Any truth in the Adrian blake rumours? Never seen him play, anyone watch the Eredivise?

06 Aug 2026 16:08:29
New reports suggesting we're close to signing the Egyptian winger.

06 Aug 2026 16:38:54
Not overly excited about that 1 but hope n pray 🙏 turns out better than balikwisha infact am btr than him at 63.

06 Aug 2026 17:04:03
Seen that today hope it's true also seen Everton are failing to match the asking price for AJ if both are true that's a double result.

06 Aug 2026 19:36:52
Am close to ma boy but Al believe it when it's announced.

06 Aug 2026 19:48:43
Preferred the look of Ghedjemis if I'm honest just from the footage available online. Reports saying the fees weren't that much different. I'll just be glad when this one's finally over the line as it might mean we can move a bit of focus elsewhere.

06 Aug 2026 22:45:28
Agree Henke but apparently Ghedjemis had more in add ons Henke which made it not worth it. Iets just hope we get it over the line as you say n get the rest of the positions filled.

07 Aug 2026 11:57:02
I've got my fingers crossed we get both of them, Greengo. Not sure if they have any history of playing on the left but I wanted two wingers/ wide attackers before Maeda left. Yang and Tounetki look good in flashes but ultimately haven't been at the level required to take us forward and things don't look great for Jota.

05 Aug 2026 11:51:33
We are back in for Ghedjemis, does that mean the Hassan deal has gone cold?

It looks like Baur will be staying at Paderborn after all. Do you know if that’s true?

Note we are after Ginetis. You mentioned you’d love him to replace Engels if he left. Is he a good player?

05 Aug 2026 12:28:54
Better ask GreenBottles as he seems to know what's going on, although he has been quiet the last few days.
Maybe he is Michael Nicholson in disguise and is away doing some deals for a change.

05 Aug 2026 12:52:09
We need to pay what the selling club wants, it might be over the odds but we've left it late again that's on the board and clubs know we're getting desperate, we are at leat 4 players short with 15 player's having left, surely mn cm are gone after this how many windows is that they've dithered.

05 Aug 2026 13:19:16
Tam from still game is sealing the deals.

05 Aug 2026 14:04:35
Can't be a coincidence and he must be getting his instructions from higher up. We seem to work on a policy of 1 first team player out another 1 in.

After the Dundee game it's evident what we need.

05 Aug 2026 14:52:00
Think we are working more to 1 in after 7/ 8 out.

05 Aug 2026 14:56:59
Got told we have pulled out of the Ghedjemis deal. Rumours Hassan away to Marseille.

05 Aug 2026 14:59:51
If it's a 1 in 1 out then we should have at least 5 playets in as we have we not lost more than 2 first team players?
We have replaced Maeda with Duran and Iheanacho with Hogh but what about Saracchi, Araujo, Schmeichel, along with the other 12 first team squad players.


I was watching Acsom and they mentioned that we will have saved something like £200k a week on wages alone if the average player was on around £6k.
What are they actually waiting for or saving all this money for?

05 Aug 2026 20:08:58
The thing that gets me about the Celtic board is when it comes too selling our players we want top dollar quite rightly so, BUT when we go after another teams players we offer half the price that the club is looking for and the board seams to scratch there heads and wonder why the selling club isn't giving us the player.

OFFER WHAT THE SELLING CLUB IS ASKING FOR, Or don't bother offering at all. Top tip for the board.

{Ed007's Note - Why haven't West Ham met the asking price for Engels then, why didn't Everton or Fulham offer the right money for AJ?
Celtic do what every other club does - even to us - and negotiate a price.
Should Celtic just have stumped up the £ to buy 60% of Saracchi, not even the whole registration of the player?
Boca wanted £1.5m for 60% ownership (we initially offered them 60% of that £900k after they refused to sell 100%) meaning if we had went on to sell him for £10m we get £6m - minus the 1.5 we paid so 4.5m profit, Boca get £4m profit because the £1.5 we paid for 60% is the same Boca paid for 100% when they initially signed him. There's no way Celtic should get involved in a deal like that, if we sold him on for only £5m we'd only break even.
Throw in his wages/bonuses etc and we'd have struggled to make any decent profit while Boca are in 100% profit no matter what the resale value could be, if he bombed and we sold him for £1m to cut our losses Boca get £400k of that.}

06 Aug 2026 06:34:36
Does every player have to generate a profit through sales? What about the value of having a squad equipped to qualify for the CL?

