I wonder if Falcao would take a wage drop, to come to Scotland, to find his shooting boots again. :D.
17 May 2016 22:38:25
Im sure it wouldn't be a problem for him to take a £250,000 a week pay drop to come and play at Firhill on a cold wet Tuesday night in January
17 May 2016 23:15:48
I'm sure he'd love it. He'd be sure to make it through the season uninjured.
17 May 2016 20:13:49
Don't want to burst anyone's bubble all those getting excited about Rodgers being our next manager.
Heard a rumour he got a big pay off from Liverpool (over £2m) and if he takes another job that money stops, so DD will have to bankroll Rodgers for about that amount of money, minimum, if he is to be our next manager.
{Ed001's Note - it is the pay off from his contract he got, which is why he is asking for a high wage.}
18 May 2016 09:17:08
Just reading there that he's still due 10m from Liverpool! Clearly there's a bit of toing and froing to be done and it's going to come down to what most expected, mula.
18 May 2016 10:27:58
So we'd have to pay mega bucks to get him? If that's the case I'd find an alternative, as much as I think he'd be a great appointment I don't think it's worth paying stupid money. Hopefully he won't be demanding all that. Another guy i think who would be great but doubt we've looked at is Martin Jol, his record is fantastic, good football n develops youth. Maybe he's unrealistic I don't know. Have you heard of any developments Ed? Anyone else think of different candidates?
17 May 2016 19:05:21
Any one of Rodgers, moyes or Keane would do for me as the next manager. In my opinion though we need a manager in straight away and that's the only reason I can't see it being Keane with him being involved at the euros this year. I don't think we can wait till that tournament is by to appoint Keane. I just hope the board do everything in they're power to bring in the very best that we can afford/ attract to Scotland.
17 May 2016 19:25:11
I don't know how far we have cast the net . but restricting it to "celtic minded / irish" candidates as we seem to have done is short changing the fans imo . if an offer from an epl side came their way the 3 you mention would drop us like a hot shite.
17 May 2016 19:37:14
I do agree that the 3 I've mentioned would drop us like a hot shite as u say but I think that would go for most big name managers. If we take them out the picture, who would u fancy mate?
17 May 2016 20:11:37
I'd like galtier of st ettienne. who I think would possibly see celtic as a step up . an exiting one which we don't have the ambition or balls to go for is gallardo of river plate. my gripe with all these so called celtic minded managers is they would overlook us in a heart beat as they covet the epl so why do people clamour for them as if they share the same passion as us . I think a euro manager of same standing would see us as a step up or even a stepping stone which I don't mind as once they are in they like most of our euro buys find life/ football here. better than they expected.
17 May 2016 20:35:05
Deep river buoy, the managers you mention would drop us in a heartbeat also. I don't get why you think it's okay for a foreign manager to use us as a stepping stone, but it's not okay for the likes of Moyes, Rodgers, etc.
I think that we should look at appointing an experienced manager, wherever he comes from, our last couple of managers have been inexperienced and it hasn't really worked. I hope we don't go down that road again.
17 May 2016 21:39:14
I never said any particular manager couldn't use us a stepping stone . If they are good and it gets them in the door. whether they would drop us also is irrelevant until we should ever approach them . its this celtic minded pish that annoys me I want the best not just someone who played with us or maybe supported us or are irish. . how is that a relevant skill wise for a manager. also I don't particularly think any of them are great managers.
17 May 2016 21:57:55
Apart from selling season tickets and appeasing us impatient lot, is there any need for the manager to be appointed asap? I don't think there much he can do right now, are the players not on holiday? Surely it's better to assess all the candidates and make the best decision. I'm all for Rodgers though!
17 May 2016 23:38:17
i wish they would try for flores, or martinez ? so long as it ain't keane, and someone with a bit of talent then i'll be happy. i think it may be rodgers, we shall see
18 May 2016 00:02:01
I really can't see Rodgers coming to Celtic. If it happens then he is as good as we can expect but not holding my breath. Think it will be a lower profile manager as I can't see him working for less than £2mill a year and Pedro won't pay that.
