Being realistic what should Celtic ask for Bernabei
The gossip is we want about £7m for him, his loan club International in Brazil claim that is too high. Celtic obviously do not have plans for the lad, so should we reduce price to say £5m and wish the lad all the best.
1.) 20 Dec 2024 22:06:43
All the noise seems to be around the fee. Not much around competing interests. Aim for 7 mill and hopefully there's 2 out there willing to get close to it. There's no future for the boy here.
12 Nov 2024 19:10:25
Rumours going about we have bid £5.3m for Lennon Miller.
1.) 12 Nov 2024 19:32:44
I think you’ve pressed the wrong numbers Tim by mistake.
There’s no way Celtic have bid £5.3M for a very young Motherwell player whose contract runs out in 2026.
{Ed007's Note - That's what's being bandied about, Buzz.}
2.) 12 Nov 2024 19:40:14
I’ve just read the same report and your typing skills are still good ?
I still don’t believe those figures will be accurate due to the lads contract.
Celtic know they will get him for £3M and add ons at the most.
3.) 12 Nov 2024 19:57:23
Those figures would rule a certain other club out of the running Ed.
I hope Celtic sign him because it’s important to bring the best young Scottish talent to our club.
Especially since not much is coming through our own youth system.
{Ed007's Note - Even at £6 million I think it'll prove to be a bargain in the long run, he's the best young Scottish midfielder since Lewis Ferguson came through and it still irks me we didn't sign him.}
4.) 12 Nov 2024 22:08:40
Evening All
Can't remember which one I posted on (Forum, Podcast or Live Chat) .
I indicated that Celtic "would go all in" to try sign Lennon Miller in January transfer window.
Personally I think his value is at least £5m +
?.
5.) 13 Nov 2024 07:33:04
If he doesn’t get sold in January, his valuation will drop because he will be entering the final year of his contract.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 10:03:54
Lennon Miller should be signed at any cost but can't see him staying in Scotland he also has a bluenose family but sometimes that doesn't matter.
7.) 13 Nov 2024 11:38:26
Think Well want more than Turnbull ehich was about £3:2m and your right Edd eee did miss a trick with Ferguson evn Uncle Barry has voiced his opinion saying we should have as he reckons he's a £20m player now.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 13:04:36
I think 5.3m for the best young midfielder in scotland is a fair price. Motherwell have every right to hold out for that fee. Young Miller should be our priority in January and hopefully we act quick as clubs in england will be hovering as well.
9.) 13 Nov 2024 13:13:01
We paid more for Holm the following season who can't get anywhere near the team than Bologna paid for Lewis. Even more irritating that Ferguson won the Bulgarelli award for best midfielder in Serie A last season.
10.) 13 Nov 2024 18:29:24
We haven’t bid anything yet, no disrespect to anyone but some folk look at articles see a number and think we’ve made a bid, it’s rumoured that that’s what we will look to bid. I don’t like to sound like the guy who has the imaginary contacts but I’ve been in company with several guys inside the parkhead lounges on match days, guys who usually have credible insider knowledge and the talk is it’s pretty much a done deal that he’s coming to us and it’s a record Scottish fee, obviously this indicates the fee rumoured might be indeed true as the record is the 4.4m we paid Hibs for broony, but I haven’t been told an exact figure, just that it’s pretty much a done deal barring any last minute issues. Again, and I’ll repeat, it’s just what I’ve heard and it’s usually a very accurate source who told me Brendan was coming back to us last March which I didn’t believe in the slightest at that time.
In regards to miller and my own opinion, we need to go all out for this lad, I think hatate is looking to go to a better league so miller would be a like for like replacement. Playing and learning from the likes of mcgregor, Engels and mcCowan, Forrest, will only improve his game. We can’t let this one slip like we did with mcGinn.
11.) 14 Nov 2024 13:34:35
If we do sign him and it's a big if, I really hope we let him stay at Motherwell for another season on loan.
Also why is it people also mentioned who a players family support?
