I see our Portugal scout has came off the golf course to take in another benfica game tonight. Any idea who we could be watching?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 Aug 2016 07:47:16
Maybe the same guy we have been watching for the past 2 years but we don't or won't move for.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 08:40:47
The good old "Benfica game" scout.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 09:09:30
Who is this scout? Lol! I've heard about this guy for the past 3 or 4 years! And all he's gave us is amido balde! 😱😱😂😂😂😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 09:21:01
He's a lazy Scout that one! Bet he lives in Lisbon so it just Easier to go to all the Benfica games! Or it's some chancer who gets in to games saying he's a Celtic Scout lol.

I see we are being linked with James McCarthy from Everton for £5 million.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

21 Aug 2016 19:25:01
5 million! Aye right then. think u can add a 2 in front of the 5 and u mite be a bit closer to what he would cost!

Agree3 Disagree2

21 Aug 2016 19:44:49
Saw that as well mate, stormed out yesterday apparently, 5 mill would b a steal.

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Aug 2016 19:52:08
Appently he stormed out of the stadium after being subbed off yesterday and only has a year to run on his contract, will be on a fortune as a weekly wage but could happen if he wants to come back up the road.

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Aug 2016 19:58:22
Has been told he's no place at Everton. Only playing just now covering for Coleman at right (wing) back because he's out.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 19:59:10
Sad that he was a player we could have bought for half of the 5 million years ago.

Just can't see this one but some great rumours the last few days.

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Aug 2016 19:59:23
This rumour seems to be picking up a bit of momentum,
He is not getting on with Koemen by all accounts and left the stadium early after being subbed. Don't think we can afford him and is he what we need? I know he is a big big Celtic man so we would not need to convince him to come!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 20:07:12
Agree with him being a supporter part gaz just can't see him wanting to come back to scottish football at this early stage of his career can honestly see him ending up at someone like west ham we're arsenal not interested as well.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 20:33:31
Listen lads this ain't happening he is on 70K a week and if leaves Everton will have plenty of premiership teams chasing Arsenal being 1. Maybe in a few years he may come to Celtic but not now.

Agree0 Disagree5

21 Aug 2016 20:49:35
He won't be short of offers if Everton do sell him! Either way I would expect him to be in the EPL next season.

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Aug 2016 21:11:08
I think the closer we get to ten in a row we might attract bigger and bigger names.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 22:18:59
Not saying any of this is true but he's been in England for 7 years maybe he wants to come home and win trophies with the club he supports.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 21:22:23
He's on 50k per week and under contract until 2020. Nearly the whole Everton team are on 40/ 50k per week, except Barry and Lukaku who are on around 60 and 80k. He's been poor for over a year now, I've also never seen him having a good game for Ireland - even Keane and O'Neil have hinted he's not fit enough, and pulls out with knocks that proper players would play with. He was good initially under Martinez, Spurs etc were interested, like I said though he's done nothing since, he's also only really done it under Martinez! Why does Koeman not fancy him? The lad from Villa that just got relegated has walked straight into the team before him! For me he's decent all round but not great at anything. He's not physical like a Wanyama or Kante, he's not a great passer, and his goal scoring record is a disgrace! He's a 2 goal a season man! Most centre halfs score more than that!

Agree1 Disagree2

21 Aug 2016 21:33:07
and why would bigger names be interested in ten in a row? It's CL football and massive wages the bigger players want! They don't care about 10 in a row!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 21:41:22
i don't think he will have lots of offers

his promise has diminished

he has not developed at a rapid rate

he is doing very well at £70k a week but i think it will be down hill from here

he won't be getting £70k elsewhere and I am prepared to bet on that

hes decent …noting more. nothing less…and also very slow for someone so young.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 22:42:07
This time tomorrow it will be Snodgrass. What will be will be gents.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 01:37:40
Stan i'd prefer snoddgrass but if Mccarthy comes up here for less money and wants to win trophies I'd take him in a minute.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 08:33:14
No happening.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 08:50:16
Heaney i'd take both, If we can't get Roberts to sign a permanent deal then Snodgrass should be our target. I rate McCarthy and on his day would walk into our midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 08:50:30
The kind of team I want has no room for him. £5m would get us a better player from Europe or anywhere than the hyper inflated prices and wages England pays for guys like McCarthy.

I have never watched him and hoped he played for us. Not once, so no way for me. Every £ is a prisoner for us and 5million of them then wages is far to much for a player who doesn't have a game changing level of skill.