18 May 2016 10:09:13
The financial 'penalty' that has been reported about Rogers seems very harsh? I could see Liverpool not wanting him to go to a rival, but why hinder him taking a job in another country - or have I misunderstood the situation?
{Ed001's Note - he has a contract that has to be paid up by Liverpool, unless he takes another job. It is not a penalty as such, Liverpool are just still paying his wages and the ridiculous contract off that he was given. You are better off without the clueless buffoon anyway, he has all the footballing acumen of a two year old child.}
17 May 2016 18:09:17
So let's get the story straight:
Celtic will appoint Malky Mackay as new manager as they could not reach agreement with Brendan Rodgers.
Always the cheap option Cynical or what?
I hope i am wrong, but fear I am right
HH.
17 May 2016 18:35:08
I will be so, so disappointed and so totally disillusioned with the club if the appoint MacKay. Not the big, ambitious appointment the fans want and a racist to boot.
He shouldn't be anywhere near in the running.
17 May 2016 19:33:54
So happy to see that Rodgers report on sky, some ambition at last! I honestly think he'd be fantastic at developing some of our bhoys. Can't wait t see Celtic Park rocking again!
17 May 2016 19:55:47
I'm sorry but if it is Rodgers it will be a fantastic piece of business. He has managed at the top level and is a manager that English epl clubs would want. He was so close to winning the epl with Liverpool and took the first Welsh team into the top league in England. He will have contacts, experience and a desire to win so if we get him then we should back him all the way and success will, follow.
17 May 2016 20:41:48
Dont get me wrong guys, I would love Rodgers to be our next manager, but don`t think DD or the board are willing to pay the top $$$ that is needed to secure his services.
17 May 2016 21:15:26
Plus neither Liverpool or Milan want Balotelli so that loan we were discussing on here last week will be in the bag too haha!
17 May 2016 17:19:30
I know the manager situation isn't sorted yet, but I see Miroslav Klose is leaving Lazio this summer, would love it if we made a move for him, still got the goal scorers touch and would bring a wealth of attacking experience which he could pass on to Griffiths and even some of our younger strikers, thoughts Bhoys?
17 May 2016 18:13:24
Klose is a class act - swap him for Cole!
17 May 2016 18:15:06
Is he not about 145 now?
17 May 2016 18:34:15
Lol cmcbhoy, he's 37 hardly young but I'd say he's still ten times the player CKR or Calrton Cole are, as I said he could pass on some great knowledge to our younger strikers, as seen with KT this season saying Emilo was always giving him tips in training that kind of figure at the club can be a great asset to have.
17 May 2016 18:55:42
I'd take klose in a heartbeat would score for fun and the level of big game experience he has would do us the world of good in European games as well as his goal scoring exploits are sublime. Very unlikely to happen mind you, which is a pity but I'm sure we will soon be linked with everyone as we have been with the talk of a new manager. Hail hail.
17 May 2016 19:31:52
Zlatans available, he's the better option.
17 May 2016 22:43:38
Zlatan no7 for the hoops we can but dream.
18 May 2016 05:16:18
I think this time DD and the board will pay top $$$$$$ to get a big name in especially after reading that DD was raging about the Semi final and Sevco back in the league.
They have arsed about for 4 years penny pinching and I just feel they will spend on a good manager and in the transfer market to put the dark side in their place.
17 May 2016 17:14:55
You can't say how successful an appointment will be but I for one would be happy with Rodgers.
I know we would all want him to have free reign over all football matters but do any of you think there might be a role for Lennon.
Not saying Rodgers would want him but I remember TB coming back as coach under Strachan having had his time as manager. If it was good enough for a legend then would Lennon consider it?
17 May 2016 17:41:07
Knowing what a number two does, there is a world of a difference between TB and NL. As well as which, in terms of returning, there was a lot more time/ water under the bridge.
Can't we just accept NL had his time and has left? Why are we trying to find him a job? He chose to leave. Good luck to him.
