Ed I know they're maybe a year or two old but have you red Celtic Paranoia :The Laptop Loyal parts 1 and 2 . Im asking because it really opens your eyes up to who the press really pander to.Seen Stuttery,s column today ,it was like Mel Gibsons speech in Braveheart only it was a rallying call for "Alistair".......DH {Ed007's Note - Yes DH, I've read them.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

What did u think of them Im not much of a reader now but I found them a really good read .Maybe I'm biased cos I know the boy who put them together.........DH {Ed007's Note - They were interesting ;-)

celtic please sign salihi does what a striker should do and score goals he is also good in the air and at 6ft 1 he is not a small striker we could get rid of murphy and rasmussen to free up wages a steal at only 500k. another player I think we should look at is edgar from vitoria guimares dont know how much hed cost but quality striker could get rid of sammy to cover the cost. thoughts!

Believable14 Unbelievable1

Yeah with u mate think he would b good back up for hoops and stokes

Agree0 Disagree0

Sell the first choice winger to buy a back up striker? Doesnt make sense.

Sahili is tall but he is more of a poacher than a target man, doesnt do anything to help the team. Hooper holds the ball up better than this guy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Didn't do man utd any harm when they had cole and york upfront. salihi is very good in the air not just a poacher could be perfect for hooper 2 players who can get behind defences and im sure if we signed edgar he would not be a back up the guy is quality

Celtic set to sign pawel brozek just a medical to be done Henke7

Done deal for pawel to celtic on loan

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not...his scoring record is not great

Agree0 Disagree0

Just seen this on twitter

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not

Agree0 Disagree0

Look at his goal ratio for the team he played for most! wisla! 178 games 81 goals! just over 1 in 2, he moved to the turkish mob and has never had a chance there, the have altintop and yilmaz upfront these are 2 top quality strikers!

Agree0 Disagree0

I you tubed him and think well bring him on board,stef1967

Agree0 Disagree0

Altintop is at real madrid

Agree0 Disagree0

Altintop has a twin brother who used to play for schalke

nl is after a target man physical lead the line striker and in rudi vatas interview he spoke of sahili as a poacher like hooper , and said the reason why he has fallen out of favour at rapid is because he cant play role above which is what rapids coach wants to play ,and we need that alternitive also seeing as we play with two wingers , hooper stokes and sahili are maybe all too similar

Believable2 Unbelievable1

We dont need to play the target man role style, were top of the league, if he came in for reported 500k it would be as cover for hooper or stokes, we are 4 clear!, all we need is a covering striker and the leagues ours, our competition is dying day by day mon the hoops
willybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont understand your reasoning, why does being top of the league affect what we need in the team?

Are you Peter Lawell?

When We have to play against the Motherwells etc on terrible pitches we need a different option.

Agree0 Disagree0

No im not Peter Lawwell are you Neil Lennon? my reasoning is we are top of the league with the players weve got, weve just brought in ibrahim and commons is coming back to full fitness, so in my opinion we dont need to change our style of play at the moment! it would be nice to have a hartson sutton type striker but we dont need it right now in my opinion! Willybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Weve got brozek as cover for hooper and stokes now so that should be enough to win us the league!

Hi Ed sammys agent is saying on twitter that a striking is heading to Celtic have you heard anything Henke7 {Ed007's Note - Ask him on Twatter, not me.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Whos heading to celtic

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jan 2012 20:08:20
Ed - Any idea is Celtic are seriously interested in Salihi, and if not, what the reason is.

His scoring record in phenominal, and in the 69 league games he has played for Rapid Vienna he has scored 60 goals.

Decent height at 6' 1" and experienced at 28 years old. Wouldn't really have to worry about a resale value as he can be picked up for £500k.

Thanks. {Ed007's Note - His agent is touting him around so CFC will be aware of what kind of deal is required if they want to sign him.}

Believable6 Unbelievable2

27 Jan 2012 19:03:48
1st time post here. The name of the player we are trying to loan from the German league is pavel pogrebnyak from stuttgart. Its just a loan until end of season no chance of a permanent transfer! And this is unlike most other posts on here true!

Believable10 Unbelievable9

Someone else mentioned this guy a few days ago.

