Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.
01 Sep 2015 23:47:09
Thinks that's us for this window bhoys and ghirls think we will struggle big time this season in Europe but hey ho don't we always , and as for us not bringing in another striker just need to hope cifti turns it on when his suspension finishes .HH
01 Sep 2015 23:45:55
Sorry Ronnie I don't agree with us being stronger this window than before. To think we only have griffiths as our only forward going into Europe and a tougher league . With ronnies system he wants to play it needs a mobile strong forward. Griffiths isn't that, totally let down by the board /club again. We knew it would happen but each of us just had a hope in our hearts that the club would surprise us. They r already giving us the same bull saying we r ready to strengthen in the Xmas window and when that comes around they always say it's hard to bring in players at Xmas as teams won't let their best players leave . This is as bad as having Chris killen starting European games for us . Y let scepovic go if we had no backup . Even as I'm writing this I'm dreaming we could get berbatov . ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
02 Sep 2015 06:32:50
So we need a strong mobile forward for Ronnie's system, but your dreaming of berbatov???? Who is as strong as wet toilet paper and about as mobile as my grampa , who is dead ten years??? Another fan who doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
{Ed001's Note - to be fair, Berbatov is strong, he often uses his strength to shield the ball, hunched over protecting it from the opponent. Ok, so he is immobile, but he is not bad for a 40 a day smoker in his 30s who has never bothered doing any exercise.....}
02 Sep 2015 13:16:25
I have to disagree ed at the risk of being given a slap down , I watched him a few times playing for Monaco last year and he was easily knocked of the ball and easily dispossessed , I'm not saying I wouldn't like him at Celtic , just that the op is typical of the majority of the support, who at this present moment don't know what they want and when they do know what they want is not what we need.
{Ed001's Note - I think that is more laziness than weakness mate. He just doesn't put in enough effort. Plus he was probably distracted lighting a fag a lot of the time.}
02 Sep 2015 13:22:50
And he has signed for paok , so dream over .
01 Sep 2015 23:16:20
Unambitious amateur small thinking liars the best way to discribe how our beloved club are being run. rd keeps saying he wants to be stronger comming out of the transfer window. puppet!!
Im sorry if this ruffles a few feathers but until there's boycotts and people stand up to this board and DD. they are going to keep on running this club this way downgrading after downgrading while we keep turning up in blind faith,telling them we're ok with the what there doing with our club
Not turning up won't mean wer not supporting the team but a statement that if you take us for mugs and for granted and keep hurting us on the pitch. we'll hurt yous wer it hurts most. in you pockets
I no some people won't agree but so f@@k
Desperate times desperate methods
01 Sep 2015 23:25:47
Totally agree Belfast! well said buddy.
01 Sep 2015 23:32:47
Belfast Celt well said mate! Its getting beyond a joke
01 Sep 2015 23:38:10
Too late lads, I'm the only person that has been asking for the fans to stand up against the board. Until now I've been standing myself!
01 Sep 2015 23:52:05
I agree also. sack the board
02 Sep 2015 00:03:41
Sack the board no you've not! I've been asking as well
{Ed007's Note - Whereas I've been on here for years championing the fantastic work they do! Would you agree that the panty wetters are noted by their absence DN?}
02 Sep 2015 00:05:18
Its the only way they will take us serously from the credit crunch DD has lost all interest in GLASGOW CELTIC!
