Fee for oh being reported as 4.2M. If true, that is good business and hopefully have a sell on clause.
I would have liked oh to have made the grade and thought he would but sadly it didn't work out the way I had hoped.
1.) 13 Jul 2024 14:49:13
Apparently having a medical now go get idah.
{Ed007's Note - Idah isn't in the Norwich squad for their friendly today.}
2.) 13 Jul 2024 15:34:35
Saw that mate here's hoping.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 15:42:30
Liked big Oh and he tried hard to impress; best of luck big man.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 17:09:27
Well done Celtic for offloading and getting decent money in return. On a personal level to Oh, good luck for the future.
5.) 13 Jul 2024 18:09:57
Ed, I have everything crossed since I saw that. Get him in sooner amd then Bernardo and it will give us a few weeks to top up with a couple quality new faces and then watch the panic across the city.
{Ed007's Note - I think both Idah and Bernardo will be done by Tuesday.}
6.) 13 Jul 2024 19:20:28
You would imagine Idah is imminent if they have let OH go. The fact he isn’t in there squad also backs that up.

The news of Celtic's interest in Uğurcan Çakır as a goalkeeper is indeed intriguing, especially considering its unusual presence in the media. While transfer stories are not uncommon, this one stands out due to its detailed account of our CEO's direct involvement, including a reported email to Trabzonspor with a specific bid and requests to engage with the player and his agent.
Such public disclosure of our club's negotiation tactics is unprecedented in my experience supporting Celtic. It's noteworthy that Brendan's desire for a video call with the player is mentioned, suggesting a proactive approach to secure the deal.
Speculatively, it seems the story may have originated from our CEO, perhaps as a strategic move to demonstrate transparency and early action, possibly in response to past fan criticisms of transfer dealings.
1.) 08 Apr 2024 11:37:35
Let's hope he's the real deal can't afford another barkas.
2.) 08 Apr 2024 21:12:22
I read tonight they want 12.5 million so we can put that to bed.
3.) 10 Apr 2024 12:02:29
What clubs want and what clubs get is a totally different matter. I don't know much about the guy . But going on reports from some of his clubs fans they wouldn't be very disappointed to see the back of him .
13 Feb 2024 15:27:37
Rumour online that Sevco will give in and give us 2750 tickets at snake mountain.
1.) 13 Feb 2024 17:16:16
Hope they tell them to ram them, 8k or forget it, kick the Onion Bears out the Broomloan.
2.) 14 Feb 2024 07:38:36
Any uplift like this to match the euro allocation is a real step forward and undoubted admit to error from rangers, the 8k won’t happen again in my view, all I care about is Celtic stick to our guns and give them nothing until they put measures in place at ibrox first as we know this is there doing, does anyone else think they will try and not give us the allocation for next game seeing as how close the league is and will delay until next season.
3.) 14 Feb 2024 09:20:14
Tell them to ram it! They started this Shiite coz their fans got never got invited to our parties in their house. Already proved this hasn’t stopped us winning there, so, back to what it was or feck off!
4.) 14 Feb 2024 12:18:39
I'm happy with never allowing them back in.
5.) 14 Feb 2024 13:13:40
I'm ok with the status quo. Our fans aren't safe in that cesspit of anti catholicism plus Paradise with 60k Celtic supporters for that game is Paradise for me.
6.) 14 Feb 2024 17:21:56
Celtic have showed we can pick points up at Ibrox without our fans.
Sevco have also showed they fail to pick points up at Celtic Park without their fans.
7.) 15 Feb 2024 16:42:05
I agree Buzz Bomb, Rangers2012 started cutting our allocation as there fans couldn’t stand Celtic fans celebrating as we were winning far too often for them . Rangers2012 admitted that Ibrox wasn’t a safe place. for an ex Celtic player working in the media . If they couldn’t protect C Sutton, how could they protect a couple of thousand fans . Celtic still pick up good results in meaningful Ibrox games whilst Rangers2012 cannot get results at Celtic Pk .
Celtic club prefer no Rangers fans as Police can’t or won’t prevent Sevco fans from damaging Celtic Pk . In fact they can’t even prevent Police from wrecking toilets.
8.) 16 Feb 2024 04:14:43
All due respect lads doesn't matter if we pick up points there if we keep dropping silly points elsewhere as we have seen recently.
12 Jul 2023 11:13:50
Tete is apparently moving from shaqtar. He is the type of player I would like us to sign.
Young, talented, experienced and already established in the first team. This means they have a good chance to hit the ground running and can still move on for a good profit in 2-3 years time.
1.) 12 Jul 2023 12:48:27
Is there anyone you'd compare him to because I genuinely can't remember ever seeing him play.
