Whats the window wishlist bhoys.
A keeper or two. tbh I was a bit surprised about the forster situation. I genuinely thought he would be right up for it.
But I guess there still sometime to go. i don't think its completely dead.
My priority is a LB. one that can get to the bye line. And has a bit of stature.
A Cb to challenge ajer. i have watched a lot of games in lockdown and ajer imo had a pretty dodgy time of things last season.
I still think something could be done in the middle of the park also.
But totally agree with what was said previously. There are games especially at CP where we could be giving some youngest a chance. ofcourse it a big year but some could contribute in some games. (as long as we are five up🤣🤣) .
Hope everyone is well.

For me GK number one priority CB Priority and if any more a striker.

03 Jul 2020 01:14:34
Agree Tony. Still think we'll get Forster. A commanding centre half to play beside Jullien should be next.

03 Jul 2020 08:23:03
By the looks of it we can't rely on elhamed to be fit so for me also a RB.

03 Jul 2020 08:30:56
Goalie, Centre Back, Left/ right winger and a Broony clone.

03 Jul 2020 12:08:57
Frimpong Liamlennon?

03 Jul 2020 13:32:12
Think we need another to challenge frimpong and without sounding to negative he has a lot of weaknesses.

03 Jul 2020 15:23:37
Goalkeeper, maybe 2. LB if Bolingoli is still on the naughty step. RW to challenge Forrest (Roberts) . CB, preferably left footed.

Official from the club 17.000 on waiting list but don't expect to read that in the rags.

02 Jul 2020 14:53:34
The record have done a piece on it.

02 Jul 2020 15:05:16
Someone from inside Celtic Park also stated that Celtic had in fact sold more season tickets than Sevco. Which obviously comes as no surprise. 🍀.

02 Jul 2020 17:03:19
Celtic SLO said more than 40,000 last week. C.V. or no C.V. it was always going to be a sell out.

02 Jul 2020 21:30:25
Absolutely no chance there are 17,000 on the waiting list. The club are trying to scaremonger current season ticket holders into renewing. Last week there were just over 7000. If there were 17,000 the club would not have extended the renewal deadline last week.

02 Jul 2020 21:56:25
Ice man you think the club is daft enough to take a chance getting caught out in that type of lie your on the glue.

02 Jul 2020 22:24:45
I am currently on the waiting list and know for a fact that last week there were just over 7,200 on the waiting list. Fast forward 7 days and all of a sudden there are 17,000. Not a chance. Ask yourself this if there were 17,000 on the waiting list Why did the club extend the renewal date for a third time two days before the deadline and not just sell the remaining seats to fans on the waiting list.

Ice Man
The club extend the season book deadline every year nothing sinister in it. Also maybe they are just showing a wee bit loyalty to support with season books at this difficult time.
Ed can a PLC realise statements that are inaccurate.

{Ed007's Note - I'm no expert but I wouldn't imagine so as it could be seen as misleading shareholders, investors and sponsors by claiming the business is stronger than it actually is.}

im hearing the fraser foster move might still happen the big man is wanting a permanent move wile Celtic want a loan. Celtic are trying to get the asking price down. ed007 could you clear this up for us mate is there still a chance big fraser could sign.

{Ed007's Note - I'd say there's still a slim chance of Forster returning as there's been some amount of BS being reported over the last few days with people just making stuff up to look as if they know what's going on.}

02 Jul 2020 10:41:01
The papers yesterday said he decided to stay at Southampton after Hasenhuttl promised him a fair crack at the jersey. Now they're saying he'd have come if the transfer was a straight permanent deal rather than a loan with an option. The things you can get away with if you declare it came from a confidential source. If he was worth £10M at his peak then a few injuries, a lack of playing time and a global C.V. should dictate that they'd need to have an asking price which reflects that.

{Ed007's Note - Yet there was some places claiming there was an option to buy in the loan deal which means the price was agreed between the Clubs and it was Forster who turned us down. then - as you say, Kev - it changed to Hasenhuttl would give him a chance to win back the No.1 spot.}

I might be being cynical but with 9 in a row, Moi re-signing and the Adidas deal maybe there was too much positivity for some journalists and this was a way to spread some misery around our support.

02 Jul 2020 12:20:35
Hi Ed, hope you and yours are well mate. If big Forster doesn’t come back to us, have you seen much of Padt. I thought that he looked pretty solid from what i can find and don’t think he would cost us a fortune considering the importance of this next season.

{Ed007's Note - We're doing OK mate thanks and we hope you and the family are doing well. I've not seen anything of Padt to be honest mate, I remember he was well thought of when he was a youngster at Ajax but that's about it.
He only has a year to run on his deal so he might be available this summer.}

02 Jul 2020 13:03:59
Said yesterday don't believe the papers they're only interested in sevco feel good stories.

02 Jul 2020 09:00:17
Ed, who is going to be the next Celtic number 1; Bain, Hart, Marshall or someone not mentioned?

{Ed007's Note - Right now I have no idea.}

02 Jul 2020 12:20:48
If it was up to you Ed.

{Ed007's Note - If it was up to me it would be Forster and I wouldn't go near either Hart or Marshall - surely there must be better options than those two but we all know Lawwell likes the cheaper options.
I'd take Barkas before Hart or Marshall, in fact I'd use Bain before them as well.}

02 Jul 2020 17:31:24
If hart or marshall come in I think they would either be behind bain or would lose their place pretty sharpish.

02 Jul 2020 18:00:25
I think the Southampton wanting Foster to fight for a first team place is just made up crap. I think Foster wanted a perm deal and when celtic offered him another loan he took the hump and the agent or Southampton came out with that story so our fans would be upset with him only my opinion though so do not shoot the messenger.
