If Lennon's got one more signing up his sleeve before the qualifiers I hope it's a creative midfielder who can dribble at pace, score goals, pass the ball through the eye of a needle and is always looking to go forward and be positive. A Phillipe Coutinho, but for £2million . There must be one out there surely Ed!?

Rogic might be the man for that mate

Dont discount Rogic.I think this boy has real talent if used properly.Play him in a forward mid role and he will shine. green jhedi

Rogic is that man. The boy will blossom in this team. I can't remember the last time he played a game not looking for a forward pass. I know i'm a little biased but i'm so excited we have him. He's a talent.

Zactly m8 look at wanyamas first season with us pretty quite something tell me rogics goinie really ahimè this year. Joe bhoy

I hope Rogic does step up but I think we need a creative left winger as well. Fede Vico, an 18 year old Spaniard, has just left Cordoba for Anderlecht for £1.3million. He would have been ideal!

LM67

Commons starts that position and should continue to start it, he is An excellent player, you have a short memory, it was him that
got us into the last 16 remember the penalty. Also rogic will be pushing there aswll. I agree we need a winger for the SPL tho, Sammy will always start a cl game

Ed/everyone this is a very honest question. Did Southampton really bid 10 to 12m for wanyama?

The reason I ask is I know it's just funny season time names & numbers get put into every team at every price. But I have stopped buying the papers since mid April as its just pure lazy and usually tosh, so is it official that Southampton bid for him?

To me it's far to early for Celtic to sell a player at the 1st double figure a English team throw at them? Can surely string it out a little at least!

Hi Ed hope you are well, good work as usual mate. Got to say I very happy with signings, not on to add speculation to next signings will trust in lenny and john park. With the ones leaving and new arrivals I think we will have a great squad next season. Just wondering what you guys think what other positions need strengthening, I believe only 2 for me a LB and a creative player. Assuming hooper stays and vic leaves. Thoughts guys.

They've confused him with Dutch/Indonesian player SERGIO van Dijk!

When wanyama goes his replacement is meant to be Huddlestone from spurs you heard it here first

Doubt it. What kinda wages will be on at a big London club?. green jhedi

He has mentioned that he wants regular first team football and wants a shot of champions league football if we can get by the qualifiers he would probably come

Oh and I meant to say that Bale was telling joe Ledley this at someone's wedding

Wanyama could not agree terms with Southampton. so let the bidding war commence!
Arsenal would be the perfect fit. they have not had this type of player since Vieira (happy birthday).
Between £15-£18M will suffice. They sold a less crafted player with less potential last year in Song to Barca. so come on Wenger get your wallet out!

EKBhoy

According to my paper today it wasn't £10m . it was a £12.5m bid from the saints . if the big guys are interested, no, £15m is not out of the question . I would take that with add ons .

which begs the question, how can one guy be worth more than the entire ticket sales, for a season, of the biggest most successful team in the world . I mean £15m . that will be their turnover for 13/14.

if we get 15 for vic, and hoops goes for 5 . added to 20 for season books .
oh and let's not forget the champions league money from uefa is due in july another 25 . add another 10 for pay at the gate, lotteries, catering etc .

does that not make us 5 times bigger and better than, the biggest and most successful team in the world . what a bunch of ostrich fannys . shammy

There have been times when i, and others, have questioned the motives of Mark Hateley's ramblings in the record. That has now been put to bed after Charlotte fakes showed he was in the employ of the now defunct club until Agent Whyte showed him the door.He was being 'managed' by the press office at the dust bowl to spread propaganda.

On checking out his latest thoughts on the Scottish game it seems clear he has a memory problem. Here are some of his 'enlightened' views on our game.

'Well done Stewart Reagan on promising to withdraw licences from clubs who have caused their own financial meltdown'
'The SFA are culpable for the shambolic state of some of our top clubs'
'It's time to FORCE every CLUB to prove they are running their operation properly'
' Every team should be given an annual MOT to show they are in good condition'
'Follow the German model where clubs HAVE to produce books every season to show they are not spending more than they earn'

From these quotes it is clear this man lives on an entirely different planet from anyone else. When rangers(il) faced their own 'financial meltdown', entirely due to them, they did lose their licence.Thats why your new club could not play any friendlies mark, they had no licence.
How are the SFA to blame for the state of some clubs? SOME clubs chose to lie and circumnavigate the rule book to gain an advantage, any bells ringing Mark?

He now seems to be on a roll.He wants clubs forced to prove they are running their operation properly.Annual financial MOT's and following the German model of fiscal openness.This from the champion of a club who have not had audited accounts for over three years! He also cites the SFA in thinking Romanov was a fit and proper person to run a football club.The same SFA who thought Murray was fit and proper to run rangers.No mention of Murray from Mark even though Murray's overspend dwarfs Romanov's.

He then waffles on about what a great club Hearts are, fantastic stadium, history etc. He loved playing there, it seems it is a 'place of worship'. Then he takes his nonsense a step beyond sanity. All through this he uses the term club.The clubs must show accounts etc.Not one mention of the company.One problem. If incorporated the club accounts will come from the company, this will make them the same entity.This is why we all know your old club died Mark.Your club accounts came from the company.

Finally.'look at the great clubs rangers, Celtic, Man Utd.After all these years they still play at their old stadiums'. One of these clubs is a year old.The other two are well run, well respected clubs at champions league level.One of these clubs, if the rules Hateley wants introduced, would have their licence withdrawn.The other two are financially stable and plan for the future. Thankfully I follow one of the two proper BIG clubs. green jhedi

The guy has zero credibility and even lower than that after recent revelations. However we were all aware he was on the payroll at Ibrox he hasn't the ability to think for himself so would need managed in what to say.

If he was on their payroll just for the 'PR' then if I was a Rangers fan, I would not be happy. Club's massively in debt and you have to pay an ex-player to write nice things in a Scottish tabloid newspaper oofft!

I can't remember the last time I read anything he Mark Hateley wrote. I did see Huge Keevins today in the Sunday Mail and he has taken up a whole page explaining why its okay for Celtic for spend their money. Lazy journalism at its worst! ~ Mrs E

Keevins. A divisive parasitical maggot. that's his good points. Sopotcelt.

HK is perfectly well balanced with a chip on both shoulders regarding Celtic. let's never mention him nor MH ever again and starve them of an audience.