The boy played for our youth teams and was in our academy and only moved to Motherwell as his dad didn't see a pathway to the first team.
We have also had a lot of previous and current players who grew up supporting the other team
That kind of thing doesn't matter in Football anymore, even Barry Ferguson was wanting us to sign Lewis.
12.) 14 Nov 2024 15:08:54
Buzz you are dreaming if you think we will get Miller for 3 million.
13.) 14 Nov 2024 15:59:10
North 18
Motherwell need to sell him in January whilst his value is high and not let him enter his final year of his contract.
Clubs might not be willing to pay top dollar for a player with only one year left of his contract.
Without repeating myself.
14.) 14 Nov 2024 19:00:54
I get that with the contract Buzz, however such is his talent I suspect he will have several options which always pushes the price up. IF the rumours are true it appears Celtic are going in heavy and early to seal the deal and avoid a McGinn scenario.
Remember the rumours also indicate even Sevco are interested at around 3 million tops.
15.) 15 Nov 2024 13:21:46
I've read that Motherwell are aiming to receive a club record fee for young Miller of no less than £4M.
This would be an increase on their current record fee of £3.25M for DT back in 2020.
The media love banding about the numbers and it's no surprise this then causes debate amongst supporters.
At the end of the day if BR likes him and thinks he can improve, increase in value and contribute to our continued success along the way, then get him signed.
☘️ ? ☘️.
16.) 18 Nov 2024 14:53:02
That's a fair price. He should stay with Motherwell until the summer though.
17.) 22 Nov 2024 17:36:08
I’d sign him. Good for us good for Scottish football. We certainly need to get a replacement in for the Captain. Whether that’s him or someone else.
02 Sep 2024 19:56:49
ED007 have you heard anything about re development of Main Stand
I read on one of the Celtic sites that after Pedro was confronted by fans asking where all the money was going, he put it out via his newsaper buddies that plans were advancing for the Main stand
Have your contacts told you anything
thaanks.
{Ed007's Note - No I haven't heard anything about it apart from the usual rumours that we are planning something like that or pulling the trigger on the hotel/museum or superstore/ticket office upgrades
1.) 03 Sep 2024 22:55:43
It's time addressed the amount of restricted view seats there are in the stadium.
2.) 04 Sep 2024 07:48:52
Celtic can’t remove a pillar that holds the roof up.
{Ed001's Note - unless they changed the roof for one that doesn't require pillars.}
3.) 04 Sep 2024 08:52:55
Restricted view is not a big issue at Celtic Park.
The worst view is probably the corner of the away end.
Of course it isn’t nice for the vast minority of fans who have restricted views seats.
4.) 04 Sep 2024 10:58:56
Let's be honest. The main stand needs upgrading big time. I may be in the minority here, but I think 60,000 is fine. I would be very happy if most of our available funds were spent on a total renovation, not necessarily an expansion. The stand inside is too small. Better facilities for European nights is a must. More corporate boxes/ hospitality would pay for itself in a few years. For the sake of a couple of million quid you could get rid of the pillars in the north stand. I read somewhere that we needed these because of the cemetery behind? Remember it already overhangs. Celtic 'bought' the air/ space from GCC back when the stadium was being redeveloped. And finally, major upgrades to the concourses are needed. Kiosks etc. I am ready to be corrected on anything. Cheers folks. HH!
5.) 04 Sep 2024 11:57:41
I’m sure I’ve seen pillars in the Main Stand which must be taken down for home games.
6.) 04 Sep 2024 13:09:12
Correct. I've never understood that, either. Our Sky box looks quite lonely up there on it's own. I like my stadia. ☺️.
7.) 04 Sep 2024 16:54:59
Agree with Celticmad, there's no point increasing capacity if the current setup isn't as good as it could be. A revamp of the main stand, get rid of the pillars, upgrade the general facilities and get the stadium to a level where it could host a European Final.