17 May 2016 19:12:47
Agree tpp he's had his time and they always say it's never the same when you back somewhere and I don't see no progressing us the way we need to. And I like Lenny as well, always have, but no for me. I'd prefer Rodgers to be the new man, although I'm unsure about what use he would make of youth but football wise you'd hope he could get us playing attractive football, to be honest none of the names make me go, that's the one, but out of the names mentioned i'd take rodgers 1st and or even steve clarke or keane as a last resort if that's how they went but the rest I don't really fancy but will give the manager players and club my backing no matter who comes in. I would however prefer a forward thinking manager who could take us places over the longer term but rd has just left so that's that 1 gone. If not from the names I've heard the shout 4 flores is a good 1 hail hail.
17 May 2016 17:13:24
Great news that Rodgers is the number 1 target. I was going for keane although I'm delighted with this if it comes off
Secondly if it does happen who on earth apart from the usual handful can he say showed great character at the end of the game.
17 May 2016 15:28:28
Awryt ed. ya think rodgers will be presented as manager 2nyt?
HH
Chris1888.
{Ed007's Note - I don't think so.}
17 May 2016 16:04:33
What's all the hype about Rodgers about?, his record minus Suarez is no better than Lamberts.
17 May 2016 16:08:51
Wonder f this will drag out and not get it across the line. bemused hw moyes hasn't bn contacted unless he's already told sum1 he's not intrested?
HH
Chris1888.
17 May 2016 16:32:59
Kenny Dalglish had Suarez and didn't get to second in league.
Chris1888 how do you know he hasn't?
17 May 2016 17:36:04
Kev83 i was going by sly spurts mate. (kno i shudn't) lol
HH
Chris1888.
17 May 2016 17:41:34
My question was about his record minus Suarez, and Lamberts.
17 May 2016 18:40:32
Not hame fae work yet so haven't seen it yet Chris
17 May 2016 19:07:23
Who cares about a record minus some players.
Happens to all managers when there best players ain't available.
17 May 2016 19:12:15
i'm more intrested in what rodgers done with swansea than liverpool he had swansea playing fast attractive passing football on a relatively low budget. out of intrest aindoh who would you like as manager?
17 May 2016 19:53:04
Chris Hughton, would be an interesting appointment, if he was available, I would have nothing against Hartley, Hughes or Tommy Wright, people seem to think that just because a managers, a big time Charlie in the EPL, it makes them a good manager, much in the same way the English look down their noses at players in the SPL, some people up here are in awe of anyone who has managed or mismanaged in the epl.
17 May 2016 20:20:06
I love it how people try to put managers down by taking players out and saying where would they be! Ok Suarez helped get Liverpool to second place which should have been first but where would Celtic be without Griffiths this season or MON without Larsson? Where would Ranieri be without Vardy? Where would Sunderland have ended up without Defoe? The list goes on so to claim they would be nowhere without a certain player is a sign of someone who is not happy with anyone coming in.
17 May 2016 21:26:21
Aindoh get a grip!
Tommy Wright, Paul Hartley and John Hughes there is a reason they manage at there teams there not good enough elsewhere.
17 May 2016 22:07:10
Well said edg. You could also compliment these managers on the work they've done with these players. Being their coaches they should take the credit.
17 May 2016 22:49:21
My memory is bad, Kevt, where did Fergie manage before he was at Aberdeen?
17 May 2016 15:18:33
Well if Sly Spurts is to believed Brenden Roger is Celtics No1 Target! If true we all have to admit the board are finally showing some ambition! He's as big a name as any of us could have hopped for!
And hats off to Ed007 he told us so 2 weeks ago let's hope we can pull this off! I think it's exciting times ahead for our great club!
17 May 2016 15:46:00
Got to agree with you Gaz. He's arguably the most high profile of all the names we thought we could realistically get. Whether or not he would end up being the right choice, only time will tell but the club look as if they're finally going to give us what we've been crying out for.
