Whats happened to the supposed two signings we were making ed? have they fell through or are they just on the back burner due to the CL tie?

{Ed007's Note - If you mean Duffy and Toure then the decision is down to the players now mate.}

Rodgers said he would find out by last wednesday about the two signings so it looks like we have had no joy. No panic just now but its still early doors in the window, i've still got a theory that Rodgers won't be told his full budget until after we qualify for the CL and as i said the other week maybe that's what Rodgers is waiting on, the chance to go for a better class of player with the extra revenue he would get with CL qualification.

Afternoon Ed, James Forrest and Charlie Mulgrew
Have they signed new deals or are they?
Surely JF can't play tomorrow night as a trialist but can't see where he has signed a new deal?
A hear Mulgrew carrying a knock but is he playing his ticket or off mate? (y)

{Ed007's Note - Mulgrew's out of contract so he's not a Celtic player, Aberdeen are interested in resigning him. I've no idea what's happening with Forrests contract but if he's still under contract it's got another year to run, all this talk of contracts running out in December is bollocks and only ever seems to get mentioned for Celtic players.}
11 Jul 2016 16:52:54
I'm sure Brendan mentioned himself that Forrests contract runs to December ED. i for one hope we get rid of him ASAP! He's done absolutely nothing to warrant a new contract! More deadwood that needs to be shipped out!

{Ed007's Note - Go and find me any other player from the UK, France, Italy, Germany etc, any league that runs from summer to summer whose contract expires in December. Or try and find any player that signed for clubs in a January window who didn't sign a contract for X and a half year.
When has any player ever been a free agent in a January window because their contract expired, when have you ever heard of a Bosman move during the January window?}
11 Jul 2016 18:02:32
Ok Ed, There been nothing about a new deal for JF that site you redirect us to sometimes showing he is effectively out of contract
Under RD we know he was refusing to sign a new deal mate it just seems strange to me
Also Mulgrew was saying he was to get offered a new deal so that has petered out too? just seems very quiet on both players now (y)
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed007's Note - Everywhere was reporting that Forrest would be leaving this summer after rejecting a new deal and there was no mention of us getting a fee for him, even in interviews with RD.
"Of course we want to keep our best players. It's not like now nothing is going to happen, you never know in football but he’s rejected it and now we have to take that forward and we know that he has one year left on his contract."
I think if anything was going to happen with Mulgrew it already would have by now.}

What is everyone thinking on bitons transfer interest? If it is to be believed we refused 6m and have said 10m or he stays. I may be off the mark but I don't see anyone outside the epl paying that. I know he still has a healthy contract to run but 10m I think is a bit too much with his form and a few things missing from his game.
We have been doing what we can to bring in new faces but I thought we would have had more money to play with as most of the links have been within our usual budget. Could be wrong but I've got the feeling any decent investment will again rely upon negotiating these qualification rounds.

I don't see anybody in the EPL wanting him tbh. I always said I thought Samaras would have done well in La Liga or Serie A because he liked time on the ball and to get his head up and I would place Bitton in that bracket also. A slower, more technical game would suit him.

I would take anything north of £6mill for him he has went off the boil IMO
Ajer moving forward is the most natural to play the deep of the three take this and the SJ money buy or invest in better and reduce the squad size overall far to big IMO.

If the 6m was a genuine bid then I'm surprised it was rejected. He has quality I just can't get over a player of his size not having a physical side. He isn't going to be a flair player for us so I'd need him to be better defensively for him to be part of our new set up.

Tell that to Cannavaro and Puyol drb ;)
Seriously though, there are a few exceptions. If you can jump the extra few inches, read the game well and position your body correctly, you don't need height. It's this kids tenacity when winning the ball, pace and actual ability ability on the ball taking it forward that is so great. He's 'total football'.
Can't see this. I couldn't see Dembele either but the difference here is St. Juste won't be leaving on a free/ compo. And we genuinely couldn't pay what he'll go for.

Aye bhoy wonder but he had a 10ft hairy monster as a df partner not to mention his shiny sword. know what your saying jim Tim but they where the exceptions. stanton wasn't the tallest either and he was a great player I see he can also play Def mid maybe br thinks we don't have enough mids.
