Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.
20 Aug 2018 22:53:24
I am slightly worried about our signing policy atm. Rodgers says he only wants to add real quality so does this rule us out of getting the next virgil or wanyama. Projects where we don't know if they are real quality but we need to develop them? I feel as if our scouts have found x ammount of players but we are not pushing the button on a lot of them, just a thought.
20 Aug 2018 22:20:25
Well lads, 10 days to go in what as we all know has been a shocking window so far. Very little rumours emerging at the minute, I’m personally worried that we won’t be signing anyone of substance . Maybe a loan, the way it looks at the minute is we will be going into the sevco game with the same centre backs as unless we sign someone like Bruma I doubt Brendan would blood them straight in . As we all know we can’t keep a clean sheet, which will probably mean we need to score at least two against the people . Please Celtic, lift our spirits and give us two decent signings to close of the window to freshen us up 🙏.
21 Aug 2018 00:17:53
If your fear is Rangers2012, then I worry for you. A collection of 11 or twelve new first team players at any club never augers well when they come up any sort of decent team . Add in a man managing a club for the first time, surely to God we will beat that lot . With Ager and Jozo and Hendry our choices for 2 centre back positions I would worry more against other mid table SPL teams.
21 Aug 2018 06:14:01
As much as I hate to say it Chris, I think the challenge from sevco is a real one this year. And recently we look like a side that is not confident for whatever reason and we would be naive to write them off. Gerrard has them much stronger defensively this year so I can see them being a lot more consistent in picking up points, where as last season we dropped quite a few needless points. In saying that I still believe we are the better team but my point is a couple of good signings could lift the whole club.
21 Aug 2018 08:36:43
We can't go into any season thinking it's going to be easy. It's that mindset at Board level that has seen us stall rather than strengthen. I hope every player we have has the attitude that they need to go onto that park and give it their all to get a result, no matter who the opposition is. Peformances against Hearts, Partick etc etc simply not good enough so i hope to god our players don't think it's going to be easy.
21 Aug 2018 08:50:44
Old Man Chris i think we have all done there is no threat from Sevco to death. It is quite obvious to all that they are a threat. They remain unbeaten in 10 games which breeds confidence. We really lack confidence right now. We have better players but they have the momentum right now. There is not a lot between us as we stand here today, but we need to freshen it up, everyone of us knows that. Its going to be close on 2nd September, its not going to be a 5-0 Celtic win.
21 Aug 2018 10:06:26
Sorry but I disagree. At one stage last season Pedro had the persons playing so well they were cheering in the dressing room after drawing us in the cup and we all know how that panned out. Yes they are playing ok but we are so far better and when faced with that particular challenge we shall rise and once again show Glasgow is green and white. It can't come soon enough for me. HH 3 to go till 10 in a row.
21 Aug 2018 10:15:50
Everyone says we are “so far ahead” and “we won’t be caught”. Look at the real picture here and tell me why we won’t be caught? No new players, the strongest position we’ve ever been in as a club. No “real quality” that is always being quoted being added. Slowly declining as we have shown. Everyone can say “there’s 2 weeks left in the window, there’s 10 days left in the window” etc. So what, at the end of it we brought in French Eddy, a Dundee keeper and an injured Scott McKenna whose not good enough when fit. Where the heck is our money, we all pay thousands of pounds a year following celtic and we can’t even give the fans some players to shout about or even improve the squad. Pathetic.
21 Aug 2018 10:44:51
Potentially an injured Scott McKenna*.
21 Aug 2018 16:51:25
I really hopeim wrong but i don't think wel even signanyone, and im so sick of the dissapointment yr after yr, itsthe same, we went for this one or thst one but wejust couldn't get the deal over the line? Every season is the same. Il be praying 🙏 over the next ten days for some good news, but we've been here before and I'm not at all confident we'll get anyone of note. Hail hail.
21 Aug 2018 18:23:22
I never thought normal sensible Celtic fans could post such nonsense .
Rangers2012 have compiled another new team from a crowd of nobodies . They play the most basic style of defensive football of the 1970's .
It is impossible to judge their centre defenders for example because when an opposing team puts the ball into their area there are at least 5 defensive minded players there to hoof the ball up the park . No matter how small a club they play the wee club with the weaker team play all the football.
20 Aug 2018 21:55:19
Guys I keep hearing artificial surfaces cause injury.
