I have it on very good authority that Johnny Russell ( Dundee Utd ) WILL sign for Celtic following the Scottish Cup final. Leigh Griffiths is also on Neil Lennon's radar but Wolves are asking for too much money at this point. Victor Wanyama WILL leave as will Gary Hooper. Fraser Forster loves it at Celtic but wants to rturn to England to ensure is his place in the England squad.

BillyBhoy where are you hearing all these rumours?

Sorry Gaz, can't reveal my sources - although the person who told me works within the club.

Combining both above posts we would lose Wanyama, Hooper and maybe Forster and sign Russell, Doyle and possibly Griffiths?
I would like to see a couple of left sided players LB and LM and a class centre back and of course a commanding keeper if and when needed.
If we release McCourt, Lassad, Rogne and don't follow up on loanee's Gershon and Miku we will have a fair bit of re-building to do before the CL qualifiers.
Plus, of course there may be others who leave if a silly bid comes in.
The bottom line for me is we must replace with at least similar and preferably better.

I have it on very good authority that this is complete nonsense and that Celtic have not been in contact with any clubs as of yet regarding deals for players. Neil Lennon recently confirmed that Celtic have had 'a few talks with agents' but the club are nowhere near completing any deals.

Without celtic forster wouldn't have made it in the england squad. hooper should go as you can notice that he reall wants to and he's not improving anymore at celtic. wanyama should stay, he's to me the best player and said that he's happy here.

Wanyama and Hooper are as good as gone. Celtic have been offered very good money for Wanyama and Hooper has his heart set on playing in the EPL. Hooper should have been sold in January. They certainly won't get £8m for him now. As for Johnny Russell; he'll be a Celt next season. Bank on it.

I don't see big vic going just yet, I can see him staying on for another year before he goes, if he wants his BIG move the big teams will watch him for another season before making their move, yeah he's a class act, but still has some work to do, as for hooper I agree it was a mistake to keep him, I was one of the fans wanting him to be sold, hasn't really done much since january so would we have missed him, I don't think we would have. I hope he goes in summer and is replaced by russell, I was hoping that if hooper went, he would be his replacement its a no brainer to me, good young SCOTTISH talent that can only get better with the right coaching and team and we all know he is proven in SPL I also think he could prove himself at CL level.

Well Kevin Barry ( ho hum! ), unlike wee Andy, I have my finger on the pulse. If I'm proved right, I won't ask for praise - but if I'm proved wrong, don't shoot the messenger.
