Ed is GG wanting out? Or is it agent after more money for him?
{Ed007's Note - It's been rumoured that Gio is unhappy with the money on offer or that he wants to be the No.1 striker and even that his Mrs isn't liking living in Scotland with a young family. I initially thought it was just his agent playing the game for an improved deal for Gio but it's always a worry when players change agent and especially midseason so I do expect Gio to be away in January or summer at the latest.}
1.) 15 Dec 2022 13:15:31
If he wasn't happy with the money why did he sign for us to start with.
{Ed007's Note - The money on offer in an upgraded contract.}
2.) 15 Dec 2022 14:06:48
pay me what there on a week and i will play a 90 minute match every day and take 20 crunching tackles a match plus polish every players boots.
3.) 15 Dec 2022 14:11:37
Don't think ange will let this fester, ad be keeping him ti the summer, we would still get a healthy sum as he's still got a few years left on contract.
4.) 15 Dec 2022 17:41:01
I don't expect Ange to keep any unsettled players in his dressing room.
I don't blame GG if his family have not settled.
He played a massive part last season because for months, GG was our only fit striker and he produced big time.
GG would go with our best wishes and the transfer fee Celtic receive, will go towards his replacement and we all move on.
5.) 15 Dec 2022 20:57:10
I would be unhappy if I was him as well. Kyogo was off form and was still starting most games.
28 Jun 2022 18:10:07
I seen an article online about the Jota transfer being off due to his agent wanting an 8 million buy out clause in the contract.
I hope it's a load off guff.
If we had 2 pick CCV or Jota I would have went with CCV. I don't think we lost a league game when CCV and Starfelt started together.
Hopefully Jota will sign and bin his agent!
{Ed007's Note - There's also a story going round that his agent has asked for £60k a week! I'm sure such things would have been one of the first things mentioned during talks and even a general figure in his loan with option to buy deal.
I'm not believing any of it.}
1.) 28 Jun 2022 18:29:41
Am pretty sure the if jota didn't have his future sorted he wouldn't be touring the world on holiday think it's been a formality from start that he signing for us.
2.) 28 Jun 2022 20:45:15
The Jota deal was never going to be finalised without some negative rumours.
3.) 28 Jun 2022 21:20:15
Come on guys, It's been mentioned before that if there was any chance of him not signing then the Scottish MSM would have great pleasure in telling us.
Also I'm sure ED has mentioned on a few occasions that we can't officially sign him until the 1st of July due to it being an international transfer.
We will get an announcement of Friday regarding Jota, Bernabei an possibly a couple more.
4.) 28 Jun 2022 22:03:16
Exactly Jonbhoy71, too many panty wetters, same as every transfer window. HH.
5.) 29 Jun 2022 07:27:37
It’s been reported in Portugal this morning that the Jota deal to Celtic will be confirmed soon.
29 Dec 2021 13:48:10
1 of the top Spurs podcasts have said C. Vickers fee will be 2.5 or 3m and not 10m that our media reported. Vickers and Jota for 10m is some bit of business.
1.) 29 Dec 2021 14:33:17
Also hearing wolf of munchengladbach is back on our radar chuft with this really want this boy .
2.) 29 Dec 2021 15:46:16
His contract expires June 2024.
3.) 29 Dec 2021 16:32:57
It's a loan deal if anything ped.

Only 500 at games???If everybody is vaccinated and Booster what's the bloody problem?
1.) 21 Dec 2021 14:41:10
I was expecting the same as the Welsh Government, with no sport after Boxing Day.
But then the Scottish Government have Sevco travelling to Pittodrie and Celtic Park in the next week.
The Scottish Government has screwed Celtic again, the same as last season.
2.) 21 Dec 2021 14:43:23
Exactly it's a disgrace I'm actually sorry I got double jabbed what's the point.
3.) 21 Dec 2021 14:47:24
I’m cancelling my booster. F that. What’s the point in getting it all done for them to dictate to us anyway.
4.) 21 Dec 2021 14:54:30
Wee Jimmy Krankie and her band of clowns are truly useless.
Don't see the point of 500 fans at a game.
The one possible upside is maybe it will push to get more people vaccinated quicker, those who wish to get vaccinated that is ?.
5.) 21 Dec 2021 15:06:56
Disgraceful decision, postpone the games if anything, this empty stadiums is a total farce.
6.) 21 Dec 2021 15:23:41
SFA need to step in and forward the winter break.
7.) 21 Dec 2021 16:04:52
Apparently the Scottish teams are in talks about bringing the winter break forward so to the 1st January it will cover the 3 week curfew and have the Celtic v Sevco game at the end of January.
8.) 21 Dec 2021 16:47:08
Totally ridiculous decision and again the timing once again seems to penalize Celtic in particular.