But so does grass.
Tynecastle has grass and Berra is out for the season.
I will say I prefer grass but many leagues do use it. Places like Russian and so forth.
20 Aug 2018 22:15:02
Used by thousands of people on a weekly basis in scotland alone. Let the people who enjoy them use them. The people who don't like them stay at home don't use them. Problem solved. Serial moaners in this country!
20 Aug 2018 22:19:30
Aye Kev and how long have they been playing on them over 15 years? didn't hear anyone moaning about the surface at Spartak when Hartley scored that peach of a header.
20 Aug 2018 22:15:02
Used by thousands of people on a weekly basis in scotland alone. Let the people who enjoy them use them. The people who don't like them stay at home don't use them. Problem solved. Serial moaners in this country!
20 Aug 2018 22:32:56
It's the lack of a too standard that's issue. Plus Scottish teams no watering them correctly before celtic play. That will cause injurys. Think killie said water was broking when they beat us. If watered correctly like most leagues that use them demand then injurys and playing conditions will be substantially better.
20 Aug 2018 23:14:16
You're correct Madyin, if they type of pitches are heavily watered then there's not a problem with them. Seems to be when we come calling they don't see a bit of water and they become similar to trying to play on a piece of tacky rubber. There should be a ruling that refs should make sure pitch is heavily watered at start and half time to ensure safety to players.
20 Aug 2018 23:33:35
Mally to be honest how often do you hear of a serious injury on one of them?
Over the years we hear of loads of major injuries when studs catch in turf.
21 Aug 2018 00:25:30
Madyin and Stevie are right it's the preparation or lack of watering that makes the modern artifical pitch so dangerous .
In the good old days the head Groundsman and ( his staff if had any ) took great pride on getting the pitch as good as possible . Sometimes in wet weather the pitch looked like a ploughed field at the end of match . However ground staff did their best and wouldn't have left grass so long that ball could hardly run along the ground and be dangerous.
21 Aug 2018 06:01:59
Out of curiosity I wonder what type of stud most pros use on the Astro
The modern bladed stud that is common on most hard ground boot should never be worn on Astro as it restricts movement and often sticks in the ground this is the most common cause. Most boots now come with a small stud that has been developed for ag.
21 Aug 2018 08:51:16
Good point that Markom, each player definitely has to wear different boots to suit each surface. On 2G i wear Puma moudies which have 13 very small studs on each boot. I've seen some people use the traditional old boots with 6 longer screw in studs. personic really. As i said sometimes injuries are down to the person not the surface.
21 Aug 2018 15:15:20
Am sure professional teams will know this lads, most players will have boot deals anyway and their sponsors will most likely supply the right boots for each surface. I would say a pro puts much more effort than us fatties on a Wednesday nite and that would most likely be the cause of more frequent injuries. Speaking for myself when I play 5's it's always in the back of my mind that if I get injured it means no wages. Just ma 2 pennies worth.
21 Aug 2018 18:27:45
Of course it isn't just the increased risk of injury that makes artifical pitches unpopular by most players and teams, it is the irregular run of the ball and different bounce coming off surface . It's a great leveller.
21 Aug 2018 20:23:36
Looking at a pic of him on a stretcher it looks like a bladed sole Nike mercurials firm ground
Not recommended for 4g wonder what they will say to that.
20 Aug 2018 20:59:07
Whoever we sign, I only hope we get a player or two with a bit of presence and dig as well as ability. If and when we meet power and aggression we are really light -weight in midfield and defense and although Sinclair, Forrest, Rogic, McGregor etc have plenty skill - when allowed to play they are easily outmuscled and weak in the tackle, Not looking to change our philosophy, just need a bit more protection and ball winning as Broony can't do it on his own and he's not getting any younger.
21 Aug 2018 00:27:08
Player with a bit of dig won't get using that ability at Celtic, as refs will have him carded every time.
21 Aug 2018 10:54:29
The biggest Achilles heel for Sevco is always overhype and them and their lacky’s thinking they are world beaters. They aren’t, but let’s not kid ourselves on they aren’t better than the rubbish they were last year. They are better defensively, their midfield has been improved too. Morelos is scoringvandcwe know Lafferty can score against us. We need to be prepared for the increased threat but not be scared of it.
We are better than them, if we sort the defence then we are much better.