17 May 2016 16:50:24
Ok I'm excited. :-)
17 May 2016 17:04:40
I remember Lambert distancing himself from the Celtic job some time ago but I thought Moyes would have been a prime candidate along with Keane and Rogers?
Hopefully we will make the right appointment this week although they might hold back an announcement until cup final day just for the hell of it?
17 May 2016 11:43:23
Come on lads and lassies, don't fall for the Newspapers transfer rumours for our most exciting prospect. They're taking the proverbial. He can stay for a few years and get Danny Mcgrains words of wisdom. Agree he could be future Captain, as seems to be talented, never say die and a well mannered lad. Could be first of many from Academy?
17 May 2016 10:55:52
ED, I noticed that Brendan Rodgers is one of the favourites to be the next England manager. Do you think that would put us off appointing him, as if England were to have a poor tournament at the Euros and Hodgson gets sacked, he might only be here a few weeks?, or could Lawwell be cynical enough to appoint him knowing he might get a few million in compensation for a few weeks work? .
I know it sounds far fetched, but football is a cynical business these days, I would be surprised if they hadn't considered it.
{Ed007's Note - That's not going to happen.}
17 May 2016 09:13:42
Morning ED can't belong now surely to know next manager going to be must be close now about finishing the interview process.
{Ed007's Note - Nobody can accuse the Club of any knee-jerk reactions can they lol. Everything seems to take an eternity with them these days.}
17 May 2016 13:05:07
It's possible that they've had to wait until the end of the season as their main target is already at another club. But that's not as likely as them just dragging their heels lol.
{Ed007's Note - If that's the case then it will be Keane, he's the only serious contender that's in a job.}
17 May 2016 14:50:01
You reckon Ed? Can you definitely not see them getting a surprise candidate who hasn't been mentioned? On another note I see that Liverpool are supposedly going for the Mainz keeper which means Danny Ward may be available. Apparently he was outstanding for Aberdeen, maybe worth a wee punt for the guys who don't rate Gordon like yourself Ed? People will say Fasan but he seems to get constantly overlooked.
{Ed007's Note - I think that after trying that with RD they will go down the 'Celtic minded' road to try and get the fans back onside. I wouldn't see Ward as any more than a squad player and for me we need a new No.1}
17 May 2016 16:02:15
I never saw much of him Ed but a lot of folk were saying Aberdeen could have took the league right to the wire if they'd managed to keep him.
{Ed007's Note - I don't think he's any better than Bailly though and I'd rather see what Fasan can do rather than bring in another young - and relatively inexperienced - GK.}
17 May 2016 17:43:11
Newsnow has a story just up linking us with Charltons Nick Pope.
17 May 2016 09:19:29
How will fans react if Tierney goes for £10 million. Great wee player but £10 million?
Me I would be disappointed and show again a lack of ambition. Don't think the bhoy wants to leave so enough grabbing money with a fairly substantial queue of players in front of him.
Tierney should be groomed for becoming a captain and legend!
17 May 2016 09:38:29
Which toe are we selling for 10 million.
17 May 2016 10:01:31
End of the day it all depends on the player now a days.
If player wants to go he will go.
17 May 2016 10:06:00
You seem to be contradicting yourself, you say you would be disappointed and it shows a lack of ambition then you say " but £10 million? " Which suggests a very good amount. If we had a £10million bid in summer I would sell him no question as he isn't worth half that yet and if invested correctly could enhance several areas. I don't expect him to leave this summer and hope we get several top seasons out of him before getting a big money move. I don't think there is a player in Scotland worth 5 million so to accept 10 million shouldn't be seen as lacking ambition rather common sense.
17 May 2016 10:22:14
It's not enough. I was laughed at on here saying 12m for Virgil was robbery. Doesn't matter who the opposition is, you can see when a player has class and huge potential. KT has both. 10m ain't enough. We can still get several good seasons out of him AND sell him for more than that the rate he's going. I'd be gutted.
17 May 2016 10:44:36
It's sad that the direction the club has chosen has us putting a price on players who have barely started out.