money is his love , not celtic
02 Sep 2015 00:35:37
Ed fully agree mate. It will be interesting to see the change of opinion of the panty wetters
{Ed007's Note - I heard some of them nearly dropped their hot dog when they seen the GB banner on Saturday.}
02 Sep 2015 01:01:38
Its something I will never understand with this faction. They are more concerned about the atmosphere GB sets at game rather than performance on pitch and running of club. X-factor has destroyed these farts
01 Sep 2015 22:18:09
Hi Ed
assuming the croat lad signs, the key will be looking at the 1st team squad and assessing each players qualities and then selecting the best eleven .and playing players in their rightful position
you won't agree, but if we could get GMS and Forrest on the same park with Armstrong supporting Griffiths and then have Brown/Biton, or Bitton Johansen, we have a decent 6. I would say Brown and Bitton but we need to give Armstrong a chance in the AM position meaning no Johanssen
at the back we could have the croat lad at centre half and (for me) Lustig, with Blackett and Janko at the back .meaning no more Boyata/Ambrose or Mulgrew at the heart of the defence
when you then look at Ciftci. allan.christie (post loan) .henderson .and any one of Johansen/Biton/Brown / Commons /Izzy etc keeping the pressure on the 1st team
the issue is an over reliance on griffiths at the moment.not complaining (injury free) and he will bang in 30 goals this season in my view
02 Sep 2015 08:59:08
Paradise we have decent players playing in wrong positions so Ronnie can play his 4-2-3-1. That's the facts of it. We are bursting with midfield players and gave 1 recognised striker in Grif with Cifti unproven. Scepovic could not be that bad a striker. It's again buying a player that does not suit the system yet Ronnie insists that he will only play that way. It's a joke.
01 Sep 2015 22:54:12
Story doing the rounds that Ronny Deila's jacket is on a shoogly peg , seems Dermot Desmond is furious that we didn't beat Malmo and qualify for the CL , a bit rich considering he didn't allow him to spend the money to get players to give us a chance , seems he could be gone by the weekend .
01 Sep 2015 23:15:19
Maybe Dermot should have spent some of his billions, makes you wonder why he is even there, if you don't invest how can you expect anything better EL, that's all we deserve, we're a far bit off champions league.
01 Sep 2015 23:17:30
Not a chance that will happen unless things get even worse Delia is there get out of jail free card
01 Sep 2015 23:38:54
Maybe Ronnie should have picked a team that had played together before
01 Sep 2015 23:39:36
Seems the bookies have stopped taking bets or giving odds on it happening!!
02 Sep 2015 09:02:39
Ronnie is here to Christmas. Know the players we signed are not great but he has signed 18 of them in a year? We all know we didn't need superstars to qualify for CL we needed a manager who has experience. Ronnie will be gone by January.
02 Sep 2015 11:18:15
If. what am I saying if, when, we get our arses kicked in the EL then he will be sacked.
He will carry the can for no investment or ambition.
He knows this too.
01 Sep 2015 22:16:37
Is that us done for this window? Who all thinks we have another signin in the pipeline?
{Ed007's Note - I think that'll be us but there's murmurings that work on a striker is ongoing but I wouldn't hold my breath.}
01 Sep 2015 21:44:11
Falkirk boy I think Celtic park will be near if not a sell out for the Ajax game and possibly the fenerbace game. I also think that your reasoning for not attending the games to support the team is contradictory to being a supporter. Basically your only supporting successful high flying Celtic and not the average celtic that we have at the minute. Only my Opinion but I thinks it's a poor show from you and the others like you.
01 Sep 2015 22:03:33
Well said pedro am fed up of these Celtic fans on here moaning instead of getting off there back side and support them
01 Sep 2015 22:05:40
Pedro Celt that's utter garbage mate! It's not about supporting the team! It's about not lining that prick Lawell and the rests pockets! We've been put out the champions league and lost our best player in the space of a week pal!! 11.5million for VVD and we spend 500 grand on a young boy to send him back to his club! Get a grip mate! This blind faith to just keep turning up regardless of the quality we're watchn is exactly what Lawell loves!! And there's not a hope in hell of any of the EL games being sold out! The fans are scunnered after the debacle in Malmo! And u would think to give us something to look forward to and buy EL tickets they would have spent the VVD money on a striker(who a blind man can see we need) and a centre half! So it's a poor show from you mate! Wake up and realise that the board are shafting all of us!!
01 Sep 2015 22:22:44
you must be on something.