My motto is never underestimate your enemies. Never think because you beat them before you will again. You need to be prepared to up the ante. Now so far we haven’t and that has given them increased hope which is a big mistake.
Sort the defence and we will win, maybe not 5.0 probably only 4.0. But don’t delude oursrlves they aren’t more of s threat. Hearts bullied us and beat us. They will try to do the same, because they are better than Hearts
Their overconfidence will be their biggest weakness. It always is.
20 Aug 2018 20:15:28
Hello Ed have you heard anything of potential new signings? Im worried about the lack of noise coming from us. If we don't sign any defenders we are in trouble. Hopefully this Boyata issue is put to bed soon and we get cash for him and put it back in the team.
{Ed007's Note - I haven't heard anything mate, it's been brutal trying to find out anything this summer.}
20 Aug 2018 21:18:03
Nothing to hear here . move along
HH.
20 Aug 2018 21:27:29
It looks like there’s probably been nothing to find out tbf Ed.
{Ed007's Note - There's not even anything about players being watched or clubs/agents being contacted. I did ask Ed002 about Bruma and the answer was:-
"Jeffrey Bruma is available and Crystal Palace and Frankfurt looked at him but nothing happened. Rodgers knows the player well so might be interested."
20 Aug 2018 22:12:51
I remember you saying a lot of the inside info had dried up since BR came in, which I suppose is a good thing. I think Bruma is the template of what we should be looking for - physically imposing and no nonsense defending style - but unfortunately guys like him cost good money. I’d have said McKenna was worth going for if we didn’t have Hendry and Ajer already but not now.
{Ed007's Note - Bruma would be a fantastic signing but I can't see there being anything in it. I used to say that Hendry and McKenna were about the same level but - and I hate slagging off young players that are at least giving 100% - I'd maybe offer Hendry in a deal for McKenna. It's a shame to say it but I don't see Hendry ever being accepted by a lot of fans now no matter how he progresses, every single mistake or slack pass is going to be magnified and see the lad crucified.}
20 Aug 2018 22:13:25
Fingers crossed on Bruma then boys!
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Chirivella come in, seems strange for him to pull the plug on his Rosenborg deal, we missed out on McGinn, another play Rodgers knows so logically all makes sense.
Never seen him play but he’s got a fancy name, the fans will be buzzing.
21 Aug 2018 00:35:34
Ed007
You are right, it looks like we have lost Hendry, he can't be enjoying his football and certainly isn't benefitting from playing at home . If fans tried to encourage him and build up his confidence we might have a footballer .
Fans destroyed Ambrose and took all hid confidence
Fans gave Boyata a hard time for long enough, although they eased up as he played better in the 2nd half of last season, the fans may have made up his mind to leave now.
21 Aug 2018 10:58:35
It’s been murder to get news about transfers this summer because there haven’t feckin been any. Getting news on things that haven’t happened is impossible. Maybe the next week will change that. My feeling is it will be the usual last day scramble hoping for a cut price deal as is the way of our board.
20 Aug 2018 19:33:33
Was just reading about the Livingston goalie, Liam Kelly, he says the new artificial surface at Livingston, because it's new, is throwing up loads of little rubber pellets, he says "It gets in your eyes, it gets in your ears and goes up your nose. It gets everywhere."
Surely that is a health hazards, there was that story from a while back about the older artificial surfaces, throwing up carcinogens. if Livingston's new surface is throwing up pellets small enough to get up your nose, it could be also throwing up smaller particles, that you might be breathing in, am not in favour of artificial surfaces.
20 Aug 2018 19:48:27
I've been playing on a 2G surface on a weekly basis for years. 2G level is probably 2 levels below the standard these guys or anyone else in Scotland are playing on and i have never once seen someone injured on it. It also has the pellets and if players are honestly complaining about that they should give up football and go do knitting for godsake. Not saying these pitches should be anywhere near Scotlands top league but i think they get blamed for injuries unfairly. As i said i have never seen anyone injured on them and see that Jozo i'd tell him to man up and play on these surfaces or gtf. Picking and choosing what surfaces to play on he's a young lad! imagine saying to Jock stein i'm no playing the day boss i don't like the surface. don't recall anyone moaning years ago when they were playing on concrete or red clay 😂 absolute wimps these days and too pampered. I do want every pitch in Scotland to be grass just making the point that sometimes its the person not the surface.
