After me saying Mccarthy rumour is bullshit it's technically not! It's not 100% correct though if you know what I mean.
22 Aug 2016 20:22:54
100% correct as in its definitely a rumour or are you holding something back?
22 Aug 2016 20:26:45
more info mate lol.
22 Aug 2016 20:27:56
Very good Skinny, you know nothing it would seem.
22 Aug 2016 20:28:35
No skinnybhoy Uve lost me! Lol.
22 Aug 2016 20:36:31
OK SB that post just confused the hell out of everyone. lol
now SB we know your the man in the know, so is there a real Deal in the offering for a "big name" buy or are we all just hoping there is?
HH.
22 Aug 2016 20:46:56
he is unhappy at Everton and wants out. Would love to come to Celtic and play champions league football. However he first needs to speak to his agent. Hence its not true but it's not false. There must also be another player lined up. Sorry Dafabet on this one I know plenty.
22 Aug 2016 20:47:07
Cprs
Please don't big SB up. He has delivered nothing that wasn't already out there. We could all write exactly what is already written online but the difference is we don't.
22 Aug 2016 20:56:54
FFS Niall if you knew anything then would realise I said many times it was total bull! I was wrong hence above post.
22 Aug 2016 21:10:55
Got to agree with Niall here SB. lots of ifs buts and maybe! But I suppose it is a rumour site lol! Wouldn't Mind McCarthy to fair but really can't see him leaving EPL! God just imagine the anti climax if we don't sign anybody else this transfer window! After all the talk about this player and that player! Lol. bloody hope we're all not getting her hopes up for nothing!
22 Aug 2016 21:47:39
Said this the other day and got slaughtered for it from Sparky1888, Paradisewon and also you Skinnyboy.
22 Aug 2016 21:48:43
Skinny you don't know plenty. You are reworking information gathered from Celtic sites.
22 Aug 2016 21:54:52
Skinnybhoy. look at me i know something and i'm not telling yous. get it telt.
22 Aug 2016 22:05:36
Steggsy your right and I apologise it's not total bullshit! Dafa mate I can't make you believe me that's up to you bud but I ain't surfing other sites for info I've known James since he was kicking a ball in Arnprior ash pitch. BRFA I've told you in previous post see above.
22 Aug 2016 22:17:30
I think McCarthy would be a great signing. If we could come up with an acceptable fee I think the wages side of things could be worked on. The boys Celtic daft and I do feel if there's genuine interest there's a deal to be done there.
22 Aug 2016 22:20:00
SB
If you tell us something that isn't already common knowledge I said I would bow down to your superior knowledge. So far you haven't.
Also you have kept your options totally open with the marquee signing talk to the point that you can't be wrong as the story has changed so many times.
22 Aug 2016 22:25:25
Just because McCarthy isn't happy at Everton and would love to play for Celtic (apparently) doesn't mean that Celtic are interested in him.
22 Aug 2016 22:36:23
Exactly ice man. We have asked him about the rumours and I posted response above. He would love to come and play champions league football but needs to speak to his agent. It's more than possible rumour started with agent. I'm being honest thought no way 100% nonsense but my above post came direct.
22 Aug 2016 22:40:34
Niall your right mate so no a problem that's why this is a rumour site people post what they hear some from genuine sources others from taxi drivers uncles dog. BUT IF he is going to sign and I post to say 100% go put bet on you won't want to know?
22 Aug 2016 23:18:31
SB
I'm not bother about James McCarthy. We should have signed him when we had the chance 4 to 5 years ago. That ship has sailed as his fee and wages are out of our range.
The reason I have been harsh on you is I just know that Celtic fans have been crying out for a hero type like Larsson, Keane, Bellamy or Miku :) affer years of Lassad, Bangura and Balde type signings and it isn't fair to build up this marquee signing talk. If it all falls flat and doesn't materialise some will be left disappointed at a time when we should all be optimistic about our club going forward.
22 Aug 2016 23:21:01
Skinnybhoy would love this to happen mate and the fact that the lad seems open to the idea is encouraging. Guess we'll just have to ! The next 7 days will be interesting.
22 Aug 2016 23:38:48
Niall mate this is a rumours site nobody forces anyone to read or get hopes up. I only post what have been reliably informed direct. My marquee signing source has a high profile job in Celtic. I only posted what told, a whole manner of things must materialise qualification is number 1. I'm sure in previous years we would have had signings in place only to collapse. To be honest I would be happy to just shift more dead weight.
