Guys, I am in no claiming to be the man in the know about exact player dealings at Celtic. However I have spoke to a few people with good Celtic connections and they are saying there is no way that Dembele will be sold in this window. Hopefully these stories are no more than rumours. Apparently Celtic will get a minimum of 3 players in, CB, winger and a midfielder. Let's see what happens, Hail Hail.

Agreed. After the summer we have had, if we sell, there will be an effing riot round Peter's hoose.

Sack the board

Would be surprised if Dembele was sold this window. If their was a ridiculous offer put in you never know. 25million?

I can't see him going for 15m imo and that's what's reported.

No right back? 😭😭.

Don't know about anyone else like but I've always thought that big Moussa will sign a new contract and still believe he will 💚🍀 HH.

Selling him before our next two games, while Eddy is injured is too risky; but the board will never knock back £15-20m after losing out on the CL, so it's going to be a nervy week of waiting and hoping, regarding possible ins and outs.

Of course we are all disappointed with the lack of movement bringing players in, thankfully we haven't loss any key players yet apart from maybe Armstrong .
We also should remember that we turned down a substantial ( said to be £9m ) for Boyata . We are unlikely to recoup even the half of this, so I don't think it's all down to greed by Lawwell, there is more to it . I think the players we really want, think they should be playing in the EPL or some of the glamour clubs on the continent . It seems exceptionally difficult to get a bit of decent quality in .
It certainly doesn't seem to be getting any easier to move on players we no longer want.

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently being linked to a season long loan for Benkovic if Boyata leaves. Yet to make Leicesters squad since signing for £13m on a 5 year deal.

We'll need to do something as I don't fancy putting our defence without boyata into the people game. Even if we get new players in n sell boyata what a baptism of fire for the new guy/ s, club have dithered here giving little to no time to bed in players is a joke.

Not that it wasn't obvious, but it is Abundantly clear their has been no CH signing strategy this year. Basic planning would know contracts and players situation, dates of key games and dates of window to get players in and ready for key fixtures. Everything we are doing now is rushed n reactionary, bad enough it wasn't sorted for CL qualifications, if we go into the first Derby with hendry, ajer n jozo as only CHs options then someone at celtic needs to be taken to task.

27 Aug 2018 08:37:02
Didn't we try to sign him before he went there?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 09:08:20
Yeah we've been linked with him for a few seasons. But clearly out of our price range. I got some stick in work when we was knocked out of CL as all the guys support Leicester so I was saying you lot can loan us Benkovic seeing as he's not making the squad. Again though it's a loan answer isn't immediately solving the CB issue but he is quality. Come the CL qualifiers next season (potentially) are we going to try qualify being short at the back again.

Agree Kmax and Jozo or Boyata didn't exactly cover themselves in glory last season against them in the 3-2 game.

Watching last night's Sportscene and it's the first time I have seen Sevco Steve's team so far. They reminded me of the Jock Wallace side of the 70's power and pace, kick and rush football and although I thought Motherwell looked to have outplayed them (particularly in the second half) , we will need to be strong and especially quick at the back down either wing to cut out crosses.
Apart from that if you look at the bigger picture, OK we have had defensive problems and our strikers/ attackers are off the boil; but we have dominated possession in almost every game and a better final ball and finishing will make all the difference.
The best TRIFC 2012 team ever assembled have just conceded three and sit a point behind a struggling Celtic - what's all the fuss?

So is the window shut this Friday?

Aye MP.

27 Aug 2018 16:28:53
I have no doubt that he is a good player but I don't think it says a lot about our scouting system/ board just now if at this late in the window all we can come up with as a loan signing I am sure there is good / better CBs than what we have out there that we can afford to be our player not just to panic loan to try to appease the supporters YES we had one of the best defence records last year but in Europe we were found out badly I for one am still angry we did not fix that AT THE START OF THE WINDOW we might have still been in the CL qualifiers if we had.