9.) 21 Dec 2021 17:11:19
anybody on here who seems to think the government is screwing celtic over in favour of the sevies is totally wrong the government is screwing the common people of this nation over. we gave up our freedoms 2 year ago and they will never hand it back. we will be told what to do and when to do it from now on.
10.) 21 Dec 2021 17:51:50
Ffs do you lot actually believe the Scottish Government are putting the boot into Celtic? Have a word with yourselves ?, it’s the same for all clubs and it is necessary to do it, the SPFL / SFA should bring forward the winter break and shut down NOW not after 2nd January, it’s them who are putting the boot in to the clubs .
11.) 21 Dec 2021 19:28:34
UI and Drewzy
?.
12.) 21 Dec 2021 20:03:18
At least United Ireland is talking sense, We will go through this every year.
Every time someone sneezes there will be some new kind of strain and they will expect everyone to rush out and get another booster whilst they threaten everyone with there freedom of movement and it will keep going on until everyone says ENOUGH!
13.) 21 Dec 2021 20:05:54
Makes perfect sense to bring forward the winter break. Clubs can't afford to lose revenue so be as well having the winter break from boxing day then some might only lose maybe 1 matchday revenue if things go back to normal.
14.) 21 Dec 2021 20:25:39
There is no point in bringing forward as if its only for 3 weeks we will be opening up again in the middle of January and as soon as there is another so called spike they will just re-introduce the same measures as they just did.
Expect the same when it comes to football every year from now on.
15.) 22 Dec 2021 15:10:24
john bhoy if you think this will last 3 weeks you have not been paying attention buddy there will be no fans in the stadiums this season till the end and the rubbish show will go on to the summer and our great leaders will allow us a little freedom.
16.) 22 Dec 2021 17:02:53
Sorry UI, maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.
I meant there is no point in moving the winter break forward as that only lasts 3 weeks.
We would still only be in the middle of January and still in the middle of Flu season and the government would just reintroduce the restrictions again which they have just brought in.
I agree that there is no way we will see any full stadia again this season but its just going to be the same every year from now on, the governments are screwing football fans whilst turning a blind eye to other sports.

Ed do you think Brendan will extend his contract at the end of this season?
{Ed007's Note - I expect it'll be announced before then.}
1.) 31 Dec 2024 13:03:34
What about KT rumours Ed? Looking likely Welsh Holm and Palma heading out.
{Ed007's Note - As if this year wasn't $hite enough with losing close friends and my wee Yoda now I need to think about Kieran "Rich Tea hips" Tierney limping back to Celtic ??
2.) 31 Dec 2024 13:29:30
?am the same as you Edd but a think Buzz mentioned he played 37 games last season which isn't a bad return. like to wish Edd and people on this site a Happy n Healthy New Year God Bless ?.
{Ed007's Note - He played 27 matches last season and 9 of them were less than 30 mins appearances. He played 1497 mins last season across 27 matches averages out at 55 mins per appearance.
LB at Celtic has been a problem for years, bringing KT back only prolongs that being the case, the left hand side will continue to be seen as the weak point in the team by opposition managers, an over the hill, injury ravaged and injury prone washed up Pub League player isn't the answer.}
3.) 31 Dec 2024 14:31:53
True mate, Happy new Year anyway mate.
{Ed007's Note - And to you mate ??
4.) 31 Dec 2024 14:32:04
Over a 12 month period from June 2023 to June 2024,
KT played in 42 games which included Scotland matches and non competitive games.
He was also available on the bench for several more games.
I know it’s a poor argument including Friendlies but it shows that he could be available for more Celtic games than what some people think and he could be worth the risk.
But Ed is right about him being only a fringe player with not many minutes played.
{Ed007's Note - But why even take the risk, why change the entire player trading model we have used to accommodate one player?
If KT hadn't previously played for Celtic there wouldn't be one Celtic fan that would think signing him was a good idea, this is the type of signing you'd expect Peter Lawwell or even TRIFC to make.}
5.) 31 Dec 2024 14:59:44
Only way i could get on board with KT coming back is if he's back up for LB and even CB but to bring him back as 1st choice to replace taylor is a huge gamble not worth taking. Unfortunately though i can't see him playing back up.
I just hope rodgers and co know something the rest of us don't with his injuries and fitness.
{Ed007's Note - We have an elite manager in Rodgers, we've restructured the footballing/scouting department by appointing Paul Tisdale & others, we've scoured the globe, looked at all the data, crunched the numbers and the best LB option we can come up with is KT? It's ludicrous.
Wasn't Tisdale hailed as some kind of "footballing doctor"? So all he's done is write a repeat prescription so far if this deal is happening.}
6.) 31 Dec 2024 15:08:21
Pay as you play deal?.
