to the guy that said kayal iz to go to wigan celtic wont sell for anything less than 6 mill and he said he wants to stay for at least another season if he gets an improved contract plus he could get a game in the top 6 teams ( ed is there any reasson y kayal hasent been awarded a new conract surley that would be done first before anything else including izaguire its fustrating we need these players to get that leauge bak off the shame) {Ed007's Note - Kayal knows there is a new contract waiting for him, NL is on holiday and Kayal is back home. He never said he was looking to leave just wanted a new deal. I have heard today he is only on 7k a week basic!!!! I nearly fell off my chair when I heard that}

He and Izaguirre from what I've heard are two of the lowest paid players at the club.

I'd stick them both on 5 years at 25 k a week given the opportunity. Would definitely be money well spent. {Ed007's Note - It wouldn't break the bank IMO and both players would be delighted with that}

look guys we got to except that there will be idiots on this spreading sh*t and trying to wind us up, the reality is we need to make a choice with the names we where linked with - Keane, given, long, we can only afford one of them to think all three will arrive at once is madness

Hi Ed, how many players do you think we need.I say a G/KEEPER and a pacey C/F.How about CUIDICINI at SPURS and SIMON COX W.B.A whay you yhink Ed.....HOOPIE007..... {Ed007's Note - Not sure about Cudicini, he is nearly 38 and Cox has scored about 10 goals in 2 years}

--------------------------------------------------
ed cudicini has just signed new deal with spurs an he is 34 not 38 what age is given ??????YNWA {Ed007's Note - Carlo Cudicini was born on 6 September 1973 in Milan, Italy, Shay Given turned 35 in April}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Sorry ed u will be right so u think its bad to sign a 38yr gk but a 35 yr gk is ok ??
would just like ur thoughts


YNWA {Ed007's Note - No, unless Given was on a free transfer and took a drastic cut in wages I would rather we went for someone else. I definitely do not want him on loan as I have said before}

Agree0 Disagree0

I understand the loan thing but to say you wouldnt want given in the sticks at celtic is lunacy {Ed007's Note - I am not saying that, all I mean was it would need to be beneficial to Celtic rather than Given}

{Ed007's Note - Craig Whyte has released the long awaited shareholder circular providing an explanation of his company's takeover of the club. Here is a link to the PDF file of it:

www.rangers.co.uk/staticFiles/4d/76/0, , 5 161357, 00.pdf

It is hard reading but here is a breakdown of it:

rangerstaxcase.com/2011/06/06/rangers-circular-released/

This isn't a Celtic rumour, why is it on this page. I don't think the Rangers editor would post Celtic related content. {Ed007's Note -It is not a rumour, it is on the News pages. It is of interest to CFC fans. If you do not want to read it you do not have to. Do you have a problem with its content perhaps? I run this site, what I do is no concern of the Rangers editor and vice versa}

Here! Here! Ed007 get him told! :) {Ed007's Note -As a CFC fan I am obviously interested in what Rangers are doing, I would imagine Rangers fans are the same about Celtic. If not why was he even on the CFC site in the first place? Maybe to see things without blue tinted glasses on?}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

An a gers fan mate an just come on here to laugh at stuff like ur signing pato, bojan etc i couldnt care less what celtic do {Ed007's Note - So why come on here? That is a bit of a contradiction. If you want a laugh look at your own site and read about how AF does absolutely everything he can to help Rangers. How you are going to sign Berbatov? Oh and the all time classic: "Rangers have £12 million to spend on players." I think there is ample comedy on the Rangers site to keep children amused}

It is the website you have posted I have an issue with, it is completely unreliable and just one persons take on the issue. {Ed007's Note -The PDF file is the actual document sent out to Rangers shareholders, as for other links I really do not see what concern it is of yours. I could link it to hundreds of sites that explain the situation in laymans terms, but I chose that one for my own reasons.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How sad you lot are, you're obviously concerned more with what Rangers are doing than your own club. 4IAR here we go. {Ed007's Note - The links were posted as soon as the material was available days ago. The PDF is the OFFICIAL document released by Mr. Whyte and Rangers. It is not mine or anyone else on this sites fault if it makes for grim reading. After days, this is just people commenting on it? Has it took that long for it to sink in that the takeover wasn't as great as you expected?}

Is the penny beginning to drop for some folk? It's big news with a possible drastic/fantastic outcome whichever side of the fence you are on and yet we are still not freely reading about it in our fair minded press!

Sky Sports News have ran an interview with Shay Given a couple of times today. He's currently in Belfast on a coaching course with Alan Thompson. He's asked about playing for Celtic by the person interviewing him. He says all the usual cliche stuff about it's a big club and it'd be good to play for them. All words however, no substance.

He also says Alan Thompson's been nagging him to sign for Celtic, while the two of them have been on the coaching course however this is a bit of a tongue in cheek comment.

Does give some substance to the rumours seen on this page recently saying Shay and Alan Thompson have been spotted together around about Belfast. Which came across as a bit random but seems it isn't as far fetched as it sounds.

"kayal isnt going anywhere?where do u make these stories up was on the celtic website weeks ago hes here for next season"
----------------------------------------------------
Your are correct, in that there is nothing concrete to say that Kayal is leaving. At present he is a Celtic player, Celtic have not said that he is for sale and the player has also not said that he wants to leave.

But at the same time, you can't say that he isn't going anywhere, because you don't know this.

