The Celtic-Kevin Davies rumour started this morning on Talksh1t. Irani and Brazil talking to the moose. about west ham targets. Irani suggested Davies and then suggested celtic might be a better fit for both. As it goes I think he would be a great signing, great experience and help out a very young celtic team. physical presence we've missed for a few seasons

Great player , but out our reach, gets daft money even at Bolton, would love him up here

Would have him here in a second, would add quality and fight to our attacking options.

Kayal is the one who should be
transferred, but unfortunately he always
gets injured around about the New Year.
What good is a half season Midfielder,
when we have a surplus of them.
Sell him in the Summer and buy someone
to replace Majstorovic.
My definate not for sale players are -
Hooper, Ki, Wanyama, Ledley, Matthews,
Izaguirre and Forrest.
How about bringing Josh Thompson back
next season and giving him a go,
he's served his loan deal apprenticeships.

Bring back josh thompson wtf are you on
The only good thing he should be serving is tea

Actually I think Josh Thompson might be worth another look next pre-season. When he was thrust into the team I think he showed there's potential there. He was raw as hell and he looked a nervous wreck most of the time but I'd hate to see him just offloaded as I reckon he'll end up a decent centre back. Whether it'll be at Celtic or not I'm not so sure but nonetheless for a 19 year old I think he did a job and could come back a better, more composed player. Got to remember as well he was playing for Mowbray...

Totally agree with the last comment, for him to be thrown in a team playing so badly he showed more balls than the highly paid experience internationals (Mr. Braafheid) playing beside him. Had the makings of a good young player, it all depends if he's developed since then

Kayal is our best player in my view!!

Ur talkin as if kayal done his own ankle ya puddin! he got injured in a 50/50 challenge in an old firm game ffs! Then u sayin bring back Josh Thomson confirmed uv not got a clue way ur talkin about.

We have a young CB already at Celtic Park with much better potential than Josh Thompson and his name is Thomas Rogne.

Josh thompson is dyno

The Injury sustained to kayal this year was due to a THUG's tackle. Surely thats not Kayals fault?!?!

I'm not having a go at anyone but I often see the term " Celtic class" being used then I see people wanting josh Thompson back. I don't blame Josh Thompson for anything and he might be a decent centre half and age is on his side but he is not the answer for cfc

Thug tacle its was a 50/50 ball which lennon has already said kayal went in jst as hard

Watch the thug's leg, its straight and going nearly over the ball. McCulloch hits the top of the ball and follows through. Straight legged tackles are straight reds. This clown knew what he was up too. BTW Lennon has learned to shut up and not give the media the amo they require

sass

Sass.....

Considering McCulloch was going in for a challenge against TWO Celtic players I can understand why he went in on the rough side, but still, it wasn't a maliscious challenge. Stop yer Fleckin' whingin' ya wee wumin, it's in the past!!

TTG

Well said ttg

Josh thompson will be an excellent cb i defo think he should be in the squad next season

If he is that good a centre half I wonder why he can't get a game for Peterbrough, a team with the worst defensive record in their league .

IMHO i think kayal and wanyama are head and shoulders above the rest of the team.if we were gettin rid of a midfielder then my choice would be ki.

Kayal was injured for around 10 weeks well before Christmas last season, and broke his wrist near the end of the season. Him and Broony coming back at the end of 2010 helped the team overcome the nerves they suffered from with Shaun Maloney running the show in midfield.

Just heard on Radio Snyde fone(y) in that Jellyfish has a buy out clause of..... £2.5M!!
THAT'S JUST MADE MY FECKIN' NIGHT!
LMFAO
HH
/BB

A hope thats true.wid pi55 ma self laughin.would serve them right

This would be the icing on the cake if it was true. Their £10M striker (so they would have us all believe) going for £2.5M If this was the case does that mean that the summer bid of £6.5M they rejected was BullS**t?
I hardly think it is true though, why spend £4.5M to put a buyout clause of £2m less.

Exactly.so obviously not true

We should buy him for £2.5m, give Jellyfish a £1m payment as a thank you and then punt him on for £7m, making a £3.5m profit. lol.

Can't be true
Cb

Utter rubbish seeing as they paid 4M for him and thus the team that sold him could make 2M out of nothing if Jelavic was willing to go back to Vienna.

