Hi Ed, Any news or creditable speculation regarding the comings of a Goalkeeper, season kicks off in 3WEEKS and still we await.This is a very critical part of the jigsaw and the lack of urgency is alarming.NL seems at ease with this situation which makes me wonder if he has something up his sleave.Good to see not so many posts regarding the THREE AMIGOS, keep up the good work ED.....HOOPIE007..... {Ed007's Note - Thanks Hoopie, I would imagine that there are at least meetings with GKs or their representatives going on. It is an issue that should be dealt with ASAP as I have said on many occasions.}

What is wrong with Zaluska, he got a new deal.The yank has not played yet to CERVI.Why not give him a chance.You will not know how good he is.If you never play him.But then again I am a Rangers supporter.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have seen Cervi play and he is a bit of a bombscare. Zaluska isn't as bad as some make out, but we don't have adequate cover for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

What is that last post about. Zaluska was ok when replacing Boruc but when he got the no 1 jersey he was awful, he lost terrible goals and couldn't organise his defence, we were all over the place when he was playing

Agree0 Disagree0

Zaluska looked good at dundee united not up to scratch with us, as for forster i think he done well except for looking very nervy against the forces of darkness every time we played them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Morning Ed007 in todays daily rankers it says Huseklopp has £1.5m buy out clause but he is on £36k weekly, Bothroyd is wanting minimum £35k weekly that even QPR and Everton are baulking at, Bellamy has been told to train on his own and is available but problem is £90k wages. My own thoughts would be bite the bullet offer Bothroyd £35k as no transfer fee involved and move on some of the fringe players which would free up their wages so balancing books. We have hooviveld, rasmussen, mcginn, juarez etc earning about £50k between them use THAT money for bothroyd and/or huseklopp. any thoughts everybody Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Good afternoon Tim}

Agree0 Disagree0

WE DONT NEED BELLAMY imo. spent most last term injured again, great player when fit. A KEEPER is/should be priority?
a sound decent experienced one at that
i have already GIVEN a name for this position

Davy bhoy(@ work) {Ed007's Note - Good afternoon Davy}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed how ye? grand here btw sun is shining on us today - even tho my office not far from a certain dark cloud that hovers everyday over the G51 area of town, can you hear the start of heman playing in background?
any news on a keeper and who if any?
a club of Celtic size needs a similar keeper?
van der sar - riena - hart-
mcgregor dare i say it most teams who wanna do anything have a decent no1
spurs have gomes lol(bomb scare)

davy bhoy (waiting on a keeper) {Ed007's Note - I'm with you Davy, a GK should be top priority and I would imagine NL and PL know this and are making inroads in signing one. I think NL would personally prefer Forster to come back but that could be difficult.}

Lennon has made it clear he will not sell any of his major players and that includes Scott brown who he selected as Club Captain he is building a team to win the league and will not want to lose any players from the first team but will sell fringe players.
Hence players like juarez, rasmasson, murphy and hooveldt are all going to go if price is right for celtic and lower the wages which will then be used to bring in new players

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I think board would think about it if big bids came in for Izzy, Brown or Kayal it would offset money lost in champions league. Myself if an offer fro Brown came in I would take it timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007 just been looking at rules regarding loan players, SPL teams can sign up to 4 players from other scottish clubs, from English clubs an INDEFINITE number so look out for ELEVEN loanees playing for gers next season, best bit is EPL teams have until 1 September to put in their 25 guess Sally is going to have a very busy 30th August hahaha Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007 having a barbie and few drinks with friends while weather is so good post again tomorrow
leave you with a smile
Where do nuns do their shopping? HABITAT(ouch) Timalloy {Ed007's Note - They are getting worse Tim!!! Bin the joke book I say, enjoy your evening.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 EPL loan players would be fine.As long as they make it 4 in a row.But that is never going to happen.When we have EPL class players already at the club, that EPL teams want to buy.Whittaker has two EPL teams in for him.And McGregor is wanted there to.But that does not mean that he is for sale.

Agree0 Disagree0

Haa funny 11 loan players and all that im sure this is the runners up page is it not? and did rangers not compete with a threadbare squad last year with some players loaned to them? also done well in the champions leauge. remember rangers are the team to beat they still have the sqaud that won the leauge and will add to it.

Celtic will announce decen signings when they get back from Audtralia I personally believe thatthey will either get de nigris OR bothroyd.They will also complete the signings of a goalkeeper.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

We wont get de nigris or bothroyd im afraid, probably end up with the guy who went to bari, forget given as wages are way to high, nice thought though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bothroyd wants to play for England again.He wont get that in the SPL.Also John O Shea, is about to join Sunderland.Another player Celtic have mist out on to them, just like the keeper Westwood.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its going to be the guy from norway money talks and he is cheap as chips the other2 could play anywhere why would they join celtic

Agree0 Disagree0

hey ed007, had a look on wiki and it says Damari signed for Hapoel Tel Aviv today. Strange for a sunday and word if this is a usual wiki hoax?