I am not naive enough to think players will commit their career to Celtic like in the past, but the board now see the pound signs far too soon instead of trying to secure our best prospects and protect the interests of a manager trying to build a half- decent side, or the supporters paying to see the best team available on the park.
17 May 2016 10:53:16
There's not a chance he'll be sold, not yet anyway. The new manager will be wanting to work with him and the board know that if we can get into the CL next season and Tierney hugely impresses there at his age and potential then we can almost name our price. Who knows we may even be able to break the £15M barrier. I fully expect him to sign the new 5 year contract offer he's going to get over the Summer on improved terms as he stated he wanted to do that '100%'. He'll be here at least a few more years imo.
17 May 2016 11:16:50
Passing time Your wrong to blame the board all the time imo. fans need to accept we play in a very poor league and any decent foreigner wouldn't want to stay in this league any longer than he has too particularly when it is a good stepping stone to the riches down south. The board will look to extend tierney and hopefully we get a couple of good seasons from him but a big offer should be considered as although tierney looks a great prospect you never know what might happen look at izzy for instance great player then breaks his ankle and has never been as good since. Also remember it was a fan not the board posting a question nothing more. Ps the board have many failing but not everything is their fault.
17 May 2016 11:58:29
See this constantly blaming board it puzzles me.
How many of the players that left wanted to stay and we're forced out?
Mathews asked to leave
Hooper asked to leave
Wanyama asked to leave
Van dijk asked to leave
Forster asked to leave.
17 May 2016 11:42:15
Look what Robertson at Hull is now worth, Tierney is better.
17 May 2016 12:26:51
As much as i scream for investment i would love 11 guys like Paul McStay. I hope Tierney is the first of many, Young lads coming through the system who have sat in the stands watching their hero's and are now living the dream. You make a good point about players wanting to leave Kev, The likes of Tierney etc can bring loyalty with ability and you can't buy that nowadays. Players like Henderson and Nesbitt now need to be looking to match what Tierney has done he has laid the marker for all youths at the club. if you are good enough you are old enough.
17 May 2016 12:28:18
Jim1972 is a poor league your excuse?
17 May 2016 12:35:22
Stan 19 Robertson went to hull and proved himself and his value soared the same thing has happened with Forster wanyama vvd it's just a fact our league is limited and we won't get the top price as it's still a gamble buying from Scotland but if you prove yourself against better opposition (not spfl) your value increases.
17 May 2016 12:53:24
Jim i would hope the success of Virgil etc has shown that it isn't a gamble, With all the cash these Clubs in England get they should be made to pay whatever we decide they are worth. There's players in Div 2 down there going for more than 10m. I don't know what Tierney is worth at the moment it is probably irrelevant as i can't see him going anywhere anytime soon. Plenty to learn yet. Tell you what Feruz must be worth a good 20m by now ;-)
17 May 2016 13:13:49
Stan19 the difference is that clubs down there make so much money from TV etc. that they can afford to knock back big offers for players and make the bigger clubs pay over the odds if they want their man. We don't have that luxury and therefore can't afford to play hardball to that extent. We could maybe say we want £12m instead of £10m but that's about it. So realistically a player's price isn't based solely on his ability but how much money his club can afford to knock back before selling. Sad but true.
17 May 2016 13:48:13
Ok dn what are you on about "is a poor league your excuse" for what?
17 May 2016 13:53:33
It is a sad way of doing things because at times it feels like we receive a bid for one of our players and it is accepted almost immediately. There never seems to be a hard bargain or wait until other clubs start a bidding war we take the money and run. It will be interesting to see what PL does when the first official bid comes in for Tierney.
{Ed007's Note - I don't agree with that, Stan. For all PL's faults there's no way he would let anyone leave without him making sure we were getting as much as possible for them and with sell on clauses etc involved you know the club has negotiated and negotiated hard.}
17 May 2016 14:19:19
For anyone to say PL doesn't get the best deal possible for a player leaving our club is nonsense
17 May 2016 14:22:26
Maybe one day i'll praise him Ed. I know myself he does plenty in that regard as he certainly did decent clause with the Southampton trio. He better have done the same with Ross Wallace or he will feel my wrath haha.
