Its on espn website that it could be villa m8 no sure where your reading it but just had a good browse and that all a could find hope am wrong and your rite!!

Well if he goes to Villa that's what we get for dragging our heels
Agree0

Well today's papers put that one to bed because Lennon has decided to go for the cheaper option of Teemu Pukki and am not happy with this at all god knows who his other signing will be it's a midfielder going with the papers I hope it's Pablo Piatti but it's Lennon we're talking about it's probibly willo flood!
Agree0

I'm really hoping its the Finn we've signed. We keep getting 'squad players' such as your man from wolves and to a certain degree balde. We need real quality to come in and lift this team from the mediocrity we are seeing these past few games. let's not kid ourselves we were lucky against Ross county as well as the draw yesterday and the aberration that was shaktar.
I have visions of rankers back in the premiership in two years with the gap closed on us rather than widened as you would have expected a year ago. That would be bad business.

I'm sorry do you ever read your posts. Rangers won't be or ever will be near because there business model is burst.

I think they're referring to on pitch, we should be widening the distance between us and all Scottish clubs, instead we're narrowing it - on pitch!

Get him signed up cause we are screaming out for a left sided centre half. van dijk has shown signs that he is quality but moyokolo looks like a player who has been released by a team relegated from the english championship. pish. van dijk needs a competent partner and to be playing in his natural position. **** this 2 right sided CB's. let's get a bit of experience at the back to help van dijk. all the top clubs have 30+'s at the back
Agree0

And yes I know he's only 26. but let's get some experience in.
Agree0

Rather get Cani to be honest, but agree definitely need experience to help Virgil agree again Virgil will come on with a good quality c/b beside him, look at Toure at Liverpool last night I know Celtic couldn't afford a guy like this wages but just saying for example how experience at the back pays off

Strong whispers that Neil Lennon's striker is in fact Alfred Finnbogason. Club have been working very hard behind the scenes in their pursuit of him but look to have finally agreed on a fee with Heerenveen. Pretty much comes down to the player now and as to whether or not he wants the move. This could go right down to the wire.

I would love it to be him mate but I don't know where you heard the rumour according to rumours flying about its Kevin Doyle . I really hope its Finn though :-)
Agree1

Neil Lennon has categorically stated that Kevin Doyle will not be coming to Celtic. As I've said above though, this deal could go down to the last few days.

Thank god Doyle isn't coming then. Finny Rumours heating up now so hope you're right Seamus :-)

Just telling you what I've heard Sharky. Might be rubbish but Lennon hasn't completely ruled out Finnbogason. I'd give this one a chance.

Hope this is a go-er, 35 apps 30 goals imagine he would wait till after Wednesday to make his decision (if true) PK1888

Good luck to him we should have sold him last year before he broke his leg, he just doesn't defend we'll enough for me, all of the defenders we've had over the last few years can't have been haddys, Forster is a nightmare, a man that size should command the whole of the penalty area, he obviously doesn't leading to mayhem in front of him, sell him too, good luck to kenny miller put some shift in for us, he was gutted when he was sold bopped benfica single handedly to put us through to the last 16 under strachan

I'll drive him down myself F.O.C, absolutely useless can't defend and can't cross a ball when he goes forward, he only gets a place every week because we don't have another left back, and nobody say Charlie because he can't defend neither. Stevie
Agree1

I disagree Izzy was one of our players that showed up today. Was a constant threat down the wing when Lenny observed we had no width, brought Charlie back to a three centre defence pushing the fullbacks on.
Agree0
Disagree1
Most of our chances come from Izaguirre! He puts in a lot of crosses, just because every one doesn't end up as an assist doesn't mean he's a poor crosser! He assisted Mulgrew's goal today and and Commons's against Elfsborg.

Emilio izzagurie celtic loves you more than you will knowwww ohhhhh
Agree0

Indeed - in the absence of route one, all we have at the minute is speedy emilio whippin in those crosses. Let him leave at our peril - & he's still awful young. His appreciation for Celtic is obvious - like brown, Zaluska, Sammi, Joe
Agree0
Disagree0
You guys need to wake up. He's one of the best players we have. Up and down that wing constantly. It's other lazy buggers in the team we should be worried about.

