hi guys does anyone think that jon daly would do a good job for us i think he is just what we need

Believable13 Unbelievable19

Personaly i think he would be another Chris Killen, Daryl Murphy type player who wouldnt be able to make the step up.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think hes in the same mould as Murphy to be honest mate, would rather they waited and signed better players on pre-contracts than buy avergae players remembering jon daly is 28, who would you take out the team to play him?
johnny

Agree0 Disagree0

I guess but apart from murphy who else is in that bracket and isn't that what celtic want

Agree0 Disagree0

You are having a real bad day mate, get a life//////////

Agree0 Disagree0

2 or 3 serious knee injuries and struggles to last 90mins another waste of space

Agree0 Disagree0

Not unless the SPL have a golfing league as well now

does anyone think bellamy would do a good job for celtic this year considering his wages are 90k? and hes 32.

And regarding earlier posts about a target man we have 2, in Samaras and Murphy, sammy is an enigma and murphy pretty sure isnt in lennys plans. I hope celtic can bring in a fresh face to strengthen our attack but i hope its money well spent and not just a player to keep us fans from moaning about the lack of transfers.If not i hope the starting pair is Hooper and Stokes, who together and score goals more than good enough for our league

how good is the american keeper Cervi? Zaluska was great for Utd, i personally dont want Forster back. There has to be better options out there, and is the Pletikosa deal totally dead ed?
johnny {Ed007's Note - NL has said that Pletikosa will not be offered a contract, so yes Johnny the deal is dead.}

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Cervi didn't put a foot wrong although anytime I've watched him his style has seemed a bit weird and as for first choice I don't know if he'd be up to the task. I remember watching him in a friendly last year and he reminded me of MaKalambay at Hibs although maybe it's just the similar height as MaKalambay was probably at least as tall as Cervi.

As for today he coped well with the minimal amount of stuff he had to deal with but on the flip side he was a bit quick to rush out the box for the ball in areas of very little threat. Again though it didn't cause us any bother.

Speaking of Forster - he had a shocker for Newcastle against Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

Seen zaluska in action yesterday in dublin.shocking error for inters 2nd goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he'll do a fantastic job. Couldn't care about the money. If we can spend it, so be it, we wouldn't get a better player for the price of a loan move. Simple as that. Just like Keane, he'd be the best quality player in the league. Even if he isn't physically what he was last time he was here, Craig showed just two seasons ago he was one of the best players in the EPL. Would give Lennon a real headache selecting from him, Stokes and Hooper. Which would be great.

Agree0 Disagree0

Giorgios Samaras to Zaragoza 1.5m
Daryll Murphy to Forrest 1m
Shaun Maloney to Newcastle 1.6m
Cha Du Ri to Wolfsburg 1.6m
Rolando Bianchi (torino) to Celtic 2.4m
Fraser Forster (newcastle) to Celtic 2m
Aldo De Nigris (Monterrey)to Celtic 1.5.m

Believable7 Unbelievable22

Did ye see big fraser today he dropped the ball which leeds scored from

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you have the prices mixed up with Rolando Bianchi, and Aldo De Nigris, De Nigris is a far better striker.MACCA

Agree0 Disagree0

How can you possibly be sure which players are leaving and to which clubs? If players were going to leave, they would have gone by now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Total crap you'll be lucky if any of these deals happen, no one in there right mind would pay 1.6m for maloney, torino's owner has said that bianca is not for sale, wolfsburg wont pay 1.6m for cha, samaras we will be lucky to give him away for free and for that big person foster did you see his howler against leeds he's 6ft6in and cant command his penalty box nor come for a cross ball and if he does he usually misses it or drops it total waste of 2m

Agree0 Disagree0

WOW amazing that you are so much in the know. Are you Peter Lawwell? Thanks Peter for taking the time to share this information with everybody.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 23:31:53
CELTICNEWS,
Dermot desmond and Cook [ man city] were playing golf together on friday Think this was to do with bellamy? ASWEDE {Ed007's Note - Was Mancini caddying for any of them?}

Believable8 Unbelievable6

31 Jul 2011 22:32:37
Think we must be struggling to move fringe players on we need to clear some space for new arrivals Im happy with the squad just want a keeper and a striker(target man) also would like someone to play with wilson at the back, but thats being gready.....