23 Aug 2016 08:08:51
Skinnybhoy is Mccarthy going to be our marquee signing?
23 Aug 2016 09:52:49
Skinnybhoy - you've been raving away about a marquee signing, like I said previously, it's hardly anything profound or insightful, the majority of fans thought when Rodgers got the job he would be backed with cash, and 90% also think that a big signing was possible if we qualify for the Champions League! Then the other day when a lad posted about McCarthy you said it was nonsense because he was on 70k per week. Well he's not on that wage, and now you're saying you know him. So to sum up you're saying we're getting a marquee signing but won't go near 70k. You sound like a nice guy but I don't take you seriously! Why try to be something you're not? One thing I can't be doing with is characters trying to be super-fans who know all the inside info. If they can back it up great, but why treat the rest of Celtic supporters like mugs if it's all in your head, or like the rest of the guys have said things that are on other INFERIOR (hope you appreciate that Ed) sites. Anyway Skinny, and the rest of the troops, enjoy the game tonight, please God we make it because it's the biggest payout we'll have had in our history, with the way it's been changed and with BT, we could end up with £25/ 30 million, it would set us up for the next few years.
23 Aug 2016 10:02:57
Marco I would think it will be someone else from what I'm told deal is set up! McCarthy on other hand would love to come and play champions league and unhappy at Everton. Most possibly his agent started rumour however he is aware of the rumours said he needs to speak to agent so doubt very much anything agreed there yet. Hence why it's not all false but not all true either mate.
23 Aug 2016 11:47:19
I've heard international clearance applied for by the club for a player who will sign on Friday, Also heard that P Roberts is quite far down the line on a permanent deal.6 million up front City paid not 12 like rumored, the other 6 was add owns, England caps etc, . we would pay City 6 million, . Now that is . lol, true or pish? Who knows.
23 Aug 2016 12:34:31
No problem Delphic you are entitled to your opinion mate but I don't need to make up stories for a website. If you don't like my posts don't read them.
23 Aug 2016 13:33:04
I had a dig at Skinnybhoy but it was in jest, lads its a rumour site and everyone who has a rumour or info can post it, it may be from a reliable source or from a taxi driver, I've also had info and it turned out to be rubbish and that was from an investor. Anyhow today I've heard the Roberts rumour that we are trying to make the deal permanent again it could be crap but its a bit of gossip till the window slams shut.
Skinnybhoy hopefully yours comes in.
Hail Hail.
23 Aug 2016 13:52:26
I'm sorry mate, I didn't mean to have a go at you, it's just annoying when fans (not just you) say things as a matter of fact. Another lad said McCarthey had a year left on his contract, which if true would change my whole argument, when he has 4 years left. Then you say it's nonsense because he gets 70k, which is also wrong, then you top it off by saying you know him. What is the point of just saying things that back up your argument, anybody can do that, it's not normal behaviour though. McCarthey is a good all round midfielder, and if like Snodgrass was near the end of his contract is think it was good business to get him for a small fee/ Bosman. I've just never seen him as a £20 million pound player though. He doesn't dominate the midfield like a Kante. It didn't surprise me at all that Koeman doesn't rate him. I love hearing rumours, just not the ones that people have been talking about in the boozer for months.
23 Aug 2016 13:45:14
Ed with regards to Kev 1962 post would Lucas require international clearance?
{Ed007's Note - Of course he would, any player moving to a new association needs international clearance.}
23 Aug 2016 15:00:51
Guys first time poster, just heard someone close to McCarthy that he is wanting a loan move to us due to family/ personal reasons, mite be pish but as I say they are close to him so thought I would post it.
23 Aug 2016 17:26:18
Mccarthy deal could be a loan move. Know his family from castlemilk and drink with his uncle pat in the beechwood. James wants away and would like a move back home.
23 Aug 2016 19:40:28
Cmilkbhoy best not say you know him will get shot down in flames mate like me.
23 Aug 2016 22:39:25
I hope Mccarthy does want to come and we tell him to ram it up his jazz drum.
Any player who walks out of a stadium after being subbed is a fud and is better of as far away from us as possible.
24 Aug 2016 02:43:40
I know McCarthy well, he bought my gerbil. He's going to sign for Cowndenbeath instead. We will bring back Andy Payton out of retirement and sign him for 2 Mars bars a week! FACT!
