Apperently the Edouard from PSG deal is off, it's Gona announce soon it's starting to spread! It won't get complete! Another failure of a window vastly closing before our eyes.
1.) 31 Aug 2017 19:57:25
do people think this is a good window, if it closes with no further additions, only real quality added is ncham and Roberts, well he not celtics, as such never will be. I don't understand as looking in from neutral view I think Rodgers will be fuming deep down, well let down. Let's be honest with that defence psg will destroy you.
2.) 31 Aug 2017 19:59:50
More Bollocks Matt!
3.) 31 Aug 2017 20:01:42
Just like your last post about the Roberts deal being off?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡.
4.) 31 Aug 2017 20:04:47
Unless Rodgers is genuinely happy with what he has - all that bollox about keeping 2 striker happy - then why do we 38 midfielders?
5.) 31 Aug 2017 20:25:03
I'm hearing from people guessing, that we will do no business today.
I have to be honest and say this rumour is the most believable one I've heard yet.
6.) 31 Aug 2017 20:51:27
Another time waster.
7.) 31 Aug 2017 21:00:33
I will be disappointed if we do t sign players tonight. Mr Lawell stated after the draw we would sign 4 (am I right? ) Brendan said he wouldn't put a number on it as he didn't want the 'what about. ' fingers crossed.
8.) 31 Aug 2017 21:44:17
We are desperate for a centre half. will be slaughtered if we have to play Bitton against PSG!
9.) 31 Aug 2017 22:04:31
He's on a flight from London right now. According to various guessers. Seems to have traction this one.
10.) 31 Aug 2017 22:27:32
Well Matt1888, where you hiding? you not got anymore news for us?
11.) 02 Aug 2017 21:47:21
Gunner90. Think it's a bit weird that u even have an opinion on us considering how your team is struggling so bad! The majority of Celtic fans will be happy with our business, even though we were hoping for a ch, but your lot are in turmoil 😂😂😂😂😂. As for how our manager is feeling. I think u should care more about your own managers feelings. He'll be in his wee nursing home wondering why all his "fans" are against him😜.
26 Aug 2017 11:03:35
From what I hear, paddy Roberts deal is off now Brendan is gona make a move for James mcclean, 6million or a winger from Newcastle duno who it's ment to b though, maybe Matt Ritchie but he could b too much money.
1.) 26 Aug 2017 11:20:45
Yer awfy in the no matt who's yer source.
2.) 26 Aug 2017 11:33:54
Matt - come on
McClean for 6 million. This lad isn't good enough for us and neither is Matt Ritchie or any Newcastle player for that matter.
Roberts is a class act, you don't go from Roberts to this dross if your looking to improve.
3.) 26 Aug 2017 12:50:03
I think they should leave PR cause going with What ED says is that PR wants to come on Loan not permanently I would be saying we are moving on cause there is not one player bigger than the club.
4.) 26 Aug 2017 13:40:15
I like everyone on hear would absolutely love wee paddy to come back! But to say this has dragged on long enough is an understatement! If we pin all our hopes on us getting him and have no back up plan I'll be seriously pissed off! This is all to familiar to me when it comes to our transfer dealings! If by next Thursday nite we've only added the young SA centre back I'll be raging! Especially after seeing the prices for the CL package! Not so much mine but the price for youngsters is scandalous! 90 pound for my 14 year old nephew, ripping the pish so they are! So I'll repeat, if we only add coatzee I'll be raging! Come on lawell act like the CL club your so more than happy to announce we are!
5.) 26 Aug 2017 13:51:56
To be honest we'd be better tracking someone else. They'll leave it to late and bring no one in.
6.) 26 Aug 2017 13:55:24
Hoopy88are you in there?
7.) 26 Aug 2017 13:58:21
Just read below so not hoops maybe skinnybhoy.
8.) 26 Aug 2017 14:08:10
My mate an his dad have excustive box at parkhead I work for them, last year they told me about signing dembele weeks affore it was even announced, been a good source of information for past few years! There totally celtic die Hard's! His dads been a season ticket holder for like 40 years soo he's seen it all the big chap also got many wrong but don't we all there adamant paddy Roberts ain't coming have been for weeks.
9.) 26 Aug 2017 14:12:34
Also James mc clean might be a bit a risk but one things for sure he is gona give u 100% wearing the top of the club he adores wouldn't mind Matt Ritchie would b very similar type of player to commons would score for fun in scotland, don't know about Europe though both would be welcome in my eyes.
