Sly are saying we have submitted a £6.5m bid for Engles. Is that the way it's done? Lowball a bid and hope it gets accepted, or is that just the way Celtic do it?
1.) 26 Aug 2024 11:29:04
Or maybe it's just the usual MSM having no idea exactly what's going on and the deal is being discussed.
Other reports saying the personal terms are already agreed but technically until a bid is accepted, we can't talk to the player.
{Ed007's Note - We can talk to his agent though. MOR had agreed terms with both Aralanta and Brighton through his agent.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 11:38:09
Been rejected going to have to go to about 8m or higher. we've got the fecking money.
3.) 26 Aug 2024 11:54:57
How many low ball bids did the Italian outfit submit fir O'Reilly if the news is to believed.
4.) 26 Aug 2024 12:10:51
Every club will most likely offer low first, if we offered say 10m to start with, we’ve shot ourselves in the foot because we then can’t go any lower than that, Atalanta offered 14m apparently for MOR then the last one was 23m, it’s just the way negotiations work.
We will have a limit for Engels but it makes financial sense to try and get the best deal possible first, have faith.
5.) 26 Aug 2024 11:33:29
They don’t know any other way. 4 days to go and they are still effin about like barsteward amateurs. Get it done!
6.) 26 Aug 2024 13:20:46
It's all well and good putting in a low figure but when it's the last few days of the window is a joke. But it's hardly a surprise is it.
23 Jul 2024 17:04:34
Reading that everything is in line for Bernardo to have a medical and then his signing will be announced.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 13:31:29
That's according to team talk who I would say are a clickbait site.
13 Jul 2024 16:44:41
There's talk that we are in the market for a second goalie in this window - if BR is looking at 2 main players plus a youngster in each position would that mean Bain and Siegrist are offski?
1.) 13 Jul 2024 17:07:38
I’m read Siegrist want to move to Australia to be with his girlfriends.
Bain is a decent Number 2.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 19:39:52
So would I buzz.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 20:32:43
Buzz,
It's an open secret Siegrist wants away ASAP.
Bain is an excuse for a GK and if he wasn't Scottish, like Welsh, he should be chased out of CP along London Rd.
Bain at best is 3rd rate and couldn'tkeep weans oot a close, I'd hope that BR is looking to bring in a back up to Kasper before this window closes.
☘️ ? ☘️.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 20:35:02
Bain is nowhere near good enough. Never will be. His lack of ambition says it all.
5.) 13 Jul 2024 22:41:11
I thought Seigrist cut a deal and was leaving on a free? I was surprised to see him against Queens Park. It didn’t work out and if he wants to go then let him I say. Whoever we get won’t do worse than a guy who contributes so little.
6.) 14 Jul 2024 00:22:36
After watching butterlands howler today? The man the daily rangers championed to replace pickford? Think kasper will be a good pair of gloves.
7.) 15 Jul 2024 10:29:45
That was the Daily Ranger trying to get their team a huge fee.
01 Jul 2024 16:18:17
Young left back, Magnus Mackenzie, has left Celtic permanently for Queens Park.
All the best young man and look forward to following your progress.
05 Jun 2024 22:03:59
This has probably done the rounds but would de Gea be a realistic option? He's on a free and keeping fit with a lower league club. Big glory nights in Europe would probably interest him.
1.) 06 Jun 2024 13:39:31
He also won the golden glove in his last full season. De Gea would be a massive step up from 95% of the names being linked to us. He’s a top class goal keeper. Every single goal keeper in world football makes howlers. Alllison, Neur, Ederson, Courtois, Donnarumma, Van Der Sar, Boruc, Forster, Cech. These guys made and still make multiple howlers every season. It happens as a goal keeper.
Dea is still very much a world class shot stopper and his ability to play out with his feet probably being the weakest part of his game but is still strong. He was best goal keeper in prem for years and you don’t just lose that. Hart was in a similar position to him before he signed and look how that turned out. De Gea also saves penalties so there’s that.
Absolute crazy to not want him to sign. He won’t sign because of the financials involved and it was literally just Peter Grant saying he’d like to see him come but still, he’d be massive for us.
2.) 06 Jun 2024 19:55:47
Video on YouTube De Gea mega howlers.
3.) 08 Jun 2024 20:32:31
Every GK makes howlers from time to time.
De Gea could pkay in Scotland in his sleep IMO, the issue would be his wages.
He'd need to take a massive drop, even with incentives, to play for us.
☘️ ? ☘️.

Happy with the window and the level of player we now have - it's up to Brendan to mould the team into a stronger, better unit than in the recent path.
Come January I can see a further reduction with some of the B team and maybe buying more of a higher level for development.
In the next summer window we probably wouldn't need to recruit as many but any we would buy maybe one or two of a higher quality. It would be interesting to see how long BR would want to stay at Parkhead and whether it would be beyond his 3 years.
Question is, based on this window and the CL draw would you buy the 4 game package?
1.) 31 Aug 2024 12:32:40
I will be buying the 4 game package. It's not the worst draw in the world and i hope Rodgers can now improve his embarrassing champions league record.