20 Aug 2018 20:14:59
All the Astro pitches at Celtic training ground in Lennoxtown do the same mate.
20 Aug 2018 20:28:58
Stan petrov 19
Worse post I've seen on here. These are professional athletes playing on plastic pitches, and you are comparing them to you and your mates playing 5s a couple of times a week.
20 Aug 2018 20:56:01
Hip hip horay happyhoppy great observation can i get a medal for that? Nothing to do with what standard of player i am comparing surfaces actually. Poor little athletes having to play on 5G that must be so difficult 😂.
20 Aug 2018 21:13:08
Artificial surfaces have no place in football non stop whether it be 1G,2G or Honey G.
20 Aug 2018 21:22:48
Where did i mention playing 5s, playing with mates, or playing a couple of times a week. Talk about making things up to suit.
20 Aug 2018 21:38:32
The fact is though Ice Man they are everywhere. Unless clubs get together and demand they should not be in the top flight then nothing will change.
How many are at Lennoxtown?
20 Aug 2018 21:52:40
I've always preferred to play on grass but don't thing artificial surface causes injury
Tynecastle has grass but Berra in out for the season after his studs caught and he landed awkwardly
Should we complain about grass as well?
20 Aug 2018 21:54:25
The killie one is brutal shouldn't be allowed av played on it terrible surface.
20 Aug 2018 21:58:47
If uv never seen an injury in all the years uv played it must be walking football 😂.
20 Aug 2018 22:00:37
If you honestly don’t think these pitches are causing injuries you are deluded. My son of 8 has started training on one and it coinsided with him getting constant shin splints. They’re a disgrace. I can’t remember the last time I watched an entertaining game on them either.
20 Aug 2018 22:01:11
Infact who gives a toss about artificial surfaces when a last min goal gets the coupon up. Mane is the man! 😆.
20 Aug 2018 22:07:53
Deluded because i play on them and have never been injured very good! Infact woman play hockey on the one next to us yet to see any of them injured or complain, and i do like to watch 😂 Steph maybe im no even walking. Stationary ogling 😂
Thats a good point Kev.
20 Aug 2018 22:24:50
Celtics first team never train on them they're more for the youth teams. Wonder why.
20 Aug 2018 22:34:05
Not enough grass to go around Mally.
21 Aug 2018 05:58:02
Mally I beg to differ mate. Indoors is Astro as well as always prefer grass.
21 Aug 2018 16:06:27
If there's not enough grass to go around that'll be down to green jhedi.
20 Aug 2018 18:37:53
Right on cue, Fraser Wishart, supposed "impartial" SPFA union head calls for banning all plastic pitches after one of his team's players gets injured on one. oh dear.
20 Aug 2018 20:34:56
And so he should tim its an embarrassment our top flight has these pitches.
Have u ever seen a good game on them cos i havent.
20 Aug 2018 21:01:16
And to be fair killies is the worst of them all, sometimes there's that many rubber pellets you would think the pitch was black.
20 Aug 2018 21:20:38
Plastic pitches shouldn't be allowed in SPFL. No wonder the lot down here in England call it a pub league it's embarrassing seeing a game on the tele with a plastic pitch just makes it look on par with the Irish league.
20 Aug 2018 12:43:35
Anyone understand why the board is not backing a manager who has 2x a treble going for 3x3 and having to cut costs everywhere. I would like to see a few leave personally:
Marvin Compper
Nir Bitton
Kouassi Eboue
Jonny Hayes (Out on Loan)
Dorus de Vries
If we do why we can't go for the follow:
QPR Grant Hall about 1-2m
Swansea Mike van der Hoorn 2.5m
No Club Jack Rodwell
Some one else worth a shout Samir Nasri
These are a few that could be picked up not smashing the bank in the process. Really we need better!
20 Aug 2018 13:01:18
You've named four players the manager was 'backed' in signing to get rid of. Confusing.
20 Aug 2018 13:12:50
Every player on the outlist is better than the ins
No thanks - scrapping the barrel with them players.
20 Aug 2018 16:57:48
You’re on drugs mate. Jack Rodwell is a complete twit and the worst player in the history of football to ever earn almost 80 grand a week for doing nothing. So says the Mackem mrs. And she’s right.