Agree0 Disagree0

Doubt it, think you.ve seen his name thrown round on the epl forums and added our name to the mix. a apologise if am wrong.

Ed you must have heard something about this? {Ed007's Note - Must I?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well lol you know what I mean! You seem to know if posts have any credibility? And I trust the person who told me this as he is usually spot on. {Ed007's Note - I trusted my next door neighbour's dog till it bit me on the ar5e. Everyone is guessing at who the player from the Bundesliga is, I honestly don't know who it is and I don't like guessing. If we are wrong we get endless posts giving us grief.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok. Great site by the way :) {Ed007's Note - Thanks.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed I know you arent in a postion to give us any names but do you have any idea of what stage this Budesliga striker deal is at? Enquiry, Bid, Contract, etc?

I know its not moved ahead lately but I was wondering what stage it was at?

Cheers,

Mac {Ed007's Note - I would say at the bid/contract stage.

Yeah, I mentioned this the other day, but only as a suggestion

after what lennon said today in his press conference ,do you think we will get a striker in this window.

Biscuit tin is welded shut again by liewell and co, if this bites us on the ar%e again for the 4th season running agent orange peter has to go, this liar has conned us year in year out and has single handedly kept the tax dodgers alive {Ed007's Note - What lies?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol@what lies, hibs wouldnt sell us fletcher, the fact is He tried to buy him on the cheap,
diawara had problems with a work permit, fact we never applied for one, liewell took the cheap option and signed a donkey in bangura whilst lennon was in portugal, kenny miller demanded to leave fact, liewell demanded miller go or rot with the youth team bhoys....need i go on and on

He has kept the shame alive and if the tax case goes against them, he will do everything he can to keep the cheating tax dodging b**tards in the SPL with the minimum of penalty {Ed007's Note - Fletcher was always going to England once the chance came up, and isn't it his job to try and get the best deal for a player? How could Diawara have problems with a work permit if one wasn't applied for, we never asked for the SFA endorsement needed to apply for a WP. Bangura was signed on the recommendation of Larsson, John Park and NL who both watched him (Park extensively scouted the player), who was the other options that were more expensive? Do you just judge players on their fee, Larsson, Lubo, Izaguirre etc etc. Kenny Miller.....so what, you believe the spin from his agent rather than the Chief Executive of the club you support? If PW DOES help Rangers, where is the lie in that? You do know that Fergus McCann had numerous meeting with David Murray and Rangers directors don't you? You see a pattern emerging here, you are not very good at this are you? So back to my original question, what lies?}

Agree0 Disagree0

To the quite obvious sleekit beastie from the darkside, no-one connected with celtic calls Peter Lawell, liewell, nor do we continue this nonsense about biscuit tins.

we can see right through your bitterness, rage, anger, disappointment and jealousy...we are not fooled.

Surley not again Ed? Carlos the Pitbull has flown home ? TTTS {Ed007's Note - True. After a two week trial, he has went home after his team, Motagua found out they couldn't pay a transfer fee.}

Believable13 Unbelievable1

Ed you are a complete an utter biased person
why cant you say the name RANGERS instead of THEM you are a complete clown
remember your club has also been in turmoil in MORE than one instance not just monetery issues {Ed007's Note - I thought meow-meow was banned? Where did I refer to Rangers as THEM? It is usually THAT I call them???? Why can't you TYPE without putting CERTAIN words IN capital LETTERS? If you are a Rangers fan you will know more than most about clowns so I will take your word for it, after all your club is a circus just now and funnier than any staged act or show I have seen.}

Believable5 Unbelievable1

If this is true it's pretty shocking really. Guy pays travel money, spends 2 weeks at another club then the club interested says "yeah we'd like to sign him but we'll offer you nothing for this guy, do you accept?"

