FORMER Manchester United kid Danny Webber
could be set to relaunch his career at Celtic.
The 29- year- old striker is currently without a club
after being injured in a pre-season trial stint at QPR.
Webber never made the grade at Old Trafford after
emerging through the ranks as a promising
youngster, and has accepted an offer from Neil
Lennon to head up to Glasgow and prove his fitness.
Released by Portsmouth last season, Webber has also
featured for Watford and Sheffield United, and would
be able to sign for Celtic immediately given that he is
currently a free agent.
The player has recovered from the ankle injury that
wrecked his chances of a contract at QPR.
And, if Lennon believes he has something to offer,
he could win himself a deal at Parkhead.

Shouldn't even need a trial to tell he's not good enough.

afternoon ED just seen on gossip page hooiveld has signed for 3 and a half year contract with southampton on an undisclosed fee,stef1967

Its been confirmed that Hooiveld is gone

I know its undisclosed fee but anyone any idea roughly how much we've got back on him?

Is the transfer window open? He may be going but this cant be a done deal yet surely?

David {Ed007's Note - Deals can be agreed and put in place at any time during the season, but it can't go through until the next window opens.}

Apparently it can go through because Southampton already own his registration. Though I'm not 100%

Thanks Ed. Why is the fee undisclosed? That usually means he's being given away

David {Ed007's Note - I stand corrected David, if the loan was made with a view to a permanent deal the player can be signed any time during the loan period. So that must have been the case rather than just a loan deal and they have been impressed enough to buy him. As for the fee, undisclosing them is just a way of clubs keeping their finances quiet, There was talk the other week that Southampton were ready to bid around £1.5 million though.}

Im sure on clyde 1 they said he went for free.... hope thats not the case. {Ed007's Note - It isn't. The fee was in excess of £1 million.}

Thats good hope we put it to good use.... few more fringe players away and get quality centre back and tall forward in

Celtic received £1.35m for Jos Hooiveld with a further £225,000 dependent on appearances between now & end of season 2015!