20 Aug 2018 17:51:30
Grant Hall and Rodwell 😂 you on the glue? Rodwell would immediately be the worst centre mid we would have at the club. If you’re thinking for attacking mid Rogic is far better on the ball and Calmac is a far better runner. I’d also be inclined to say that a 50 year old Regi Blinker has better legs than Rodwell.
20 Aug 2018 12:08:47
So BR being at Citeh seems to have gotten the media's attention. He might hust have been watching a game of football/ picking up tips. However I don't think it would be a surprise if he was talking to Pep or club officials or indeed if we signed another player (s) from them. So who would people like to see? I think Foden would make the most sense to fill that John McGinn shaped gap. Would love Diaz too.
20 Aug 2018 12:31:42
I think it will be Douglas the Brazilian City can't get a work permit for him. I think he will be coming on loan. Just my opinion no facts or anything.
20 Aug 2018 12:36:18
I’d take an injured De Bruyne ha ha.
20 Aug 2018 13:40:46
Wouldn't we struggle to get a work permit for Douglas as well?
20 Aug 2018 13:49:20
Does he have a Scottish granny.
20 Aug 2018 13:51:42
Kev Rangers got work permits for the dross they brought in last year.
20 Aug 2018 15:00:39
I think it's easier here to get a work permit mate.
20 Aug 2018 17:14:51
Really? I'd have thought it was same all over UK.
Well could happen then.
20 Aug 2018 19:41:00
How is it easier here? Surely a work permit is a uk issue not a football issue?
20 Aug 2018 22:24:09
Adarabioyo, Diaz, Foden or particularly Garcia but those are wishful thinking and I think Garcia has gone out on loan already.
20 Aug 2018 12:00:45
What team would people play on thursday? i'd give my opinionion but wouldn't have enough letter space lol :/.
20 Aug 2018 12:19:48
@Brendan the team I would play on Thursday would be Sudova
I'll get my coat lol.
20 Aug 2018 12:37:56
We’re keeping your coat.
20 Aug 2018 21:35:49
Your no getting your coat without a ticket. pal.
20 Aug 2018 11:38:20
So what's the craic with the Bruma rumour? Nonsense or has it got some truth in it? Surely going to add a player or 2 within the next week or so.
20 Aug 2018 11:48:51
As long as it’s not John Terry!
20 Aug 2018 09:27:41
Just a general comment.
I'm disappointed that so many fans seem to be talking the side of the media about our transfer inactivity. All of a sudden some of our so-called fans are saying we are in meltdown, the manager's leaving, the Board are angry with everyone and each other, the fans have been shafted etc. etc.
Fair enough, we missed out on CL qualification. In all fairness though we did well to qualify for the last 2 seasons so we were never automatically entitled to be there this year. A bit of further investment may have made the difference, I can't argue with that, but for goodness sake guys please chill out and calm down. Stop reading the papers that we already know want to see us fail. And if you can't do that then at least keep their pish to yourself. Some/ most of us have no interest in negativity. HH.
20 Aug 2018 09:52:22
Whose reading the papers to get angry? Nobody gives a rubbish what they say. We are angry because we have a brain in our heads and we know what it’s cost us. Feck sake, you think people who aren’t morons care what the Sevco press say? You are so out of touch with reality it’s frightening mate.
We know what happened, what it cost us and we don’t need some Sevco hack to tell us. They love it, it’s a gift to them. From Celtic to Sevco. Did you listen to Mc Couist. Delighted as they all are we have stood still. Just because they agree with us doesn’t make it not a real thing.
Nothing to do with the press and everything to do with the board and our lack of balls.
20 Aug 2018 10:12:49
Bob let’s not get into the old so called fans pish eh! It’s bugger all to do with the media that we’ve had a poor transfer window or that we went out the CL! we all know the media want us to fail mate, but I don’t need these clowns to tell me we’ve had a terrible few weeks! Mcginn boyata the CL exit, it’s been awful! And it’s not being negative stating facts, and the facts are we’ve stood still in this window and payed for it! Our manager has came out and said he’s not happy with our transfer dealings, is that the media’s fault? your not less of a fan for opening your mouth about our boards incompetence mate, in fact it’s quite the opposite IMO!
20 Aug 2018 10:22:58
Correct MagicPole.
There is a difference between negativity and constructive criticism.