What a waste of the players' and the Motagua's time. Did Rangers just expect that Motagua would give the guy away for free or hope that Claros would whinge and moan for a transfer to Scotland? And to dangle the carrot in front of Claros then offer nothing in terms of a fee is shameful to say the least.

been looking at jorge molinas stats and i dont think this guy is worth the 2.5 million supposedley asked ,hes thirty in april played lower league most of his career then 2nd division, now with betis last year scored 16 this year 2 league goals not exactly earth shattering , if he signs i hope im wrong but not too exited about his arrival, hope its paper talk

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Reminds me a wee bit like an older hooper just watched him there on youtube but not consistent enough though this season 14 apps 2 goals 0 assists 21 shots and last season there were a few penalties in his tally

Agree0 Disagree0

Have we watched him? Hope so if any bid made, can't get burned again, can't work out why we didn't look more at the Vienna striker, for 500k

ed007:just reading an article on sly sports re the tax case.they claim march 31 as the euro licence deadline not dec as i thought. your opinion would be welcome. green jhedi {Ed007's Note - That is the deadline, but the accounts must be signed off, and transparent as of the 31st of December the previous year.

Following the licensing decision by the decision-making body [the SFA in this instance], the licensee [Rangers] must promptly notify the licensor in writing about any subsequent events of major economic importance that may cast significant doubt upon the licensees ability to continue as a going concern until at least the end of the season for which the licence has been granted.


The licence applicant (Rangers, in this instance) must prove that as at 31 December of the year preceding the season to be licensed it has no payables overdue towards its employees as well as social and tax authorities in respect of contractual and legal obligations with its employees.


Applicant clubs must also, prepare and submit future financial information which is based on assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible actions by the management of the reporting entity.

The future financial information must include a brief description of each of the significant assumptions (by reference to the relevant aspects of historic financial and other information) that have been used to prepare the budgeted profit and loss account and cash flow statement, and also briefly describe the key risks that may affect the future financial results.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Why dont all you rockets talk about your own club. {Ed007's Note - Because it is better to laugh at Rangers since the twins got kicked out of Celebrity Big Brother. They had cracking ar5es and Rangers are just ar5es, see the link there? #shadenfreude mein Freund...I don't speak French, but I do kiss that way!}

Don't shoot the messenger heard a possible move for the boy lewandawski (spelling) from Dortmund I know it's prob BS but just thought I'd let u all know what I heard....jiggythetim (sterling stuff with the site ed) {Ed007's Note - Thanks Jiggy.}

Believable1 Unbelievable4

That name would tie in with the Polish striker i heard we are in talks with and Eds mention of a striker from the Bundesliga.Might be something in that.

Jungle Bhoy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that the same guy that was at southampton a few years back?he was decent.not sure hes good enough tae wear the hoops though

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm from Poland and I know that he would not move any where because: he is in first team for borussia in every game. If he gone move some where else before euro 2012 and he will be sitting on the bench he will lose his place in the national team and he all ready said no to Bayern Munich {Ed007's Note - Bayern said they never made an approach but I know where you are coming from.}

Believable3 Unbelievable4

27 Jan 2012 17:37:43
Caught a glimpse of NL on SSN saying that he would not be worried to go with existing squad if none of his current targets came to fruition etc.
Maybe a 'poker face' bluff or perhaps deals are proving hard to finalise. Personally I would be none too happy if we didn't go for a striker and a pre-contract with Templeton and that young Airdrie striker might be good business? What do the rest of you think? Do we have enough in the squad this time around?


Jungle Jim

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Can only do a pre-contract with Templeton one month before his contract expires.

We should buy him now as well as a striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

We need cover up front, if Hoops and Stokes get injured (god forbid) at the same time we will really struggle to score. I am a big fan of Sammy but he is not an SPL striker, away games in Europe he is our best option but he doesn't score enough against Scottish teams.

Bangura isnt an out an out goalscorer either he's a link man.

Mac

Agree0 Disagree0

Every manager says that it is hard to get who you really want in January . Although I am more disappointed we didnt sign a quality striker in the January that we signed Willo Flood , the leagues would have been done and dusted from then till now and they would probably be more in the grubber . I think we have enough in the tank to take the league this season but I would still like to see a sign of intent just to put the boot in . lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Lennon says its proving difficult to attract players to the club!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we do have enough, think bangura needs his chance when fit, c what he's made of

Agree0 Disagree0

We defo need a striker that is a must. same with you i would not be to happy if lennon didny bring one in and although templeton would be an amazing signing its not a must. would also be great to get wee donelly in and perhaps loan him back for the rest of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

Defo need a cf and would also bring in templeton he would be a good investment at probably no more than 1m, a couple of years we let James McCarthy slip through our grasp for about 2.5m and hes worth alot more now hope our board dont make the same mistake again.

