Heard from a massively reliable source that absolutely no signings will be made this summer and that ryan christie will be our lone striker next season as rodgers will almost certainly sell or loan out griffiths.

16 Jun 2016 00:28:48
Ed why does this guy even get allowed to post? He's clearly a troll.

{Ed007's Note - He's harmless enough and some of his posts do raise a titter with me.}

16 Jun 2016 09:38:22
Was that the same source that told you MaKay was a certainty to be the manager? Speaking of managers where's the magic prat hiding.

16 Jun 2016 10:22:09
Well why do you guys answer hoops 88 questions
Ignore him then he is obviously getting to youse and he knows it.

16 Jun 2016 11:23:40
Heard from a reliable source that the guy from Rab C Nesbit that jumped around shouting coco pops was based on Hoops88.

16 Jun 2016 11:23:57
I liked Ed's response - I'd prefer to be called an arseh•le than told I'm harmless!

16 Jun 2016 18:41:42
Heard from a cast-iron source that Hoops88 has almost finished his first coloring in book and is almost ready for a join-the-dots picture attempt. It's past his bedtime however so that will need to wait until the morning.

16 Jun 2016 19:35:50
He was very proud he finished a 0-3mths jig-saw puzzle within 2 days.

16 Jun 2016 21:17:24
Well as the old saying goes a broke clock is still right twice a day maybe that's the philosophy he goes by.

15 Jun 2016 20:45:45
Any thoughts on commons ed? Do you reckon he may be for the off?

{Ed007's Note - I can't see Rodgers putting up with him and I hope the Club has finally had enough of him and his Mrs.}

15 Jun 2016 22:51:32
I think that he could be away how long has he left in his current deal to ask if we would get anything from moving him on or comp for getting rid. Ed have you heard anything on Mulgrew that seems to be dragging its heals a bit?

{Ed007's Note - Commons has got a year to run on his deal and as far as I know there's been no contact with Mulgrew since Rodgers phoned him. Things should become a bit clearer over the ext few days as players arrive back from holiday and next week when preseason gets underway.}

15 Jun 2016 23:28:10
Yeah do you think they will keep them both last I heard was Mulgrew speaking after the last Scotland game saying that no offer was on the table but hoped to hear something that forth coming week. The player himself was not sure about it but was hopeful a deal could be done. Commons is a different kettle of fish do you think he would be the type to walk when told no future or do you think he would wait it out another year on the side lines possibly?

{Ed007's Note - I'm thinking perhaps Rodgers was hedging his bets with Mulgrew by telling him not to rush into anything. As for Commons I think if the rumours of NL wanting him as a coach or even his assistant at Hibs are true then he'll jump at the chance IF Celtic pony up on his contract.
It's an ideal move for him, teaming up with NL, staying in Scotland, getting a crack at coaching and his Mrs can keep her high public profile.}

16 Jun 2016 08:21:35
Cheers guys. My question was asked because of the Lennon link.
I think it would be a good move for all parties.

16 Jun 2016 14:27:45
I love it when folk get you started on Commons' Mrs Ed haha. She's definitely a pain in the a*se though I agree.

{Ed007's Note - She's the perfect example that money simply can not buy you any class. What kind of WAG (that's me being nice) hangs about the Gallowgate and travels to away games on supporters' buses just so she can moan about her man not getting a two year contract? Since Gerrard buggered off to the USA you'll be hard pushed to find a more odious couple in football than Commons and his partner in British football.}

16 Jun 2016 15:57:41
They strike me as a couple of Posh and Becks wannabes. The amount of Celtic fans who follow her on twitter is mental. She makes all the right noises to dupe folk into thinking she's Mrs Celtic.

{Ed007's Note - It's creepy mate.}

15 Jun 2016 13:17:51
We are being linked with the usual suspects and/ or players BR has been linked with in the past.
It's them on the dark side filling tabloid and social media space.
BR said at his CP unveiling that he would wait until pre-season starts before deciding if any players are required. He also said he'd look at youth first as opposed to bringing in players unnecessarily.
CFC will conclude business as and when BR and his staff decide on what is required. I'm sure any news will come direct from CP direct to the fans.

15 Jun 2016 16:56:11
Where's the fun in that? I like a good crazy rumour or two.

15 Jun 2016 17:52:41
Heard rodgers liked ckr and has td pl he should've had say in him leaving or not . and wants him bought back.

15 Jun 2016 19:05:28
That's more like it! 😂

15 Jun 2016 19:12:46
Oh aye there's a belter of a rumour.

15 Jun 2016 19:33:16
CKR was always leaving.

15 Jun 2016 12:21:35
Impressed with the Hungary team last night, especially Kadar (Poznan) , Fiola (Puskas AFC) , and Kleinheisler (Bremen) .
Wouldn't mind us taking a closer look at these guys, probably wouldn't break the bank either.

15 Jun 2016 12:38:13
Kleinheisler impressed me a bit looked kind a player gets up and down park bit of a pest of player but only joined Bremen in January but bar what i seen yesterday don't know much about lad.

14 Jun 2016 22:59:35
Alfred Finnboggason. Would still love to see him in the Hoops.

15 Jun 2016 08:37:37
Would still be a good signing, lost his way a bit, BR could get him firing again. It's all a bit quiet though, was expecting one or two in for the start of pre season which I think is on Monday 20th.

15 Jun 2016 09:04:45
He signed for Ausburg permanently there after a good loan spell from January did he not? Anyway far as I know he scored a few goals for them and helped them stay in bundesliga, another 1 pistol Pete messed about way. The captain for Iceland Bhoy who plays for Swansea good player but think he would command a transfer fee

15 Jun 2016 11:37:18
Sigurdsson, would command a huge fee.

15 Jun 2016 09:15:11
Kev I'm sure the transfer window doesn't open til 1st of July buddy, think the scottish one is open but there's nobody up here worth buying! Pre season starts on Monday so it will give Brendan some time to look at what he's got and what we need when the window opens! Priority for me must be a striker and anothe centre half! Hopefully both are a bit of quality!

16 Jun 2016 19:46:42
I wouldn't get over excited about not signing a Icelandic reserve . Finnabogsson may or may not have done a worthwhile job for us over the last 3/ 4 years but I guess some people on forums know more than experts who are paid .

17 Jun 2016 00:29:12
Old bhoy any one of us could've done a better job scouting strikers than Park. In fact Park could've probably done a better job as striker than most of the clowns he "suggested".

19 Jun 2016 00:38:11
The problem is some fans actually believe you Stephbhoy.