01 Sep 2015 22:51:23
Like I says mate and before we go tit for tat here me personally I'm sick paying out £800 for season tickets and getting piss taking out off , like almost all Celtic fans I come from generations off Celtic fans so I've been through think and thin not just the good times so we can put that one to bed for a start , I'm just sick and tired of being used as a cash cow for the club , for feck sake man we sell Virgil for millions replace him with what!! Fail to make a deal for decent frontman it's even that bad with the penny pinching Celtic even have the cheek to drop thimd halftime windfall draw down to £10000 instead of the £12000 last season were a joke mate , but like you say that's ONLY MY OPINION , but fair play for saying your piece tfb
01 Sep 2015 22:52:11
Who must be on something green genie?
01 Sep 2015 23:17:02
We support the team year in year out and get ripped off by the club at every opportunity. It's all good having money in the bank but st prices aren't reducing but the football quality is dropping dramatically.
The club cut costs all over the place and doesn't spend the money it makes therefore making dd pockets thicker.
We all want Celtic to b a CL club but in order to do that they need to spend money and not penny pinch any further. It's a disgrace that PL gets paid more than almost every Celtic player and u can't bring in quality players for pennies so it's time the club hear the fans and stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes as everyone can see what's happening.
I still love the club and always will but the football is gash at present and I won't spend near a grand a year on going to watch football of the same standard I can watch at my local pitches.
01 Sep 2015 21:34:07
Ed is Michu a possibility tonight? Lot of Scottish reporters saying this may be hsppening
{Ed007's Note - So why don't you ask the people who are saying it?}
01 Sep 2015 22:16:55
Maybe because he thinks you are more in the know and respects your opinion more than these other people.
{Ed007's Note - If he's reading them then he's not respecting me, I've said for years not to take any notice of anything they say and people expect me to answer questions about stories they've made up?
It doesn't work like that, and I have better things to do with my time than worry about what some two-bit hack has said on social media to get him some attention.}
01 Sep 2015 22:20:26
I was asking you because you like to potray yourself as someone with an inside track.I think your opinion on liewell and park is similar to mine. However we differ in one trait Don't appreciate the comment and was uncalled for. My father taught me manners cost nothing.
{Ed007's Note - It's just a pity he forgot common sense and any sense of decency but I'd imagine having his work cut out teaching you anything.
And you can always appreciate the Scottish reporters you seem to fan over. Do you go and ask theses reporters if what I say is true?
My father taught me that if you have enough money you can get people to do anything you want, no matter how degrading it is - and he was spot on, you can't pay your bills with manners.}
01 Sep 2015 22:42:56
Sound a wee bit cheesed off Ed. Chin up, what we expect these days at CFC
{Ed007's Note - Just with stupid questions and questions that have already been dealt with if people checked.}
01 Sep 2015 21:20:07
Ed what's holding the jozo deal up it was like this when we sgined scepovic at the last minute
{Ed007's Note - Have some patience.}
01 Sep 2015 21:31:06
Looks like no more signings tonight
01 Sep 2015 22:48:46
Simunovic deal will definitely go through. It's all agreed between the clubs so just some personal issues I suppose maybe need finalising but it will happen.
01 Sep 2015 21:23:05
Ed I heard that the other night I got told that RD couid be sacked a friend of mine told me bout this is it true bout this?
{Ed007's Note - I don't know, I wasn't there so how do I know if it' true your friend told you it or not?}
01 Sep 2015 22:37:29
Bigtone very much doubt ( unfortunately) that RD will be sacked any time soon. PL would look very silly after appointing "a progressive young manager". His words not mine. If the Europa League goes really badly then he may not make the next CL qualifiers. If Rangers had still been in the SPL then Ronnie would not have had the opportunity to try and turn things around if they were ahead of us but as there is little competition Ronnie had had it easy but he won't be sacked this side of Christmas.
01 Sep 2015 22:48:04
This is the best post I've seen for a while.
On another note, Ed I have heard that I've been told by someone who was told something by someone that that there's definitely something happening. Do you know if that's true?
{Ed007's Note - Sounds like a goer, I'll get the coffee on :)
01 Sep 2015 23:35:26
Don't know about RD going but I believe the competition this year will be stronger and the league won't be the walkover some anticipate
01 Sep 2015 20:43:39
Ed is there a deadline for teams to sumit there team for europa lge?