Is islam feruz still looking good for the youths?

brisolcelt {Ed007's Note - He has caught the eye of teams in the EPL already, including both Manchester teams.}

Believable8 Unbelievable0

Well lets hope he signs a contract with us when he comes of age heard somewhere he was kidnapped by man city to try and sign him prob more bull....bristolcelt {Ed007's Note - Youth players can sign a pre-contract to a club, Islam along with most CFC youth players have done this. His dream is to play for Man Utd but he and his family feel indebted to CFC for all their help and especially towards TB.}

Agree0 Disagree0

As for Feruz, he is on the way out, he has not been turning up to training FACT, also was seen in manhester when he asked for time off for a Family wedding,

looks like we will be losing him witch is a shame after all we have done for him.

also he does not even care about celtic he is only intrested in money

Agree0 Disagree0

Where is the proof hes not been turning up to training and as our ed has stated everything celtic and tb did to keep him and his family in the country ismam and his family love celtic and feel indebted to them

Gunner&atim

Agree0 Disagree0

Pretty sure Celtic had something to do Feruz with his families asylum application so don't think it will be cut and dry that he will leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree mate with struggling to move players out, with matthews now cha du ri hasnt got a future, loovens, murphy, rasmussen, maloney, samaras, zaluska, mcourt mulgrew... would welcome bids for any of these players.
when majstorvic is back it looks pretty good at the back with the youngsters with thompson, rogne , hooiveld ready to fill in, just want a good keeper and a speedy centre forward and id be happy knowing were moving in the right direction.

Agree0 Disagree0

You'd welcome bids for Mulgrew? are you thick?

Agree0 Disagree0

Just trust me on this 1 if you happen to know anyone at all involved with celtic ask them they will tell you the same, celtic have spent around 1million on this kid buying his family a home and playing a huge role in keeping him in the country, thanks to MR Burns,
he has already penned a pro deal with us but there is nothing stopping him walking away and that would leave us only getting compinsation,
i can assure you this is 100%
celtic are pleeding with him not to go but still not sure weather or not he will stay

Agree0 Disagree0

As soon as Islam hits 16 - some point this year I believe - we should throw him in the squad. I've seen him first hand and he was jaw droppingly brilliant

Agree0 Disagree0

Mulgrew would be first name on my team sheet every week and this is not a wind up
Scottybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Where would you put mulgrew in the team, as a cb? or Lb?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 22:19:21
Sportscene are reporting that Mancini has cleared the way for Bellamy to come on loan to Celtic Will do a good job when fit but he's not really the type of player up front, we are crying out for a good strong and quick target man imo.

Raff {Ed007's Note - It has nothing to do with Mancini, he doesn't want Bellamy at City, it is up to Garry Cook.}

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Ed maybe u cud just paste i big sign on the page so when every1 comes on they will be able to c that mancini cudn't care less where bellamy goes.

Drew

Agree0 Disagree0

Correct me if am wrong but is Mancini not the manager of man city? He says who goes and who doesn't and all I was posting was the facts that where on the tv, now no more smart arse comments {Ed007's Note - Mancini has already said he doesn't want Bellamy. He doesn't look after the clubs finances so it falls to Garry Cook if the club will subsidise the players wages. Mancini doesn't care where he goes, he is that far out the picture it is no longer Mancinis concern. It is down to the financial side of things which is Cooks department, not Mancinis.}

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 22:15:14
Quote From Mancini "If Celtic want Craig... he can go. Craig is a good striker and he can play at Celtic, because they're an important team."
But i think if he has the chance to go on loan again it would be cardiff. it seems its all down to Bellamy now. {Ed007's Note - Read down the page.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2011 21:57:53
swiss keeper benaglio is also a possibility but i think that would be £2m so some deadwood would need to go {Ed007's Note - Nonsense.}

Believable1 Unbelievable8

31 Jul 2011 21:47:39
keepers being looked at now are lee camp and brad jones. {Ed007's Note - Swansea had a bid of £1.8 million rejected for Camp and Steve McClaren has said he is not for sale. As for Jones, for his own personal reasons I seriously doubt he would want to move so far away from Liverpool.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2011 20:32:45
Lenny will decide who we bring in not the media. If we look across the city they made more deals with the banker than Noel Edmonds has but then they bid 300,000 for Noel? Hunt I think. Looking at the pre season games so far we have too much pace and talent in the middle of the park to be worried. blood some of the youngsters and lets see what our celtic pools monies pay for.