2.) 12 Jul 2023 13:22:45
He reminds me of Scott Sinclair but is better and plays on the opposite wing.
He is a better dribbler and can go on the outside or cut infield. He is also bigger and more powerful. Just looks like a complete player.
3.) 12 Jul 2023 16:11:18
So nothing like Scot Sinclair then ?.
4.) 12 Jul 2023 17:18:31
He is like Scott Sinclair, in that he is very direct and scores a lot of goals cutting inside.
06 Jul 2023 11:06:42
Reports coming out that Connor hazard is off to Plymouth for a 6 figure fee.
Hopefully, that is us starting to trim the squad as there is a fair bit of deadwood.
I would hope to aim for a squad of 26. That would give us 2 players for every position and 1 spare GK, midfielder, defender and striker and then use our B team if we get really unfortunate with injuries.
This would reduce wage bill and give young players more opportunity to get in and about the 1st team. Remember, this is how Tierney got his chance, as all our left backs were injured.
1.) 06 Jul 2023 12:46:26
Would terminate ajetis contract if we can't get a fee and same with barkas. cheers lenny.
{Ed007's Note - Barkas has already been released.}
2.) 06 Jul 2023 13:59:46
Didn't know that mate. didc we get anything for him ed.
{Ed007's Note - No mate, Celtic agreed to release him from the last year of his contract, Barkas and his agent hope it will help allow Utrecht to afford to sign him.}
3.) 06 Jul 2023 14:46:39
Thanks Ed ??.
{Ed007's Note - ??
4.) 06 Jul 2023 14:50:46
Celtics trading model is so good we managed to get the same money for Barkas as they got for Morelos and Kent. ???.

Do you think Kwon will get a chance this season?
I thought he looked good in the games I have watched so far.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 18:29:59
Be some turn around if he does s but great. How was he against man city i couldn't keep it lit.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 18:45:50
We've a bloated midfield id get him out on loan again if possible with yang same team. this bhoy yang looks to have everything but can be as bad as good . in the same passage of play sometime . a full season playing for both could prove beneficial for their progress.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 19:03:01
I thought he played well against city but only had about 30 minutes. He also got an assist.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 19:55:08
We need players like Yang, he may still not be the finish article but as a winger he has at the very least the ability to create or score a goal coming on in
the last 20 -30mins . He would benefit with working with as good a coach as Brendan.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 21:15:02
Hopefully Yang will get the chance to improve under Brendan.
Yang will know he will need to improve on only 1 goal and 3 assists, in his 30 game Celtic career to feature this season.
He never played one single minute after the split last season and he never made the squad in our last 4 games including the Cup Final, when everyone was fit.
It’s a shame he got sent off against Hearts last season because he looked out most dangerous player during that period of the season.
6.) 26 Jul 2024 11:34:21
Yang, for me, did well initially when he came into the side but faded badly towards the end of the season.
I'd get him out on loan to a club where he can play regularly without the level of expectation that exists at Celtic.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 26 Jul 2024 13:10:58
The cruel based sending off, certainly effected Yang’s form and he became a different player than he was before the red card . As buzz bomb said he was fast intelligent and lined up well before the. Bigoted VAr &referee. I expect. BR to be able to talk him out of form collapse if it happened again.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 17:20:03
If we think a player can contribute to any part of the game for our team we should not loan him out as we may well need him if we have injuries or loss of form .
We have the best coach in Scotland if not in UK, why not use him.
24 Jul 2024 11:25:52
Brendan Rodgers said that he had a meeting with Nicholson and McKay. In the meeting they discussed a time line for new transfers. Brendan then went on to say that they would have signings in by end of August.
The key point I took from that is that we have identified players, we are in talks with players and if we don't get players the blame lies with Nicholson and McKay.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 11:47:25
I can see Celtic having a similar team which finished last season with Kasper, Idah and Bernardo being available for our 1st competitive match.
In the following 4 weeks, I’m expecting at least another 4 signings but I reckon O’Riley will be sold to fund it.
I’ve actually bet my Son Celtic will bring in at least 8 new signings before September. Only 6 more to go.
He’s probably already planning my forfeit. ?.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 12:17:04
And was quite definite when he said it. over to the the recruitment team . back the man.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 13:04:01
Going from Rodgers words the recruitment team and him have done their job, the players have been identified and McKay and Nicholson are working on getting the players in now.
4.) 24 Jul 2024 13:47:04
I see the conversation between BR and Nicholson and MacKay as the two Board members telling BR who they are in negotiation with to fill his areas of concern . BR is happy that they are on same page, but reminding fans that deals may not be sealed before end of window .
To me BR is in a positive place knowing Board are working on his requirements.