{Ed007's Note - 23.00 UK time tonight (24:00 CET)
01 Sep 2015 21:51:30
Cheers
{Ed007's Note - No worries (yes)
01 Sep 2015 21:06:53
Just read that michu is still an option. Anyone else heard this?
I'm not too keen on him, isn't he a trouble maker? Plus a sicknote?
Think i'd rather just keep what we have
01 Sep 2015 21:03:29
Well just took that crystal ball and kicked it into the garden.
(Gordon and Boyata came for it but both missed it!)
No new signings up front leaves me genuinely raging at the board. What odds on Griffiths getting crocked in Georgia?
We need someone in surely even PL CAN SEE THAT!
01 Sep 2015 20:57:45
Well 3hrs to go I'm worried, we need this centre half as Ambrose or outgrew isn't Goni cut it. Would like to see a striker also but that doesn't look likely.
01 Sep 2015 20:08:28
I have a funny feeling that Ryan Christie will be our only signing today. Then big pistol Pete will come out and say the usual bull s$$t. Then we will all fall into line again. If we only sign Christie today something has to be done.
01 Sep 2015 20:36:14
Your right Marco , I've tried to never miss a home game inc all competitions for years but if this is all we go with until at least January , I won't be attending any Europa league games , I hate not going to support the team but I'm sick paying for 3 St and getting treated like a pr£ck , I will continue to support the hoops domestically and I only hope that with the poor attendances that will come in the Europa league and games being shown live that the board will be embarrassed and finally take night of us the fans , pig sick of a this usual crap mate
01 Sep 2015 21:33:48
I won't be renewing my season ticket till after the transfer window has closed neXT year as I want to see who we sign or sell before I pay my money I am sick of getting the piss took out of me
01 Sep 2015 19:39:07
Has stevie frail been moved on or stood down? Twitter gossip
01 Sep 2015 21:34:36
Think he left to look for other challange's in football
01 Sep 2015 19:38:55
I think it was a deliberate ploy by Man United they wanted to keep him and he wanted to go so to be seen to pacify DDG they agree to sell him and muck up the paperwork and blame everyone else. Convenient I'd say.
Ed do you know what the hold up is with this defender? I know the term is red tape but what is that exactly?
{Ed007's Note - There's a lot of paperwork involved in transfers it could be anything, perhaps his work visa.}
01 Sep 2015 20:18:40
Maybe oor Peter was conducting the deal!!
01 Sep 2015 19:38:21
Well anybody think we have had a successful window, lost our best player brought in a centre half to albeit early but looks like he will challenge efe for bombs are of the year, a loan off man utd, a centre mid off a scottish championship team loan them our best youth prospect (don't understand that), and have the Dundee utd front line who have not qualified played in Europe so why sign them to improve our European chances (don't understand that) so successful or just downsizing or can we not spot a player, I just don't understand, even people saying good luck to VVD we should be signing players to qualify and put a good showing in Europe and maybe players like VVD would want to stay.
That is a bit of a mishmash but need to get out so much frustration I don't know what to say or where to start, we need to know where we as a club are going is it all for show or are we serious about being a football club and not just a money making machine because the way the crowd is going down you would think the hierarchy would see what's Infront of them and start doing things for the fans they claim they care so much about.
01 Sep 2015 21:33:53
While I do think that the Celtic heirarchy often take our support for granted and at times fail to invest at key times (the season we lost league to Rangers because we did not sign Fletcher being a prime example). I think we need to accept that we are now a selling club and will cash in if anyone meets the valuation of our top players.
However, that is not necessarily a bad thing and if done correctly it can actually aid us as long as the revenue generated is properly invested. One only has to refer to Billy Beane of the Oakland A's to see how successful this approach can be. That being said, I do think we can improve on our player identification, as well as our player development. Personally I would like to see us identify the best young talent accross the globe and get them in early, assuming we can afford them. I also think we should be hiring top class coaches for our development and youth teams and would be happy to pay them top dollar as they can be worth their weight in gold if they turn potential into the finished article. To conclude, I don't think we are too far away and think we should continue with our current strategy.