{Ed007's Note - I'm not sure anyone can be unhappy with the £ he has brought into the Club. My problem with him is his interference on the footballing side and the way he spends the little £ we have to spend.}
17 May 2016 14:52:40
We can only hope the new manager is strong enough to put a stop to it. We don't need a Romanov.
17 May 2016 14:54:18
I think we did really well to get over £30m for the Southampton trio. Obviously they're being touted for far more now but even back when both OF teams were full of international stars maybe 10 years ago you very rarely heard of any bids like that from down south.
17 May 2016 15:09:55
I think they will all move on to bigger clubs and Southampton have Virgil and Fraser tied up on long term deals so will demand big bucks. Not sure how long Vic has left on his contract.
{Ed007's Note - Wanyama's only got a year left on his deal and is stalling on signing a new one so don't be surprised to see him move this summer to maybe Chelsea (although interest has faded) and possibly Spurs looking at him. The interest from both Manchester clubs has ended.}
17 May 2016 15:54:49
Cheers Ed, I was at the Everton Southampton game about a month ago and Victor looked way of the pace. Don't know if he was carrying an injury but for most of the game it looked like he was happy to play just infront of the CB's.
{Ed007's Note - I think Wanyama fancied a move last summer and when nothing happened his head has went down as he had a very average season from what I seen of him.}
17 May 2016 01:54:31
I'd take Peter Houston think he would sort us right out. Downside European experience but for league and cups think he would waltz it. Always finds good players for small money and gets his teams playing to their strengths instead of imposing systems on players who aren't smart enough or able to implement them. Big money initially wanted Moyes but warming to DD think Keane would be a disaster waiting to happen. But time will soon tell. Whoever it is we all need to support and not let the MSM dictate our feelings for our team and manager. The new rhetoric will only kick onto overdrive now they have actually reached the big league for the first time. If they win the cup do you think they will have something sewn in their tops as it's their first big cup?
17 May 2016 10:07:57
Sorry but unless we are signing some young prospect for the development team then we should not be shopping in the Scottish championship.
Not for players. Not for managers.
17 May 2016 01:22:49
Good evening, Ed.
By chance, do you have any idea when the new away strip will be coming out? Thanks.
{Ed007's Note - I've no idea mate, sorry.}
17 May 2016 03:42:02
Thanks anyway. I'll just have to wait!
17 May 2016 12:05:14
Think I read something that should be released around the 7th July
Usually reliable with the 3rd kit the 3Rd August.
16 May 2016 23:55:45
Just a thought but now that Brighton missed out on promotion maybe we should give Chris Hughton a call regarding the managers job
He has had Brighton playing really well and I thought he done a good job at Newcastle.
17 May 2016 00:31:49
Hughton was one of my preferred choices. I think he's very underrated.
17 May 2016 01:04:23
He is certainly as good a choice as any of the other so -called favourites.
17 May 2016 04:41:11
Great shout Jonbhoy. I only haven't mentioned him because of the play-offs, and he'll feel like he still has a job on there.
Very underrated PP. Worst decision NUFC made since Bobby Robson getting rid of Hughton. That's what I always say anyway.
He gets a good organised unit at the back, and likes a possession-based high pressure attack, but it's pretty easy on the eye.
He is an incredibly thorough coach, and players I've spoken to say his man management skills are second to none, but he's not one to cross either. I've met CH twice and he's an absolute gent. Said it before on here with regards to Kayal I think. I'm not going to compare them directly, but CH is a similar sort of guy to Tommy Burns - always running around making sure everybody is happy and with a smile on their face.
17 May 2016 06:52:37
Chris Hughton would be an amazing appointment.

Fantastic Manager, disgraceful the way he was treated by Newcastle I don't think any of the players or fans understood the decision at the time. I think he is out if our reach i really can't see us trying to get anyone in who is currently employed elsewhere. Surprised the likes of Everton have not tried to get him, why go for untested foreign coaches when you have guys like this on your own doorstep.