Alrite ed,ive just heard a Polish striker is in talks with Celtic just now,any idea who as i wasnt told his name?Told by someone within the club.

Jungle Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - Pawel Brozek from Trabzonspor has been linked with a move to Scotland but it was meant to be Rangers that were interested.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

I was thinking of him myself but i suppose if he had the choice of signing for the Bhoys or Glasgows 4th team then there is no comparison.Maybe Rangers offered him minimum wage.

Jungle Bhoy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nowt special about him anyway. They can have him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007: dont know much about this guy ed any info? green jhedi {Ed007's Note - He is a 28yr old Polish international with 32 caps and 8 goals. He left Wislaw Krakaw in Poland last January, along with his twin brother Piotr (a LB) to join Trabzonspor for 2 million Euros (they were ready to sign a pre-contract with the Turkish club to join in the summer anyway), his record at Krakaw was 110 gaols in 246 games. Since his move he has scored 3 goals in 24 games.}

Why would you hope not? Have you seen him play?

Linnie88

I have not seen him play. He has scored 27 goals in 105 games. We need a striker with a better scoring pedigree than that.

Correct me if wrong Ed
The King of Kings record was 20 odd goals in 110 games at Feyenoord

oh that wee lob over Klos in the 6-2
thank you Wim Jansen

wee question ed.... A week or 2 ago neil lennon loses out on long term target diawara who was sold for 2million+ and noo thers reports tht we r after milina who is valued at 5 million :o dae ye think we will go through with it or is the papers just try tae sell more papers again by printing sh*t?

P.s the site is top notch ;)

martin1888 {Ed007's Note - I'm not sure CFC 'lost out' on Diawara as such. Once a La Liga team entered the race we were always up against it and I am not 100% sure the red tape issues had been sorted out. Nobody has confirmed that any deal was offered for him. None of NL's moves for players is any further down the line.}

Murphy should take up wrestling as no way he is a footballer 1 mill wasted quid on that coo

Ive posted on here before about that dumpling Murphy. Mate of mine is a Sunderland season ticket holder and couldnt beleive their luck in shifting him for 1M to us! He was absolute dire there . Up here and with a poorer standard than in the past he'd still struggle.
Ras never seemed to have had a real opp but then we're not seeing him on a training pitch daily. Banguara has a big question mark over him but if ure not getting game time then how can you make an impression? Still think we're light up front and have no plan B if things not going to plan. WOuld like to see a new CF and surely the board arent going to take a chance AGAIN. Another poster was spot on when he said if fletcher had been purchased instead of flood 3 year back we could have been on verge of 7 in a row with no way back for that mob

Agree0 Disagree0

Your probably right mate but that was down to the being tight, looks like there going to let us down once again. if we dont win the title and never got a good cf in this window then it will only be the board to blame. then they must go!

When Super Sally thought things couldn't get worse this happens.

Michael Uchebo has ended a trial spell with Rangers after just one day, according to the players agent.

The Nigerian striker, currently contracted to VVV-Venlo, arrived in Glasgow on Wednesday and trained at Murray Park on Thursday.

The Dutch club had said they hey had struck a deal with Rangers for the permanent transfer of the 6ft 6in player.

Uchebo though has cut short his time with the SPL side and his agent says his exit is down to a poor first impression of the club.

Michael was invited to come over by Ally McCoist, Uchebos agent, Tony Harris, When he got there, McCoist wasnt there.

Michael did not enjoy his Rangers experience. He didnt feel at home and wasnt comfortable.

The player informed Rangers he didnt want to return to training. Michael will now look at other options.

Hail Hail Daz the Hoopy

After I heard this last I did a bit of digging and had completely forgot that Jellylegs has previous with this sort of thing.
He handed in a transfer request at Rapid to come to The Shame so I wonder when the great "loyal" press will uncover he has done similar here.
Gues he doesn't fancy playing for teams of the ilk of West Ham!