5.) 24 Jul 2024 14:52:45
I see it as Brendan Rodgers covering his own ar$e and letting us know the buck stops with Nicholson and McKay I don’t think it tells us for one minute that he’s in a ‘positive place’. He’s been here during his first tenure and he heard the same promises during the last two transfer windows that were subsequently panned in.
Pray tell the reason for your positivity?
6.) 24 Jul 2024 16:28:45
J I think he's right to cover his ar@e he's asking for help and it's up to the board to back the man. he needs new players and it'll he on rhe board if they don't deliver and we get mauled in the cl.
7.) 24 Jul 2024 16:14:18
That was my take on it as well JFP. ?.
8.) 24 Jul 2024 16:57:33
Mally
I agree he’s absolutely right to cover his ar$e I’m not pointing the finger at him he played a blinder last season I’m pointing it fairly and squarely at the board.
I was disagreeing that we can deduce from his comments that he’s in ‘a positive place’ with regard to Nicholson or McKay delivering.
Wee Joe ?.
9.) 24 Jul 2024 18:40:52
Some people will find a negative where there is none . The fact that he said Celtic were working on players that he is obviously happy with as he says they are identified players, pleases me no end . 38 days of window left and Boards working on identified players is really good thing .
A negative and covering his arse would be him saying Board are trying to pick out the type of players we have identified, but it is a slow process and I hope they will find them soon
Then we could all be negative.
10.) 24 Jul 2024 22:45:41
If the board members in charge of recruitment want us to be positive, then they should give us something to be positive about.
11.) 25 Jul 2024 07:28:22
With roughly 2 weeks before the season starts not having signed 1 single outfield player yet baffles me. I get signings can take time, but we're constantly hearing bernardo for instance is imminent, at this rate its looking like that'll happen when oriely is sold. Even bringing him and idah back only leaves us where we finished off last season. Barely a mention of players needed in other areas. Think we can all agree we need another Lb, Cb, and Rodgers himself saying he wants 3 strikers, right now we only have kyogo. I fully understand there's still plenty time in the window left but surely we want guys bedded in as soon as possible.
12.) 25 Jul 2024 14:20:37
The idea of Celtic signing 8 players this window was rather foolish . I would have been very happy 4-5 with a bit of quality . The 2 goalies are a sign of good intent.
13.) 26 Jul 2024 10:05:19
so are they sayin that had that meeting not took place that they wouldn't have known who we wanted to sign? did brendan leave for the usa then think wtf i meant to say to them last week that a had a list of players lying around . now what did a do with it sh. who did a have on it. what a load a tosh!
22 Jul 2024 13:41:30
Would data mining football manager do a better job at unearthing talent than our current recruitment team?
1.) 22 Jul 2024 14:05:14
Joe, I think most clubs use similar tactics with data, rather than traipsing all over the world to watch some obscure games.
2.) 22 Jul 2024 14:59:52
To be fair the "wonderkids" tend to do alright in real life more often than not.
{Ed007's Note - I'd say that most if not all clubs use FM as part of their data gathering.}
3.) 22 Jul 2024 16:06:11
I am sure I read somewhere that FM has more scouts worldwide than any club on the planet. That's how they know about all the young wonder kid players.
4.) 22 Jul 2024 22:31:07
The fact that Will Still went from FM to real life football manager says enough to me lol albeit a route via other roles in the game.
22 Jul 2024 02:48:50
Just saw a video clip of our game against DC united. When they played the us national anthem, one of our fans waved the Palestinian flag. ?.
21 Jul 2024 16:03:39
In one word sum up last season.
For me it was "painstaking".
Was delighted with the final outcome though.
1.) 21 Jul 2024 16:17:38
“Relief”
Because there’s no doubt the Celtic Board underestimated our nearest rivals last season.
2.) 21 Jul 2024 16:48:59
Brendan. Without him the boards ineptitude would have cost us the title.
3.) 21 Jul 2024 17:51:35
It’s a very strange comment to make that without BR we wouldn’t have won the league. BR did a great job but he wasn’t the only person . We got exceptional performance from Scales . Previous season he was on loan with Aberdeen, and few would have a good a season as had . Other that surprised many was Taylor, MO’R and Idah towards end . It isn’t just the performance of your top players but how much better than usual u. get from your back up players . Last season was very diff But we had long term injuries at the one time to key players . We suffered from bias ref and VaR officials so much that Head of Referees Crawford Allan had to resign , some of our negative supporters Kept claiming we wouldn’t win, but team had other ideas and won by 8.
4.) 21 Jul 2024 17:57:16

☘️ ? ☘️.
5.) 21 Jul 2024 18:21:32
Turbulent.
