really well together. Juarez was fantastic for us in Europe and believe me Lennon will have this in mind. Maloney will get one more season to prove his fitness, when he's fit, he's phenomenal and O'Dea will certainly stay if Hooiveld and Loovens can be offloaded. Samaras will also stay - like it or not, he's got a big role to play for us.
Agree0
Disagree0
True Anton.....but who would you have beside Hooper?
DazzaBhoy
Agree0
Disagree0
Id carry maloney on my back to whatever club wants him. he should never of been resigned from aston villa. he made a fuss about wanting to join oneil at villa and quickly found the grass isnt always greener
Agree0
Disagree0
Stokes is the best partner we have for Hooper at the moment. But, when things aren't going Stokes' way he chucks it every time. I definately think Hooper would be even better with a grafter up with him. I would like to see if big Rasmussen could play with Hooper, but Lennon doesn't rate him so that ain't going to happen. Steven Fletcher would have been perfect foil for him - we should have signed him along with James McCarthy when they were cheap.
Anton Brennan
Agree0
Disagree0
O'Dea has already said that if he won't get first team football then he will leave, and won't accept another loan deal.
It is simple in my eyes folks. Loovens and Maloney have 1 year left on their contracts, so will see it out and then leave next summer(unless Maloney drastically improves). As for the others I'd get rid of O'Dea, Hooiveld, Murphy, Cervi and send Josh Thompson and Ritchie Towell out on loan.
Agree0
Disagree0
Fletcher would have been good, Stokes needs to pull his finger out and grow up, looked good last night though. I would happily give Sammy a free to get him off the wages. Would love to see Shane Long or De Nigris aside Hooper
DazzaBhoy {Ed007's Note - Morning Dazza, Reading are looking for ridiculous money for Shane Long now, that is why no EPL team have tried to sign him, last quote was 10 million!}