So unless he renegotiated his contract (which I don't remember him doing) it's nonsense.

Who is actually daft enough to believe this? why would anyone, let alone them, pay £4 million for a striker and put in a clause were they make a loss intentionally?

Yet another rumour about Rangers on a Celtic thread.

You bhoys really cant get enough can ya?

PMSL

Aye enough of your destruction is cracking to watch from a birds eye view at the top of the table and why are you on here anyway what a contradiction that we care what you rejects are up to and you are on the celtic page!

Edd any idea what wages Alex is on at Chelsea? a bid of about £3mil would prob be accepted, but I think the wages would be a stimbling block! {Ed007's Note - He is on a reputed 50k+ a week.}

Likely to go to QPR.

Did you Seriously think we could possibly afford this guy? It was a cert he'd be on stupid money!
TT88

Robbie was on 60K+ and dermot paid for that. Lennon has mentioned they would look in to a marquee signing if it became available! {Ed007's Note - Spurs still paid a percentage of Keane's wages.}

Keane signed on loan with Villa.
Another bullet dodged IMHO.

Please let's stop the feckin short termism and stupid loan ideas and get a player like Salihi in a build for the future.

We have the momentum now we can't give the shame a chink of hope of getting back in here.

If we were really serious about our team! why are we even considering "marquee" signing's? We should put that money in a transfer fee and place a £6m+ bid for Jordan Rhodes! Rhodes is amazing and he will only get better and then all we need is a centre back.

If we did buy a marquee signing like Alex it would cost us the transfer fee plus his wages at 50k per week for a year and that is £2.6m + the £3m transfer fee that got mentioned so that is £5.6 for a "marquee signing"? why are we even considering this as an idea?

Jordan Rhodes is only 21 years old and if we did place a £6m bid for him and a 4 or 5 year contract! It makes sense to me so I dont see why the board are not making a bid like this and when he does leave we will atleast double our money on him! Its a win win situation in my eyes.

If our money men were really serious about our team he would be here already. {Ed007's Note - Huddersfield don't need or want to sell, plus Rhodes isn't looking to move in this window. It's not as simple as throwing a bid in.}

The days of bids above 4m are gone

We dont need another CB at the moment. What we are crying out for is A big strong CF in the shape of a Hartson or a Sutton.

Evening gents, IMO we I would just like to see one more big f off main CB in there. Think we should scoop this guy from rapid v ASAP.
CB :)

I agree with u Ed that they prob wont sell him in this window caus they will make more money from promotion and then they can still sell him in the summer but Ed if u dont try u dont get! in reallity the board r just too tight. and to the poster that said we dont need a top cb wake up! we've needeed a good cb for years! we need players that can also compete in europe not just for spl. we defo need a good cf and good cb.

Ed-Any truth in Kevin Davies from Bolton?

Def the type of player we need but he's no spring chicken so 18 months at best out of him if we did.

Cheers

Richybhoy {Ed007's Note - No.}

He's on big wages,so probably a no,but something different to what we have up front

I thought he was of to west ham

Your thinking of kevin nolan

Bernie nolan maybe or one of her sisters..cool

Bernie Nolan...lol.. My sides are splitting...!

I def heard Kevin was being considered. Same mould as Sutton so thought it maybe true as that's the type we need.

If Ed said it's a no then i'll take his word for it.

All this talk of a CB coming in makes me wonder who'll play beside him as I can't see Lenny leaving Charlie out and Thomas Rogne is shaping up nicely.

Spend it on a no7 Lenny

Richybhoy {Ed007's Note - I've said the same Richy, I don't see where a new CB will fit in with the amount of players we have in that position. Unless it is going to be a 'top drawer' signing.}

To the poster above you r very easily pleased if u think the CB we have r good enough! loovens is a diddy, Majstorovic is too slow and makes too many mistakes, mulgrew is a left back, wanyama is cm, i do think rogne will become a good CB he would benefit from with a good cb. i really cant beleive some of u say we dont need a a good CB. ED hit the nail on the head by saying that if we get a CB then he needs to be top draw.

So you would drop Rogne? Charlie will be a permanent feature at CB as his delivery is top drawer and leads by example. I'd be very happy going into the title run in with the defence that we have and use the funds for a CB on a top drawer CF.
