Eboue should be wrapped up soon from what we're reading but we should be wary of getting a taste for transfers with such an early signing because BR has said himself probably just one or two will come in. Even today we've been linked with Lansbury and Duverne and tomorrow it will be another name. I'm quite content that if Eboue is a Celtic player by the end of the week we may well have a fortnite or so of absolutely nothing before something else crops up.

I recon that it will only be two or three in to be honest. Not panicked about only getting a couple as long as theyou are the right players who improve the squad instead of just adding numbers.

Could do with centre forward for cover only have 2 (great as they may be, may get injured) or is there young player ready to step up?

Would be happy to see three or four moved out permanently in this window as well to help free-up cash for investment in new arrivals or improving contracts.

Hope this Eboue signing signals the end for Bitton. Sounds like a prospect too.

Bitton has been excellent in small bursts but never consistent enough to cement a place. He definitely lacks heart and fight when the chips are down though, and that doesn't wash with Celtic fans.

Bitton has shown real quality. But the difference between a good player and a great one is of course consistency. Not sure he has the energy or mentality for what BR is trying to do.

Would be sad to see Biton go as on his day can be a great player, but think his time is slowly coming to an end.

Eds,

Would just like to wish you all a Happy New Year, Best wishes and good health to you and your families for 2017. Also to the many great people who contribute to making this such a good site. Hopefully get back to making a contribution myself.

Would just like to add a wee special mention for Armstrong and Izzy. Really think they have been outstanding these last couple of months.

All the best to you all, HH.

Pretty disgusted that anyone would disagree with that comment considering my dad goes back into hospital tomorrow. Regardless if its a Rangers fan using this site or one of our own you a vile through and through. A coward hiding behind a computer.

I am right in saying scott brown is due his testimonual this year? I for won will be buying a ticket to show my appreciateing home really is where the heart is with browny should be a good day for us to show how much he means to us great servant.

Agreed 100% WCW. Yes it's his testimonial Year. Absolutely no doubt where Broonies heart lies. Excellent captain and performances this year once again have been fantastic. I'm sure his contribution to Celtic over the 10 years will be reflected in the turnout for his testimonial.

04 Jan 2017 13:06:13
Do yous think they'll have one for him this year? Personally a think it would be better in a couple of years when he's winding down. Don't see the need for testimonials anymore wae all the money they make, better having a charity match at the end of his celtic career. Saying that I'd still take the kids along.

04 Jan 2017 16:30:49
theres already a charity game pencilled in for the end of the season a henrik side v a lubo side.

A know mate am just meaning the players at top clubs make enough now without testimonials, it's nothing against broonie by the way, just that testimonials were meant as a final pay day, a just don't think players on £15-20K per week really need it. Look am pretty sure broonie would donate a big chunk if not all to charity anyway.
