Atsu been given permission to talk to Sunderland . Another one bites the dust!

The deal was never on mate just paper talk.

{Ed007's Note - Celtic contacted Michael Emenalo at Chelsea two weeks ago about taking Atsu on loan.}

Yes ed but mourinho said he wants him playing in a league so he's ready for Chelsea next year not the spl. And she. I posted last week about this it was guaranteed it wasn't going to happen.

{Ed007's Note - It's nothing to do with Mourinho, that's not how Chelsea works. Abramovich and his group of footballing advisors decide what happens and Abramovich listens to them over anyone, including his managers. It was his advisors that flagged up they weren't happy with AVB's training methods and techniques so they brought in independent experts to study training sessions then decided to sack AVB.}

ed I am not going to pretend I am a celtic fan because I ain't but what I am is a football fan and love to air an honest opinion of how I see thing's for me ronny delia got it all wrong last night from the very start why was the new guy brought straight into the team when he had not trained with his team mates or got to know them properly. also why was izzaguirre not playing from the start and also for me biton should have been brought on with kayal to really tighten up the midfield when it was 2-1 which would have been the perfect score for celtic. it was one of the worst defensive perfomances I have seen from a scottish team in europe for a long time. also where do you stand on this not playing at parkhead thing for me it maybe a good thing because they won't have the pressure of 50 odd thousand fan's on them and they can go out in the second leg and play with no pressure. a forlorn task for celtic but not impossible but the defending needs to be improved drastically and stokes needs to start in place of pukki.

Think it was obvious the Atsu deal was off.

That's interesting Ed about Chelski. I knew RA was a bit of a dictator but that totally undermines the reason for appointing a manager at all if you ask me.

I really can't help but feel my frustration over lack of investment BEFORE qualifiers has been justified. Karagandy we got through by a midgies dick. When RD came out and said this squad was good enough to qualify, I just laughed.

{Ed007's Note - It's a more continental/European approach, Jim, clubs appoint coaches rather than managers as we know them, Liverpool have a transfer committee and it's them who decide transfer policy and targets although Rodgers is on the committee.}