{Ed007's Note - I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure unofficially UEFA use stadiums with at least 70k capacity and the only time they haven't in a long time was during the COVID season, which as we know was a complete freak of nature across football with us, PSG, Juventus and neither of the Spanish Big Two winning their respective leagues.}
8.) 04 Sep 2024 17:10:56
There’s no way Celtic will spend Millions removing pillars, which would involve changing the roof on stands.
They can’t make money on such a move.
That makes it a Zero chance.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 09:56:41
I have to look through a barrier in the east stand to see the goal which in a fairly modern stadium should be the case. These restricted view seats are spread throughout the stadium which is poor.
10.) 05 Sep 2024 09:41:27
I think that's just for CL Finals, Ed. They're playing this year's Europa League Final at San Mames in Bilbao with a 53k capacity. There's a minefield of criteria for retractable roofs and even the number of VIP parking spaces. Load of nonsense really.
{Ed007's Note - ????
30 Jul 2024 11:20:18
Paper talk today is Southampton have offered us Shea Campbell a 6ft 2in defensive midfielder who cost them £15m as part of deal for MOR
Strange part of deal is it is a LOAN
so Southampton would get MOR on the cheap plus we would still have to buy this guy next year for £10m or so
If our Board agree to this they should all be sacked immediately.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 11:46:01
Totally agree Tim. His value isn't even 15 million as that includes add ons and he isn't even getting game time.
MOR wouldn't want to go there and be in relegation fight from game one.
It is concerning that this is the only type of rumour we are getting just now about signings.
I am probably concidered an apologist (which I am not) , but I do think we will get 3 or 4 in but looks like it will be late in the window. I am maybe just a bit more patient.
Is this ideal, no, with league starting in few days and CL on the horizon, but even under Ange we did the same.
How do we change this, I don't know either, because like everyone else, I have no idea what's going on in the background or how our recruitment team work or are tasked.
2.) 30 Jul 2024 11:55:34
That proposal would be crazy to accept and would weaken our team even more with the season starting this weekend and WHY are we a feeder club for Southampton, as I don't get the connection.
3.) 30 Jul 2024 12:16:04
He plated 15 times fir them. ad be hunting them once again the arrogance of the english.
4.) 30 Jul 2024 12:35:13
Stop believing paper talk as fact, Tim.
5.) 30 Jul 2024 12:40:27
The Celtic Board survived the disastrous lock down season and a couple of Directors also survived a show of no faith at the following AGM.
They will definitely be safe with 7 domestic trophies from 9 available since.
Celtic will no doubt struggle badly and probably suffer embarrassing heavy defeats in Europe again.
But that doesn’t seem to concern this Celtic Board.
6.) 30 Jul 2024 15:36:39
I would love for our board to tell Southampton MOR will not be sold to them, regardless of price.
They've had plenty of our players on the cheap, later to be sold on at huge profit.
Besides this, MOR is too good a player for them and too good for any team who's priority will be preventing relegation.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 30 Jul 2024 19:56:02
Everyone needs to stop believing made up stories in the Orc loving MSM.
09 Jul 2024 12:11:03
Apparently Idah will cost us £6m plus add ons
If we want the Sparta Prague keeper they want £8m+
If the keeper story is true it shows once again our Board are scrambling at last minute for a keeper we knew we had to replace MONTHS ago.
Are not our Board wonderful.
1.) 09 Jul 2024 13:27:45
Last minute? I presume you'd rather sign any old keeper as long as its done immediately then, Tim?
2.) 09 Jul 2024 16:11:57
Agree with HT. Just because we knew we needed a keeper doesn't mean we could or should have had a deal done by now. The international window opened a week ago so if we get him in soon we've actually acted pretty quickly on that one.
3.) 09 Jul 2024 17:09:17
When exactly do we need our new goalkeeper, was it when we knew that Joe Hart told manager last Jan / Feb that he was retiring at the end of his contract and wouldn’t be playing next season . Was it Jan/ Feb or start of August . Which is more important, that we sign in July a goalkeeper that our manager wants or in April a goalkeeper that a fan wants.
