Have Celtic made an approach for Miyaichi or is it just speculation? {Ed007's Note - There is speculation that CFC have mad an approach.}

Ok, cheers ed, hope we get him.

kev88 - forgot to put name on {Ed007's Note - No worries Kev.}

Why are we being linked with ANOTHER winger, how many wingers do we need to warm our bench? We already have McCourt, Forrest, Commons... unless one or more of those are leaving? Hmmmm

JD

Well JD we have got rid of 2 in maloney and niall mcginn and apart from those 3, what other credible wingers do we have? some people like to have this thing known as "back-up"

just wondering what peoples thoughts would be on signing O'Connor? Big strong forward who is a proven goal scorer in the SPL, i wouldn't mind giving him a chance {Ed007's Note - I hope you mean Des?}

O'Connor is a "dope" in all meanings of the word

This was going around even before he signed for hibs. I have to say he looks like he can do the buisness. But there are concerns abount his private lfe etc. He would be fairly cheep (think he is on a one year contract) and looks like he can score goals. I think I would have to say no. think we have better in Hooper Stokes and Bangura

David

I like o'connor would be cheap and proved
this season so far he can score goals in
the spl....the drug scandal with him prob
means he neva get a deal at celtic.

viewparkbhoy

Hes looking not too bad, although mr lennon must have had a good chance to have a look at him when he was training with us in the summer!

Turns like a corporation bus plus as slow as a week in the jail. we must be able to attract better.... surely

Why go for O'Connor. Far better to give Rasmussen a fair chance.

Just to clear something up about Kris Commons, him and Lennon never had a bust up, the reason why he ain't been playing is, over the summer he done alot of weight lifting and now hes baulked right up and lost a bit of pace, thats why he looks as tho he getting abit fat, hes just be told to get it sorted out.

Also a few players coming in January, expect us to sign a GK, CB, Winger & CF.

GK - Craig Gordon - £1m
CB - Denis Kolodin - £2.5m
Winger - Ryo Miyaichi - LOAN
CF - Baba Diawara - £2.5m

Couple of players to be leaving to

Cha Du-ri
Glenn Loovens
Gorgious Samaras

That is over £6m on new players, do you really think our board will spend that much.
As for Loovens and Samaras leaving both are on good contracts and wont leave. CFC 1967

Hope so, really hope so, but seems like a lot of money

Are you serious. Commons off his own bat without talking to Celtic trainers Doctors physios dieticians etc goes on an Arnie crash course weight programme. Was he expecting to be in a Mr Universe contest? perhaps he was training for the Scottish weightlifting team for the commonwealth games. Its only a short walk to the venue from Celtic Park. Either people are seriously naive or are having a laugh. Maybe hes overweight out of shape and unprofessional. And if by a very slim chance he was weightlifting (I will never believe it) He thinks hes now Marvellous Marvin Hagler and wants to tell NL how to do his job in front of the boys in the dressing room which is disgraceful behaviour from a pro. Seriously the whole thing stinks and NL should sell him at the earliest opportunity. {Ed007's Note - The weight training story is true.}

Just can't see the Board sanctioning anything like that in January.

Lol really ed ??! then what wieghts is he liftin with his a$$ ?! cos thats doubled .... lol form behind he looks like evander sno ! :oP

Germinator {Ed007's Note - It's his wages ;-)

Accepted Ed, but if he didn't get clearance for the weight training then that brings up a whole raft of issues and if he did then the specialists dealing with his programme need to be looked at as they appear to have made serious errors Weight training can be dodgy for a professional athlete for all sorts of reasons and it can make a person overly aggressive and can cause serious lapses in judgement. It usually takes about 6 weeks to lose the bulk but I dont see any evidence of loss of muscle and trimming down. If he was taking best advice from the Club then he deserves an apology from me and the club professionals dealing with his programme, if he was doing it on his own as I suspect then I have much less sympathy.

Because of his size he wanted to baulk up, like a Carlos Tevez type of build but over done it to much, as for spending in January Lennon will be giving whatever cash is brought in plus a good part of europa league money.

Why would sunderland sell craig Gordon for £1m when they paid £9m for him. At that price do you not think teams like arsenal would go for him. {Ed007's Note - He is out of contract next summer.}

Not read all the comments on here but the guy who wrote this post is talking complete tosh. Lenny and Commons did have a fall out fact. Would love to know where you got your info or did you just do what most do on here. Hear something then make the rest up.

Well its been reported that the board are going to give lennon alot of money in january to get the league tied up fact so wouldnt be surpirzed {Ed007's Note - Who reported that?}

Maybe the board are going to give Lenny money but the point that him and Commons never had a bust up is a lie!

(Not read all the comments on here but the guy who wrote this post is talking complete tosh. Lenny and Commons did have a fall out fact. Would love to know where you got your info or did you just do what most do on here. Hear something then make the rest up)

I don't really care if you think i'm talking about of crap but this is true

I just thought he'd been on holiday with Scott McDonald this year !

Everything wrong except samaras leaving ya berk

Gordon for 1 mill? are you smoking the funny stuff? stop being deluded, use have NO money to spend in Jan, unless use sell ;) if use had money why did use not flash it in Aug? USE HAVENT GOT ANY!! {Ed007's Note - Use??? What about the £2.2 million on Bangura? Did you forget about that? Not to mention the £1.1 million for Wanyama along with signing on fees for Wilson and Matthews plus the loan fee for Forster and his signing fee. The plural of you is actually just 'you' by the way.}

Morning ed, hows you?, how about sol campbell to sort out our defence , i know he turned us down before but we need to win the title this season & he would be a good partner for k.wilson, wot you think? {Ed007's Note - I hope you are kidding!}

Ed, what do you think. Has commons played his last game for Celtic? The dressing room bust up with the manager is fast becoming the worst kept secret, and i dont think that the player has helped himself by tweeting at the weekend about not being considered for ibrox. Neil Lennon has to do a 'sir alex' and get rid of him for daring to disrupt the dressing room im my humble opinion!
MistahMahn! {Ed007's Note - I'm not sure how bad the fall out is. I doubt he will have played his last game though.}

Yep agree 100% with that mate but whats your thoughts on Hooper tonight he looked to me like he did not care? X bhoy {Ed007's Note - I don't pay much attention to that kind of thing.}

I thought hooper looked ok to be honest! Apparently commons has a track record of this kinda thing!!