Believable5 Unbelievable5

31 Jul 2011 20:15:28
Hi Bhoys first post on here, dont know if its been posted on here yet but got told from a friend that Bellamy and City are close to agreeing a £500k pay off to terminate his contract and leave him free to come to celtic {Ed007's Note - Welcome to the site, I doubt he would accept 500k as a pay off when his years wage is in excess of £4.6 million. As part of his contract with City the club had to provide him with accommodation also, last year on loan at Cardiff he lived in his own home, so now he is back at City he has told the club he needs a place to stay, which they are not happy about having to provide.}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Mate u cant come on here for the 1st time with a ridiculous post like that. Ur either a total bulls**tter or u just havn't thot thru ur mates bulls**t story 1st. As ed has rightly pointed out, the figures just dont add up.

Drew

Agree0 Disagree0

If City can get him off their books they will be VERY happy, if we get him we would slaughter the opposition, center back needed then the flag is comming home

Agree0 Disagree0

On sky sports transfer page bellamys manager said he would be happy to let him go out on loan to celtic as he is a good striker and deserves to be playing first team football {Ed007's Note - It isn't up to Mancini.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I would say bellamys the kind of guy that would accept that. hes made his millions now just wants 1st team football for his last couple of years. {Ed007's Note - Bellamy has said that he will NOT take a cut in wages to go anywhere, not even Cardiff. He said it would affect his charity, The Craig Bellamy Foundation. Bellamy is the kind of guy that loves money over anything else and he is a very stubborn character.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry if this upset u guys but I was only putting on what I was told, Im not on here to b*llsh*t or wind people up I actually thought this was a rumour page so I posted a rumour I heard Sorry I wont post again.

Cheers Stuart {Ed007's Note - It is a rumour Stuart, but they are posted for people to discuss etc, Please don't think it was a personal attack on you as such. I will say to you though that now you have used a name or "tag" people will respect your posts more and be happy to discuss/banter with you. Us editors find that posters who have the courage to leave a name are more accepted by all of the regulars. Please feel free to join in with anything, your opinion is welcome on here and you are entitled to it.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Ed, I was just taken aback with first reply about being a b*llsh*tter but its cool.
While im on just now I also heard that QPR had a scout at Wolves game to have a look at Loovens and were preparing a bid. {Ed007's Note - I heard that as well Stuart and that Wolves were interested in Samaras. If McCarthy pays for both of them he should be immediately inducted into the CFC Hall of Fame!!!}

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 20:11:21
Arthur gave us some great moments but their were a few clangers in there aswell. Overall a good servant for the club but it would the wrong move for him and the Celtic if he came back, he had his time. Manninger or pay up for big fragil forster.

Drew

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Has anyone seen big Forster's clangers today 1st one comes and drops The ball then gets nutmeged at his near post, bet we have him signed by Friday as Newcastle will be desperate to get shot of him now His kick outs are awful and any shot 10-15 yards out he can't get down to

Agree0 Disagree0

I would like to see Cervi get a chance. Zaluska had his and lost it but Cervi should get the next couple of games. Looked fine today but had nothing to do. Cant be any worse than Forster or Zaluska.

Agree0 Disagree0

Could be the perfect time for the big fella to return...under lenny...in whom we trust

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 19:54:12
Is it just me , or do other supporters think artur boruc could still do a job for us? Ed, is he available for a reasonable fee.and do you think he would come "home"?first time poster also. {Ed007's Note - Welcome. I doubt that Fiorentina would be willing to sell him and if they did there would be EPL teams who would be very interested. Arsenal reportedly enquired about him last month and Spurs and Everton have shown an interest.}

Believable5 Unbelievable6

I'm fairly certain Frey is going to be playing second fiddle to Boruc as of the new season. Can't remember where I read it but I read it recently somewhere so I can't ever see it happening. Shame, cos he was and still is a class goalie.