01 Sep 2015 19:37:50
Really disappointed with the signings is an understatement! £11.5m for van dyke is good for lawwell, but not the football team, there's no investment in the squad, and I can't get my head around the signings of Allan and Christie, never get in our team, but in saying that, they probably will no bother, because we're that far back the way it's unreal to watch it all unfold In front of our eyes! And by the way, was it just me? Or did everybody have a red face on Saturday when Ronny done his roar?? Ooooooooooooofff I've not stopped getting a roasting in my work for him doing that, who's fooling who up there? We need answers, and we need them fast!
01 Sep 2015 18:54:56
This might sound daft ed but the English window is closed and west brom have an unhappy player why not ask for berahinho on loan I know he'll be on a fortune but if you don't ask you don't get
01 Sep 2015 20:21:33
I was thinking the same thing he said he will never play for wba again but I think wba will happily let him train with the youth team till jan
01 Sep 2015 18:45:30
Now that the window has closed in England it will give Celtic a few hours to get the DeGea deal over the line.
1 for u ed lol.
{Ed007's Note - What about that for a carry on? Can you imagine if that had been some wee diddy second division clubs making that kind of mess?}
01 Sep 2015 18:55:37
Good to see VVD leaving and not bad mouthing anything and everything positive nice change
01 Sep 2015 19:57:19
Celtic helped his career and put him in the shop window; I know he was probably our best defender, but he has still got a lot to learn, however he earned the club a huge profit.
Unfortunately, that is the way things are at Celtic these days, as we sell off our assets on deadline day and fail to replace with anyone half as good.
The next candidates may be Bitton, Armstrong or Rogic, but whoever it is the standard of replacement over the past 6 or 7 years has been getting worse and we are not finding 'gems' and soon we will have no big money sales and maybe still no CL?
01 Sep 2015 18:50:04
I think anyone who thinks we will sign anyone before deadline is naive. I don't even think we will see any loan signings either.
The boy Blackett is VVD replacement.
01 Sep 2015 18:39:12
I see Dimitar Berbatov is still a free agent. Would certainly like to see him in the Hoops! Class ect
01 Sep 2015 19:25:09
Think he is on way to Aston Villa mate
01 Sep 2015 18:01:47
That is lawell time to pick up the phone see what scraps are lying around
01 Sep 2015 19:14:13
I am a season ticket holder from pre McCann days. I handed over borrowed money to purchase shares in a stadium that had been levelled on three sides I am and will always be a Celtic fanatic but I'm almost at breaking point. Our club needs to stop taking advantage of our better nature and repay us with a striker that is not a project or a future saleable asset.
01 Sep 2015 20:30:14
SFD the issue for me is Ronnie. Give him any striker you want we don't get proper service to the striker. We don't have a clue. We are sending players backwards. Johanson, Brown, Izzie, Commons, Armstrong just a few. Wait till we see Brown for Scotland, different player. I look at the mob across the river who have spent naff all. They look like a team that are playing for each other and know what they are about. After every match and it is every match Romnie says we played at a high tempo until the last 30 minutes so we need to improve that. He says the same thing every game in the SPL. In Europe there are a variety of comments. He is out his depth. He will leave Celtic a better manager but we will be a worse club. I know Rangers are playing in a much poorer division and the SPL is a step up but we are not light years ahead of them and I know they have a better manager by a mile than we have. We have some decent players in our squad. Ronnie is not getting anywhere near the value we should be getting from them.
01 Sep 2015 17:29:01
Anyone know of anything before 12 tonight?
Really need a striker our new magnificent seven looks hopeless and as big a fan of griffiths as I am - we are just not good enough up top.
Praying for a striker.
