I think I saw this name a few weeks ago but ed do you think Danny ings on loan is a possibility?

{Ed007's Note - No.}

29 Aug 2017 19:53:12
Think he was pretty gd for them last year n scored some important goals.

29 Aug 2017 20:34:07
Has Danny Ings even played in the last 2 years?

29 Aug 2017 21:21:50
My reply was meant for the thread below regarding Shane long.

29 Aug 2017 17:12:13
Newcastle have made Dwight Gayle available. That would be an excellent signing but probably a bit rich for our taste?

29 Aug 2017 18:39:57
Dwight Fayle - he can stay where is.

English, over rated and plays in EPL so probably valued at £20 million.

29 Aug 2017 23:52:59
Agree with both Kevs English exaggeration will mean he'd cost an arm and a leg. But very tidy player liked him at Palace and not seen him for Newcastle but reckon he would run riot in a decent team with a bit of a confidence injection. Too expensive though could buy a lot better with that outlay.

30 Aug 2017 06:47:51
Wrong they are only looking for 18 million for him 😆😆😆.

29 Aug 2017 14:59:31
The proposed £8m coming our way should be treated like the windfall it is, not included in the running costs of the club. I get my wages to pay for my mortgage and bills. Sometimes a wee win at the bookies comes my way and I never use the money for the household accounts. I go out and blow it on goodies. Come on Peter, go buy some goodies!

29 Aug 2017 16:39:43
lawwell would sell his granny, there's cash by the millions stockpiled up there and he won't spend any of it, he's only interested in building hotels and the fat cat fans, he even awards himself a pay rise.

29 Aug 2017 16:49:11
James i get the impression your not a fan of lawell.

29 Aug 2017 16:53:12
If a ch does not come in this window then we have missed the boat again and will put a real dampner on an otherwise excellent time to be a celtic fan, but if a ch and a keeper come in then celtic for me have the best squad iv witnessed so far🇮🇪😎.

29 Aug 2017 19:25:56
Criticise PL all u want but we would not have a sniff of that kind of money if it wasn't for him.
So instead of criticising maybe u should praise him for the possibilty of it, typical fan tho spending the money before we get it.
I once knew a club that did that what happenened to them lol.

29 Aug 2017 20:40:25
Rayman - I could see your point if Celtic actually had spent money and serious money at that but we don't and have not for a while.

Everyone knows a CH is needed to compliment Jozo - Lawell and BR say if needed we can pay big money

Well . guess what it is needed so get spending on a top CH for progress in Europe or we will be on the end of some proper beatings.

29 Aug 2017 22:43:04
we've not spent last years yet, what's the point in having millions and not spending it on improving the team?

29 Aug 2017 23:19:58
With the windfall a decent chunk of it should be reinvested in raking in more potential profit. £4.5m for a really promising up and coming CB and hopefully in the long run he will follow in the footsteps of VVD and earn us a tidy sell on down the line.

30 Aug 2017 09:35:15
It seems as if we sit about then have a mad scramble which usually ends in feck all. It seems saying you will get players in prior to the qualifiers is only a saying. when teams know you have no time and a gaping hole in your team pushes up prices and reduces our ability to negotiate. Any way you look at that it's s balls up.

Lawell turning up with a bundle of fivers won't cut it. Or I should say, it doesn't if you are serious above moving up a level.

Hopefully for Lawell not getting the players in everyone knows we need, won't affect his bonus. That would be a real shame.

29 Aug 2017 12:54:56
Hi Ed, just wondering if you think the skirtle rumour is feasible, think he would be a great acquisition but don't see it materialising.

{Ed007's Note - I know that some places were linking us with him along with Man City ( I know but remember they're after Jonny Evans), Newcastle and Swansea earlier this summer but if he was leaving Fenerbahce I think it would have happened by now.
Skrtel's only been in Turkey a year but he was being linked with a move away because Fenerbahce breached FFP Regs last year and it was thought he would need to be sold but with only days to go it doesn't look like that's true though that's not to say a move won't materialise.}

29 Aug 2017 09:53:49
What's everybody's thoughts on Kundai Benyu? I wasn't able to make the Lyon game but from what I hear he was excellent and that's why BR made a U-turn on loaning him out. Since then I'd say he's looked rough round the edges and it would maybe do him some good to go out and get a decent amount of game time which I can't really see him getting here, especially with Paddy back.