Morning Ed. I've been impressed with the way Celtic are doing their transfer business with nothing coming out until we've got something tied up. It's starting to get to the business end of the transfer window and hopefully the hard work that is being done to sign a striker is edging towards a deal being done. Is there anything further you can share with us as this stage about how our quest for a striker is progressing? Thanks. {Ed007's Note - I still think there will be someone brought in.}

How excited am I about the transfer window??think Celtic will spend 10million on 3 players to bring the treble home and end rangers once and for all.the 1 player I know we're in for is holt and we're going up2 3.5 million for him. Hail hail rusty the tim

Believable0 Unbelievable24

Rusty: i admire your baiting of the dark side on their pages but are you mad? 3.5m for a 33 year old who isnt a certain start for norwich! c'mon mate green jhedi

Agree0 Disagree0

Grant holt is 30 mate.. every time i have watched him this season i have been impressed. good scoring record also for a big guy. im pretty sure he is there captain aswell so doubt he will be going cheap

Agree0 Disagree0

Norwich came out and said the other day that he is not for sale at any price. I hope we respect that as I expect clubs to repect our wishes regarding celtic players. Also Holt wants to stay

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant see the board spending 10 million imo 2-3 at most. Plus we dont need 3 players at this time just a big target man

A QUESTION:

Why are Celtic (allegedly) looking at Jorge Molina for a fee of between £2m and £3m or whatever when they could supposedly get a guy who's even more prolific in Hamdi Salihi for around £500k? Is there something about this guy that isn't good? He looks pretty OK to me when I've googled him and watched YouTube.

I think it is unbelievable that we haven't got him especially as all the other things people are saying regarding Molina

Agree0 Disagree0

Its simple. Sahili is not a target man, Molina is.

I seriously hope we dont sign molina...he looks average at best...theres no chance he'll settle this season...spanish players find it notoriouisly difficult to deal with the pace of the game and the weather. We need a big striker from britain who could do a job straight away. Not another bangura.

The problem is, big strikers from britain with a similar goals/game ratio are ludicrously overpriced, hence the reason why we are going for guys like this.

and i trust lenny's judgement more than i do from someone who has watched a guy on youtube

CELTIC have made their first move to sign Real Betis frontman Jorge Molina. Football development chief John Park has been in touch with the cash- strapped La Liga outfit.
Now Celts look set to table an offer before the transfer window closes on Tuesday night. But the Hoops fear being priced out of an agreement with some Betis directors believing that Molina is worth £5 MILLION .
Manager Neil Lennon has already brought in three new players but is keen to bolster his striker options.
Powerful targetman Molina, 29, fits the bill having hit 46 goals in two and a half seasons. A source close to Molina said: "We understand
that Celtic's John Park has been in talks with Betis about Jorge.
"If the club are prepared to sell him then he would be very interested in discussions with Celtic. But it is still early. "Celtic are trying to establish availability and price for the player who cost just £1 .5million from Spanish minnows Elche back in June 2010. And Molina still has a contract until 2014. But Betis, who are in administration, are sitting £60 million in debt and desperate for cash. Meanwhile, Daniel Majstorovic reckons his
horror injury was GOOD for him because he was able to keep training, The giant Swede could be in contention for a place against Falkirk on
Sunday in the League Cup semi-final at Hampden. He has been missing since the middle of last month after a clash of heads with St Johnstone's
David Robertson smashed his cheekbone. But the stopper said: "I broke my cheekbone, a piece of my jaw and had a fractured eye socket.
"They operated on me and put metal plates in the left side of my face and I will keep them in. "That' s why I do not need a mask when I play.
"But to be honest it was a good injury for me as I've been able to keep training along the way.
"It was only the first week that I had to take it calmly. It feels nice to be able to keep going and I feel stronger than ever. "If it was a muscle tear, you would be out for six to eight weeks and can not do anything.
"I was cautious in my first day back training, but I am fine now.
"The first three or four weeks are most critical,
but after that everything should be healed. I'm
ready to play this week."
And the Sweden international added: "We have
had 12 straight wins and have played
fantastically well. But nothing is won."
