Fraser Forster signed from Newcastle on loan. New number 7 to follow shortly! Very likely to be Robbie Keane. .!

Stop dreaming that Keane is going to Celtic, get over it and post something a bit more realistic. Mjallby said that Keane was out of their price range and they would need to hope for a loan deal again.

Bit of rumour going round that Keane had bust up with joe jordan and isn't injured, spurs wanted to swap keane for west ham's parker but keane won't go, celtic had £5.75m bid turned down for keane.Looks like it could run this story, keane not wanting to go to low epl club, and spurs want to sell, couls still have keane and celtic park yet.

Celtic have money to spend, in fact we can field two teams, there are many players who won't feature in the first team this season, so in order to bring new players in, Lennon will have to either sell or send players on loan. places need to be freed so there will be at least 3 in and 3 out, before transfer window, and 1 will be a big name signing, for No 7 shirt
so possibly Crosas, Loovens, Wilson out, McGinn on loan, possibly Cervi if we get GK

Celtic have no money to spend, Lennon came out and said they have to sell before they can bring anyone in, I know there are some thick Jakey Tims on here, but come on the Celtic board have spoken to Lennon, NO MORE MONEY LEFT! !, the tin's empty, christ even Rangers still have money to spend, after spending £6m+, and they said we were skint, eh Selltic??
I just heard, with Celtic's fallen season ticket sales, as was evident yesterday 45,000?(cap 61.832) and the possibilty of Celtic crashing out of Europe against Utrecht, the board will force Lennon to sell at least 5/6 players to help balance the books, all is not well behind the scenes at Parkhead, let's hear the denials bhoys, even though you know it's true!

Celtic Rumours
This post may bore people with its length but thought it might be good to summarise some of the weekends transfer activity at Celtic Park.

I was 100% correct with Majstorovic, Izaguirre and Josh Thompson the last time [wooot go me. .] but as most of this is paper speculation I highly doubt it, although I fully expect at least a few of the following players to be involved in transfers to/from Celtic park.

Outs:
Glenn Loovens - Cardiff on loan, and (the hear-say bit) apparently nearly a done deal.
Sources: Scotland on Sunday, Wales online.
Notes: He wasn't selected today on the bench.

Marc-Antoine Fortuné - West Brom, £2.5M(+).
I'm going to be a bit different here and say that this is not actually in the process of taking place, for a number of reasons:
1) He's been a regular so far this season and is playing well and I definitely think he's got a part to play and believe Lennon thinks the same.
2) I don't see why we'd buy for £4.XM and sell for £2.5M only a season later unless there are add-ons involved (although I suppose 2.5M would go 50% of the way towards paying the reported 5M debt).
3) One cited article is formatted almost as a carbon copy of the format used in a Football Manager 2010 rumour. Addict here, go figure.
Regardless, sources: Goal.com, Daily Mail, Birmingham Mail.

Marc Crosas - Anything I've heard has been hearsay, and he's said publicly he doesn't want to leave (SkySports, May 2010). However, Lennon is apparently looking to offload some players though to generate transfer kitty (News of the World, 22/08/10) so he might be one of them given the number of midfielders. I reckon he may still have a peripheral part to play though, so 50/50 for me depending on advancements with other signings.
Notes: Wasn't selected today.

Ins:
Lennon looking to make 3 signings (News of the World, 22/08/10) pending departures. From what he's said, this definitely includes a goalkeeper and a striker.

Dani Aranzubia - Deportivo. Apparently Celtic agreed a fee for him, but I've heard nothing more. He's a goalkeeper, and a cracking one at that.
Source, STV Sport.

Looks unlikely though as it seems we've almost signed. .

Frazer Forster - Newcastle, season long loan. Looking to be completed by Monday; and Lennon has apparently confirmed the intention to sign him during interview.
Source: BBC, STV Sport.

Kelvin Wilson - Nottingham Forest.
Notes: Following the departure of Glenn Loovens.
Source: Mail on Sunday.

