Omer Damari and Eyal Golasa being linked with Celtic according to reports in Israel. Both of them have Dudu Dahan as their agent, who brought Kayal, Ambrose and Gershon to the club.

21 games
16 goals
I'd rather see 2 of our strikers leave sammi being 1 and the new guys givin a chance before a new striker what Neil should have done givin them all a good few games and see how good they where and if not up to scratch sell and get someone else in .

Were we not linked with Damari two summers ago and didn't pay the 2 mil for him

{Ed007's Note - He was a Maccabi Petah Tikva player at the time and their president went public that a deal had been agreed along with claims about sell on clauses etc. Peter Lawwell was furious and pulled the plug on a deal and Damari joined Hapoel Tel Aviv. I'm sure he has a 3 million Euros buy out clause in his current deal.}

Think Damari would be a good signing but he's been linked for years, decent record.

To add fuel to the fire, Dudu Dahan is in Glasgow. Posted an update on his Instagram account.

I knew there was something ed cheers

{Ed007's Note - No probs.}

Y are everyone posting that we are linked with all these players and sly not reporting anything?

Haven't seen the guy play but according to his stats 41 goals in 82 games for Hapoel, That's not bad at all.

Still can't see PL signing a cheque 4 another striker when we have 8 already. Unless there r a few on the way out.

Celtic won't sign anyone else this window unless it's cb, NL has just brought in 3 new forwards and with Sami looking like he's going nowhere I can't see him spending 5/6 million on a so called cl striker if there is such a thing! If so who? I would bring in Stevie May to do a job in the spl if he does well we could sell him on hooper wanyama style .

Stevie May waste of money!

Lennon said he wants to do business now and not in summer we have too many crucial CL qualifiers. His words no one else's.

Have to agree though don't see us signing ANYONE else in this window which I feel let's the manager down badly.

If Sammy and joe want to go get their near £50k a week off wage bill by offering them free tranfares the now. Would save approx £1.4m in wages between now and 30th June.

{Ed007's Note - The club wouldn't save anything, they would still need to give them any money owed from their contract including paying up the remainder of their wages, loyalty bonuses and in Ledley's case probably signing fee instalments. Apart from that they would probably be looking for a settlement for any bonuses they would be due at the end of the season.}

I think sammy and joe won't go for the simple fact there isn't any real interest in ether of seem nor stokes or kayal or lennon would help pack there bags they are all too inconsistent and to be honest not worth 5k a week never Mind what they are getting! Let's not even mention sick note rector, pukki, bangura, balde, tony watt . They are all average players . Stevie May has been consistently scoring goals, £500k 10k a week wages if your lucky . why not?

Stevie may went to my school bell baxter in cupar fife and I can confirm he is from the darkside.

Oh and I genuinly think balde is the real deal. See big things for him next season.
Hew1888

The dark side u say! o well that's that a no go, realistically who do use see NL bringing in for our 2/2.5 million Pish? And if he does push the boat out I hope it's not Fletcher I watched him last night and doesn't look any better than what we have in sammy, same goes for Leigh Griffiths.

Damaris caught my eye in the Europa and I was thinking he might have been one that got away. Surely a couple must be on the way out. Sammy and Bangura?

The dark side and TFoD refer to The Rangers international FC and possibly some of their players current and past but I would suggest not to some guy who happened to go to a non-denominational school. Sopotcelt.

@op surely the three names listed, should give us an indication not to sign anyone from this agent? We don't need anymore pool players! Couldn't give a monkeys hoot if sammy leaves! Two mazy runs a season does not justify a wage! Ledley is a good player though, and although we have an abundance of mid players, there are none as good as joe, kayal is closest but gets brushed off the ball too easy then gets posted missing! We need another Alan Thompson type mid hard aggressive with an eye for goal! Tony watt is another David Marshall! One game against barca then forgot! We are clutching at straws with signings now, are there any that could walk straight into our team and improve us straight away? Sick of buys for the future! We need quality now! Qualifiers will be on us before we know it! Or will the board promise a superstar to sell season books then wait to see if we qualify first?

So Stevie may is a rangers fan so it's a no. grow up! Scott Brown our captain is a rangers fan enjoy that thought

Delbhoy 100% hit the nail on the head with everything!

That's exactly what will happen they will come up with the usual "couldn't get over the line with one thing or another" will go again in the summer blah blah blah.

He's scored lot more goals than that for them wpedia only shows league goals I seen a stat that he scored 5 goals in 4 games in the champ q this season?

I think I would get rid of sammi and stokes I used to go mad last season when he would get drop but this season he's had a chance to be our main forward and he's let the club and fans down on scoring goals however I think his play out side the box has been really good! Is he better than pukki out side the box
Who would u keep if u had to choose pukki or stokes?

It's so frustrating to be a Celtic fan rite now! The board sold three first team player for huge profit! You can't replace them with players for the future? They are sitting counting the the heavy bank balance while the fans pay even more to watch lesser standard players week in week out! It's a sad state of affairs, but until the zombie tribute act come back up, this is about as good as it will get! Just my opinion though! Until rangers are challenging us for the cl pot of gold they will sit back and milk the cash cow knowing no other team will challenge!been proved time and time again . Mon took us to Seville, 2 or 3 quality signings could have made us a reasonable force in Europe! What did the board say? After last seasons run in cl? 3 assets sold! Afraid it's going to be dire till there is a genuine challenge for the big pot! Rant over!

Is Scot Brown no a hibee a fan?
A don't mind a rangers fan playing for Celtic a do have a problem if they've been raised hating everything about our club and fans if so they'll not want our money and u couldn't trust them to give 100%

Grow up? Correct me if I am wrong but if u grow up supporting rangers and there for dnt support celtic why would that not be a no go? All that talk about scot brown being a rangers fan is a lot of rubbish . Celtic will not sign a striker in this window! We need a cb and a left back, with good play making from or new attacking mid when I say attacking that's not joe and brown pass back, pukki and blade will come good!

Kenny Dalglish, Danny McGrain and Davie Provan were all die-hard Rangers fans - didn't stop them giving their best for Celtic.

Jock Stein wasn't exactly a lifelong tic fan, in saying that at the moment Mays not good enough.

Celtic could rekindle interest in Leigh Griffiths should Georgios Samaras be sold to Sunderland after Wolves have left the door open for the Scotland striker to leave should the Scottish champions increase their offer. (Daily Express) The agent for Serbia midfielder Filip Djuricic, presently with Benfica, has insisted the 21-year-old will not be joining Celtic during the current transfer window. (The Scotsman) Celtic lead the race to sign Middlesbrough Rhys Williams after Swansea City dropped their interest in the Australia central defender. (Daily Record) English League One club Coventry City are closing in on the loan signing of midfielder Dylan McGeouch from Celtic. (The Herald) Swedish club Gelfe expect a bid from Celtic for their 16-year-old Congolese-born forward, Tshutshu Tshakasua, who has represented Sweden Under-17s and has been on trial in Glasgow. (The Herald) Kaposvari Rakocz have told their 17-year-old striker, Mark Murai, who is due to go on trial with Celtic this month, they will not stand in the way of a move to the Scottish champions. (The Herald)

Bruno Martins Indi is a player I would love to see at celtic. a left sided centre half to partner van dijk. 4-5 million well spent I would say