Bunny Munro

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs do my head in. they are interested in everyone. Harry must be after a million players so he can loan some to the dark side. Juan Mata is supposed to be close to signing for Arsenal and he suddenly comes out and says he wants him too. He wants Adebayour (sp) on loan - yeah right

Agree0 Disagree0

Frey signed for genoa last week so boruc is no.1 therefore would cost more than we can pay and i doubt he would leave serie a for the spl at this stage of his career

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 19:45:36
Bellamy was class but he has lost a yard of pace now plus he has bad knees and he was picking and choosing his games for Cardiff last year. Im sure there is just a lot of Celtic fans including myself that wud rather see Celtic spend the 2 mil that wud be Bellamys wages for the year on a younger striker with more potential with a selling on value in 2 or 3 years time.


Drew
Drew

Believable19 Unbelievable1

And dont forget hes only scored sumthing like 11 goals in 4 seasons, a dont and hope we dont get him. {Ed007's Note - Since he left CFC in 2005 he has scored 50 goals in 6 seasons.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats y said 4 seasons....please hope we dont

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 19:40:27
Ill take this 1 for u ed. MANCINI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BELLAMY DEAL, ITS GARRY COOK WHO WILL MAKE THE DECISION BUT JUST LIKE A MONTH AGO WAGES ARE STILL A MASSIVE PROBLEM

Drew {Ed007's Note - Thanks Drew, I already said it further down the page.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Cardiff gave 25k to help bellamy loan deal last year , celtic possibly around the same amount ASWEDE Wages wont be the problem......

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah i read, thought u mite just be gettin sick of sayin it.

Drew {Ed007's Note - LOL thanks :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Just thank god his name is not WHYTE or we would have no chance of him paying some of Bellamy's wages ha ha ha Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 19:36:10
Quotes from Mancini regarding Bellamy:

He would allow Bellamy to go to 'an important club like Celtic'

he had a 'ten minute conversation with Craig on Friday about his situation'


Bunny Munro

Believable9 Unbelievable1

31 Jul 2011 19:30:19
hi ed 1st time post;we should pay dundee, utd 3mil for goodwillie, also am sick of the pennypinching we need a keeper so we should just buy 1 have u heard anything on that {Ed007's Note - NL has said today that signing a GK is his priority: "This is a priority and we're back working on it tomorrow. The goalkeeping situation remains a priority". He also said that reports linking CFC with Colin Coosemans had no foundation. And welcome to the site.}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2011 19:24:42
Hi ed.

seen alot of p**h here talking bout bellamy and wud just like to say that none of the posters actually know wats going on. nl has only said he wud like to bring him in, nothing concrete yet so bhoys dont act like it is

that boy kearns that played left wing today looked quality (at least take another look at him celtic)

need to ship out deadwood first i think b4 we can bring other reasonable names in. wat do u think ed? {Ed007's Note - Mancini had a short meeting with Bellamy on Friday. In a press conference today he said he would be happy for Bellamy to go to CFC, but as I have said, the deal hinges on Garry Cook and whether he will sanction a loan deal and help in paying the players 90k a week wages.}

Believable7 Unbelievable1

31 Jul 2011 19:20:14
Anyone agree that Celtic should bid for Mario Kello from Hearts to solve this very serious goalkeeping problem we have? I have always been impressed with his displays every time i see him

Believable18 Unbelievable8

31 Jul 2011 19:03:58
Reports from a reliable source on twitter is that talks are well underway between Celtic and City over a season long loan for Beallamy and Manccini has given the a move a thumbs up, all down to the player now. {Ed007's Note - The deal has nothing to do with Mancini, he has made his feelings about Bellamy abundantly clear. The final decision will be made by Garry Cook.}

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Gary Cook was playing golf with DD on Friday in Dublin. Reported in the Telegraph

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 18:56:44
Hi Ed, How are you?

