Seeing on Twitter that the Sinclair medical has been cancelled which suggests the deal is off, from someone who predicted the toure signing before anyone else, would've been a good signing, hopefully it's just getting pushed back.

I was hearing there was never a deal in place for Sinclair and it was all a rumour started on twitter.

Agree3 Disagree1

25 Jul 2016 02:49:44
What i was hearing seems to be true, reports in media that a bid of 2.75m was knocked back for Sinclair, so there was never any medical arranged, it would have been impossible anyway to have agreed terms with the boy, signed him, had a medical done all before a 2pm flight to Astana.

Agree2 Disagree1

It must be time to look elsewhere and sign Sinclair on a pre contract in January if he wants to join the best team in the world.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 08:51:50
Sinclair has 3 years left on his contract at Villa mate, won't be any pre contract until he's 30.

jamesbhoy67, do we not need to register players before this deadline in order to play them in the home game too though?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 10:58:30
Sorry thought it was one year left on his contact.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 11:06:57
JB, just seen we had another bid rejected so he won't be coming most likely as villa want 5 and we didn't even offer 3, looks like all that medical and wildcard talk was sadly made up by someone out there.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 11:07:54
Hearing that we are getting fed up with villa as they hinted these offers would be acceptable but then reject, we may look elsewhere, that would be so frustrating!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 11:08:46
I hope we don't go for a loan for a youngster with no games under his belt over Sinclair, that'd be a terrible decision.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 11:32:44
Aye they would need to be registered today to play in this round as a wildcard signing Kev. All this talk about agreed terms and an arranged medical for the boy was just crap made up on twitter, since no bid has been accepted by Villa the boy hasn't even been given permission to talk to Celtic yet. The only true part of the story is we are trying to sign him.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 14:32:55
Supposedly he's in Glasgow with hope we thrash out a deal today, anyone know any truth in this?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jul 2016 21:36:49
Is there any truth in a supposed second signing next week along with Sinclair? Bamford? If so would it be a loan?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

24 Jul 2016 20:35:56
Seen on a few sites that were after Paddy McNair from Man Utd think that would be a great signing the last McNair we had did not to bad though was a while ago.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

24 Jul 2016 20:56:44
Would this just b a loan? Would imagine a lot of teams would be interested, had a decent euros.

Agree2 Disagree0

24 Jul 2016 21:55:42
I don't rate him at all, I think it was desperation on Van Gaal's part, every other centre half was injured. As for the Euro's - he only played one game (the first) and was the worst player on the pitch. He got subbed, I'm sure it was at half time, and didn't play in the rest of the tournament! To top it off - he must be the only Paddy in the whole of N Ireland that's from the dark side.

Agree2 Disagree3

24 Jul 2016 20:18:46
A lot of talk tonight that there is no deal for Sinclair and never was, it seems there is more talk of Gnabry of Arsenal coming on loan, i suppose we will see what happens tomorrow and in the coming days.

personallyi don't care who else we sign signing someoneof toure class is great by me.

Believable8 Unbelievable3

Colin54: The signing do really need to be a lot above what we have, we have a few avarage players by our standards.

1 year deal with option of further year.

Agree1 Disagree4

24 Jul 2016 15:40:14
I was wondering about any option of an extension. Added wee bonus that.

Agree0 Disagree4

24 Jul 2016 16:02:23
Would also prefer Toure in a few years as defensive coach rather than Kennedy.

Agree2 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:21:34
Have yoy heard anything else on Bamford or Chabloah Skinnybhoy? Would be over the moon if we got the latter!

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:59:40
Nothing concrete tompo only from a few friends mentioning them.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 17:23:19
SB, I Heard Sinclairs medical at Ross Hall was cancelled yesterday, is it being moved to Lennoxtown or some other reason? You heard anything?

Agree0 Disagree2

24 Jul 2016 17:25:32
No worries bud cheers. Will be really happy with Sinclair a lot of folk forgetting how good a player he was and personally think he just made some bad career moves. If we can get his confidence back I think we will have a player we would never dream on getting in permanently under normal circumstances.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 19:59:42
I was speaking to a mate who is a big villa fan, he was gutted there was talk of Sinclair leaving, he felt he wasn't given a chance and said he was villas only decent player.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 10:26:59
Serge Gnabry in talks over loan deal.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

24 Jul 2016 11:18:31
Would this be instead of Sinclair? Unless we sign both and GMS and Forrest both leave.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 11:23:27
Boy is rapid, good deal if we can do it.

Agree0 Disagree2

24 Jul 2016 11:45:03
Is he a winger?

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 12:19:04
Lm67 Gnabry is in addition to Sinclair I would imagine Forrest and GMS are for the off.

Agree0 Disagree2

24 Jul 2016 12:48:37
I think if we get them 2, another centre back and a proper number 10, we'll be sorted!

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 13:04:37
Sinclair deal and personal terms agreed will be announced tomorrow.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 13:09:31
Is that from a legit source SB.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 13:17:18
100% Kev from a senior figure close to all transfer dealings within Celtic Park.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 13:29:41
Don't see why we would want to take a player on loan who got no game time last season when on loan at a fairly poor West Brom! Thought we were trying to trim the sqaud? Wouldn't be overly impressed with this one, just my opinion though!

Agree3 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 13:50:19
His loan at West Brom was cut short because he wasn't getting any game time.

Agree4 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 15:33:11
When I seen gnabry play for arsenal, he looked really good. He's definitely of better quality than what we have in that position. Any other news to speak of SB?

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:20:08
Am I not right in saying he can play up front as well as winger?

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:23:44
There are 2 lined up if we qualify for champions league Beardybhoy.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:30:39
Nice one, here's hoping! HH.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 16:51:18
Is it just me or do we really wants players to sign for Celtic IF we qualify for the Champions League?

2 other points on this

1) we won't know we have qualified until sometime at the end of August so what is to say these guys won't get a better offer in the meantime?

2) why build up our hopes with "what ifs"? The board have shafted the fans enough with mediocre players and knowing there will be a few players turning their back on us if we get put out is infuriating.

I would prefer players who want to play for Celtic REGARDLESS of 6 champions league games and guys who are willing to come to help us get there. I also don't fancy the old bullseye "here's what you could have won".

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jul 2016 18:22:48
Maybe it's loan deals and parent clubs are wanting cl experience
The boy from Arsenal for example.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Jul 2016 21:32:17
Marco

That would make SBs statement yesterday that we should worship Lawell even more embarrassing if he has lined us up 2 loan deals. Pi$$ing my pants in excitement of getting 2 more players in on loan at the detriment to our own players!

Agree0 Disagree0