Bankier Bhoy aka Canadian Pete {Ed007's Note - I think it is just a typical Wikipedia hoax, it is not a reliable source as anyone can edit its contents}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I tried to post earlier that damari signed for tel aviv, theres a link on celtic underground twitter page with damari holding up a tel aviv top, signed a 5 year deal. {Ed007's Note - Here is the link to the story:

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes its on newsnow celtic website damari signed, suspicion is they used Celtic to get more money and speed up transfer, reason is it done on a sunday in israel this their MONDAY normal working day over there. Timalloy

I would like to see morten rasmussen up front with hooper because I think he has quality {Ed007's Note - I have said before I would like to see Rasmussen given another chance to prove himself}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I think he is what we are looking for, proper target man No need to buy 1 we already have him

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007 is Rasmussen in australia as i know Hooiveld was left behind also who do you think will leave. Murphy, Stokes or Big Sammy? Stokes formed good link up with hooper last time but i gather he causes problems in dressing room. Murphy is good squad player and as for Sammy..... frustrating but away in europe and against current buns he gives us more options. My vote is Stokes to leave Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I don't think Rasmussen is in Australia Tim. My own opinion is that Samaras should be moved on, he doesn't offer anything to the team apart from the odd goal here and there. I think Stokes could also be on his way if a suitable offer comes in for him}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007 heard couple of guys stating they cant get things posted they should try "other" side I have not been able to get anything posted despite these sites supposedly being "OPEN" forums in my eyes that means everyone's views are welcome what about it Ed0010? besides Ed007 knows if if I dont get on i will send him more of my jokes haha Timalloy {Ed007's Note - The Rangers site was moving server but it should be fine now I am led to believe}

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye big sammy gives us options against current bunns. the option to blow the title ya diddy.

we need a keeper - a decent keeper who will sort out defence like a captain would like (roy aitken mick mccarthy)vocally i mean i know these bhoys are not keepers, to shout and scream like big johan and lenny did in ther day, spend the cash on shay given for next 4 years his experience would be worth every penny imo

hail hail ktf... davy bhoy. {Ed007's Note - Welcome to the site Davy}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Thanks ed - been viewing for a long time find it really funny sometimes. great stuff from yourself, but i notice mostly forwards and midfielders quoted? i worry on the keeper front. a young keeper is not the answer i feel, experience and the knowledge in a game is a must i think plus that bit a madness a real good keeper has in him

ktf davy bhoy. {Ed007's Note - Every GK I have met has a bit of "madness" about them, I think they need that to give them the edge to dive in where it hurts. I'm glad you enjoy the site Davy and feel free to send in anything CFC related.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Welcome davy bhoy the ed will tell you i have been going on about a keeper for ages, i agree with you. Aston villa have made £3m offer for given and yes they can probably offer much more than us but at least TEST THE WATERS and ask him to come home to paradise, the other rumour about De negris on sky they are saying its either spurs, fulham or stoke or a spanish side in europa cup as de negris says "big league in europe" Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Tony did you see sunday mail today Durrant has admitted that gers are waiting on big english teams to finalise their 25 man squads, but that does not happen until mid august, then gers are going to cherry pick best loans. Strategy smacks of poor planning and lack of both thought and money by whyte also is there not a maximum loans each club is allowed 3 I think? Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd rather see us sign Damari or De Nigris than Husseklepp because look at it this way; Husseklepp was a striker at a team that was relegated. I know it wasn't all down to him but surely if he was a decent enough striker he could have scored a few more goals to maybe keep them up? I think signing a player from a relegated club is taking a step backwards. What's your opinion, Ed?

Greg {Ed007's Note - I agree Greg, I would rather see Damari or de Nigris signed}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Is damari the target man we require? really?
or is husklep more the line leader we after to bully and unsettle defences to give these center halfs in scotland a torid time or let them away with kicking lumps out our front line as has been the case for many a season?

hail hail. ktf bhoys and ghirls

Agree0 Disagree0

When folk are sending in these replies i just wonder how many Celtic fans have seen enough of Damari, De Negris or Husseklepp The obvious question is are they better than Stokes ?? It might be another thread here but Celtic and Gary Hooper are so much better when Stokes plays. There must be a Juarez type issue with Stokes as to why he doesn't always play (yes he has some rotten games but i can recall numerous stinking games Hoopers had) yet Stokes seems to be disregarded a lot.
In my opinion he's worth a longer run in the team and like the 9-0 Aberdeen game they'll run riot (Stokes & Hooper)

Agree0 Disagree0

Another point lets not forget the fact Hesseklepp rejected us for Bari F*S does he deserve another chance to join us, i say not

Agree0 Disagree0
