Neil Lennon confirms we aren't in for Kevin Doyle at his press conference today. On tv, he looked very sheepish when asked about Alfred Finnbogason. I sense something is going on.
I hope you are right about this one or celtic will have 4 strikers and no out and out goal scorer between them if doyle is signed for a physical presence why pay 2 million for balde,
In lenny we trust

Bet'ya the Icelander signs for Celtic, Lenny wants him and he'll get him, watch this space
I have a feeling, if the Finnbogason deal goes ahead, it will be after the Elfsborg game. and pending a psotive result for us.
Or maybe I am just holding onto hope more than anything.
Glad we are not wasting time on these nobody strikers the papers have linked us with over the last 6 months
Finnabogson seems to be an ideal striker for us, surely Lennon has seen that Stokes just ain't good enough. He is SPL at best hence he flopped in England and came back.
I took it from his reaction that there is something going on behind the scenes regarding that deal hope we get him! that's one exciting possability if he signs I think our club will have delivered

Hope we get this guy in . I just moved back to Scotland after two years in Holland finnbogasson will make hooper look like Wayne Biggins he will be our best since Larsson the board need to act now!
Iv heard we will sign him but only if we get through this next round and have a reasonable chance of of beating the next team for the group stages but if we get drawn against an arsenal then he will just go with what he has as it would be asking a lot and board won't want to spend for the uefa cup.

Why would we fear Arsenal anymore? We've beaten better, but to do it again the board need to reinvest in the team, as they have so often promised to do. Surely a tough final qualifying draw would be our 'cup final' this season from the boards point of view. We're also reminded often enough how we don't budget ourselves on the CL, money gained from that is a bonus apparently. So surely money gained from sales can be spent back on players. Entirely (or near enough). Far too much re-action and not enough pro-action at times if you ask me. Plus, if we do drop into the Europa I'd still be hoping the board to support NL and have a right good go at it.

Cant get arsenal in the final round if we make it as we're In The champions route
We're seeded for play off round if we get thru this qualifier so we won't get arsenal