Have you heard anything about the GK situation? I remember reading about the young polish guy - any news? I heard NL saying that he was hopeful to have a new one by the Aberdeen game (god I hope so). Please tell me that you agree - Zaluska is not an option. {Ed007's Note - I'm good thanks. Hopefully someone will be signed up soon, Zaluska still looks shaky, I agree with you on that one. The Polish GK is called Gregorz Sandomierski.}

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Thanks Ed. Hopefully we will get someone in this week - I cannot cope watching another game with him in goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cervi looks a decent goalie he should be ahead of zaluska in the pecking order and get rid of zaluska and samarasand maloney if anyone will take them

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 18:27:35
As the striker saga continues....why don't we get Scott McDonald back? He was reliable when he was at Paradise.....51 goals in 88 games says it all....and I don't think he ever really wanted to leave in the first place. Thank you Mr. Mowbray

Believable12 Unbelievable7

WE have 2 really good strikers in Hoops and Stokes - GK is mor of a priority.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree was really shocked when we sold him, he was our top goal scorer and they sold him for peanuts

Agree0 Disagree0

I think so to i watched him the other day hes looken so sharp plus that person mowbray owes us a turn so he should not stand in his way we should put in a bid the mora play 3 up front we would win the league easy stokes hoops and mcdonald

Agree0 Disagree0

Wudn't call 3.5 mil for a striker in the spl average. I thot that was good money at the time. Not good enough for Celtic anyway. He did score goals but his all round play was questionable at best. No pace and his first touch was abysmal.

Drew

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldnt touch him, too much of a moan, stick with hooper and bring in a big guy to provide knock downs and lay offs for hooper. He'll score 50 a season if we could have Chris Sutton (at a decent age) back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Macdonald scored 25 goals in his first season 26 in his next 2 seasons NOT GOOD ENOUGH never bring him back

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 18:12:51
Hey Ed how are you? Do you know if there is I noted interested in Rolando Bianchi from Celtic or is it just a romour? Think he would be a right handy signing What do u think Ed?


Barrybhoy. {Ed007's Note - {Ed007's Note - The story started in the Italian press that CFC had contacted Torino regarding him. The Torino president Urbano Cairo has said about Bianchi and defender Angelo Ogbonna "For the time being I am keeping hold of them. They are super important players for a team with Torino's ambitions}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2011 17:38:46
Rolando Bianchi is on his way to celtic this week for talk as they torino have ment to have accepted a 2million bid from them source italy am here on holiday an the bar man was showin me there sports news husseklepp ment to away to another italian side on loan dunno if he takin the mick coz a dont understand italian soo i dunno wat there sayin he translating it all a saw was celtic an rolando bianchi hopefuly its true coz he would run riot up here {Ed007's Note - You are in Italy? Your IP address suggests otherwise.}

Believable8 Unbelievable5

R u sure it's not an italian restaurant in glasgow and you've had too much jungle juice. lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Rolando bianchi goin to celtic this week watch out u can come on an thank me when um right {Ed007's Note - We won't know who to send the flowers to, you didn't leave a name.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope this is true , he is good classy striker

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha busted ip addresses dont lie unlike yersel ya halfwit

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 16:15:47
Looks like we could be missing out on Bellamy aswell thankfully. Sunderland are looking to sign him on a permenant deal. They could pay him the majority of the money hes on at city and he wud also have the security of a 2 or 3 year deal at 32. No brainer for him i think. Not the player he was a few years ago so its not a great loss. Lets look for a target with a bit of youth and potential Celtic. Husseklep would be my pick.

Drew

Believable8 Unbelievable6

Sunderaldn can afford to buy him but they cannot affrod his wages either. He said he will not take a cut. Still sure he will go to Sunderland. In the same story Steve Bruce wants Adam Johnston - never going to happne and Mancini said yesterday Johnstone is staying - bad rporting.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope you're right. he's too old too injury prone and too expensive

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd pick the bloke from Torino (can't remeber his name) he looks the dogs dangly bits. {Ed007's Note - Rolando Bianchi.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I want Shane Long Rangers Nae Money managed to pay 4 million for Jelavic..c'mon Celtic show us the money

Agree0 Disagree0

And why would you want shane long ? very average striker and overpriced

Agree0 Disagree0

Shane long is a good player but hes never worth the 10 mil in total that reading are after.

Drew

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 16:06:38
Have to agree with Davy Provan. Should bring that boy Kearns over and have a another lokk at him, he was impressive 2day.

Drew

Believable22 Unbelievable2

Agreed to a certain degree, BUT another wide midfielder? Where are we gonna put him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Defo not a 1st team player obv, hes only 19. Can never have enough good players in ur squad tho.