4.) 09 Jul 2024 17:59:25
Totally agree, I know it’s sometimes not as simple as just making a deal happen and sometimes there’s a bit of back and forth and I’ve no doubt we have a shortlist of targets but the fact a new number 1 goalkeeper isn’t signed a month into the window is a shambles from the club.
The thing is right, you can still negotiate with a club when the window is closed, the transfer then becomes official when the window opens, pretty much the way maeda and hatate joined.
Since Joe hart announced he was retiring we’ve had months to get this sorted but it now seems we’ll end up scrambling just to get a slightly better goalkeeper in than the likes of Bain for the sake of it, it isn’t a coincidence that when big ange was here and in control the deals were done quick.
5.) 09 Jul 2024 22:06:07
If indeed it is Jensen then we have to wait. Sparta had him on loan with an option to buy which wudnt kick in till July 1st I would imagine. They opted to buy maybe with the intention to make instant money. So a lot of negotiation will be necessary.
6.) 10 Jul 2024 07:18:30
Doesn't suit the narrative Rayman. Seems odd when we can stick the boot into the club for countless other things they've actually got wrong.
7.) 10 Jul 2024 10:14:49
There are a lot of things that can make a negotiation take time but some on here complain no matter what ourclub do. As BR said last eek we coul have had 9 in the door by now but we haven't as rhey would not be the right 9. It takes time, like us teams don't want to sell or want more than teams want to pay.
We tell the club not to accept less than 30 million for MOR when teams consider he is worth 20 million but when a club asks 8 million for a player and we value him at 5 million, we get the biscuit tin mentality card out and moan about the board not spending.
Their job, like it is not is to get the best deal for the club, like every other board butbour gt a kicking for carrying out due diligence.
Don't get me wrong, I will be ladies the complaints if they don't make signings but I am prepared to give them time to get it right or would some on here be happy with doing what we did last time and what we are laughing at sevco doing this time, project after project.
You can't have it both ways.
8.) 10 Jul 2024 10:40:28
just the usual desperadoes moaning.
9.) 10 Jul 2024 11:55:56
Not a single supporter should be surprised nothing has happened. In fact, the vast majority were expecting it. That sums the board up. Dithering, Cheapskate cowards.

Steff and Buzz hope I can return the favour today
Lingfield 1.25 The Defiant 4/ 1 (I got 7/ 1 but it was 9/ 1) so money going on it.
1.) 22 Jan 2025 13:25:34
Good luck Tim,
Your tip was a 50/ 1 chance on Saturday and finished 2nd, with the favourite in this race only finishing 3rd.
I however believe the favourite will reverse the placings from the weekend.
2.) 22 Jan 2025 13:33:09
I’m glad I never touched it.
The 25/ 1 winner got a big lead going round the first bend from stall 1.
It did mention the 2nd favourite had a big disadvantage on the outside stall and they weren’t wrong because it was miles behind at the first bend in only a 5 furlong race.
20 Jan 2025 21:24:50
Is Brendan and our Board creatures of habit
Let's start with our manager
I cannot think of any player he signed EARLY in a transfer window, it is always last minute
Then there is his use of substitutes again I cannot remember him making a tactical switch before or at half time it is always about the 60 minute mark or later
Our Board ALWAYS wait to see how the team are doing in europe before sanctioning a signing, if we are doing well in say CL out comes the cheque book but up to a certain limit.
1.) 20 Jan 2025 22:07:27
Tim, Ange did the same thing. Any player going full pelt should be able to last 60 mins. Bring on 2or three at a time to switch things up. I honestly don't see the problem.
2.) 20 Jan 2025 22:08:29
Also, in January these things take time. You want to be like the other mob? No chance.