7.) 31 Dec 2024 15:27:59
A footballing doctor? Sounds perfect for KT :D.
{Ed007's Note - ?
8.) 31 Dec 2024 15:13:15
Ed, with these KT stats, you'll do Buzz out a job. Steady on old bean ??.
{Ed007's Note - Nah, Buzz is The Master!
9.) 31 Dec 2024 15:15:50
You do make a good point and that’s exactly the risks that Sevco take and has come back to bite them time and time again ?
We don’t need 3 left backs for the 2nd half of the season.
It also goes against our usual signing policy.
Having said all that, I would love to see KT back ?.
10.) 31 Dec 2024 15:26:31
Aye but ed …, . Is he coming or wit.
{Ed007's Note - mibbe...
11.) 31 Dec 2024 16:11:32
I know I’ve written a few posts focused on this Ed, but having a Scotland international, and arguably one of Scotland’s best players, in the squad for European homegrown purposes is a good thing IMO - better than Welsh, Bain and Ralston. I get where you’re coming from right enough, I’d also like to see a LB in the AJ, Frimpong or Juranovic mould. The only thing I will say though is that if we do sign KT there needs to be a pay per play clause. No way can we afford to splash out on a guy that’s constantly injured.
{Ed007's Note - Is being one of Scotland's best players _ which I doubt KT is btw, they don't even play him in his natural position do they? - a good enough reason for Celtic to sign a player, maybe sell Engels in the summer and replace him with John McGinn who looks on his way out at AV.}
12.) 31 Dec 2024 16:52:49
Aw naw now youve started the John McGinn rumours now Edd ?.
{Ed007's Note - ??
13.) 31 Dec 2024 16:55:54
The point I’m trying to make (hope it’s coming out) is that the Scottish players in our squad should not be a major weakness for us. For me right now Ralston, Welsh and Bain just don’t cut it at that level and I believe KT would. No way should we be signing KT to replace a quality LB. He needs to be backup to whoever that is.
Anyways, Happy New year mate and thanks again for all you do on here. And cheers again to every one who contributes. All the best for 2025!
{Ed007's Note - Happy New Year H2M mate, all the best ???
14.) 31 Dec 2024 18:49:09
‘Over the hill…. washed up pub league player’, More than a bit harsh Ed! He is 27yo and playing at the highest level. I personally believe he has a lot still to offer, and if the right finance deal can be achieved he would add further quality to our team/ squad.
Happy new year when it comes ?.
{Ed007's Note - He isn't playing at the highest level, he's was dropped and injured for most of his time at Arsenal. When KT left Celtic where was his career path taking him, he was expected to end up at a Man City or even Real Madrid, now he's being linked with a free transfer back to Celtic - that's exactly the definition of an over the hill washed up Pub League player.
He is finished at the top level and even him entertaining coming back to Celtic shows how far his star has fallen and the confidence he has in himself of playing at that top level ever again
Even mentioning "if the finance deal can be achieved" shows you have doubts about his fitness & ability - why not bust the wage structure for such a quality player on a free from one of the top clubs in England, and why is nobody else? And all this pish about managing his fitness to keep him for big games etc is absolutely ridiculous, this is Kieran Tierney we're talking about not Ronaldo, we laugh about foreigners "can he do it at a wet & windy Fir Park in December" we're talking about a guy that grew up 10 mins up the road from Fir Park not being able to do it!
Happy New Year mate, all the best for 2025 to you and the family ???
15.) 31 Dec 2024 19:20:05
Ed, you need to learn to compromise on KT. Get the sevco sports science team to independently assess him. If they give the green light, I think you should eat humble pie and defer to their professional opinion ?.
{Ed007's Note - ??
16.) 31 Dec 2024 20:22:22
Aresenal doing rather well then in the EPL with washed up pub league players on the bench … maybe others should try that model.
As always Ed always about opinions mate, and we’ll agree to disagree on this one…. Have a good one?.
{Ed007's Note - Aren't Arsenal writing off £25 million in KT's transfer fee, he ain't even making their bench....
Right here's a question for everyone, Valle or KT..... and if you answer is Valle why would you even entertain signing KT?
17.) 31 Dec 2024 21:40:42
Brendan is capable of building a legacy that will come only second to Stein.
He just needs the backing of the board and our recruitment team to get it right.
23 Aug 2024 17:43:31
50 odd thousand off us should wait till the last week before the season starts to pay season ticket money. Im sure the board would get to feel the anxiety fans get!
1.) 23 Aug 2024 20:29:20
The Celtic Board know they can always take the Celtic Season ticket holders for granted and the thousands on the waiting list.
That’s why the Lying King’s “pack of cards” prediction was never going to happen.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 22:26:06
I know it would never happen as there are over 10,000 on the waiting list buzz but just to get it up the feckers!