I like this site because we get a lot of intelligent conversation and not the " A don't gei a sh**e whit that lot dae - Celtic 'till I die" Usually followed by a bunch of profanity and paramilitary support comments.
A lot of the "negativity" on here is based on recognised weaknesses in the team and the frustration as to why we do not seem to be doing anything about them.
20 Aug 2018 10:40:39
It's the same forum members who spout shyte EVERY transfer window. Always the same. Never changes. They're usually the same folk who will find a cloud in every silver lining.
The bottom line is that our club has a transfer policy in place and whilst we might not always agree with it (most of us aren't too impressed this summer) that's the way it is. If anyone is unhappy with our club then maybe they should find a new team to support. The Sevvies are always looking for fans and they're rather cock-a-hoop at the moment with their transfer activity. No need for personal attacks guys, that behaviour says more about you than it does about me. HH.
20 Aug 2018 11:10:06
Personal attacks! your the one that’s came on and had a go pal! Then just said people have to go and support someone else if they don’t just sit and be quiet! Saying people are spouting shoite and pish! What because we don’t agree with u? Away and gies peace! Utter nonsense!
20 Aug 2018 11:15:36
What a pathetic response. So you are saying if we aren’t happy with how our team are run we should support Rangers? Have a word with yourself if you can tear yourself away from happy clapping.
Shameful comment to make. But from self appointed superfans the norm. It was people with your outlook that allowed the Kelly/ Grant mob stay in power for so long.
We are Celtic, not the board, not the manager, or even the players. When those charged with running out ckub make a total arse of it they need hauled over the coals. The keep the faith rubbish us just that. Bury our heads, don’t tell the truth, take their incompetence and say feck all. That’s not a Celtic fan, that’s a forelock tugging lackey approach.
Not calling them out is anti Celtic. Do you suggest no matter how much they feck up we just let it go? They are paid good money to guide our club. If they make a balls up of that then it is our duty to call them out or they will carry on until we are truly fecked.
We should have been out of site, but yet again, we stalked and met them back in the game. That’s shameful management and if you can’t see that then I pity your failure to see what’s happening.
Telling Celtic men to support the sevcobians is utterly out of order. Who thevreck are you to question our love for our club? Behave yersel.
20 Aug 2018 11:25:35
Magicpole, I'd have thought with your superior intellect you would have spotted the flippancy of my comment about Celtic fans supporting Sevco. There should be no need for anyone to even reply to that particular part of my comment, common sense (if present) should stop that from happening. No matter, never mind, move on. HH.
20 Aug 2018 11:37:06
Bob that’s the worst thing you can say. Ok if you meant it as s joke then fine. Make it clearer though. We all want the best for our team. That means accountability from those charged with steering us. They have let every Celtic fan down. That’s not acceptable. Saying that, is not.
20 Aug 2018 11:47:58
How about the middle way eh? We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and I’d be surprised if window closes with just McKenna and an underwhelming loan. I don’t know what will transpire but I know we won’t have long to find out. The lack of spark in our midfield suggests we are crying out for Christie to be given a chance and while the boy Arzani is a pig in a poke for me, Morgan is likely to also be another option. Main priorities for me remain RB and CB or as others have said 2 CBS if we hopefully get Boyata out the door. The talk of replacing SA is overstated for me as I thought he was hardly a key influence last year. As for tit for tat insults, I love a fair bit of debate but let’s keep it friendly Bhoys Hail Hail.

Davie, speaking of McKenna, I think he'd be a very good signing. He's a young lad but he's hard as nails and I think that toughness in defence is something we are missing. I know he doesn't have an exotic sounding name (maybe he could be renamed Scotti McKennolini to satisfy the name snobs) but he's a strong competitor. I for one would not be disappointed if we signed him. HH, ALWAYS HH.

I think I'm perfectly correct in the comment I made. Do you think my comment was inaccurate? I certainly wasn't having a go at anyone, I simply stated that we should be behind our club and stop falling apart at the seams with what the daily rags are writing.
Unfortunately too many people appear to believe what is being written even if they say they don't. If you're not one of them then move along. Why the anger in your reply Lh86? Do you think it's necessary? HH.