I agree his crossing was poor but he was the only threat we had today until Matthews moved up one. We were far too narrow and Izzy was the only outlet. If you watch it is amazing how many times he gets the ball for being a left back. Keep him or we will be a route 1 team. Victorsgonnaegetyou.

Sell him now! We can draft in a better replacement at short notice - Tommy Gemmell maybe, that's how much Izzy contributes to the team, unless losing the ball & causing supporter coronaries are part of the gig. :-]

What game you bhoys watching.? Our best player.? Cough man. He is pi55 poor and never finds a man even though he has about 30 crosses a game . Shocking

Heard Barry Bannans name being mentioned quite a lot-seriously hope it's not true, we need a proven goal scorer and solid centre half, not a run of the mill midfielder! {Ed007's Note - Bannan and his agent held talks with PL when he was up for the first game of the season. He is more than willing to take a wage cut to sign for CFC and he is coming up for Wednesday's game.}

Im sick of the bull sh7t we get fed, all lennon is doing is talking nonsense that we are trying to sign this and that, its rubbish. finnbogson is only 5 mill and we ain't willing to pay it for a quality goalscorer. we will sign some dud for half the price and struggle unless they get the finger out. rant over lol

Yeah typical after Seville if a few quid had been invested we could have been a genuine Champion League contender but we didn't and same again last season, last 16 do your upmost to keep players at the club and invest to strengthen but no! I'm not an person I know we can't spend recklessly but in my opinion we have the balance wrong and far too much emphasis is placed on the business and not the team
Agree0

I would say Finn will sell for nearer 7 mill and wages double the top SPL player.too much . ttts

Rubbish? ONLY £5 million, well if it's ONLY £5 million why don't you buy him for us Mr No Name, you obviously have the money if you think it's ONLY £5 million. Unbelievable!

To invest money after Seville poster your talking pish if you think we could have been CL contenders get a grip. For years after it we needed to cut out costs and I'm glad we did you know nothing about business you need to go to Govan for prime example.

Listen tambhoy we have sold 3of our best performers over the last season plus champions lg money and season book sales so I dnt think 5million is a lot to pay. penny pinching could ruin the season before it even starts. we need a goalscorer and finn is the man for the job. paulbhoy er you go clown

I would take Banan over Stewart

Well Paulboy I will listen John Park before I listen to you, at least he know's what he is talking about, as for the name calling grow up FFS

You were being rash Tambhoy,
£5m really isn't a lot to ask. We've just sold our top goalscorer for a package worth more than that, and to bottle out of buying a better striker for the same price is bad craic. Not to mention the other profits we've made lately. Looking as if we'll miss out yet again, only the board to blame.
Agree0

Saw bannan in barcelona for the champions league game last season, black celtic top on {Ed007's Note - He is a massive CFC fan and comes up for games as often as he can. If the deal doesn't happen it won't be from his side of things.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Jim the Tim, a bit rash, the guy is basically calling Lenny and Lawell liar's, £5 million is a massive amount of money to spend on someone to play in this league, I am like every other Celtic supporter, I want us to win everything we enter but sometime's the brain has to be put in gear.

Neil Lennon needs to be consistent with his CB pairing ~ Mrs E

Looks good. 4-4-2 with two young fast strikers.
Good to see effe back in defence linking up with the new guy.
Agree0

I know we have injuries and a huge game on Wednesday, but I agree with Mrs E and cannot understand the chopping and changing in the back four every week.
When you lose arguably your best defender (Wilson) it is paramount that you organise and stick with a settled defence.
I sometimes worry about how Lennon picks his teams and why Mulgrew is played out of position time and time again - to no effect!

Nick the tic He's injured man and to be honest with you it really doe's not bother me wether he play's, man is not a team player, more of a glory hunter, just look at how many time's he shoot's for goal when he has no chance of scoring, when it would be better to pass to a team mate, watch him

Did anyone hear jim Duffy on scoreboard last night talking about Defoe? Think he was making sense. Take him on loan for a year plus pay wages would total around £3m. I would also take a punt on Bobby Zamora

Fed up with loan deals, never end up permanent & next year scouring for more. Pay the £5m for Finn.

Crap. we ain't willing to pay 5 million for a signing of a quality goalscorer then there's no way that will happen for a loan. wake up son
