Alright ED hope your well just wondering have u heard any news on the CH Corteez being on Celtics raydar?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed007's Note - I think Rivaldo Coetzee's agent is using Celtic's name to drum up interest in his player who is desperate to leave Ajax Cape Town who he has been in dispute with.}

13 Aug 2017 22:36:24
Aye probably ED Celtic seem to be used a lot for that. The desperate reporting will start again the morra someone started it today with reports of Danny Ings coming in for 6 months how low do people stoop for stories?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - And yet people still keep reading their shite, Rich.}

13 Aug 2017 23:49:04
Very true ED what's your thoughts for Wednesday Lustig CH for me is a must after Bittons performance on Friday?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - With Ralston at RB? I'd be happy with that or might Rodgers go with a back 3 of Lustig, Simunovic and Tierney?}

14 Aug 2017 09:57:48
Lustig, Ajer, Jozo, KT for me.

Agree1 Disagree1

itll be the same as last game, can understand people wanting ajer in but need to remember that he's a midfielder also, he will go for bitton purely because he trusts him, simples.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Aug 2017 10:57:31
Ajer has been playing as a defender for longer than Bitton has Bhoywonder. He got rave reviews last season at Killie.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Aug 2017 11:23:18
Bitton was playing well the last few games as cover, I think most people can agree.

Never seen the thistle game was he really that bad? Always had question marks over his commitment tbh but from the few games before he seemed pretty comfortable.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Aug 2017 11:25:36
Ad go with ajer he's decent in the air to.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Aug 2017 00:58:43
Prob start with 4 steady the ship and if need be go to three fingers xd ED HH.

Agree0 Disagree2

14 Aug 2017 08:30:51
Reports this morning say we have to sign by tonight at 11pm I thought we had up until 12pm Tuesday night for the wildcard so ED does that mean that we could sign someone and have a wildcard as well?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's 24:00 CET, Rich and that's an hour in front of us. We can still only sign one player who will be eligible for the Astana game. UEFA use European time, currency etc as they're based in Switzerland.}

14 Aug 2017 10:07:03
ED the only thing about 3 at the back is we the loose KT advancing up the wing an attacking force do we not?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Like we did last week against Kilmarnock?}

14 Aug 2017 12:14:21
Cheers ED am thinking that if city wanted it to happen it would be done by now so I can't c it happing now so we should just move on hopefully get through and bring in some players who are not holding out for something what ever it is HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - As long as Roberts is still with City we still have a chance of signing him. City would still prefer a permanent deal but if it needs to be a loan they'd rather he went to Southampton whereas Roberts is adamant he wants to return to Celtic on loan.}

14 Aug 2017 12:43:01
No way before Astana then I would move now or if Celtic really want him put the offer in for permanent deal cause in the long run what's another years loan all about your just wasting money hiring someone for a year when u could buy for 3/ 4 years?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's Roberts that only wants a loan deal, he feels he has the ability to break into City's first team in the future.}

14 Aug 2017 12:56:45
I would move on then see he is away to Girnoa with some of the MC squad in a report today it's only a report so don't know how true that is.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Aug 2017 13:44:13
Yeah i know kev bud, i would prefer ajer got a chance but brendan obviously sees bitton and ajer every session now, just think he will stick with bitton, have we conceded many with him playing there?, if ajer dosent get a chance loan him out again, maybe to a aberdeen, st johnstone.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Aug 2017 22:43:44
I just hope if we don't sign Roberts before tomorrow 's deadline it doesn't affect the confidence of players and crowd . The amount of positive posts on here about Roberts signing based on empty whims and baseless rumours could disturb people into thinking we might as well give the tie to Astana.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Even sites that charge you £ to post were adamant that Roberts was signing last week, Chris! I do tell my wife when she asks if he's signed 'Tomorrow, hen' but that's different lol.}

13 Aug 2017 10:43:32
Has there been any update on the Armstrong situation? BR has reiterated his desire to keep him at the club and I'm quite hopeful that he'll still be here come 1st September. He gives us great drive and more than his fair share of goals so it would be a shame to lose that.