3.) 21 Jan 2025 06:37:37
Really interesting segment on 5 live last night (show Sutton does) had a Scottish sports science expert giving an on overview of what they do and spoke openly about his time with Ange at Celtic and anges current predicament at spurs, was quite insightful around the use of players for around 60 mins and how these switches are mostly physical based on fitness performance, I think in most cases Rodgers doesn’t need to change anything tactically, as the players up there own levels and it’s intensity of the players upping level or players coming on that beats teams, the style and tactics are the same just performed better and faster so to speak, where I would agree is the games we’ve needed immediate changes, dortmund rangers, for a while Dundee last week, a different shape could have been adopted but remember for some Ange was a messiah, I saw us win plenty of games with last min goals under Ange and saw us lose multiple games but it was ok cos Ange doesn’t change his style and it’s exciting, I think Rodgers is great manager, I fully trust in him …. as long as the board keep players and young exciting talent coming to the club Rodgers will do a good job, for me if we stagnate at any point he’ll struggle to motivate the players to perform week in week out, but hey what do I know, armchair manager.
4.) 21 Jan 2025 19:00:32
As regarding the substitutions B R use to regularly praise the team for trusting the system and the system will win . He can’texpect the players to trust the system if he makes tactical substitutions at all different times.
20 Jan 2025 19:26:13

{Ed007's Note - Dundee Utd were originally called Dundee Hibernian as they, like Celtic and Hibs, were founded by the Irish community in the city. Apart from the Albert Kidd stuff I've never known of any affinity between Dundee and Celtic.

Celtic transfer target hijacked
With the news that Raul Moro suffered a shoulder injury Sevco immediately put in a £7m bid
Their spokesperson said "As Moro is injured we thought he would be perfect as we only sign injured players".
{Ed007's Note - Surely we'll still sign him and it'll just be a case of properly managing his fitness & game time?
1.) 19 Jan 2025 12:43:55
ED007 I don't know much about the lad, in your opinion is he worth taking a chance at about £8m ish.
{Ed007's Note - I doubt we'll be signing him now but for a January transfer I'd say that would have been a fair price.}
2.) 19 Jan 2025 12:52:52
Do you know if there's genuine interest in Moro Ed? And what the chances of us getting him are?
It's got the markings of Kuhn. Once tipped to be the next big thing and clearly got talent. Didn't quite take off but has found his feet a bit at a lesser club (still playing la liga is some level though) . Could represent very good value.
Watching footage of him he'd be perfect against low blocks. We all know what Maeda brings but when it's not going his way he struggles to influence games and technically is still lacking at times. It would be great competition and I could see him eventually taking Maeda's spot in our best XI.
{Ed007's Note - There's no chance of us or anyone signing Moro this window after his injury the other night.}

28 Aug 2024 14:37:21
Also guys IF we sign a couple of players a big IF, will Brendan throw them into a game like this with all the tackles they will throw at our players, also we signed Idah who was supposed to have done pre season with Norwich but reports say he is needing extra training, some of these players coming in will probably be in same boat ie not fully match fit.
Yes Quinn and Mally I posted yesterday I expect the "we tried but ran out of time line also"

@ Derry Tim
MOR and his agent know that he will eventually move to a bigger league and that is why MOR is not making waves, whether in this window or next the bhoynwill get his big move, so enjoy him while we can.
21 Jan 2025 19:35:22
Buzz here is one for your stats
A couple of years ago I got into conversation with a professional gambler in a Ladbrokes in Glasgow city centre. He caught my attention because of the amount he put on, and he patiently waited on a certain race or horse before piling in.
Among other snippets of advice he told me this
"Have you noticed how many winning horses have double barrelled names like Timmy Tuesday, April Affair"
He said the percentage was so high, he started betting on just those horses and he said he was in profit almost from day one.
So guys, daft as it sounds have a look for any horse with the same initial letter and pile on.
21 Jan 2025 15:55:26
Guya horse returned at 3/ 1 cheers for the tip
Wish I had seen two horses in previous races at Ayr
Chasing out the Blues won @ 9/ 2
Other horse El Elephante I thought of Dessers lol) won 2/ 1.

Mally two of my Tim pals have the same opinion even talking of 5 goals or more.
I am worried about US if we get complacent we will fall flat on our face.
Also some of the team have looked jaded whereas YB are well rested.
If we can get an early goal I think we will be all right, but if we are struggling to score it could be a loooong night.
