We're being linked with a lot of players that have played for BR before, be interesting to see who the first signing is? Will give us an idea if he's going to be backed or not.

I think his first signing will be the winger from malmo can't remember his name.

The talk has gone quiet about the boy wisdom is this no happing now? No much incoming goss from the papers must no be buying into their rubbish haha.

Agree0 Disagree0

Damage to the wage bill. he's scored 3 goals in two seasons and he's 34 no thanks . if this and the likes of graham . fletcher . wisdom are where we're going then we should have kept ronnie.

I know the season finished a month ago but have you forgotten how bad we had become under Ronny last season drb? His tactics and big game results were terrible so someone new was needed. Ps it's best to wait and see who we sign before getting down rather than believing reliable sources such as papers or forums.

Jim1972 I know . I said we will know our new direction with the first few signings . I would rather see br going with what we have left filled in by youth once we've finished the clear out . i just dread seeing duds replaced by dearer duds.

Emmanual Emenike has just finished his loan spell with West Ham. He didn't fare too well, only scoring a couple of goals in the cup, but I really liked the look of him when we played Spartak Moscow. He's been at Fenerbahce for 3 seasons now so can't have long left on his contract. At 29 he might be worth a punt for a couple of million?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

07 Jun 2016 18:04:15
He looked good with spartak but he's probably on mental wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 18:18:53
No chance is he 29 Kevbhoy more likely 39 and he's hardly been prolific.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Emenike's only 7 years older than his stated age.}

07 Jun 2016 19:31:09
Eminike, kanu, obefemi martins, efe ambrose and mo bangura all had really hard paper rounds 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 19:32:21
He's younger than that 17 year old lad at Lazio that's for sure haha! He's not been hugely prolific I'll admit but he would score plenty in Scotland I'm sure and he'd be an asset in Europe. Wages might be sky high though, you're right Gracie.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 19:50:46
And is a nutter with all sorts of off field problems and a temper on the park (who doesn't score that much)

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 19:51:06
Cases like this always seem to pop up with African players. Obviously there are various agencies and authorities at fault when conning European clubs into a sale. Just google Joseph Minala, he's supposed to be 19! Now either it's a curious case of Benjamin Button or somebodies telling porkies!

As for Eminike, there's the argument he hasn't been prolific enough at West Ham but he could still improve our squad. Certainly the 'type' of player we should be looking at to compliment LG or even replace him to take us to the next level in Europe.

Agree2 Disagree1

I know we are being linked with players every day but if Aberdeen are contemplating selling Jonny Hayes to Wigan for £500,000 I personally think he would be a good signing for Celtic any thoughts fellow Tims.

Believable4 Unbelievable7

07 Jun 2016 08:15:16
I'd take him and rooney.

Agree1 Disagree6

07 Jun 2016 08:30:43
Like Hayes think he's a cracking wee player but worry he could be like GMS and struggle at times playing for a club like ours.

Agree1 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 09:00:18
Not exactly marquee, but agree we need wingers and at that price I would take him.

Agree2 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 09:28:23
Chris30 my dad always says that if celtic are signing players from Scotland that it needs to be players that preform well against us and don't hid.
Hayes always stands out and gives us problems fae what I have seen
GMS on the other hand seemed to disappear against us.

Agree0 Disagree3

07 Jun 2016 10:29:07
Good player but I think we should aim for a better quality. No point in more squad signings.

Agree3 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 10:44:48
Not sure Hayes would be a squad signing.
He's better than most the wingers there and with Roberts leaving after this season could be a good buy.
But every signing is a gamble.

Agree3 Disagree3

07 Jun 2016 11:53:09
Johnny hayes is rotten. Sorry lads but we have got to be looking at a better standard of player than that. Hope more of the flops like GMS and ambrose get sold quickly too. So brendan con concentrate on a more compact squad.

Agree4 Disagree4

07 Jun 2016 12:19:54
500k isn't a bad fee but I think we should cast the net a bit further and spend more on a first team player. At 28 he would need to be able to walk into the team for it to be worthwhile and for me he doesn't. I'd rather give nesbit a chance left of a front 3.