6.) 21 Jul 2024 18:39:15
Strange in your mind maybe. We are fortunate to have an elite manager who overcame all the issues you listed. exceptional and scales is not a phrase I have seen often. Brendan managed the ref issue very well by calling out Beaton and marking everyone’s card. he overcame the horrendous injuries. He brought idah in and his goals were crucial to winning the double. He brought Forrest back in and dumped the under performing wingers which were forced on him by the board. i notice you never gave a response to the one word topic that wee Joe posted. Away and have a lie down.
7.) 21 Jul 2024 18:54:33
I definitely felt relief at the end.
I think all the crap in the media about us, coupled with the dodgy officiating against Hearts, irked Brendan. After that he seemed to go into another gear and developed a siege mentality within the squad. I am sure getting over the finish line and ramming the hacks words back down their throats felt sweet for the coaching staff and players.
It was also turbulent as there were lots of bumps along the way. ?.
8.) 21 Jul 2024 19:29:43
It was great how Brendan worked the media and Clement.
He stayed Calm with all the “Good Girl” drama the Scottish media built up.
The same when he was facing a disciplinary hearing and a ban.
Brendan knew exactly how to address the awkward topic and he always looked in control.
Brendan played Clement fantastically well.
Clement got frustrated when Brendan mentioned he was the 5th Sevco manager he had beat.
The cherry on the cake,
Was when Clement lost the plot because Brendan mentioned our players were being sent out to have fun in another Glasgow Derby. ?
It was a frustrating season for Brendan but his experience showed in the end. ?.
9.) 21 Jul 2024 20:48:35
It was fergie-esque, how he played the baldy skeletor. ?.
10.) 21 Jul 2024 21:01:52
Buzz and wee Joe. Spot on.
11.) 22 Jul 2024 00:12:25
How are we fortunate to have an elite Manager, before BR came we had an elite Manager Ange, who walked out on Celtic who had given him the opportunity to manage at his highest ever level in Champions League . We replaced an elite manager with an elite manager.
12.) 22 Jul 2024 05:24:54
The poster @weejoe was referring to last season. maybe you should read again. We have a few elite managers through the years with Stein, ONeil etc.
Do you not think we are fortunate to have Brendan? If you don’t that’s all well and good but I’m sure that is very much a minority view.
13.) 22 Jul 2024 12:37:19
North 18, I just can’t see how when the Board get something right like employing an elite. Manager to replace an elite manager that we were very lucky
I have been told that after the Board got over its shock of what Ange landed them on days leading up to Scottish Cup Final, the Board including Dermot Desmond, their biggest shareholder plotted immediately to get who they considered to be the best Manager they could get and made him a fantastic offer and conditions to come back to Manage Celtic . Why are the Board not considered unlucky when they don’t get what they want, yet are considered lucky when they achieve what they like.
14.) 22 Jul 2024 15:02:01
I believe Brendan is an outstanding manager as he has proven with Celtic twice now and over a fair number of years in the EPL. We are fortunate in that he is a fan and loves the club and the life his family have made here. i have never mentioned the words lucky or unlucky in any of my posts so stop putting words in my mouth.
15 Jul 2024 22:49:57
I also had the strikes but wanted a chopper. ?
Lived in red road flats at the time and it was brutal carrying it up the stairs when the lift was broke.
13 Jul 2024 12:23:23
I would be delighted to have starfelt back at the club. Thought he was a cracking player who got a lot of undeserved stick.
19 Jun 2024 06:15:35
The fact he bossed it in the CL against Athletico is what has drove his price up.
Teams know that he can play at the highest level now.
11 May 2024 12:01:50
That was the XI I wanted to start today and we have players on the bench who can come in and make a positive contribution.
With regards to buzzs comment, we have the same number of players on the bench who have scored in this fixture as they have in their starting XI.
27 Apr 2024 10:32:29
Ed if we have not identified the players for the summer, sounded them out and tried to initiate talks then we are due to repeat the previous two windows.
I expect a goal keeper, striker, winger and left back brought in quickly as soon as the window opens.
If the board don't don't do that they are going to be under major pressure for the whole window.
{Ed007's Note - I'm hoping that there are players lined up that don't require any scouting, oven-ready players Brendan Rodgers has identified and then it's up to Michael Nicholson to negotiate.}
27 Jul 2024 13:56:20
I think he will be sold if someone meets or gets close to our valuation.
27 Jul 2024 11:32:05
I like the of vipotnik.
26 Jul 2024 15:36:23
Gerry can you give a breakdown of that 60-65M as it is not clear how you are calculating it.
25 Jul 2024 19:03:01
I thought he played well against city but only had about 30 minutes. He also got an assist.
25 Jul 2024 13:15:59
We don't have to but it is hard and silly not to when you receive a large amount for them.
