Not been on in ages. How you all keeping? Just popping in because my dad was talking to a guy he knows, who knows a friend of Bradford's James Hanson. He said Nahki Wells will be at Celtic by the end of the month. I know this sounds like 1 of those, I know a guy who delivers post to so and so's milkman type rumours, but even when I used to come on Here before I never posted my own rumours because I didn't have any plausible. Anyway, hope it's true. Can't see us paying the £3m that city have valued him at though

Can't say I think he'd make us a lot better. Good player but I'm not convinced he's what we're looking for.

Yeah your right it does sound like one of them rumours lol.
Id take him in a minute considering what we have (so anybody for that sake).
Good player, better than what we have, and don't think that would be the price tag? Supporters aren't going to be happy one way or the other until current/new players are doing the business on the pitch, after that the price tags don't matter!
Free (on heafty wages) or 6mil (on heafty wages) there is a gamble!
1.8mil on a project and 2.2mil on a guy who plays beside a guy we don't have,,, then that's another gamble altogether.
Some players are better suited to certain teams!
Sorry, so back to Wells, good player and pace to burn.

You're bang right. You just have to look at some of the players that have gone to the epl and flopped but were brilliant elsewhere. Shevchenko, Veron, and Forlan to just name a few. Always a gamble

Hearing that we are looking to do a double signing from Red Bull Salzburg of midfielder Valon Berisha and striker Jonathan Soriano.
Figure I heard was £6M for both, sounded cheap to me but would love it if this came off.

Has Soriano not been out injured for a couple of months?,,,, deep river bhoy

Aye, he's not played since Standard Liege in October!

Back of the daily ranger tomorrow supposedly going 2 bid 6m for steven fletcher

Think he is a great striker and would do well for us but taking his injuries in to mind I'd rather bid 6 million for finnbogasson but let's face it we are getting no 6 million signing hope am wrong though.

There is no way we will go in for a player that we could of got. it would be a slap in the face of the board and they wouldn't swallow it i'm afraid. rglen8

Be fair to Celtic. Hibs are on record saying that irrespective of our offer they would not have sold to Celtic. Would prefer him to Griffith as he doesn't have the baggage that Griffith has.

WE urgently need a lift as we are in danger of losing soon.


Sunny Jim.

Doubt this will happen.Fee and wages too high and he's injury prone.

MM67 - The only way we would get fletcher would be if the board are going to cash in on forster for maybe £10 mil or so. Could see them maybe making a big money signing if only to appease fans who are fed up with us losing our big players.

He's rated a 4mil apparently.

I can't see Sunderland accepting 4m for a player they paid 14m for 2 years ago. He is everything Peter Lawell is against - commands a big transfer fee, on a big salary, injury prone and at 27 we couldn't keep him for a few years and then try and sell on at a profit when he is 30! There is better value for money out there. We go through this every transfer window the days of 6m signings r over. 3m is breaking the bank to us these days.