Drew

Agree0 Disagree0

Another winger/midfielder are you kidding. lets concentrate on strengthening where we need to. gk and a striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah he looks a prospect and would be available for a pittance. I'd maybe get him signed up in time for next season so he can have another year of first team football as he would struggle to get in our team but there's every chance of us losing a few players next year.

Agree0 Disagree0

I like how direct his play is, much like templeton. if hes giving matthews a hard time (wales international) then he must have some potential

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 15:04:05
Hey ed, was there a reason my post about the inter keeper wasn't posted? if not could you post it to see what evertone else thinks {Ed007's Note - It was posted in the Banter section.}

Hi Ed first time poster not really a rumour more a question do you know how tlks went with man city today over the bellamy deal
Jack the Bhoy {Ed007's Note - Welcome to the site Jack, I have no details of how the talks went, sorry.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

31 Jul 2011 13:54:57
Ed we continue to pursue a new striker, I am sure I'm not the only one not happy at the bellamy link. Why is Rasmussen not being given a chanc, he's already on our books and given the chance I think he'll score goals. Bellamy is the same type of player as samaras/stokes, we need a target man who'll rough up defenders.

Believable17 Unbelievable1

There is no way that Bellamy is the same type of Player as Sammy or Stokes

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree 100%, with this, Samaras and Murphy will never get 20-25 goals a season, Rassmusen should be given a season to see how things go, Neil Lennon for some unknown reason plays Samaras, and he will never be a good goal scorer, he will miss more chances than he will score, get rid of him please.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 13:41:59
any links that can be used to watch the game on an iphone anybody? im at work and cant get it on the pc.

Logie67

Believable2 Unbelievable5

31 Jul 2011 13:24:06
Ed did you see game yesterday? Thought they played OK in spells, missed some good chances dear old Sammy he always looks as if he "might" score and never does, hope scouts watching dont know him and only saw him getting into good positions and offer us money for him, Maloney very poor, Zaluska couple of good saves but fragile confidence wise not Celtic standard. Brown almost caused a riot with his tackling, Today give young Cervi a chance in goal lets see if he can cope. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - The results in games like these don't really bother me Tim, it's just pre season games basically. Cervi is starting in goal today. There has also been a meeting with Man City over a loan deal for Bellamy, that I can confirm.}

Believable5 Unbelievable3

I really believe our money would be better spent elsewhere than Bellemy. If what I have read is true then he will only be in Glasgow half the week training and then the other half training with Cardif, Ed is this the case? what's your thoughts on Bellemy {Ed007's Note - I sincerely hope the stories about him only being here part time are wrong, if he wants to play for CFC he needs to move up here, nobody is bigger than the club and it shows a total lack of respect if he only comes up for a few days training and to play games. I personally am not over excited by the prospect of signing him, he is nowhere near the player he was as his recent scoring record show (50 goals in the last 6 seasons). I would prefer the money to be spent on a younger player who is here for a while and would have a sell on value if he caught the EPLs eye.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Brown was quite right to put in heavy tackles, the Inter players were at it from the start. Should have been more than one red card

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 13:12:13
Heskey maybe on his way too celtic as he just stated he luking for a new challenge an he quote there a team.outside the english football that have approuched with intrest in signing its us or rangers ment to be watch this space

Believable1 Unbelievable17

Are we the only teams in the worl out with English football? Heskey is past it and I don't believe for one minute that Celtic are interested in him or Rankers for that matter as his wages would be an issue

Agree0 Disagree0

I think celtic an the jam bums would b coz he type player the both need but end of the day he tooo old but cud stil dae a job me thinks for a season

Agree0 Disagree0

Husky is the worst striker in world football. There was a time when the Paraguay goalie and him had played the same number of games and the goalie had scored more goals then heskey. He took the free kicks ......remember. He signs I'm takin up golf.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 12:50:36
our goalkeeping problem could be solved go get ARTUR BORUC back.

Hey ED why have celtic not shown any interest in motherwell keeper Darren Randolph. As far as i can see he would surely do a job looked pretty solid for them last season. Im sure as well that wages and transfer fee would not be a stumbling block for this guy {Ed007's Note - He has been looked at.}

Believable1 Unbelievable13

Coz he's absolute pi5h, did you watch him against the shame last season? he makes zaluska look like peter shilton

Agree0 Disagree0

Afternoon bhoys what about cammy bell - looks like the best keeper in spl apart from the troubled one over ibrox way

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldnt sign him. Mark Brown and Zaluska looked good playing for ICT and Dundee United and they came to Celtic and were s***

Agree0 Disagree0

No just no he bottles it in bigger games eg concedes 7 at ibrox

Easy question... no offence intended.... If the hooped ones are all after samaras's head on a plate and consider him 'dead wood' why did your beloved Lennon sign him up for another 4 years??

