Good luck to Liam Henderson in the new chapter of his career. Maybe unfortunate to break into the side at a time when midfielders were rife but in all honesty he was just a bit short of being a mainstay in there. Good luck to the bhoy all the same ☘.

All these defender injuries, is something going on in training? Seems to be a fair whack of bad luck if not.

Ed, did we get anything out of Liam Henderson's move to Bari today?
I've seen media confirmation that the deal has been done but nothing about what's in it for us!

Some supporters on social media are driving me to despair. Bunch of greetin' faced panic merchants! Am I missing something here? Is there not still 2 weeks left of the window? Plenty of time left to do business now that the team are back from Dubai. Also the folk moaning about how Rangers are skint so how can they strengthen but we can't? 1) They need to sign more players because they're chasing us, not the other way about. 2) We've spent more on 2 signings than they have on their 5.

Spot on Kev. We're trying to improve a team and they're trying to polish a turd. ☘️.

We can afford to add quality not quantity, albeit I think their signings have been pretty good I still don’t think they’ll be a threat to us. We have the superior squad and we should compliment that when and where possible, not bulk buy or loan half a team. I get folk wanting signings but it bugs me how folk talk about the board and our transfers as if they actually have a clue what’s going on.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Jan 2018 20:30:49
We have a good unit and will add quality not panic buys.

Its a generational thing Kev, instant gratification with everything these days. No one has any patience at all, need to realise its not a computer game, can't just click to another page, buy, then put straight into a team. Sometimes i yearn for the days when you only found out Celtic signed someone when you got up and looked at a paper.

A wish they would do away with transfer windows, it's a pile of pish designed to get clubs spending money for the sake of it.

It wouldn't be half as bad as this. Teams need to bulk buy instead of buying what they need as they need it. It's like people that buy 3 loaves and 8 pints of milk on Christmas Eve in Asda, it's only shut for 1 day but u see the old dears fighting over a big 2 litre jug of milk n yer thinking to urself i doubt you'll get to see that empty hen.

Best wishes to Liam Henderson who has joined Bari. Loved watching this lad and although gutted he has left us he had to leave to progress and play football regularly. I hope he has a successful time out there and in the future he will make his way back to Paradise. HH.

Apparently Celtic have rubbished reports of the boy Tosic.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Jan 2018 18:24:02
A few people have said there will be movement nearer the deadline day so just need to wait.

Musunda (sic) I would take, Tosic yes. Caulker if that’s still an option could provide some experience at the back and has played at good levels. Grujic from Liverpool seems like yet more lazy journalism, the MSM will eventuallly get the right player that Rodgers used to manage 🙄

Taking players from the top 6-10 teams in England who are not getting a look in served us well with Sutton and the likes.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Grujic has joined Cardiff City for the rest of the season.}

Just a wee post on Ronaldinho's retirement. Sad to see the greatest entertainer I ever had the pleasure to witness with my own eye leave the game. Still talk about the nights he came and lit up celtic park. Played the game for fun never had that goofy smile off his face as it was pure joy to be playing the game we all love for him each time he had the ball at his feet. Says it all for the talent and person when he got that standing ovation at the bernabeu against madrid when he destroyed them on his own.

Nobody will be wishing that wee fud Naymar well when his playing days are over! Ignorant, arrogant twat ae ah boay! He'll retire a multi-millionaire and an absolute fud! PS: Lustig let himself down he should have whacked the heid on him and just took the lifetime ban!

17 Jan 2018 19:47:33
Neymar is probable the nearest to him in terms of natural skill ability but as u said he's a wee pie and will never be held to the high regards that the buck tooth wonder is.

Ed have you heard anything on the Jack Rodwell front? Free transfer he's worth taking a punt on surly.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't take him on a free, he's garbage and thankfully we have no interest in him.}

17 Jan 2018 17:31:57
Wouldn’t touch Rodwell with a barge pole! Brown Ntcham Armstrong far better than Rodwell! And I heard he’s on 70 grand a week! Staggering honestly!

The following multi agency press release has just been released.

BBC Scotland, Radio Clyde, Evening Times, Daily Record and Scottish Sun, would like to give advice to talented Scottish players and their Scottish clubs when any bids come in from Celtic and Rangers.

Firstly we applaud Neil McCann the Dundee manager in his reasons for setting a minimum £1.5million on the young player Hendry, where Celtic are concerned, they have oodles of cash and every last penny should be squeezed out of them.
On the other hand any Scottish club receiving a bid about any of their players from Rangers, should consider, for the good of the game here in Scotland, and lower their asking price. Clubs such as Kilmarnock and Hamilton should be eternally grateful that Glasgow Rangers are even thinking of bidding for their players. We implore both clubs, and any other club, to immediately lower their expectations of a fee, to further make these promising players dream come true to play at Ibrox stadium.

This statement will be repeated hourly until all the clubs see sense.

Great news about the conspiracy theory site ED, i would advise all posters to have a look, given the masonic based posts. full of really well informed and clever people (like me n ED! ) its a cracking start to life as a truther.

As a starter check churhills REAL history given the fawning shi7 we are being spoon fed at he moment.

17 Jan 2018 14:21:19
Have to say i've been enjoying reading these kind of threads over the last couple of days. It seems more and more folk are becoming aware of what's going on in the world, no longer dismissing it all as "mad conspiracy theories". The people we vote for aren't the ones with the power.