30 Jul 2024 11:27:44
CCV and Kyogo get injured in training or against Kilmarnock/ Hatate and Oriley sold. A nightmare scenario! I think that scenario has more chance of happening than us bringing in a CH LB 2 strikers and a Defensive midfielder.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 15:05:29
I do try to be patient and positive pre-season, but past experience and repeated failure to build from a position of strength always niggles away at the back of ma heid.
I totally understand that attracting quality to the SPL can be difficult and there are obstacles and hurdles to overcome in many transfer negotiations. However, most of the speculation seems to be about players leaving and the title defense starts in a few days.
We have plenty of money, so is it that players identified do not want to come, or are we trying to haggle or play bargain hunt?
For three seasons we have been aware of the positions that needed urgent attention and still we wait and hope.
My trust in our Board evaporated with the 5-way agreement that has seen us tread water ever since in terms of progress and in some ways we have even went backwards; so it will take a lot to convince me that the same old errors of judgement, complacency and arrogance have been replaced with ambition, foresight and innovation.

3.) 30 Jul 2024 15:43:52
To go into the season with just kyogo is a joke, everyone knows he has shoulder issues and only needs to take a knock and be out for a few games. Yes there is an option to play maeda there but his finishing is very sporadic to say the least.
Play Mikey Johnson there and as soon as he bottles it as he always does the fans will be going mental again and rightly so. I really can’t believe we are going in to a season so u under cooked even from last seasons poor squad.
4.) 30 Jul 2024 18:28:12
Consistency has left the room, one worries about what will happen if we have to play Kilmarnock without Kyogo, other worries that we have to play them with Kyogo and his dodgy shoulder, which has forced him out of a game a long time ago.
5.) 30 Jul 2024 18:50:16
Kyogo surprisingly was our only ever present last season considering his dodgy shoulder.
He was available for all 50 games in all competitions.
07 Jun 2023 13:18:54
I read an article yesterday and it said there will be no announcement till after the weekend. So will it be the man City number 2?. I would prefer Davie Moyes but if he wins the cup tonight will west ham keep him?
1.) 07 Jun 2023 13:46:35
Davie Moyes football style is too negative for Celtic.
2.) 07 Jun 2023 14:17:14
IMO Davie Moyes would be night and day to what we've been watching. Not saying he wouldn't be successful, but I am hoping for a manager to kick-on from where we left-off with similar style and flair.
3.) 07 Jun 2023 15:00:52
I would be happy with Moyes. Apart from finishing 14th this season in EPL, he has consistently finished in top 10 previous seasons and took them to Europa conference league final this season
Regardless who gets job, I think we will all be happier once a manager is appointed and start preparations for next season.
4.) 07 Jun 2023 15:27:27
Enrico would like to see Marsch or Knutsen guys.
5.) 07 Jun 2023 16:02:49
Kjetil Knutsen for me! The guy gets his team playing great attacking football and certainly skelped Ange's butt the time Bodo glimt came to town!
6.) 07 Jun 2023 16:08:25
Slaven Bilic would bring passion but he's mabe to crazy for scottish football. Imagine the scenes involving unbiased officals up here! ?.
7.) 07 Jun 2023 16:16:35
Bilic teams play s***e football he’s not done well since the Croatia job.
8.) 07 Jun 2023 18:40:30
Knutsen for me Definitely NOOOOO to Moyes please NOOOOO.
07 Jan 2023 14:55:41
If we are a fewv up today a VAR or penalty descion will go our way. Just throw them a bone!
18 Jun 2024 16:35:47
There isn't any leaks nowadays. Our msm just lift stories from celtic social media rumours and make up negative headlines.
17 Aug 2022 16:11:49
Mikey J replacement Buzz?
16 Aug 2022 18:43:37
I'm still shocked that he was the top scorer in the Dutch league. Hi team got relegated and we got him for 2.5 million!
If GG has an injury free season he will get 20+goals in the league easily. The wee fat buffalo hasn't managed 20 in the league in 5 year!
06 Jan 2022 19:30:13
Some sevco fans are not happy that celtic are allowed to loan players to other clubs so it makes them stronger when up against sevco
Probably the same mob who say it's unfair that celtic new signings are allowed to play against sevco.
17 Jan 2025 20:05:32
Tim I just seen a big baldy guy kicking the doors of that centre! He looked fecking nuts.
10 Jan 2025 17:36:51
Hopefully he signs another few years till we are 6 or 7 in a row. His ego will have him as DOF to oversee 10 in a row! ?.
10 Jan 2025 08:28:05
They beat us a week ago yet we have gone an extra point ahead!
01 Jan 2025 15:35:02
Good luck. I went for Kyogo Kuhn and Engels to score 55/ 1.
01 Jan 2025 15:07:09
Couldn't manage their way out an empty room ??.