The earlier posting was not saying that Kayal was leaving. Read it again, it is very clear. What it was doing was raising the issue of what would happen if Celtic did receive a large bid for him. It raised the issue if we got a bid of circa £6m (Ed thinks we would get £8m), could Lennon replace him with a couple of better players. Given that Kayal has made comment in today's newspapers about getting paid significantly higher wages and newspaper reports over the last few days of their being interest in him from the Premiership, I don't think this was an unreasonable topic to raise.

Again, the post at no time said Kayal was leaving, so I wasn't making anything up, as you have suggested. {Ed007's Note - We are only discussing the matter, is it not better than the "new amigos" talk? I have put another article on the News page, that again backs up the no McFadden deal and covers other things}

If Celtic get a bid of circa £6m for Kayal, it may be beneficial to sell him if Lennon has got another couple of targets that he thinks are better players and fit in with his long term plans, and which can be purchased for the £6m or for less. What are your thoughts Ed? {Ed007's Note - Like I said, if it gets out that CFC are willing to sell Kayal I think it could spark a bit of a bidding war. NL will already have MF (and other positions) targets in mind should anyone leave this window. It should boost the transfer kitty by at least £8m if Kayal leaves. I still doubt that he will though. It would be a perfect example of the way CFC and Rangers should be working, bring in a player, let him make his mark and then sold for a good profit. Although it can't happen every year, the team needs some continuity which is why IMO a GK is a priority this summer. Not a loan but a recognised No.1. I see Boruc is being linked with Spurs.}

Evening Times are reporting that Celtic ARE NOT interested in Faddy (just in case the spam filer has been activated). Hopefully that's the last we'll hear of this name as he's not good enough for us and too injury prone. {Ed007's Note -That is ok, that is something concrete, not just "McFadden is signing coz he's a celtic fan"}

hey Ed noticed in one of your earlier replys that you said Kayal will be offered an improved deal desevingly so but the big question is does Celtic think Kayal is worth what Kayal thinks he is worth i doubt it as we both Know the english championship can pay more than the OF

(loved Lawell comments in the daily record regarding the English/Welsh Premiership spot on)

Tonydom {Ed007's Note - From what I can see Tony, Kayals new deal will be touching on top Championship/lower EPL wages using image rights etc to boost his pay packet. Celtic realise they have a gem on their hands and accept he will leave. I think they want him to sign a bumper deal, stay for a year and get top dollar next summer for him}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

More than likely Ed i dont think both sets of OF fans realise how much it takes to keep players now. i see over in our own rumours pages ppl going on about how we have 12 Million to spend in tranfer market if in fact we do have 12 Million most of this will go on tyeing up players and loan fees as well as wages we will be lucky if we spend 4 Million on players coming in


Tonydom {Ed007's Note - That's what I have been trying to say Tony, the £12m investment is in the club NOT the team. It will cover wages, new deals for players, refurbishing the facilities etc. It is there in black and white in Whytes staement}

according to sky sports, kayal wants more money or hes going to the premiership ---- he might think he's going to the premiership, but unless any one meets the club's valuation he aint going nowhere

Kayal is quite right to want more money if a club value a player at 10 million his wages should reflect that. as for "he might think he's going to the premiership, but unless any one meets the club's valuation he aint going nowhere" lets be honest guys if kayal wants to go and say villa offer 4 Million do you honestly think Celtic have enough money to make him sit it out till his contract expires. Get real he will be off unless Celtic pay him what he thinks hes worth regardless if someone meets Celtic evaluation or not.


Tonydom {Ed007's Note - If he was being sold Tony, I reckon it could be a bit of a bidding war. Big teams in England think nothing of spending £7/8 million on a player, it isn't much of a gamble to them. Even Blackburn and Sunderland could pay £8m for Kayal and still be in profit from selling Jones/Henderson}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I Agree Ed i think Kayal is a fantastic player and is worth 8 to 10 Million my point is if Celtic or Rangers (Jelavic) value their players at say 10 Million thier wages must reflect this.

if not then they will leave wether the clubs evaluation is met or not as Celtic or Rangers dont have the finances to keep these players against their will.
Rangers done it once with Marco Negri but in the past we have lost players like Claudia rainier, graig Moore, danny wilson to name a few. and in the past Celtic lost the likes of Caddete, vanhoydonkey, viduka etc and that was in the times both our clubs where far more financialy stable


Tonydom {Ed007's Note - Exactly, I am trying to upload Kayals statement on the News page just now}

I wouldn't have a problem signing McFadden, provided he has to go through a very strict medical. He's one of those players you would rather have in your team than not. Like Kris Commons, can u imagine the peepul had signed him? Its only my opinion but I think he's definitely worth a punt if he can prove he is fit. Also I believe Aldo De Nigris is joint 2nd top scorer at the GOLD Cup, only Chicarito has scored more goals. Would really like to see him wearing the quality new away top on the back page of the sun. U seen it yet ed?

If mcfadden proves his fitness then fair enough sign him cause its a lot of money to spend on wages for a guy who has a knee as strong as an ice lolly...

no ed its the new green/grey with green pinstripes quite smart actually.

who is this aldo de nigris we are linked with to any good?

viewparkbhoy {Ed007's Note - I'll need to try and see it mate, you got a link to it? (remember take out the http:// part) and I'll post a pic up. De Nigris does look a great player to me, if there was a chance I'd snap him up. There is interest in him from Spain though}

Agree0 Disagree0

No ed it has thick grey and white hoops with really thin green hoops, round green neck and green sleeves. It looks a wee bit like a training top but pretty smart.
