Where has that Skinnybhoy gone? I thought he would have been flooding us with rumors by now, Day 2 and all quiet.

I'm waiting for Hoops88 to make an appearance with his reliable sources.

Maybe Ed007 could give us any info he might have on new signings. Do you still expect James McCarthy to sign Ed?

{Ed007's Note - I never said I expected McCarthy to sign.}

missing the transfer mince maself lads, so im going to start one, i heard thru a reliable source ( guy that sells two fur a pound socks in paisley) that we are on the verge of signing mark wright from towie as cover for left back, although were getting him on a free it severely depletes our budget as it means we have to double the intake of fake tan and teeth whitener, were also looking at steve evans as fitness coach and iain dowie as the face of celtic.

Love the term "transfer mince" lol! Been waiting for a "reliable source" who drinks with Yaya Toure's uncle's mate to tell us he's up for a medical and it's a done deal!

Hoops88 was always good for info.

Hoopy new year to you all bhoys! Who do you think we will be bringing in this month? Don't think we need anyone domestically but bringing them in now with champions league qualifiers in mind makes so much more sense. Hope you all had a good one. 🍀.

I'd like to sign paddy Roberts permanently but with only €8Mill to spend it's unlikely to happen.

03 Jan 2017 14:22:04
I read that Rodgers will have £6 million to spend, but will he not also get the sell on fee from any sale of van Dykk? If so, I really agree and hope he does make Roberts a permanent signing.

Apart from the usual neanderthals, well done showing a bit of respect for the 66 people who did not return home on this day 1971 RIP.

Happy New Year all
I haven't posted for a while but I'd like to give Stuart Armstrong a special mention. I have to hold my hands up and say I got it wrong on this lad. I didn't think he was good enough to wear the hoops but it's with huge credit to the boy and the gaffer how he's turned things around. He has been immense the last couple of months. I'm not sure his contract situation but I hope we get him tied up on a long term deal.

I always liked Armstrong and thought he was a real prospect, but I totally agree he has taken it to another level - I was just saying to my brother that he has been MOM or very close to it for about the past ten games that I've seen him. Brilliant player and a real contender for player of the year in my opinion. Along with Brown, Sinclair, Dembele, Sviatchenko, Rogic - and I'm not even being biased!

Can tell he's really worked on parts of his game and got there through his own hard work. A lot can be said for other players this year (Brown, Forrest, Lustig, Gordon etc) all players who most fans would liked to have seen be replaced at end of last season. Credit to Rodgers, his man management skill and attention to detail have really improved the squad.

I fairness to Armstrong it was RDs insistence on playing him wide left caused a lot of his problems always thought he was good player.
