Celtic have held further talks with Dominic Solanke.

Celtic, Southampton and Liverpool will all be at the Lens vs Niort match tomorrow evening to watch Jean-Kevin Duverne in probably his last game for Lens.

There's no update on the Demebele situation.

Don't think Griffiths has done himself any favours there Ed. Not quite the level of Commons/ Deila but idiotic all the same.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He'll get fined for that.}

18 May 2017 21:35:38
Just fined? He'll do well to play again after a "f*ck off". Well that's what it looked like to me? Am i right in my lip-reading?

He got a kiss Ed, haha.

{Ed007's Note - The jammy sod. :-D

BR a class act every time he speaks.

Hope that's not held against Leigh. He's waited all season for his chance and probably wants to make up for lost time and thought he was excellent tonight. If looks could kill though 😬.

LG really isn't the sharpest. He never seems to see the big picture. He scores, we are 3 up and the game is won. We have two more games looming to rewrite the history books.

He is our only fit senior striker and BR obviously wants to rest him and protect him from picking up an injury. His reaction is to tell the manager to f**k off! He is his own worst enemy.

Agree5 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That's a pretty spot on and fair assessment (clap)

18 May 2017 22:25:16
Stupid daft silly no more no less hopefully apologies, learns to keep emotions in check.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It looks as if Rodgers told him his reasons for subbing him but there'll probably be a quiet chat, a small fine and a forfeit to be decided by the players then it'll be forgot about.}

18 May 2017 23:13:39
Are they not talking about big bucks for Duverne Ed? Especially if Southampton lose VVD. On the LG incident, BR handled it well: never reacted in front of the cameras, put on the wee togetherness bit and then will have had a more serious word with him behind closed doors and a fine to follow. No need for it to be blown up into anything bigger, everybody moves on.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea about how much Lens want, I just know Celtic will be watching him tomorrow night.}

Stan Petrov 19 - So did Fredo from Michael and we all know how that turned out.

Jonbhoy, Maybe like Harry Henderson he will get a kiss and be released.

Leigh Griffiths to get the hump and submit a transfer request when we sign another striker. probably end up at Hibs on loan or something. he's a great player but I just get the vibe Rodgers doesn't want drama and doesn't fancy him.

Just my thoughts.

Strange, I certainly don't claim to be an excellent lip reader, and I havn t seen the conversation where L Griffiths told Brendan Rodgers to "f k off "

Boyata 11/ 1 sly bet to score a header.

I've heard that Brendan has 5 main targets for the summer and prepered to spend round £15m mark.

Joe Gomez - Liverpool (£3.5m)
James McCarthy - Everton (£6.5m)
Henry Onyekuru - Eupen (£4m)
Patrick Roberts - Man City (500k Loan)
Dominic Solanke - Chelsea (500k)

If a deal can't be done for Roberts then there's a winger who plays for Partizan Belgrade who would be our next option.

No chance one or two will come in depending on who goes CB and a number 10 and maybe if we are lucky Wee paddy Roberts.

Agree3 Disagree0

18 May 2017 10:32:22
cant see us getting Gomez or McCarthy that cheap tbh, not with the overinflated prices down there, onyekuru will go to mid table EPL team, id be happy wi paddy on a new deal atm, armstrong also, don't think we will be shopping for EPL players, wages would scupper most for a start.

If we didn't lose any key players, shipped out those who aren't needed, and brought in those five, I'd be a happy tim.

Agree1 Disagree1

18 May 2017 11:33:32
Spot on JimTim, I'm n agreement with u mate n even getting rid of a few n bringing in Roberts solanke n onyekuru etc I'd be happy, it's just the right quality in certain positions. I would be over the moon however if we brought in a top goalkeeper Roberts n even solanke or onyekuru or another forward type, the keeper position is one i think needs addressed asap, specially for champions league.
We have a good squad so far n we will only improve, with a good bit of investment we could see progression in Europe n Being there regularly as well as racking up trophies, glasgows green and white the futures green and white.

Bigshaw, I've been banging on about how I think we've regressed from Forster to Gordon since it happened. I've warmed to Gordon a bit more, but has he really been tested? At European level I would like to give him a chance and hope the big mistakes are behind him, but I fear there might just be a blunder there waiting to happen.

Agree1 Disagree1

18 May 2017 13:39:22
Actually, what am I saying. I'd like a new keeper.

Agree0 Disagree1

18 May 2017 13:50:30
JimTim, in my opinion Gordon has stepped up and made some amazing and crucial saves. He is a quality keeper but we do need something new, I was hoping the Costil rumour would be floating around for a bit longer but I really think Gordon is for Rodgers, can't see anyone new coming in sadly.

Would love us to go for someone like Sigurdsson from Swansea but I feel he is out of range now with Swansea staying up.

Agree1 Disagree1

CG has went up in my estimations Ken, the overriding feeling though is it's a position we've went backwards in.

Let's not forget mind, BR did try to replace CG. I think most of us on here said at the time De Vries wasn't the answer. Thankfully BR wasn't stubborn and showed good management by going back on a decision. Sometimes managers show too much loyalty to a signing.

I'd love us to stump up for a younger bit of quality. Timo Horn I've mentioned on here for quite a while. Alban Lafont looks the dog's but he's probably out of our reach. Or Karius at Liverpool. He looked really promising in Germany but has found it hard for games. Worth a cheeky bid.

Ed007 said it best he's a great number 1 just not for Celtic. He has made some decent saves n kept us in games here n there but there have been too many karate kick moments, blinder saves etc that i feel while comfortable at spfl level i feel we need a better goalkeeper for Europe. I look at a goalkeeper n dontjudge them solely on the but allow me to throw this out there, when looking at a goalkeeper i think is he going to save a last minute penalty or a big moment penalty when the pressures really on n i just don't see that with Gordon. Boruc n Forrester i always had faith in in that situation.
Don't get me wrong JimTim i agree mate with u and the others he has improved under Brendan but i just feel we need someone of top quality in that position.
We r not far away from a really good side with a couple leaving n the right quality coming in we have a bright future. So so hope we get Paddy signed up permanently or for at least another year with a view to permanent as he is absolute class n will go on to be a top player. He is that lubo, Nakamura, type player n delivers in Scotland as well as Europe.
As always great to be a Tim.
Hail hail.

Not really sure about Mccarthy at 6.5 million. Not sure we're he'd fit in.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 01:16:50
Mat Ryan - Valencia would have to be considered should we need a new keeper. Out on loan and would be a great pick up, fits the bill perfectly for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 10:19:40
Sure I read that Bournemouth were interested in 10million rated joe Gomez.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 May 2017 12:40:57
McCarthy would fit in to our team like a glove, be an amazing signing. He would be my number 1 signing, love this guy n he's a tim from glasgow n would run through brick walls for us, and he is pure class. hh.