Believable1 Unbelievable11

To get some money for him if he did go rather than let him leave on a free. if he goes we will get something.

Agree0 Disagree0

Because he scored two goals at Ibrox and ran your defence ragged.

Agree0 Disagree0

HA HA TWO MEANINGLESS GOAL MISSED AN IMPORTANT PENALTY NUGGET LOL

Agree0 Disagree0

On the Westham site that we are interested in Samaras. I would prefer that you kept him.

simple as this - get rid of:
Loovens
Samaras
Murphy
Maloney
And Bring in:
CB
Striker
Goalkeeper

Believable26 Unbelievable2

A dont no about loovens( YET) but the rest are bollocks

Agree0 Disagree0

Add

o'dea
hooiveld
rassmussen
thompson
cha
to the list as well

plus we should have sold mcginn and juarez not loaned them out and lastly liewell should be hunted as well, we as a club have rotted under this clown for the past 3 years, he was responsible for mowbray and the loss of 4IAR by NOT paying the extra 200 grand for steven fletcher and landing us with willo the wisp flood

no more squad players , surely after yesterday the board must see that we need quality gk, cb, fk. if they dont do this and the shame get more players in (at least they are trying ) then we become 2nd favorites for the title , and after that wait till 5, 6 in arow before the biscuit tin is opened

Believable8 Unbelievable5

We're only in the spl, it was a friendly and you wont be playing teams like inter every week in the spl

Agree0 Disagree0

It was the spl this squad bottled it in last season, mathews and wanyama are more PROJECTS and wont play every game this season so basically we have only added kelvin wilson, we've had an entire year to replace boruc with for me is impossible seeing as the THG is the best keeper the club has ever had, peter lawwell is the problem we have getting rid of him would go a long way to helping neil lennon, liewells ego is so big he actually thinks he is CELTIC

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop referring to all rangers fans as scotlands shame, , , some of your scum arent any better

Agree0 Disagree0

And where would the cash come from?

wakey wakey your club is skint

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic should find a goalkeeper like the famous sao paulo legend Rog rio Ceni that would solve our goalkeeping, penalty woes, heading corners and free kick fumbles all in one go if you can't remember ceni look on google guy scored 100 goals and most were penalties and set pieces haha, I also think after watching inter game yesterday were quite blessed with the young Matthews bhoy looks like he'll be a diamond quite versatile too.

this is not a rumour but i hope you print this i as a celtic fan are disgusted with lack of transfer activity we have less cash than rangers yet we slag them off we need to clear out the deadwood get in another striker and a decent goalie so celtic ffs spend the cash i dont hesitate to spend on celtic goods so come on. by the way first time to type ed so ty

Believable6 Unbelievable9

I agree if we don't stop the penny pinching we will throw the leauge away. We need a quality keeper & striker Hail Hail

Agree0 Disagree0

There is money there to spend but the board want rid of a few players first, I think we have about 5m but the deadwood players need cleared out first. If 3 or 4 players move on then we will buy. Still think we have enough to win the league with what we have.

Agree0 Disagree0

Couldn't agree more, where's the cash that we were suppossed to have for a transfer kitty gone or was it the usual year after year bullsh** from the board, most of last seasons spending came from the sales of aiden, artur and big mick or have we too wait once again until the last minute scrambling around for players nobody else wants? we need a gk, cb & cf asap but hopefully not foster or bellamy

Agree0 Disagree0

You cant throw away something you never had...but nice to see a celtic fan admit the truth about cfc terrible signing policy and financial difficulties.

