I think Scott Brown could be just the player that David Beckham is looking for to galvanise Inter Miami into a league winning team.

So ed007 as a back up striker and something different, what would be your thoughts on Cosgrove be?

Believable5 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Him and Tam Cowan are quite funny at times but he tries far too hard to sound like like an intellectual, he reminds me of Frankie Boyle with his comedic delivery and Boyle's a f@nny.}

Aye very good boss 😂😂.

Ed Just my opinion but I'd sign Prince Harry and play him at centre forward. Apparently despite knowing that his decision to step back from Royal duties would upset his granny the Queen. he responded 'Feck the Queen! ' Sign him and James McLean.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Well Harry did marry a Catholic and the rumours have been going round for years that his dad, James Hewitt loves the Rebs.}

09 Jan 2020 21:14:33
The spit ed but who are we to speculate 🤣🤣.

Ha ha Ed, I'm sure I've seen his dads ginger bonce jumping about at the last CATB gig at the Barrowlands.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That was probably Kev from An Spiorad 😁 He says that he's strawberry blonde 😂

09 Jan 2020 22:25:46
Did Harry’s step father not marry a Catholic.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 23:14:24
its all part of a larger plan Ed.
Harry will become President of USA, revoke the Declaration of Independence and HR will get back one of her dominions.
(Also, it deflects attention from randy andy's escapades for a while.

Even with Sinclair and Morgan away I still think we have enough wide men to move on with Striker if Bayo and Griff not trusted.

The January transfer window is like another Christmas I need to wait to see what I get only to find it it's not the one I wanted or asked for 😂😂😂😂.

09 Jan 2020 18:13:26
With Sinclair and Morgan on way out it looks like Lennon has his eye on a wide man. Anyone any ideas or who you would like.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

09 Jan 2020 19:10:24
Probably just trimming the squad and we still have Elyounoussi, Johnston and Hayes on the left and Forrest and Arzani on the right.

If we are getting anyone in I would imagine it would be a right winger but reckon our main aim is to get another striker and centre back in.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 19:34:35
I think Forrest needs some competition, he hasn't played well for a while now.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 20:05:18
Lennon has spoke a few times about needing wide men
Definitely need both a left and right because hayes, johnstone, arzani and shevd can't be relied on long term.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You don't get much wider than our board 😉

09 Jan 2020 23:21:45
if the players we already have turn up we will be unbeatable. "IF"

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 18:06:56
If the ismaila soro deal is on then I'm hoping it's 3rd time lucky with signing Ivorians as the last 2 have been a disaster so far, actually forgot kouassi was still a celtic player.
As for bayo maybe it's not been a disaster as such and the Lad just needs a run of games to boost his confidence a bit, if we're really after that sporar then sending bayo on loan as part of a deal would surely make sense since he played in the same league before signing for us.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

09 Jan 2020 18:17:15
Doubt it will be 3rd time lucky when he's about the 6th player we have signed to have come from there.

Kolo wasn't exactly a success either. His Ambrose performance against Monchengladbach is hard to forget.

What's going on with agent Dudu Dahan and his Israeli based players to any team Lennys in charge of? Must be some serious backhanders getting handed out 🤔.

What's the problem using a trusted agent? Most teams do.

09 Jan 2020 18:57:41
A trusted agent Kev! Never knew such a thing existed 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 19:16:33
Every club has a few agents they like to work with and have good relations with.

I really don't see anyone problem with this guy seeing as only one player he represented came to us and failed
The rest have done well and big el hammed looks like he will to.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Will we just pretend signing Amido Balde, Rami Gershon, Stefan Scepovic and Colin Kazim-Richards didn't happen, Kev?}

09 Jan 2020 19:38:25
I just read a list of our signings way him and only gershon was on it ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He was involved in all of those transfers. It was Dahan that got Kazim-Richards his two-and-a-half-year deal on the last day of the January 2016 window when he needed to get out of Holland after threatening a journalist - we hadn't even scouted him.}

09 Jan 2020 20:10:08
Well now to your superior knowledge there ed but I still don't understand why everyone got a bug up there arse about this guy?
I'd bet if you go through all the players we have right now loads with share an agent with someone else in the squad.
Ad also be if you went through our hits and misses over last 10 years loads of them would share agents tae?

I really wonder if this guy was a different nationality if anyone would mention his name.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Och behave, ffs, Kev.}

09 Jan 2020 20:26:27
Really ed. Can I ask you this? Do you know the agent of every 1st team player without looking it up? Because I'd say most of fans moaning about this guy won't no any of the rest.
Well other than the scottish wideo guy that brown uses.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'm talking about your last sentence, Kev. You can go on any Celtic forum and there's been people talking about Duhan's odd(?) involvement in our transfer activity going back about 10 years - the same as we've all spoke about John Park acting like a DOF and Mark Lawwell working for Man City - it's hee-haw to do with where Duhan's from. It's pretty pathetic to eve suggest that.}

09 Jan 2020 20:52:41
Some of the stuff I seen wrote when signing el hammed would beg to differ ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The same Elhamed that Neil Lennon says he watched 4 or 5 times while he was out injured and/or banned?}