10.) 26 Aug 2017 20:08:44
a very similar player to commons.
there endeth the post.
11.) 26 Aug 2017 20:21:13
Deal for South African centre half is off, failed medical, who now.
12.) 27 Aug 2017 08:58:52
Mclean wound be a disaster. Football and PR wise. What are bothering when we have already signed the new Reggie.
13.) 29 Aug 2017 10:02:24
Well Matt, you will need to get on to your pals who are in the know and let them know, what they knew was a figment. To be fair they are in a massive group who had s feeling and passed it off as fact.
Hope you rip the Pish out of them. And avoid believing them next year. 😀.
25 Aug 2017 12:08:50
celtic only gona sign the revaldo kid from south Africa, our money is gona go towards offering new bumper deals like dembele an grif etc Rodgers is happy with his squad an wanta to test young Miller as second choice left back! Don't build your hopes up for paddy Roberts its not happening as we may go back in January for an actual bid rather than loan! Man city have stood firm they won't loan him to celtic they only sell!
1.) 25 Aug 2017 12:24:21
That to me sounds like there is no ambition to move on in Europe wae the squad we have at the moment no way are we getting past 3rd spot this year the will maybe there but the desire from the board not so much.
2.) 25 Aug 2017 13:00:01
If I don't see a big player come in after the 60+ million we've brought in over the past season and a bit i will be gutted. Surely Rodgers knows he can strengthen anywhere on the park. That Right Wing spot needs filled pronto. Like ED always says Florist won't be the player he is currently all season. Always drops off, and that's no good in my opinion. They speak of "multiple targets" but they don't do anything about it. Standard Lawell.
3.) 25 Aug 2017 13:18:35
Who said that matt lawells said ladt night hoping to get :2 signings over the line: quote.
4.) 25 Aug 2017 13:30:34
I'm sorry but where are you getting this from? do you know exactly what's going on in the boardroom or are you just hoping we don't sign any quality signings.
5.) 25 Aug 2017 13:34:34
Nonsense. Plus BR has tested Calvin Miller at left back on numerous occassions already that's hardly or anything we don't know already.
6.) 25 Aug 2017 13:39:52
How many sugars does Ian Bankier take in his Tea that's what I really want to know.
7.) 25 Aug 2017 13:40:00
You reckon the 2 signings are Roberts and ****** or is it Roberts and Coetzee? He had said the Coetzee deal was done, so is it 3 players coming in? Darkie on BT sport said something about a 10 million pound striker? I.
8.) 25 Aug 2017 14:07:10
emmm *who* on BT Sports?!?!?!
9.) 25 Aug 2017 14:15:09
Even if we spent 100 million on players we would only finish 3rd, maybe. Splashing money on better players won't help us that much so what's the point. Brendan can bring the best out in what we've got. Why not keep it that way. Ntcham for 4.5million looking a bargain. If we get another couple like that over the next few seasons were laughing.
10.) 25 Aug 2017 15:01:13
That's what Hartson was calling him cavalcanti haha. I'm on about progressing the squad now deila. Players take time to gel. Eboue has taken a year for example. Unluckily picked up an injury.
11.) 25 Aug 2017 15:27:47
You can only develop your own to a point it's about getting a balance you can't stand still youve got to keep strengthening who knows we might surprise the big hitters.
12.) 25 Aug 2017 15:43:46
Its not a rumour it's facted, paddy ain't coming home city will sell but we r to far under the valuation, its no lie he wants another crack up here but from the start he has the desire to play in the premier league, as for Miller am talking about the champions league he hasn't been tested against the rangers. Not that its a test! But don't build your hopes up about 2 signings! Ave heard lawells says a lot a things through the years an nothing has happened so believe what use will, use r gona get worked up for no reason, have faith in the team like the manager simple.
13.) 25 Aug 2017 16:19:24
Cant beat a bit of early team news. So BR is going to either drop KT, play him in a different position or substitute him so that he can test CM in 6 of our most important games of the season. Sorry but that is nonsense.
14.) 25 Aug 2017 17:04:36
CM is a great player and has a big future ahead of him at Celtic but if he is only going to be tested at CL level this season if KT is unavailable. He is more than capable of playing LB in the SPL at the moment where it is less of a risk his time at CL level will come once he has learnt how to play this new position. Id like to see him given some game time in his more natural attacking position.
15.) 25 Aug 2017 17:31:27
He needs to build himself up a bit. Think that will come with age! Ralston reminds me of Adam Matthews for some reason haha.