30 Aug 2024 22:09:15
Ed, hypothetically, if a club signs someone late on in the evening - say 11pm, how does it work re the medical. Would it all be "subject to a successful medical"?
{Ed007's Note - Article 18 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players specifically precludes football clubs from making the validity of a contract subject to a successful medical examination.
Most medicals are done when clubs agree a fee and can be done anywhere, Engels could have had a medical in Germany, London Glasgow and his agent just produces the medical paperwork - from UEFA/FIFA registered docs etc. the selling Club will also forward it's records of the player.}
1.) 31 Aug 2024 12:13:48
Cheers Ed. Only reading this now as I wasn't great last night and having had to work this morning.
{Ed007's Note - No worries mate ??
30 Aug 2024 12:52:13
I actually like Welsh and so does BR but he needs to play and get regular games and he should get better.
Could be worth sending him out to a decent club on loan and see how he does after consistent game time.
With him out on loan we could do with another 2 CBs - Trusty and AN Other - maybe a younger development player from a decent team.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 13:21:32
Can we let him go, with the speed we are sending players OUT we will be lucky to have 11 left for Sunday.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 16:10:27
It's a credit to him (and Ralston) , to have seen-off so many rivals and 'pretenders' in the squad and both parties seem content with the current arrangement - for the moment.
The squad has been substantially trimmed and depending on what else happens before deadline, there could be more alterations?
29 Aug 2024 20:09:20
Bless me Father for I have sinned, I have just had a quick look at the Daily Rag.
Must admit there's a page on frees that are available after the window shuts and some may be worth having a look at.
Stuart Armstrong, Liam Cooper, Aaron Connolly, Dele Alli, Edouard Michut, Joel Matip, Joshua King.
Wages and fitness may be an issue with most of them but having a shot in Europe for most of them would be a bit of a draw for some of them.
1.) 29 Aug 2024 20:22:31
Weren't we in for michout?
2.) 29 Aug 2024 20:25:07
Only Matip for me for the cover, Deli am not dure if he has fitness problems or not.
3.) 29 Aug 2024 20:30:58
I’d take Matip.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 21:09:30
Mario would walk in, no questions asked good footballer and defender.
29 Aug 2024 15:58:09
Just having a wee look on the Celtic FC website. Still shows Liam Shaw and it reads that he signed a four-year deal with Celtic in June 2020. Then it says he signed for Celtic on the 15.06.2021.
Anone know when he actually signed?
1.) 29 Aug 2024 16:13:32
Ange came in 2021 and he was one of his first signings. Signed with uroghide.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 16:20:51
He was signed on a pre contract in 2020 but actually arrived in 2021 .
3.) 29 Aug 2024 17:12:23
Was just doing the same yesterday stengo. Looking much tighter.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 17:14:53
I didn’t know that Drewzybhoy,
Both Uroghide and Shaw signed from Sheffield Wednesday on July 1st.
Another poor signing was free transfer James McCarthy.
Those 3 players only cost a combined £500K but all the other signings in those first 2 transfer windows, allowed us to quickly resume natural order.
26 Aug 2024 18:02:34
We sold him for £14m - can't see CP looking at what Celtic would want to pay for him - there's better out there for less.
26 Aug 2024 17:59:03
Got to remember he downed tools before he left. If he comes back he would need to significantly reduce his weekly wage, put a smile on his face and score plenty. Can you see this happening?
10 Jan 2024 20:04:12
There are two ways to go about this.
1. Speculate To Accumulate.
Go out and buy the players we need - spend a bit of money and get the players in. Offset the cost by selling/ loaning fringe players to get them off the wage bill. Net spend could end up positive.
2. The Risk Averse Method.
Sell/ Loan out the fringe players to accumulate a figure and then buy players within the amount raised. Net spend could end up negative or break even.
Guess what one looks like the Celtic method?
09 Jan 2024 20:03:56
What I was trying to get at, probably a bit cynically, was that although we are a cash rich club, we will actively look at ways of not spending.
09 Jan 2024 15:19:30
Is it the case that we offload a good number of players to free up their wages - and these wages will go towards paying for 3 or 4 players to come in and we'll still have £72m in the bank?
11 Sep 2024 09:06:45
Steff, that's to allow all the snakes to slither under it.
08 Sep 2024 20:25:18
Used to watch the English Women 10 to 15 years ago and thought they were decent.
I'll reserve my judgement on how good this football is until scores like 18-11 or 120-0 settle down and the teams become more realistic.
06 Sep 2024 22:07:37
It was the ZX81 that freaked me. Brother in law got me the Spectrum and you felt as if you were upper class then lol.
{Ed007's Note - ???
06 Sep 2024 21:43:44
Just to confirm that's the email sent Ed007.
{Ed007's Note - ??
06 Sep 2024 20:48:35
If anyone's interested I've got a Sinclair Spectrum sitting up the loft that I was just going to bin. If I can remember correctly there are two or three games (cassettes) with it.
{Ed007's Note - I'll take that Stengo! Drop me an email at ed007@live.co.uk and we'll get that sorted out ? Grotbags is going to HATE you now ??