05 Aug 2026 21:21:58
Ed, that Sarrachi deal sounds mental. Why would any club entertain that. But all our fans see is the board failed to get the player in, they don't know the ins n outs of the deal.

That said our board do seem to dither over signings. I'd have thought Baur and a winger along with a LB would have been on the door by now.

{Ed007's Note - I think even Celtic thought they would have more players in the door by now. Clubs are looking at the fees & profit Celtic get for players and they want their cut of that from players they're selling to us, Las Palmas want a 50% sell-on clause for Horkas (that's on any profit we make, not on the whole fee like the Saracchi deal) which is still higher than normal, to get them to drop that to a more reasonable level Celtic will probably have to offer a higher up front fee.}

06 Aug 2026 12:57:42
Marseille are a financial mess.

04 Aug 2026 12:19:18
Edd, you think there’s any truth in us bidding £6m for Flares snd them £8m and apparently his team wanting £13m, Ano ul want this transfer window closed and sit down with an ice cold Irn Bru and your Old Hustler Comic mate 🤭.

{Ed007's Note - Nope, it's his agent leaking stuff to the press to build up interest. I don' see any team paying the reported price Frosinone want for Ghedjemis of €15-€20m, they don't want to sell, they don't have to sell but agents make their money off transfers.}

04 Aug 2026 20:19:27
Anymore news on Baur situation ed?

{Ed007's Note - Nope, still trying to negotiate with Paderborn.}

04 Aug 2026 20:44:25
Ed, out of the wingers linked, ghedemis and Hassan, which if any would you prefer.

{Ed007's Note - Why not sign both?}

04 Aug 2026 20:56:33
That would be good. Definitely need wingers that can take a man on.

05 Aug 2026 10:40:51
Because Yang and Tournetki won't take on a defender and go past them, they cut back and pass the ball to whoever is near to them.

03 Aug 2026 22:29:46
There is a report stating we have been in contact with Mechelen about their €6.5M 21 year old right back Thérence Koudou. Looks quick and attacking from a YouTube glance.

04 Aug 2026 07:26:45
Passed monitoring stage and at Contact. The low ball bid and weeks of haggling still to go.

04 Aug 2026 11:14:11
In January 2027, we may go back to test the waters after our sniffing about this month ends with a bid several million below what the club want - that's the MO for Mikey Nicholson.

04 Aug 2026 13:44:04
Sick of this "we've been in contact"or "we're monitoring".
Mark my words we will be scratching around the loan market on the last day of the window having sold Johnston and Engels.
Then we'll get the but but we broke our transfer record.
Absolutely sick of all the F******** about every transfer window.

04 Aug 2026 14:09:19
Wiltshire Celt,

you're optimistic 😂🤣😂

04 Aug 2026 17:05:26
I live in hope we might sign a proven starter that will br able to beat a defender and cross the ball. Despite Engels being a so called dead ball specialist (I am sure that's what MON called him 'once') our corner taking is rank awful.

Hoping the ex Hearts coach can teach someone in our team to allow us to take a corner properly. If not, can we decline to take a corner if earned?

04 Aug 2026 17:06:08

Stevie, I’m no adverse to a loan market signing. This board can’t be trusted identifying and signing talent. Look at the Jan window. I hope Hogh proves us wrong but no way Engels was worth the spend and tbh I haven’t seen a decent big money buy really prove their worth. CCV injured, Julian pish, Jota injured, Trusty nowhere near the value we paid, balikwisha pish…

Here’s a question, how many players over £3.5m have actually worked out? And don’t get me wrong I know guys like Engels will likely sell for more than we bought but is he really better than Armstrong or MOR… or dare I say it even Christie?

IMO keep what we have, get guys on loan to buy, until we have the proper infrastructure.