U should watch the video on 5G on that page, it's scary stuff they have planned for us.

The 5G stuff is going to be here soon. I work in telecoms and the investment in Scotland alone with one client is c. £35m to get broadband out to all locations.

In Ireland there are projects coming that are in the billions.

Worrying times. Then you read about the black pope etc.

Looks like a lot of previously described mad men may not be as mad as you think.

That article said he never lived up to the promise he once showed? Has there ever been a player with faster feet?! He mibi didn’t perform at the top level on the pitch for as many years as he should have but he’s one of the greatest players ever.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - so you are agreeing but still want to argue about it? He should be in the argument for the greatest player of all time but he isn't because he never lived up to his promise. Having fast feet is not the be all and end all or Raheem Sterling would be a living legend.}

17 Jan 2018 07:22:12
I agree that he didn’t do it at the highest level for long enough but he was sensational when he did but in many ways he’s lucky he never came up against as ancomplished defender as James Tavernier.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - good point. I wonder if it was seeing Alan Hutton play at his 'peak' that made him turn to the partying lifestyle? Probably realised there was no point in training hard as he would never be able to beat the Scottish Cafu.....}

17 Jan 2018 17:26:18
Enjoyed watching Ronaldhino more than anyone else I've seen. What a player. Never forget one mad goal against Chelsea. He could do things with the ball I couldn't even imagine.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2018 18:19:54
For me he was the inventor of the freestyle which Neymar is most like in this generation. Ronaldo closely behind, both great players but lack the humility and joy that Ronaldinho has or had when playing.

Would have a in form Ronaldinho ahead of any current player.

Just as I made a decision twenty years and more ago to read no more sport pages of Scottish newspapers and to avoid Scottish media outlets because of their bias anti Celtic reporting . I have now, regretfully have had to do the same with your posts.
I won't be reading any of your posts as I read posts on forums like this to feel good about my club, I read them for enjoyment, unfortunately the constant negatively of your posts were having a continuous depressing effect on me . I use Celtic to keep me happy in my older years.

Glad to hear it. I will be difficult to get by without your medical and family rearing advice, but I'll cope. Making a decision to stop reading stuff shows me at least a clear sign of a victim syndrome. Maybe you should go get it checked out.

If not felt with you live in a wee bubble of your own creation, that filters out reality and has the debilitating side effect of a compulsion to clap furiously at all times.

I do though hope you continue to be happy.

17 Jan 2018 14:37:07
There's never a day when I agree with all the posts on here OMC but that's the way it should be as it generates debate and comment.
Like me, you are a long time contributor Chris and probably also like me you are in your 60's? and see things differently from younger posters and I think you should stick around and share your opinions.
Us auld yins have to keep active somehow.

I have said repeatedly that I believe the board will act this window, moving us forward to the next level. As the days go on I must admit that the old fears of not acting when ahead are lurking. I still think we will though.

I believe that self criticism is essential in everyday life as well as our team. The tendency to see the world and our team as we hope it is, rather than how it actually is, is always a bad strategy.

I have criticised the defence, the keeper, the failure to get in players in the summer. I stand by all of that. I have criticised the board for waiting on acting when there is no choice rather than from a position of strength. I stand by that and that is backed up with decades of missing a trick. I stand by that too.

I have belief in Rogers, I want him to increase his reputation by making us better in Europe. I think we all know the first step in that process is being better defensively. If we improve in Europe we will lrun a savvy at home. I am concerned the ability to ensure CL qualification and the cash, so vital to us, will be compromised if we don't address the areas we are vulnerable. To increase the gap with Rangers is dependent upon our ability to achieve that.

I have criticised players who I feel are either not good enough, or haven't fulfilled their potential. I don't believe in sentimentality when it comes to playing for us. you're either good enough or you aint. I want all the players to fulfil their potential and shine. When that doesn't happen its not my fault. I want to be able to say we have a raft of great young players coming through, I can't, because we have said that every year for years and only three had made the first team regular status in over ten years. Agian this not my fault. Pointing it out is not negative, ignoring it is.

I have said we are not firing this yer so far. Who would disagree with that? There have been certain performances I felt we had been outstanding, but not enough.
I absolutely believe we will find our form, but feel we need to address areas that continually undo us. that's not negative, this a fact.

Some people cannot bear any criticism of the team. I get that. But, when were fighting together rid of the old cabal board there were people who opposssed that as they saw it as an attack on Celtic. It saved Celtic.

All of my criticisms would be removed with a genuine attempt to invest in the areas requiring it. I will repeat, I absolutely believe we wild this during this window. Rogers is too good a manager not t realise hat his team needs. I believe the board will be focusing on how to ensure we keep the CL qualification and pot of gold. They now investment is required to achieve that.

All I ever for want for our club is to have a go. Not to hesitate and hope. I have seen that too often and it always ends in a decline. We are in a position do kill off any threat from Rangers for a decade never mind 10. I think everyone at Celtic has to address that. The fans are turning ut, season tickets are on a waiting lit, CL package sell out. We buy the merchandise. Im only asking Lwell to live up to the statement he made.

"Every penny generated by us is used to strengthen the team".

Lets start this window and send all who hate us down to their local health centre for a valium prescription, repeat of course.

Winter is coming for them. let's deliver it.

Hail Hail.