I think Chris Hughton is a fair shout, he seems to have done s decent job wherever he's been, I'm always a bit surprised that he never seems to be considered for the bigger jobs, but I suppose he doesn't shout his mouth off in the press every day.

Ed any more info on your Brendan Rogers info . Is he still saying job is his if he wants it.
{Ed007's Note - {Ed007's Note - I'm a bit of a Keane fan but that doesn't mean I want him to get the job but if I had to guess I'd say it's between him and Rodgers. I think DD would love to see Keane come in as I can't reall see anyone else that we realistically can get.}
{Ed007's Note - Don't be putting money on anything on the strength of anything I say or Timalloy will get jealous! Seriously though Gordo, don't put money on anything because of what I said, or at least don't tell me. I will feel rotten if you said that then lost your money. We all know nothing's a cert till they're standing on the CP stairs with a scarf held over their head.}
{Ed007's Note - Before RD resigned the job Brendan Rodgers wanted is at Valencia but they have someone else in mind -and that someone else has another job in mind. Next up for Rodgers would be the England job it might be a few years too early for both parties but there is still a chance of that happening. Swansea were open to his return but that door has obviously closed. As I said at the time, Rodgers told someone (who could be seen as a candidate for the job too) that he was certain the CFC job was his and as far as I know nothing's changed their yet.
I would mention that we have contacted a club about the compensation involved in signing a player but as everybody knows CFC wouldn't possibly negotiate for a player while we don't have a manager so there's no point. It's not worth the hassle.}

Come on ed at least give us a clue as to who the player is? 😂.
{Ed001's Note - the club is Chelsea. Oh and Rodgers to Swansea was scuppered by Brendan's high wage demands.}
17 May 2016 04:42:38
Is it the boy from Fulham Ed?
{Ed001's Note - no.}
17 May 2016 05:34:52
Thanks Ed. Just looking at Chelsea players' contracts there. Puzzling.
{Ed001's Note - you might need to check their U21s, he is only a youngster, hence the compensation thing. I could just tell you his name but this is more fun!}
17 May 2016 05:46:18
Yeah, I am looking at youngsters! You tease.
{Ed001's Note - ;-)
17 May 2016 05:57:37
Given he was mooted a couple month back I'll go with Aina.
{Ed001's Note - that would be an excellent guess.}
17 May 2016 06:02:35
Good man. Thanks mate.
{Ed001's Note - welcome.}
17 May 2016 07:25:43
Why do we need another right back though we have janko and listing and ambrose can play that position too. Would rather spend our budget on getting a good solid ch and St in.
{Ed001's Note - he can play at centre back, as can Lustig.}
17 May 2016 08:07:03
I know everyone claims to know someone in the know but I was told at a meeting between lawell Rodgers and 2 others from Celtic board in London that Rodgers was very open from the start and told Celtic he wanted atleast £88g per week! Meeting lasted 40minutes and no job offer was discussed.
17 May 2016 08:33:44
Marco, the word is that Janko wants out, who I would have like to see get a run but eith injuries and not settling I can understand that not being the case.
Lustig has also expressed concerns about continuing at RB. Not sure we'd move him to CB if Simunovic gets fit alongside Sviatchenko, so he could be away too.

Just out of interest has anyone else put money on our next manger that had high odds just as a outside bet I've put £5 on mick mccarthy at 33 to 1 was going to put £50 on Rodgers after what ed007 said but I'm not 100% sure now after hearing certain people have said they know who it will be.

Lol ed I'm not putting that much now it's to hard to guess.
{Ed007's Note - Good.}
16 May 2016 19:04:15
Ed you seem to be in the know about celtic more than most, in your opinion who do you think we will get in?, i know your a keane fan but will they push the boat out and finance for a better quality gaffer, or do you see it as one of the usual suspects, warming to rodgers maself but can see us getting someone in the coyle category.

yeah that's what worries me Ed, if they knock us back were back in the bargain basement,
