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.}

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.

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.

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.

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?
03 Aug 2026 11:14:08
Drawn against lask first leg at home, one of the toughest draws imo.

There is a thin line between prudent and irresponsible unfortunately I think this board comes into the latter. IMO we should only be at the stage of replacing players that are going to leave not still trying to do the rebuild that was required last summer.
Now we have that and the great possibility of losing AJ with no confidence of the board replacing him with a quality RB and God help us if we have to go through to the next window or beyond without a replacement and that's just the RB position.

I've seen rumours we will look to replace engels with Jens Hjertø-Dahl. Player who sevco where after but where priced out of it. Anyone know if he is any good.

My nephew works with an Algerian guy in London and he was saying that the boy is a great player and they say over there he's the next mahrez, his words.

03 Aug 2026 14:21:41
His stats look good Mally.
At the end of the day we've got the guts of £40M coming if/ when AJ and Engels leave, plus another £40M if we qualify for the CL proper - £85M.
Other teams, rightly so, won't give their players away, we need to take a punt or two in order to have a chance of improving.
Time for the dinosuars to get the biscuit tin from out the sideboard and get two or three quality players in this/ next week.

Think McGregor has a bigger say than most. He got KT back, effectively sold the club to Rodgers to return, asked for McCowan to be signed and asked for Forrest to be handed an extension. He will be player manager shortly.
01 Aug 2026 19:50:36
I’d personally like to see Calmac be a back up player.
Been so poor the last 2 years and in Europe he is a complete liability.

Greenbottles. what's your source for the claims Calum is calling the shots? Find it nye on impossible to believe he is doing that you claim. Put up your evidence for what you claim.
0
02 Aug 2026 12:59:35
Bottles, if as you claim McGregor is calling the shots.
Was it his decision to sign no one last summer and all the dross we brought in during January?
Or has he just now decided to stick his bottom lip out or pull his big boy pants on and tell DD, MON, SM, MN and CM who he wants to play with.
Whit a load of P**h.

With the Baur deal done (Nerlinger key to the deal) and Hassan having agreed terms with payment structure just to be agreed, Will Martin get his man or will captain power decide who is back up left back this season? Taylor has all but agreed to come, it’s the boards preferred option, but Martin wants sarrachi, that which declared Kieran is no.1 left back - a dig at Taylor to say if you come here son you will be a squad option only.
I think Johnston will stay and Engels will sign the deal to stay at least until January.
One more thing is we are close to signing a French CB on loan with option to by, sure it’s Toure at Lille.

01 Aug 2026 13:03:02
67 Greenbottles,
It's been reported this morning that Engels has agreed personal terms with West Ham which usually means once the clubs agree the fee and payment terms, it's a done deal. I think Engels will have a West Ham scarf around his neck at the start of next week.
Everton are preparing a bid for AJ and I can't see him being at CP after the schools return from their summer holiday.
Hassan has apparently agreed personal terms but reading between the lines his club are holding out for a bigger transfer fee that's more than Celtic are willing to pay. Hassan's stats for his club, for me, make him a real gamble and the Algerian winger who's been mentioned, might be a better option.
Saracchi has already stated on SM that he won't be back to CP and for that back up LB role, personally I'd say Will Ferry is a better option than GT at this point in their respective careers.
Time will tell.
HH.

01 Aug 2026 13:19:47
Only thing ad say is not right is the Taylor thing, MON isn't getting a dig st him because Taylor knows he will b back up but with his wife wanting back home he knows He won't get a btr option than Celtic.
3
01 Aug 2026 14:07:14
Pedro,
Engels agent has not spoken with West Ham, the agent has suggested he’s open to moving to England and London. Tottenham are front runners but will wait till January if Engels wants to. Taylor wants the move - O’Neill wants sarrachi, McGregor wants Taylor as part of the leadership group, he was a big personality and big infule in the dressing room first time. Hassan representive and Baur rep met O’Neill in London on Tuesday morning, I said a few days ago Baur would be announced Monday. Horkas is close as well. Let’s see how the cards fall.
5
01 Aug 2026 17:30:40
67GB,
I'd be delighted if Engels stayed for the time being even if it meant him leaving in January.
I read that Saracchi's wage demands priced him out of a move and according to him, via his Instagram page, he won't be back at CP.
Personally, given it's a back up role at LB, I'd be happy with Will Ferry coming in.
Whatever the scenario we need quality in before the CL qualifying round and no doubt more quality by the time this window closes.
You seem very sure about your information, time will tell.
HH.

got to agree with the hassam thinking. had a good game against Argentina but not much else according to stats. been stung with the boy from Antwerp and don't want that to happen again. the Algerian lad has scored a few goals and could be the better option.

We'd pick up Will Ferry for peanuts (£2M? ) , signing him is a no brainer for me.
HH.

01 Aug 2026 09:43:12
First choice would be Sarrachi if it can be revived, but I would have no problem with Ferry at all. The set piece coach would love him.
5
01 Aug 2026 11:14:27
North18Q,
two things about Sarrachi, he's already stated on 'Insta' that he won't return to CP.
Also, I understand the wages he was looking for would have made him the top earner at Celtic - that's never going to happen.
I'd sign Ferry in a heartbeat, it's a back up role, we need to move on to real priorities like CB and MF.
HH.

01 Aug 2026 13:33:05
Not sure I believe this about his salary demands Pedro as he was apparently on modest amounts by football player standards.
As MON alluded to yesterday he’s still available.
If not Ferry before Taylor everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday 👍.

What, the guy Mon talked about on Friday? Everybody knows that. Hardlybl a scoop mate. You know what we know. If you know more put it up, but Celtic AM and ACSOM already spoke about the exact same thing. If you don't have additional info then your listening to the same stuff and claiming a scoop. let's see it.
The way Mon was speaking it sounded as if ee have thebkad. I notice your post is dated the same day Mon talked about him. And the time Right after his presser.