01 Sep 2015 16:56:49
Hi Ed received a letter from ticket office informing me that my seat is unavailable for El games due to Uefa requirements.This is the first time as season ticket holder and a member of the home ticket scheme I have experienced this.Do you know why they are doing this my seat is in row z North stand lower,I have just arrived home so ticket office will be closed.appreciate any info thank you .killy.
{Ed007's Note - I can't help out you specifically buddy but I know my old ST in ES1 in the South Stand was moved during CL ties as it was in the UEFA VIP area.
Get an e-mail fired off right now and get on the blower tomorrow and give them hell mate, is it in the small print that you might be moved?
01 Sep 2015 17:30:31
I was moved before and it was due to advertising boards being bigger in ecl supposedly
They may just be looking to move you to free up a few seats weird that you are far up
Are you central as this could be a VIP seating area like ed said give them hell
01 Sep 2015 17:47:26
Thanks guys will phone first thing tomorrow,marco 10 I'm in line with 18yard line ,and have never lost my seat in the years as a season ticket holder.killy.
01 Sep 2015 18:16:28
The only thing I can think is they might use your seat as an extension from the heated seats for VIP can't imagine there would be segregation even with Ajax and fernabache fans Defo get onto them
01 Sep 2015 19:03:26
It's on the Celtic website on the ticket section . It's been on it since Friday explaining the different sections that are being given up for UEFA . They must be expecting decent turnouts as they never done it last year and that was with top section closed
01 Sep 2015 16:55:58
Virgil gone for £11.5m to Southampton , Scepovic gone to Getafe on loan and now young centre half Eoghan O'Connell sent out on loan to Oldham Athletic , that's 2 centre backs and a striker gone and no sign of their replacements , surely not another 2 minutes to 12 rush job again tonight!!
c'mon tae f*ck Peter get the business done!!
01 Sep 2015 16:54:28
Ed is there any chance of us bringing in a striker and if so any names you can throw our way?? Surely we need 1 with only Stokes griff and!
{Ed007's Note - Unless Stokes is moved out I'll be surprised if anyone comes in, I've no names but the rumour mill will go into over drive when the English window closes.
I can see there being a lot of unhappy CFC supporters around tonight.}
01 Sep 2015 18:41:39
Absolutely discustted by our boards lack of ambition ,same old crap year after year we will be shopping in league of Ireland next year wee pay our season ticket money and merchandise money year after year and get treated like mugs where does it end???
01 Sep 2015 18:39:18
Ed, do you think the board gives a f@ck about how the fans feel?.
{Ed007's Note - No.}
01 Sep 2015 16:41:49
Would love Celtic to put a cheeky loan bid in for Adebayor! Outstanding player on his day.
01 Sep 2015 17:01:13
fantastic player when his game is on, and fantastic piss attitude when it creeps up his hump, and that's more often than not.
do not want him any where near CP
01 Sep 2015 16:17:52
Just looked at my crystal ball. No more permanent signings but I expect loand deals for barker at man city and kramaric from Leicester. Surprisingly think stokes will still be here.
On another note Feruz back at hibs, remember how he disrespected the late TB. While I hope he helps his get the better of rangers I would like the opportunity to make my feelings known about him at Celtic Park.
01 Sep 2015 16:34:39
I would love to draw them in a cup game now that would be interesting
01 Sep 2015 16:45:12
Yeh I see it's a season long loan for him! Wouldn't hold my breath on him lasting the season there! Boys a total baw bag! Made my feelings perfectly clear on him! A boy who has achieved nothing in football who swaggers about as if he's played hundreds of games and won everything in the game! Got no time for the boy and hope this loan goes like the rest he's had!
01 Sep 2015 15:05:52
Got to say wish big virgil all the best.
But it's a bit depressing in reality were looking like a feeder team to Southampton. Every time we get a good talent Southampton pop in and buy him. Now becoming a bit of a fan of the Southampton just to see how "celtic" would have done in the epl if we had the mega bucks. What's the rest of your thoughts on this? Any solutions?