Benkovic? a guy the board refused to pay about £5-6 million for?

Lol, typical board behaviour.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2018 07:06:40
We were told the price was 20 million euros.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2018 18:06:06
We have given new players baptisms of fire in matches against Rangers1872 before without any obvious problems.

Seen this about the guy we are meant to be interested in. Samir Memisevic has been awarded the Man of the match as FC Groningen beat De Graafschap 1-0.

- 13/ 16 tackles won.
- 8/ 9 aerial duels won.
- 6 clearances.
- 1 interception

Guy looks like he can defend. Also linked with French CB Moukoudi too. Boyata, Compper out. Moukoudi, Memišević in. one can hope.

Anybody know if there is any truth in these or just Twitter rumours?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 10:33:25
Memisevic link is nonsense. A celtic site said we shoukd sign him to be the next van Dijk purely because he plays for Groningen.

The Bosnian media obviously picked up on this and a day or 2 later ran with a story that we were interested in him.

I know I pointed that out the other day but it is a rumours site after all.

Liam Lindsay of Barnsley being discussed as a target.

We need a Marvin Andrews type of player sorry to use the big man as an example but put his head through everything mopped up at the back job done. I'm hoping this Celtic team are like a top class sports car that is out for a sunday drive and when the open road appears then it's boom we give it full welly as for PL no man is bigger than the club when it comes to holding back the cash that us fans are the foundation of Celtic fc no matter what if we need to shift someone out the door it will happen all I say is come next Sunday we will put the persons back in the rubbish hole the crawled out from underneath. WE ARE CELTIC WE ARE A FAMILY WE STICK TOGETHER!

Please don't be offended. But are you religious or from Trinidad and Tobago. Big Marv as poor as he was

I would never do his buddy John Hughes the disservice of wanting one stopper over another big yogi was every bit as mad and wore the hoops with pride and apparently had bigger balls than Marv. 😂

Give me Rieper Elliot or Mjallby.

I know am going to get slaughtered but here goes.
On top of a bad transfer window, rangers have spooked us.
Anyone denying it is kidding themself on.
We havent really had a great window under BR but as long as we knew they had no chance of catching us we were happy.
This time however in just one window it's clear for everyone to see there are going to take us all the way.

Not only has the window been bad, but I think what is worse is the boards lack of activity to try and react to wave of bad publicity they have come under from fans, media and pundits.

As for the players I bet they are praying new faces come in to freshen things up. but can anyone be sure this will happen.
Has the pretty bad mistakes made by BR in previous windows changed the way the board are thinking about is role.

After the moussoda affair, in which the club put a lot of time and effort into getting it over the line, along with the disaster that is commper and the form of Hendry given the board a headache over our transfer policy. Does the club want to take the power back.

Make no mistake about it these were BR signings.
With a week to go will be bring someone in who will go straight into the defence for the rangers game because that is what's needed.

spooked us with who?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 06:53:38
They’ve won one game in there first 3 league games. If anything it’s hearts that are flying atm. That Goldson couldn’t handle a bit of physicality.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 07:39:05
Spooked us 😂
Hearts have just as much chance of catching us.
Same crap we heard on here about how Aberdeen were going to catch us during Ronnies time.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 08:15:02
They're now seeing what it's like to play midweek and at the weekend. not quite as easy as they made it out to be. If they do qualify they'll drop a lot of points as they don't have a big enough squad. If Gerrard thinks he can lose all 4 to us and still win the league he'll need to be winning these kind of games against your Motherwells and Aberdeens otherwise he'll be in for a shock.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 11:36:48
How have they spooked us they have conceded 4 goals in the league we have conceded 2 and WE are supposed to have a rubbish defence.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2018 12:04:06
They have won 1 drawn 2 if this is the former based on this would accrue around 62 points. Defensively poor conceding every game irregardless of what the papers are saying about their defence.

Agree0 Disagree0