29 Aug 2017 10:31:31
I like the lad Kev I think he can make a big contribution this season. He should have started on Saturday against St Johnstone and we should have rested some players who had played against Astana. I think the criticism of Benyu after the Killie game was unjustified and wrong. He has settled in quickly and I hope we see more of him rather than putting him out on loan. Between SPL CL and cup games we need to use the squad which is the best its been in a long time with everyone capable of making a contribution when needed.

29 Aug 2017 10:37:49
i think he should be loaned out to an spl team kev, got the wings covered now with paddy back, think youll see hayes play where he did for aberdeen, sinclairs back up so to speak.

29 Aug 2017 10:56:41
I agree bhoy wonder I would loan him out to an SPL team for at least 6 months, league the bhoy play every week and get used to the rough and tumble of the spl.

29 Aug 2017 13:00:56
Certainly don't think a loan would harm him if he's not getting game time. Just have to look a what Christie is doing at Aberdeen he's their best player.

29 Aug 2017 13:57:47
I really hope christie gets a chance with us Stan, anytime i've seen him he stands out.

29 Aug 2017 14:13:19
Paying over 1 million for Hayes and giving the sheep Christie was insane! What part of that deal benefits us!

29 Aug 2017 15:07:29
Said it at the time also. Bizarre business.

29 Aug 2017 15:24:46
Think that's one thing we all agreed on. Christie would have been a far better option than Rogic and Forrest up top.

29 Aug 2017 00:59:45
So after sitting down reading what hoops88 said about Brendan I got up early today to go speak to some of my journal contacts. And it appears the rumours we have been hearing is true, Rodgers is supposedly been approached by Italian team Atalanta. And there is talks of us getting either tommy Wright (Which in my opinion will lead us in to top 8 CL which Brendan never will! ) or David Moyes which is the last person we need to get us more fines than those trouble makers that get us fines every game
Of the champions league! I really hope we sign Mark Durnan from Dundee Utd like I've heard about the rumours because our performance was not good enough at the weekend and a New keeper is needed Craig Gordan isn't a Celtic goal keeper I think he's on they zombie sevcos pay books!

29 Aug 2017 08:08:58
Where are you getting Shrooms a week early?

29 Aug 2017 08:15:15
Hoops 88 is funny with it pal, try and be original next time.

29 Aug 2017 08:40:54
Dear god it's hoops88 unfunny cousin! There really is some strange people out there!

29 Aug 2017 10:57:43
I think it's just hoops88 with another account how daft can u be?

29 Aug 2017 11:09:54
think Ed wouldve clocked the IP SoS. Might just be open day at Carstairs ;)

29 Aug 2017 11:25:24
How can you call me a liar when I'm out trying to get the best of information for our club. Sorry for trying but tommy Wright is the man for the job sorry to say.

29 Aug 2017 12:29:50
Look lads two individual sources of information saying similar=corroboration This has to be true. Good bye Brenden all hail Tommy.

29 Aug 2017 12:44:52
Thanks Phliphlop mate. 4 sources has told me about Tommy Wright. I'm pitting aw ma doe on it, yous should do the same. If anyone is calling me a liar then your clearly insane HH Tommy Wright.

29 Aug 2017 16:01:55
So we are insane because we don't believe what some guy said on the internet? Na your insane pal putting all yer cash on it! so BR just walks from us for Atlanta? It's not going to happen, Arsenal or a club of that stature maybe not some average Italian team!

29 Aug 2017 18:05:28
M8 I'm as gutted as you are about this we all will be but it is understandable they have much more money than we do, not a champions league team or not they will can pay Him more and with how well he has done for us he could make them at least a top 16 CL team! I wish him all the luck when he goes I'm just glad we're getting Big Tam Wright in his place, I couldn't accept moyes at all I've heard he's maybe going to be the manager but we got to put our foot down for our club! HH.

29 Aug 2017 18:30:14
Celticbhoy your a very strange guy! Hoops88 is good for a laugh but your actually scaring me by the way! your in a wee world of your own son!

29 Aug 2017 18:57:25
You only need to believe something for it to be true. hoops88 believes.

29 Aug 2017 21:03:52
The only thing I'm gutted about mate is that I've not got any of what your smoking!

28 Aug 2017 23:56:11
CQN reporting that Liverpool have had an £81m bid accepted by Southampton for VVD £££££ hopefully we can get in a decent CB now we've got some extra cash coming in.

29 Aug 2017 02:45:08
Just read the same. Great windfall for us, £8million just hope we spend it on the squad.

29 Aug 2017 08:40:44
It's 10% of the profit we will get so will be about £6.8m.

29 Aug 2017 09:46:50
Here's hoping! Surely another 2 or 3 in by Friday.

29 Aug 2017 09:47:30
I make it £14million for us.