It’s not the fans that have fallen apart at the seams. It’s our CL ambitions. Not one fan not taking a coin from Celtic had a say. But we suffer their inbred trepidation. We are in this place because those in charge failed us. Failed the manager and the team. We have s playoff for the consolation cup and still nothing. You don’t get behind incompetence Bob. You call it out. We will never nit support our team, but the men in suits who let the team down are more than fair game.
Trying to blame fans for Lawell is unbelievable. Did we feck up getting McGinn for a paltry £2.75m? Less than we paid for Kouassi to out that into perspective. Did the fans fail to see that Boyata would work his ticket? No we did not. Did the fans fail to bring in defenders that would have meant Biyata could have left and made £10-12m? No we didn’t. Is it the fans fault we played a makeshift inexperienced defence throughout the qualifiers, that finally and predictably saw us crash out? No it wasn’t.
If you can find in your mind excuses for all that happening then I just scratch my head. We are in this position because Lawell made an ego trip to hell.
£65m gone. Was that the fans fault?
But if we dare to call out this shambles we are listening to the press? We are the problem? You justvteoated your first post and make out it’s our fault.
Where do you even get that from? Seriously, how can you look back on our close season and not apportion the responsibility for where we are?
It’s like blaming the child for pointing out the King was naked, where happy clappers pretended he had on new clothes. Same deal here. If Celtic don’t want the fans who love the club to criticise them, then they should guarantee that by not making a total, utter arse of it.
If they do, as they have, then they get both barrels and rightly so. I asked before, where else would a CEO cost his company £65m would survive? Nowhere.

Waiting til end of month, apart from that, I’m out on this string. Perspective man, we have no automatic right to be in CL and that is to a large extent UEFA’s fault on new system/ stitch up. 4 qualifiers after a WC campaign and bad luck with injuries is a huge context for said perspective.
20 Aug 2018 14:51:24
Aye it’s everybody else’s fault. What was I thinking. We knew what we were up against and did feck all. That’s our fault. No guarantees in anything, well there is one, do feck all and you pay for it. Seems that one came up trumps again.

Bob there’s no anger in my reply, just think your talking nonsense! U start your post having a go at people for voicing there opinions on our terrible transfer window and other things that are happening, giving it people are talking shoite and pish. then u tell people it doesn’t need to get personal! It’s laughable honestly! And u keep going on as if the media are somehow brainwashing these people into having these opinions! I’ll say it just it’s nice and clear for you. the daily rags garbage has absolutely no influence on my opinion that the club have stood still and made an arse of this window! It’s also has no influence on the fact that I think boyata is a rat who should never play for the club again! Hope that sorts things out.

Lawwell must love the fact we’ve got quite a lot of fans like Bob, who’d accept any old pish served up from the board, however, complaining is irrelevant with poverty Pete, as he couldn’t give a dam if fans are happy or not, and knows we will keep supporting even when getting short changed in the transfer market, one thing about sevco, they always back their managers best they can, a lot of their signings haven’t been great in recent years, but they always back them to their limit, I’ll say that for them.

I'm as unimpressed as everone else about the state of our defence.
On a brighter note Arzani will be a hit in SPL, the A league here is a fairly physical league, not a fantastic level granted, but Arzani will be better equipped to deal with the SPL than Mussonda was.
Fingers crossed we get a decent centre half in.

Let’s hope so mate. I have a good feeling this boy will be a good addition. Time will tell but I think he has a lot of talent and looks physically more able to cope. HH.
20 Aug 2018 14:31:07
I've got a good feeling about him, he looks much stronger than his predecessors.
20 Aug 2018 05:58:29
UJ, my ego is based on facts. can't deny we are the best team in scotland. what's your ego based on? 8 games? lol calm it.
19 Aug 2018 23:45:31
At such a pivotal time of season when his team is under performing. He had better be doing some deals lol man city u-21 will do . i bet they are still better than our duds.
20 Aug 2018 02:13:55
FFS give it a rest, We aren't even out the first month of the season.
20 Aug 2018 10:51:38
Our duds are you kidding, that statement is ridiculous. We have the best team in the country. Our players haven't become duds overnight. Yes we need to strengthen in a couple of key areas. The duds as you say are playing at ibrokes. won NOTHING. We will sign and strengthen now after last week. Remember we have completely dominated and clean seeped kat two years. If we don't do it again this year snipers will be saying we have gone backwards. I'm not one as I am a realist. We will strengthen and put others back in their place which is 3rd I think.