Agree3 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 13:15:52
Not any better than what we have and would just be one more squad player we do not need. I don't think there is one player in Scotland that would walk into our starting 11. Guys like McGinn at Hibs decent enough but would he start next season no. We need to look elsewhere for players. We have been buying squad players for years now it's time to stop this trend and start buying quality over quantity.

Agree2 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 15:50:08
how many players have we scoffed at that have went down England and done really well? Snodgrass was only decent when he left livi and look at him now we need to stop turning our nose up at Scottish players and when we do sign then play them in their natural position (Armstrong comes to mind) then judge if they are good enough or not some will be some won't but this he plays in a league below so he's obviously not good enough is absolute boll**ks.

Agree3 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 17:15:06
I always felt GMS played well against us Kev if maybe Iam wrong mt certainly wouldn't say he hid against us but bud.

Agree0 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 17:38:44
Never said he hid just that he disappeared. Was never worried about him but always thought Armstrong stood out.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 19:45:51
Hid dissappear kind a same thing a me pal.

Agree0 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 19:52:37
Armstrong definitely the stronger out the two for me but needs to be played in the middle. GMS shows wee bits of potential and should be given til January perhaps.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2016 11:30:39
Player hiding is different from him being ineffective and disappearing from game for me

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2016 22:35:58
Arite then.

Agree0 Disagree0

Seen rumours of us finally putting in a bid for Mo Elyounoussi, you heard anything Ed?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Nah mate, sorry.}

07 Jun 2016 07:08:34
Would love us to sign him, thinks he's going to be a cracker.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 08:32:47
Now we talking would take this lad in heartbeat, think this Bhoy gone a play at top level at some point.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 09:04:31
Norweigan poster on here who is normally quite well informed was saying that there was apparently several scouts from English and Spanish clubs watching him when Molde took on Sevilla in Europa league. Having been hoping we signed him since he ran rings rounds us, but think we may have missed the boat. Where did you hear we were bidding LM67?

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 10:14:20
I've read it on a few different rumours pages, both general pages and ones dedicated to Celtic. Since Finboggasson I don't remember the whole fanbase wanting us to sign a player so badly. let's hope we actually get this one!

Agree2 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 12:16:49
I'll guarantee you it isn't the whole fan base who want to sign him. The guy might have looked good against us but how good were we? Hopefully Brendan has his own targets or would people rather continue with parks targets?

Agree0 Disagree1

07 Jun 2016 13:31:18
Elyounnousi was a Ronny target. Hence why we ended up with CKR.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jun 2016 15:18:03
According to Ronny he had final say on every player brought in to Celtic not my words but ronnys. So if you don't believe that to be true why would you believe elyounoussi was ronnys target? Personally I hope brendan has his own targets not an inept coaches recommendations.

Agree1 Disagree3

07 Jun 2016 16:40:49
There's a difference between him picking the players we sign and him being given final say on "its CKR or nothing Ronny"!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Elyounoussi and his agent were in negotiations with Celtic until Dudu Dahan phoned Lawwell and told him CKR needed out of Holland asap after being frozen out at Feyenoord and banned for threatening a journalist.
The first time RD spoke to CKR was on his second day at training and CKR supposedly told him he that that it had been agreed when he signed he would only be here until the summer. I was also told by one of John Kennedy's family that he found out CKR was signing from TV after somebody texted him about it and he thought it was a joke.}

07 Jun 2016 17:17:35
Was it not the same way the Kramaric deal Ed then Lawell tk Scepovic after he changed he's mind cause it would be cheaper?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Yep, and didn't even have the decency to tell Kramaric or his agent they were pulling out of the deal. I've said before that we are gaining a reputation for messing clubs, players and agents about during transfer windows and that could have an effect on our player recruitment if it isn't sorted out.}

07 Jun 2016 21:11:33
Totally agree mate think we probably pissed a few players n agents off last few years.

Agree0 Disagree0