09 Jan 2020 21:03:44
I don't have a problem with the guy, just noted that in Lennys first spell we signed a few of his players when he was at Hibs he signed a keeper and now it seems to be continuing although El Hammed looks a cracking signing if he can get his arse off the treatment table😂 Was it no dodgy Harry down in the pub league that was up to shenanigans with getting bungs for signing certain players.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Fergie and plenty others liked a bung over the years. Ofir Marciano was apparently told that there was a pathway to join Celtic if he signed for Hibs.}

09 Jan 2020 21:36:36
Souness was at it tae, I mind the boy he signed for Southampton that said he was George Weahs cousin and Souness gave him a deal. The lad hadn't kicked a baw in his life😂.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Boumsong to Newcastle that first attracted the police and HMRC to Rangers financial dodgy cheating? Water Smith's Everton's dealings with Paul Stretford - and amongst others the sale of Michael Ball - starting with signing Peter Degn were also dodgy.}

09 Jan 2020 15:52:38
Dream scenario. Sinclair, Morgan, Koassi, Hendry out the door with the moose bein sold for mega bucks.
Over to u Pedro u got mega bucks to spend. The time is nigh.
Even u would get good odds on that timbo.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

09 Jan 2020 18:17:11
I still believe there's a player in kouassi if he can ever stay fit enough to play is another story though.

Agree2 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 20:12:27
I think that as well jaws but I think his time has passed now.

09 Jan 2020 12:55:38
ED007 what is your honest opinion, will Pedro again play silly b. ggers and mess around with low ball offers or will he give Lennon some support. It looks like Bristol City have jumped ahead of us with the player Sporar (Bristol City for fek sake) and now again paper talk of loans of players that cannot get a game down south.
Please tell us at least ONE quality signing will be made.
"worried Tim, Glasgow"

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Lawwell will do what he always does and that's try to get the best deal he can for Celtic, lowball offers will not always down to Lawwell as Hammond will have a say in what players are worth.
It looks like after we held talks regarding Sporar someone decided not to pursue the deal (maybe just for now) so nobody's jumped ahead of us with that, if we had wanted him I think he would have been here by now unless the club/players demands are unrealistic or Celtic feel they'll get better value for money elsewhere. I don't imagine anyone at Celtic being impressed with the way everything was being made public from their end either.
I'm as sure that there will be signings as much as I am that they will not be the required quality by some supporters.
January is always a difficult time to do deals as clubs don't want to lose their best players so you're working in a limited marketplace.}

09 Jan 2020 14:01:03
I remember years ago Celtic pulling the plug on a deal for Israeli striker Omer Damari because his club came out and made the deal public before anything was signed. Originally Lenny said there was nothing in the stories liking us with Sporar and when Bratislava decided to go public regarding meeting Celtic officials he had to backtrack and admit there was interest. It wouldn’t surprise me if PL was not at all happy with Bratislava.

Best wishes at Preston, Scott Sinclair.
I have no idea what happened to him at Celtic. He was terrific then almost overnight he was history as far as playing was concerned. HH.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

09 Jan 2020 12:55:13
I’ve been told that Sinclair, Lustig and Rogic complained that going to Dublin prior to playing Rangers at ibrox wasn’t the proper preparation for such an important game and we know how that game panned out. Lennon wasn’t happy with their comments, Lustig was moved on Sinclair never got a chance now he is gone, and Rogic seldom plays. Lennon needs to grow up and stop the stubborness.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 13:28:38
Few holes in that one killy.
Sinclair wasnt playing before that.
Lustig was on his last legs and would have been a back up player this season.
Rogic has been injured most the time or ineffective as use while Christie has been ripping it up in his position.

Agree3 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 22:42:44
Kev I understand what you are saying about Sinclair not playing before that, but he has never been quoted this season despite Lennon saying he is still in his plans whilst Morgan despite being absolute dross was preferred and he is now punted. With regards to Lustig, yes he wasn’t getting any younger but his experience would have been invaluable and his love and willingness to fight for Celtic would also have been a massive influence. Just my opinion and that’s what this site is for.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2020 11:18:18
@Bobthecat
That's the thing no one knows why it went bad for Sinclair non of of us know but as usual it's Celtics fault in the eyes of some.

It all changes for him over night and he was slated on here. I know it's a rumours site but sometimes Celtic fans including me don't look at the whole picture. Maybe he changed we don't know we seen to never know what's going on. We are a rich club who only invest enough to just win. We need to sell a few and buy ready made players who will be able to start right away or as proved in the past won't be up to speed if we leave it to long as they need a break in period not 6 months later in Dubie to push the levels up.

Boli Julien foster frimpong Baeur Taylor all Lennon's and great buys. Now in theory that lot should be up to maximum speed. A great rest and fun and competition to go after another league. I hope I'm right we will see.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jan 2020 22:22:33
Talking about Lennon getting it wrong here’s one he got wrong today he said that Sinclair was going to be a loan deal till end of season but reports say it’s a two and a half year deal.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

09 Jan 2020 09:56:54
Rich, we'll consider that as a massive bonus as it means we don't have to cover any of his wages. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2020 12:20:18
@rich it is prob a loan till end of season and due to him being in final months of his contract he can negotiate a deal for future which will be the 2 year part. So Neil is right prob on Celtic side.