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 13:46:36
It's not Snodgrass.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 14:52:02
Would rather snodgrass than that grass Wallace.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 16:41:41
Mccarthy and snodgrass are two completely different players our need is for a CM player and I think Mccarthy would cruise it up here in there with brown and Bitton.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 11:50:48
I would be massively surprised if balotelli rocked up at park head.
I would go as far as saying no chance.
Everyone the manager has brought in so far he has had a good working relationship with.
Balotelli and him don't.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

21 Aug 2016 17:05:39
Kev, Balotelli seems to be just another Islam Feruz or Nile Ranger kind of player. Bags of skill and talent but an attitude that would destroy the best dressing room in the country.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 11:20:22
BR must have told Steven Gerard that Commons is gone by end Aug, SG will come nowhere near the place if KC is here, some US blogs are now saying SG is on his way, he is not in contract extension talks, flat out said he is going home. Have not heard of any interest in KC?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Aug 2016 11:36:58
What's the relevance with Commons? I've been wanting Kris Commons gone for 2 years purely because he's only interested in himself and found his level years ago, - why would SG only come if he's gone though?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Let's just say WAG trouble with a smidgen of the 'glamorous' Liverpool underworld thrown in.}

21 Aug 2016 11:39:45
Can I ask why? What's the history between SG and KC?

I know it will never happen but I would like YaYa for one season! Steamroller right over Wee Joey,

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 11:46:51
********* TEXT DELETED ********

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - You'd actually be surprised, nay amazed, at how easy it is. And you'll find a hell of a lot of the story has been removed from Google searches. Who said super-injunction?}

21 Aug 2016 11:49:47
Rumors bn going around for a year that Alex and him were homesick and were wanting to come home once his contract was up which is before the end of the year. Did say he missed the CL and all the rest of it. Commons is a goner mate. At best he will be a number on a sheet but he is way to slow for BR so won't feature.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 12:01:18
I thought everybody knew about commons and Stevie G ED! lol. gerrard for me is done! How many 35 year olds are we wanting at the club honestly! I wand a quality midfielder in next to brown but Gerard ain't the answer!

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 12:09:02
Not that hard to find out. 😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It wasn't finding out I said was easy.}

21 Aug 2016 12:14:50
Agreed DH88-smashing player in his day but past his sell by date. Different story when experience needed at centre half signing Toure for least demanding position on the park but not for a midfielder.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 12:27:33
Been watching the galaxy games recently and sg is done he can't raise a gallop yet to see him burst into a sprint.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 13:16:52
You'd be lucky to get 25 games out of the 'older' centre mids we've been linked with. Yaya is the only one I'd really want but it will never happen. For me Lucas would be the ideal signing for that position, the perfect foil for Brown. can't see it though due to wages.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 19:10:39
Didn't Liverpool just block lucas from joining a Turkish side because they want to keep him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is injured.}

21 Aug 2016 13:49:27
Ah Ed i see what you did there.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 02:13:05
Was told tonight balotelli is due in next week, was told to keep quiet lol well c how it pans out.

Believable1 Unbelievable24

21 Aug 2016 02:51:38
Hope that's a genuine sign in or what's the du point?

Agree1 Disagree4

21 Aug 2016 03:04:56
Heard this as well, think it's actually realistic?

Agree0 Disagree6

21 Aug 2016 04:27:16
Wat do u mean?

Agree3 Disagree4

21 Aug 2016 05:34:47
He slated BR a few weeks ago in the press so I'd be surprised.

Agree7 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 05:44:50
No chance, tore into BR a few weeks back.

Agree6 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 08:19:26
Fecking hope not would be more bother than he is worth.

Agree7 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 09:17:17
Of whoever it is talking about getting balotelli in I would rather get Roberts on a permanent deal. That would be money well spent.

Agree7 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 10:01:37
Wouldn't touch balotelli with a barge pole more bother than he's worth and average pmayer.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 10:31:12
ive heard rumours from ya ya toure to robert snodgrass, loving this transfer window tbh, beats getting linked to the usual suspects, fletcher, keane etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 10:47:25
Him and roverseas don't get on.
So don't believe this.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 11:18:27
Ballotelli would be like cryptonite. All that this great club is built upon is not part of his make up. He is a parasite bent on destruction. He destroys teams, questions the authority of the club. No way not for me, rather have Ambrose at least he tries.

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Aug 2016 13:00:20
Personally can't see I myself, said that when I was told, but boy said it was a definite so that's why a posted it just to see how it unfolds, boy seemed pretty certain it was a done deal.

Agree0 Disagree1
