{Ed007's Note - Max Clayton has told Crewe that he wants to leave the club during this window. He is rated as one of the top prospects in England and NL is a BIG admirer of the player. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see CFC make a move for the 19 y.o. attacker but there will be plenty of interest and competition for his signature.}

Not really seen the boy ed what type of player is he? And do u think we will be after him? {Ed007's Note - He has been compared to a young Michael Owen and a lot of people (including Crewe manager Steve Davis) rate him better than Nick Powell who joined Man Utd last summer. He is definitely one of the most gifted young players in the lower leagues in England. I'd be delighted if we signed him but I wouldn't like him to be our signing that replaces Hooper, he isn't quite ready for that yet.}

Looking at his stats and 1 goal every 5 games doesn't sound too appealing.

4.) 17 Aug 2013
Mate gee it a break! We might buy a decent replacement! No one is happy about the lack of activity but future stars are what we do! See potential and develop them! Hooper and wanyama were un known with potential and became stars u just look at the glass as empty not even half empty!

SOS BHOY

All Geri you must be the most negative poster on here all you ever do is slate the club. There's a big difference between the old board lining their respective family fortunes and PL running a financially stable business. Of course I'd love us to bring in a few quality players but that doesn't mean this boy wouldn't be a cracking signing, remember bargains like Henrik, Lubo, Agathe etc?

I agreed with u the other night al geri but 2night I have to go against what u say. PL like others didn't have in the past, have the clubs best intersts at heart, I don't agree with how he goes about buying decents players but he's not going to let the club go bust just to keep fans happy, do u forget our DARK days before a wee billionare wi a skipit bunnit came in and saved us and showed everyone at CFC how to run a decent business aswell as get a good team on the park, like one post says, Henrik, Lubo and Agathe between them they cost about 2mil and look at what they gave the club and fans. If the boy from crewe is good enough and would join us, why not go for him? I don't know much about him, but I've seen the young lad powell play and he's not too shabby, plus with what I've heard about crewe they churn out decents talents from there youth set-up, maybe worth a punt if the price is right, but I'd still want someone in to replace hooper and that is the only time I'd ever beg PL to spend the money for the lad finbogassen(spellin) as he could be worth double when the time comes to move him on.

Again al geri you are spot on where does the money go.The figures for Dalglish are bang on I think we spent a whole £50,000 on his replacement a certain Joe Craig.Bringing on young players is great but when you have the cash it should be spent on a bit of quality, i'm sick hearing PL talking about the Celtic Family as it seems the fans are being ignored, he is begining to sound like Jock Brown I can hardly believe a word the man says.

We have plenty of guys for the future our problem is we need players for now and have done for sometime now the champions league play off has been kind to celtic but don't expect to get it easy at group stage buy some ready to go first teamers or face a tough time in group games. It's time to give us signings we deserve. Hail hail. Jim

We do not bad from the lower leagues in other countries ie; wanyama commons hooper. I would take a punt on him at the least he's 19 and we would get our £££ bk

10.) 17 Aug 2013
A young Michael Owen. Sign him up Lenny! Powell looks a great prospect, not seen too much of Clayton. If he's rated similar or better we should make a move pronto. Realistically what do you think he would go for ed?
cw-88 {Ed007's Note - At a guess I would say maybe £2m but I imagine it will be like Powell's Man Utd deal and have plenty of add-ons.}

We already have a decent young striker in Tony Watt, how often does he play? Very rarely, and when he does it's on the wing. Currently in the striker department we have: Samaras, Balde, Stokes, Watt, and also Atajic. Everyone's saying sign this guy from Crewe and still need to bring in a replacement to Hooper. How's Lennon going to play all of them? Absolutely ridiculous having that many strikers.

Yes I am THE MOST NEGATIVE, but I have a RIGHT TO THAT.SEEN SO MANY TROPHYS DISAPPEAR BECAUSE OF A lack of AMBITION. We won't always get a wanyama for peanuts.This club has to be more astuite than any other.Again THIS CLUBS HISTORY DICTATES MY THOUGHTS, Our DOUBLE WIN ON OUR 100TH BIRTHDAY, WHAT DID WE DO WITH THAT POSITION OF POWER?.If you have been a fool once, twice, three times, you have to be a complete clown to make the same mistake again.I don't LIKE THIS CLUB being told NO by footballing NOBODYS FROM around the WORLD So let's set our sights on players who WILL sign for us a can't be arsed with anymore, BUT I AM BANG ON WITH MY THOUGHTS.PS Ian ANDREWS WAS OUR BIG BUY IN 1988/89. PAUL MCGRATH 400GS, PAT NEVIN 500GS WAS MY SIGNING DREAMS AT THAT TIME. al geri. sorry for being so negative, but.

13.) 18 Aug 2013
PS Joe Craig was already at paradise when we sold THE KING, I think we bought F.Munro, J.Dowie, J.Fillippi. forgot the other 20 quid we spent.al geri. facts are better than fiction.

God Bless Al Geri for being honest, Celtic have penny pinched for years, brought in 20 million and spent 7 million max - come on the hoops bring in a big player to keep all the fans happy

16.) 18 Aug 2013
Good to see that al geri is not fooled his points are on the nail, I have seen Celts rise and fall so often, at times we appear to be lacking in ambition, the current squad is Europa League standard we need 3 quality signings, by the way we have also made considerable savings on the wage bill by releasing so many players, let last season not be another false dawn, if the cash is not spent on good players where will it go?

17.) 18 Aug 2013
You see the figures for guys like Larsson, Lubo and Didier being bandied about a lot on here. These guys were signed how many years ago? How much has the footballing market changed since the late 90's?

The problem at Celtic has always been we can never get a proper balance. We are not slick and dynamic enough when doing our business, I said in a post yesterday that everything we seem to do gives people room to talk(meaning the journo's, and the other mob/critics etc) I believe if the criticism is from our own fans then fair enough-as long as it's constructive/honest. I'm guilty of going on rants, simply because I want success so badly, and I'm sure the other lad Al Geri is the same. I started watching us in the 80's and it was hard going(up against a very good souness team) and by God did they love patronizing us, every chance they got they had a good laugh at us. The problem though is we don't do enough to help ourselves. I want us to act with a bit off class, but also with a bit more fire. The current team is looking well short off real quality - we have plenty of numbers, not enough ability. Cheers, Paul

Big D. Was Shearer not the most expensive player in the world, certainly in England, at that time?

Celtic's pursuit of striker pukki from shalke could be derailed by the news that jan klaus huntelaar is out for a month meaning shalke are short up front and will not be willing to sell another striker until a replacement is brought in for the injured huntelaar. yet another blow to neil lennon's plans with finboggson unlikely to join. celtic now likely to turn their attentions to gary mckay steven of dundee united.