Redroc

Agree0 Disagree0

I also agree and it's starting to get very anoying and enbarrasing the celtic board have no ambition what so ever and we should be calling for they're heads celtic is a massive club and has the best supporters in the world and we deserve much better every year we are let down by them after watching the inter game yesterday thats enough evidence that we need a quality striker and goalie in the second half we had alot of posession but we never had the end product.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think we need a lot of players to come in.........imo we need a keeper a centre half and a striker.........i think Lenny is doing the right thing at the moment, we don't want to sign just any keeper or striker out there.....we need QUALITY in both positions and a centre half to cover for either Wilson or Mulgrew who i think should be our two centre backs at the moment.......again we need QUALITY in those positions, hence the fact a keeper with 82 caps for his country has not been deemed good enough to be our no 1 and Lenny is still after Long who i think would be an Excellent player for us in the League and europe

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we are takin our time with players NL likes instead of buyin just squad players unlike raingers the goin oot buyin god knows.jcge

Agree0 Disagree0

And rangers have bought who exactly ? lenny knows we need a goalie and i trust he will get one in shortly, let him do his job

Agree0 Disagree0

Redroc, celtic financial diificulties , haha. are you still drunk. answer this, if mt whyte has so much cash, then why the need to sell to buy ? and why not just pay the 2m for the tayside ned ? celtic are fine, you should be more worried about mr whyte and the HMRC

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need to sign loads of players. I think a lot of people seem to forget we done loads of business last summer and have already signed 4 players this summer ( all be it 1 is a youth player ) also don't forget it is easy to say we should get rid of this one and that one but if no one wants to buy them then they stay. Ou squad is too big and I fully support the stance that we shouldn't add any more numbers to it. If we can get shot of 5 players then I'm confident we will see 2 quality players coming in. There is no need to worry. We have no 'financial problems' we are just adjusting our spending in line with the current climate in all businesses. Fat Sally has won one game, away to St. Johnston, and they think everything is rosey again......only time will tell

In Celtic I trust

Agree0 Disagree0

If we're not skint then why are we messing around with triallists. Decent players don't need a trial. we only need a keeper and striker to win the league so go and buy them. We'll get our money back when we go into the group stage of the C.L. next season as the SPL winners have that bonus next year.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't understand why rangers can even think about comparing transfer activity. Fact of the matter is we have a surplus of squad players and probably require a new keeper and a third striker. Rangers on the other hand have an small, ageing squad and after Bougy leaves will require another CB. They also need a new winger, two new CMs and another Striker. On top of the LB, CB and that Ortiz, who is horrid, so that is why Celtic will definitely have less transfer activity than the shame- it's because their squads s**te.

Agree0 Disagree0

We are simply looking around - why rush in to buy when ther eis no rush. NL said he wants a keeper by next week, wait til next week then complain. And byt the way, would the ORCS get bck to their own board. Check or what - 4 bids for Goodwillie and not one of them meets the asking price - get a life - looks like your knight in shinning armour is a fake

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic and Rangers are in the same position. Scottish football is barely on par with the Championship, and most championship teams can play similar wages. The SPL is decided by the Old Firm derbies and is poor outside of theses matches.

I know alot of people dont really want bellamy back but even with his age and fitness a think he could do a really good job in the spl

The search for a new striker could of been solved if celtic had went for Garra Dembele. Although Celtic HAVE not been linked with him in any capacity, he would of been a good signing.

Scored 26 goals for Levski Sofia last season and has just signed for SC Freiberg for £2.5m. {Ed007's Note - CFC were reported to be interested in January. It was SSN that reported it right enough:

Watched the hoops against inter and thought we done ok but zaluska should have done better with both goals so we need a keeper badly would of liked us to have signed pletikosa. Samaras and Maloney just aren't good enough to wear the hoops so get rid of them and bring in two new forwards. Big loovens and mulgrew looked the part today.

GaryBhoy88

Believable12 Unbelievable4

The first was just a great finish he waqs unlucky but the second was his falt

Agree0 Disagree0

Loovens is a diddy , he was s**t yesterday think our 2 centre backs should be Mulgrew and k.Wilson for the first time in a long time we can have a natural pairing with a left sided CB m a right sided CB , also heard we didn't sign pletikosa because of wage demands , he looked shakey against wolves anyway but still need a good keeper

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I suppose your right but it was at his near post

Agree0 Disagree0

Loovens and mulgrew are crap, need a keeper 1st, thats the main target, we need to buy 1 instead of trying to get 1 for nothing, if need be bring back the holy goalie