01 Sep 2015 15:53:44
I think we just have to accept that this is our business model now, it has to be given the lack of tv money in Scotland. Buy a player for a few million, develop them for a couple of seasons and then sell them for £10million+. We aren't the only big club who have to do it due to lack of finances domestically, Porto, Benfica, Ajax, PSV etc are all in the same boat. At least this time we aren't just reinvesting pennies and are actually spending a chunk of the VVD proceeds! I only wish we would add a couple of experienced heads to our team, we'd be much better off for it

It's quite sad that this is what these quality teams have succumbed to. The CL is a disgrace for UEFA to allow these multicorporate millionaires to flash their cash on a stage of 2nd,3rd and 4th place teams.
A professional nowadays no longer need a to look to play for national champion sides to compete in the CL. And why come to the likes of celtic, psv, ajax etc. when your making 30-120k to play in a league where if you come 4th you've got a shot at cl if you come 6th you've got the EL to fall back on.
Honestly bit scunnered with it all, think fifa and UEFA should do more to avoid the likes of sky ruining football.

One teams Southampton is another team's Dundee United!

LM67 you are dragged into the Ronnie bullshit. We have experienced players. Gordon, international keeper. Izzey capped 30 times, Mulgrew, Ambrose, Brown over 30 European games and 30 odd caps for Scotland. Commons, over 25 European games. Ronnie does not know what he needs. We keep buying boys in the hope they will come good and be worth millions but we have experience what we don't have is a manager with experiance

Not really linked to Celtic, but is the comparison of players using the football manager database not a complete farce on ssn? Was showing earlier how much better jose fonte is than van dijk. Like everything EPL related, anyone playing in England is made out to be the greatest player ever. Michael Johnson and Jack Collison were the best players on football manager last year. Where are they now?
To be fair, that wee Nigerian guy Celtic had a couple of seasons ago would be quality!
01 Sep 2015 15:47:37
Not sure how they work it out . Maybe they give players half marks because of the league we are in?
01 Sep 2015 17:23:24
I'm not sure either Tony but some of the comparisons I've seen are a total laugh. Michael hector who was on loan at Aberdeen will be 3 times as good as VVD now though as he's signed for Chelsea! Weirdest signing ever
01 Sep 2015 13:55:11
Fletcher or Michu?
id prefer Michu he can play forward role or amc we lack quality in both these areas
01 Sep 2015 12:56:04
I fully expect that once the English transfer window shuts at 6pm we will be scouring the leftovers and seeing what there is available that we can bring in on loan to bolster the striking department.
01 Sep 2015 13:23:59
If I can borrow your 'sensible' tag; I suppose it's a slight advantage having those 6 extra hours to have a look?
There will be clubs and players eager to do last minute deals and we have to be more diligent than desperate.
I have been avoiding SLY on deadline day - as they only cover their beloved premier league and I absolutely hate the sight and sound of that fanny Jim Whyte.
01 Sep 2015 13:58:25
The whole ssn coverage of deadline day is a disgrace. It's a total farce. I put it on every hour or so to see any updates but there's folk who take the day off work to watch that muck! If Christie, Simunovic and a striker are confirmed by the close of play I'll be content.
01 Sep 2015 14:00:31
I fully expect us not to sign a striker at all! This pish about Michu fletcher kramaric! No chance! We should have had a striker in before now! This leaves us with griffiths as the only one who scores bloody goals! If he gets injured and is out for any length of time then we're srewed! Can never a remember a time when our attacks been as weak as it's been these past 2 seasons! What u think ED,u think we're looking at any strikers let alone actually sign one! I have my doubts mate
{Ed007's Note - I'm expecting us to scour the dregs in England when their window closes at 6 and probably get a couple of loan signings in.}
01 Sep 2015 14:15:20
Any guesses as to who Ed? I'd say Brandon Barker from City looks a decent bet
{Ed007's Note - I mentioned him last week but I think CL failure might have put an end to that.}
01 Sep 2015 14:57:26
Can we afford dregs?
My, things are looking up. :)
01 Sep 2015 15:43:24
We can't blame the ssn coverage of Transfer Deadline day , if folk are stupid enough to take time off work and sit glued to it all day.