Joseph Yobo - Everton (loan).
Source: BBC.

Amato Ciciretti and Alessandro Orchi - Two Roma youngsters (16). Can't really say much more as I know nothing about them other than I reckon they'll be hot prospects rather than 1st teamers if deals go through.
Source: Tribal Football.

Other unsourced hearsay rumours include the usual Ivan Ramis (Mallorca, 1.5M), Sean St. Ledger (Preston, 3M), Shay Given (loan) and Robbie Keane (loan) but for me Ramis/St. Ledger are just skeletons dug back up from the last window, Given is probably not going anywhere, and Keane is just pie in the sky.

I've also heard some laughable rumours regarding Arsenal's intention to sign Effrain Juarez (Givemefootball.com, Scottish Sun) and for Celtic to go back in for David James given Bristol's managerial crisis but I'll eat my scarf and buy a season ticket at Ibrox if any of these actually happen.

Some selected ones on here:
Bojan - Heard nothing, would love and wouldn't write it off entirely it but probably another skeleton and definitely a long shot so going to say no, especially if we sell his buddy Crosas.
Vela - Arsenal 1st teamer even if a fringe player, pie in the sky based on Juarez being here, no.
Cervi - Napoli. We've 2 keepers; 3 after bringing one in and Napoli can do better than a 3rd choice SPL keeper. No.
Gudjohnsson - For me, not as outlandish as it might seem. . No source found though although we have been linked before. Skeleton?
Hutton - I lol'd.

M.Crosas to mallorca 1.8m euros -possible
F.Adu to celtic 2.9m- no chance
Bojan Krkic to celtic 12month loan-doubt it
R.Keane to celtic 7m-possible
loovens to cardiff 12 month loan- likely
st ledger to celtic 2.3m- hope not

Ssn have just announced that ranger's are in talks with the jacksons over a loan deal with bubbles

i thought they signed him 2 years ago and he now calls himself maurice

SORRY ED THIS IS QUITE CLEARLY RACIST, AND FROM THE GREAT UNWASHED IT IS EVEN MORE OFFENSIVE {editor's note - my bad, misread that as him talking about Maurice being one of the Jacksons, not as Bubbles. I was thinking that maybe he looks like one of the Jacksons. Sorry!}

23 Aug 2010 00:06:56
Reason loovens was not playing today he is set for cardiff city, also been 2 bids for fortune and crosas, expect crosas and loovens to leave this week unsure if fortune will lleave as looks like found the perfect position for him wide right hail hail

Kelvin wilson 2 celtic, source=former player

22 Aug 2010 23:55:55
Right get some facts straight and no one talking about first. .


Were suppose to be signing a good number 1 goalkeeper so why are we signing somone that's 3rd choice at a team that's only just been promoted to epl and hes been on loan to stockport and bristol rovers so much for aiming a bit higher lot of bull we should of got given.
word is that bojan krkic is coming to celtic on 12month loan deal because of the good relation we have with barcelona and with them signing villa was going to be hard so expect it to break on deadline day.


now you are saying why we gettin a keeper that 3rd tear, right for those who don't know, forster, got player of the year at norwich in the championship, had the most clean sheets, also got the golden gloves. given would cost us a fortune, and we are getting forster with right to buy at end of loan, what point of bringing in given, he not our player and we want to buid a team. he is 22 years old, fantastic shot stopper, awesome at crosses becasue of 6 feet 7 but great hands, also fantastic at one on one, this is a keeper for the future and has been tipped as a future number one of england, so before say he s* t, check first to see who he is and what he is like. to many talk about players before they know anything about players, has any of lennons signings been s* t no, and there all in early 20's too so he building a team for now and the future, and i for like this signing as i think its a much better than one, and he much better than westwood of coventry?. and where you gettin bojan, lived in barcelona for 2 years, coming back this year to live again, you mad, bojan is very simalar to messi, size, speed, touch and is amazing talent there is no way in hell we going to get the prodigy? use are mad