16.) 25 Aug 2017 17:47:16
I could believe that tbh.
17.) 25 Aug 2017 17:55:51
never says he'll push kt out the team behave yerself mate, my point is he is the reason why we haven't bought a back uo left back, wouldn't b surprised if kt plays centre back in more games through this season in the league, both ralston will b in same situation see a lot more game time, would love a centre back an winger but I doubt it will happen.
18.) 25 Aug 2017 18:01:12
I thought I heard some banter about Hartson on the matchday chitchat, Ken. Didn't catch his remarks myself, but they're obviously offensive. It wasn't that long ago we were all outraged at the vile treatment of Scott Sinclair after all. Let's keep the language inclusive on here, at least.
19.) 25 Aug 2017 18:16:42
Your saying BR is going to test him in CL if that's the case where? he's not going to start at left back ahead of KT or start at left mid ahead of SS. We all know he is currently 2nd choice LB and he will start plenty SPL games against the diddy teams like Kilmarnock, Dundee, Sevco and Partick.
20.) 25 Aug 2017 18:24:32
His name is Ian Darke. That's why he gets called Darkie Cavalcanti. It's a nickname.
21.) 25 Aug 2017 19:28:46
And this wholeheartedly proves, that political correctness has condemned some people to a life of jumping the gun and being left with egg or their face, like kirk broadfoot.
22.) 25 Aug 2017 21:16:37
Fair enough Ken, thanks for explaining. As a former 'Starky' I catch your drift.
I still object to 'darkie' however. Its not like the word doesn't have a very specific usage and history in British English. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as follows: 'darkie. A Black, esp. a Southern U. S. Black (usu. considered patronizing or offensive) ' To use the term, however unwittingly, is to invoke a history of enslavement, segregation, and white supremacism that is anything but over.
But then I never did get why it was 'Packie' Bonner either. Sometimes, a name is just name. The fact that both are very white males makes all the difference to the context, of which I was wholly unaware. But 'Darkie on BT sport said' invites a challenge, surely!
23.) 25 Aug 2017 22:27:39
I'm the context the word has been used there is no issue. Dry your eyes mate.
24.) 25 Aug 2017 22:46:28
'I'm the context' or 'in the context' Dafa?
Probably were talking about a different language anyway.
25.) 25 Aug 2017 23:08:50
As a black Celtic fan I was pissed off to read about the darkie on BT Sports. Okay I didn't watch the show.
{Ed007's Note - Nobody used the term 'the darkie'. Behave yourself and stop looking for something to be offended by. It's been explained and if you've got a problem take it up with BT or even the man himself as he's been known as Darkie in sporting circles and the media for years.}
26.) 26 Aug 2017 08:52:36
Taking offence to this is like taking offence to pat bonner getting called packie.

if we don't sign anyone the board should be ashamed! 4.5 million outa a near 40 million intake, Rodgers a a hero or not he will be raging deep down who wouldn't be.
{Ed007's Note - So what have the board done wrong that'll get our manager raging, do you honestly think the board have pulled the plug on deals to save money? Do you want them just to throw money about paying over the odds for average players like happened under Mowbray, Lennon and Deila?}
1.) 31 Aug 2017 14:15:19
We paid 4.5 just for ntcham.
1.3 for Hayes
The loan deal for Robert is ment to be in the millions
Loan fee for this other young bhoy
So spent more than you say.
2.) 31 Aug 2017 14:37:58
The way I see it (like every window) are we stronger than when the season ended? Without doubt we are!
3.) 31 Aug 2017 14:48:01
Not slagging the board here but we've shipped over 20 odd players off the wage bill plus supposedly took 1.3m in for izzy plus a fee for gms so the ntcham and paddy fees is about it.
4.) 31 Aug 2017 15:27:12
Aye but we were supposed to be cash rich after last year's champions league and selling vvd etc and we've qualified this year . If we get the vvd money this year were in profit so why not spend some and have at least the best the club could possibly have?
5.) 31 Aug 2017 16:10:55
Seriously some of you need to get a hold of yourself bitching like wee lassie we all want the best for our club but it's just no possible we have spent quite a bit to b honest we are stronger than last session building a hotel as well so why are u moaning? We have the best team we have had since O'Neill best infrastructure that'll last for years to come a manager that's STILL unbeaten in Scotland and we will only get stronger with it so do us all a favour away greet somewhere else eh and if any of you are old enough to actually remember the days before and after the bonnet shame cause u know how it was back then hail hail love our club 💚💚.