The Transfer Day Coverage , mightn't be professionally done but many football fans cannot take their eyes off the screen .
01 Sep 2015 12:06:35
Ed just woke up on nightshift had 3 hours sleep start another 12 hour shift today and hoped when a woke up a would come on see who we signed can't believe nobody in yet most worrying still no news about stricker wtf going on mate a can see it already tried our best wirh a few late deals
{Ed007's Note - I'm not looking forward to anything to today, I am hoping I'm wrong but it doesn't look like there will be anything done to give the fans a boost.
And to think of all the people gullible enough to sit watching Sly Spurts Betting Odds & News all day.
01 Sep 2015 12:39:47
Back to sleep until 4 pm # disappointed cheers ed
{Ed007's Note - Disappointed doesn't even cover it for me mate. Thankfully I'm busy elsewhere for a couple of hours this afternoon so I'll miss out on Sly's manipulated bare faced lying betting broadcasts.}

After the nightmare in Malmo last Tuesday I honestly expected us to sell van Dijk for £8million and bring in a centre back on loan to replace him, and no other moves. So to get £11.5million for him, spend a bigger chunk than any of us expected in replacing him, finally getting in some competition for Izzy (albeit on loan) and snapping up a young Scot with decent potential is actually a decent return. I'd like another striker too, but our biggest problem is keeping them out at the other end so at least that has been addressed, albeit 2 weeks too late!
01 Sep 2015 09:20:14
The LB Halstenberg from St. Pauli signed for Red Bull Leipzig yesterday
01 Sep 2015 09:13:23
Watched re run of st jonstone on celtic tv and think rogic could do a job at cf . he was taking up some great positions and moving into good space he looked really aware of the play and players around him not to mention scoring a good goal . wouldn't hurt to try?
01 Sep 2015 13:28:03
It's been hard to find any good news - between Malmo, our pathetic transfer 'policy' and lack of real quality signings. However, the return of Rogic has been very encouraging and I really hope he establishes himself (and is not rushed or pushed too much like other youngsters). He looks impressive.
01 Sep 2015 15:45:55
If I were to moan , I would complain that over the years we have been too slow developing and bringing our young players into the first team .
01 Sep 2015 07:00:31
I see McDonald Mariga (Victor Wanyama's brother) is currently a free agent following the financial collapse of Parma , might be worth a look!!
01 Sep 2015 08:26:46
Because he is Wanyammas brother or because he can play football?
01 Sep 2015 08:39:30
What position does he play?
01 Sep 2015 09:40:42
Because he can play a bit , he is a similar type to Victor he cost Inter Milan £7.5m a couple of years back .
01 Sep 2015 10:28:16
The last thing we need is another centre mid.
01 Sep 2015 10:33:51
I think we have enough midfielders don't you?
01 Sep 2015 11:58:13
I don't know about wanyamas brother but do u people not understand the system we play needs 2 holding MF it's not like commons can fill in we could do with another holding MF player but not as much as a CF and CB!
01 Sep 2015 12:32:05
Just thought a player of his calibre on a free must be worth a look at least .
{Ed007's Note - I'm not 100% sure he is on free, I thought Swansea were looking for a fee and Michu isn't looking to take much of a drop on his wages. That could all change as the day goes and both clubs, players and agents get more and more desperate.}
01 Sep 2015 12:52:10
Johansen will fill in there even though he's shite in that position and loses the ball constantly makes perfect sense
01 Sep 2015 15:47:08
We could sign another central midfielder but it wouldn't be a priority for us.
01 Sep 2015 05:59:51
hi Ed, celtic should go for Adama Diomande plays for stabaek scored 23 goals 25 games from the start of Norwegian season.played for Ronny Deila for stromsgodset 2012-2013 scored 8 each season but looks the real deal this season.He is 25 years old 1 Norway cap.Not sure price range but he,s like a thin Tony Yeboah . pace cheers
01 Sep 2015 01:12:52
Anyone got the skinny on big Virgil's proposed move? Did it go through?
