This is probably nothing but hear me out.

I'm looking on the Celtic superstore website at the squad lists available for printing on the back of the shirt. The following two players aren't on there:

3 Emilio
18 Ki

Every other important player in the squad is on there while a few I'd expect will leave are omitted (Rasmussen, Murphy). Probably nothing to be alarmed about but this happened when McGeady moved on weeks before the transfer actually took place.

Strangely enough Majstorovic and Loovens are on there so it's probably nothing at all to go by, just weird that these two are missing given they're important players and given it happened seasons ago it could be a nudge towards them leaving. I reckon Ki will leave, as for Izzy I'm not so sure.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

I for one hope this isn't true, I wouldn't mind Ki leaving as I heard the other day about how a fee around 7 million was apparently agreed between Celtic and QPR. After his injury Izaguirre didn't seem the same, but towards the end of the season he was seeming more like his old self, I hope he stays with us for the next season at least.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not long off the site and both players are there. Don't think Ki while be there much longer though.

Daz the Hoopy

OP here.

Neither were there for me or are at the moment...

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe they just got a delivery of ks and zs ??

Agree0 Disagree0

Funny that. I remember when Petrov signed his new deal a mate of mine went in and bought his new top with petrov on the back, a week later he was gone. My mate went in and kicked up a stink and sure enough they gave him his money back. I wonder if they now dont advertise shirts if there is a possibilty of them leaving.

Edd couple of things sky tv this that whatever its a fact black & white that since we went to sky the scottish game is worse.
A spl club was always their & their about in europe long before a sky tv deal.
If it wasent for sky epl wouldent have a game fit for viewing.
Sir alex said himself football sold itself to the devil (sky).
What u pay a year sky sports is not that far off a Season ticket.
Give it to bbc or sfa use some noggin could start their own channel along what mad vlad said.
NDP83 {Ed007's Note - Exactly mate. What Sly money was involved when CFC went to Seville? Get back to filling stadiums rather than how much you can get from TV, if the product is there then fans will come to watch, then the TV money is just a bonus. Look what happened with Setanta, the ITV Digital crash in England, that was only 10 years ago and look at the Championship now.}

Believable8 Unbelievable3

From what i'm reading and I could be wrong...its not 80m of Sky money. Its seems to be made up of ESPN, SportFive and sponsorship. This cannot seriously be based on the Rangers v Celtic games. If Rangers are in the 3rd Division then whats to say they don't meet Celtic in the Scottish or League Cups. It might be re-negotiated but I refuse to believe this 80m is nothing more than scaremongering. The contracts are not up until the end of the coming season so we're to believe 80m will be lost over 2 seasons (I'm making the assumption they get promoted every season) Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

If the sky deal 80 million with old firm.
Say 20 million without.
If newco n cfc were drawn in a cup would this games tv right be worth 60 million.
Should send sky packing.
Ha ha that music alone is dreadfull.
NDP83

Agree0 Disagree0

If Celtic and Rangers are worth this much to Scottish football then why are they 'scaring' the other teams. What's the distribution of this '80m', how much to the SFL teams get ? Rangers have not been spending their share very wisely Mrs E

Ed, could you advise how much the BBC pays out each season for a)Scottish games TV highlights and B)TV coverage for English games, thanks {Ed007's Note - In May the BBC agreed a deal to keep the EPL rights for MOTD until 2015/16 paying £179.7. As far as I know the SPL deal is worth £3 million a season.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Ed how much of that is paid by bbc scotland to show it here {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't think they will pay anything to show EPL highlights, MOTD will be syndicated and shown on all BBC channels.}

ED007, I heard that Johnny Russell of Dundee United was a target and also
heard talk of big John Daly. Any truth in these rumours? Timalloy {Ed007's Note - It's just the same every window Tim. Daly is 29 and is he really better than what we have just now? I just can't see Russell happening either.}

Believable2 Unbelievable6

I dont think Daly would be any better than Murphy and as for Russell , I think the lad has reached his level he will probably be a very good player for Dun Utd but not to take us forward . I think I would take a chance on Mackay Steven though , I would like to see what he could do given a bigger platform .

Hi if sky & espn feck off who cares better chance of getting celtic tv , i
will defo subscribe, , wot you think ed? {Ed007's Note - I detest Sly and everything it stands for. Murdoch and his minions are some of the most despicable people on this planet. It would be one of the best things Scottish football could ever do if they could cut ties with them.}

Believable12 Unbelievable2

I would happily pay for an SPL tv channel so I could get rid of my sly sports. I would still get my season tickets too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Unfortunately Sly have me by the short n curly as I live in Hertfordshire. 25mins on a Tues night at 2300 is all I get with the odd live game thrown in for my 40 a month.

Richybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed just out of interest you have no sky on your tv ?? coz i know you have as you watch the wwe so u dont have any sky sports package ?? {Ed007's Note - Do you think you need Sly to watch WWE?? HHHmmmmm ok officer.}

Ed! Was wondering if u think Lennon should try bring in chris Sutton to replace thommo? Think this would be a great move.... Bigc79 {Ed007's Note - If anyone is brought in I would rather it was someone with a bit more experience to help in Europe.}

Believable4 Unbelievable1

It better not be Stuart F'n Baxter!I wouldn't mind Lubo.

im truly fookin sick hearin about sky money this and sky money that. if the worst comes to the worst, im personally gonna go to paradise and strike up a deal to take a team of canvassers oot and sell subscriptions to celtic tv.
according to the agreement, i believe that we cat show live matches in uk, only delayed matches. well. if sky cancel, im pretty sure we can sell thousands of packages at the £40 subscription charge just now (which is WWAAYYY cheaper than a sky subscription) to loadsa households throught scotland.
then, celtic can sell the live game rights to all and sundry and make loads more than the £1m per season which we currently get out of the sky deal.
early estimations (which is easily reachable) would be a minimum of 100,000 subscriptions = £4m. then add to that the rights from abroad and sole advertisement rights too, we're lookin in the region of £10m in the first season on stand alone.

Frankiebhoy I'm a canvasser to trade and will work 2 nights a week for chuff all! Daviebhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Will the other team you are playing not be due any money.and what about the money it takes to film the games. and mabye all other spl teams will not let you into their ground unless you pay them. and you will be breaking spl rules.

Agree0 Disagree0

Right then, its on..... the wheels are in motion.... the morra :)

Agree0 Disagree0

As celtic already have channel 67 up and runnin and has been for a number of years now, im pretty sure they will know how to expand. leasing out channels to other clubs (as sky do) will be another wee earner.
all games are already recorded as you should know, so its not about "how much it takes to film games"
other spl teams WOULD let us into their grounds as they would be getting paid by us instead of sky for the broadcasting rights which they would receive a share.
ive already mooted this idea about and every single celtic fan that ive asked has said they would be willing to cancel their skysports which would save them 20 a month (roughly) which is 240 annually, and spend a lot less on celtic tv.
frankiebhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

The spl own the tv rights we cant sell our own tv deal unless the season starts with no deal in place but remember the 11-1 vote will be gone before the season starts and the spl will have some sort of tv deal

Agree0 Disagree0

I already have Celtic Tv and watch every SPL and almost all the euro games through it. It is a great service and well worth the 40 a year. I got rid of Sky years ago as I was sick of the commentators and will only ever watch our games through Celtic TV

Hi ed! What's the chances of lennon trying t get andy carrol on loan? Am sure Rodgers won't like him to help other epl teams plus a heard Rodgers is a Celtic man! He would score a lot up here and possibly CL football can only help his confidence {Ed007's Note - He can try but I doubt it would happen.}

Believable3 Unbelievable9

Shove your andy carroll, not fit to lace hoppers boots, the facts are there to be seen!

Bishypaul

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Bishypaul nae facts both are VASTLY OVERRATED .....jimthetim..............

Agree0 Disagree0

He's the type of player that Lenny wants but he wont come here. I actually liked him when he was at Newcastle. I think he'd be the perfect foil for Hooper.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jimthetim, both played in the same league hooper scored more in less games, fact in its self, if u think Gary hooper is over rated u are deluded, he's gonna go on a become a legend if he stays!

Bishypaul

Agree0 Disagree0

Carroll supports us aswell as far as I know but personally I would like us to go for Mike Havanaar from Vitesse. Very similar player to Carroll but an inch taller, he even looks like Carroll but with a different hair cut. Doesn't look that good on paper with just 5 goals in 15 games but look closer and you'll see most of his starts are from the bench and he has actually averaged a goal every 114mins, in the dutch top flight for a midtable club that ain't bad going, can't help wonder how well he'd do in the spl.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good idea mate, we'll go for the lad who always starts on the bench for the mid table Dutch team

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think we would get carrol but can confirm Brendon & whole family are CELTIC daft just like the rest of our village

Agree0 Disagree0

Looking for some help here lads, lasses and Pat, does anyone know the chords for 'The World Club Championship Song'? Can't find them anywhere! TRP.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

{Ed007's Note - TRP I am friends with the singer from An Spiorad, I will ask him about it for you.}

Thought big Rassa looked very good in the development team. Look fit and up for it and took his header well.
Ed do you think he might be able to work his way back into the reckoning?
HH
/BB {Ed007's Note - I can't see it. I would expect if there is any acceptable offer to the player and he would be encouraged by the club to accept it.}

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Anybody know wot has happened to this guy? He's clearly a better centre forward than Sammy and defo better than Murphy, I mean he would score more goals just think its weird the way he's been frozen out

Agree0 Disagree0

Rasmussen is a disgrace of a professional mate, lazy lazy individual. Was thinking along the same lines as you this time last year. Went to the development squad game against partick and I covered more ground going to the toilet at half time, he set a very bad example to ALL of our youngsters that day. The first team arrived home from Oz just a few hours before kick off and Lennon came along to watch the development side, even this couldn't wrestle any effort from the guy.

Get rid,free if need be cause he's a bad apple. I mean its not as if the teams he has went to on loan are great and even they don't want to touch him!

Jamie Mac(its a no from me) {Ed007's Note - I remember a few people saying that after the Partick match last summer Jamie, it seems he hasn't changed much either from what I have heard.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Jamie that's cleared that up. He will struggle to get a club wae that attitude.

Agree0 Disagree0

He was torture at firhill that day and saw nothing since to change my view that hes a fat lazy bar steward.the real shame is that useless c*nt has been wasting a space on the bench that the likes of watt etc could have getting to build on match day experience and playing time.

Agree0 Disagree0
