Looks like we'll have griff, eddy and dembele available for the Sevco game.

28 Aug 2018 22:24:59
Start the three of 'em!

28 Aug 2018 22:29:46
If Dembele is still there.

28 Aug 2018 22:49:45
cant see him leaving before friday.

28 Aug 2018 23:12:52
Dembele is supposedly leaving every window tamtam we shall see. maybe he will maybe he won't but if he does they better have a replacement lined up cause griffiths and edouard probably won't be staying fit for the full season.

Missed training apparently, Shane long deal as replacement I bet. Fast, direct and a massive Tim although found it hard to get goals recently, may fair better in our league although I'd rather moussa.

29 Aug 2018 13:12:11
Shane long is just pure and utter 💩💩💩

The guy is hated by fans at Southampton.

29 Aug 2018 17:56:12
Kev T that is probably a good thing as Southampton fans haven't been blessed with good strikers and wouldn't recognise one when playing for them .

Remember Shane Long would be valued at approximately half M Dembele and thus wouldn't be expected to be as good, but he is a good hard working striker.

According to Ed002 we should perhaps give a thought to Valère Germain joining us rather than Shane Long.

*I hadn't worded that very well so changed it.

28 Aug 2018 15:47:28
Is that not the guy that is supposed to by part of the deal that Marseille offered for Dembelle.

{Ed007's Note - Yes.}

28 Aug 2018 15:50:44
So is that Dembele for the off then Ed?

{Ed007's Note - No, there's been no deal agreed.}

28 Aug 2018 15:52:36
Does congerton know this 😂😂.

28 Aug 2018 15:53:06
I read this morning that he could be part of the deal to sign dembele.
Him plus 18 million.
Dismissed it because it was fae one of they hit websites.

28 Aug 2018 15:59:50
Reports say that the boy does not want to be apart of any deal for DM.

28 Aug 2018 16:00:53
Hes valued and 10m euro, so they are never giving him and 18m quid.

28 Aug 2018 16:02:22
No smoke without fire tho Ed. Kinda looking like he may be for the off. Ah fu (k it we should just sell Ntcham, KT as well.

28 Aug 2018 16:29:46
There has been smoke since the day he arrived at parkhead.

28 Aug 2018 16:54:51
A don't think the board would be daft enough to sell the mousse there would be a break in especially if we lose to the orcs.

{Ed007's Note - So force him to stay?}

28 Aug 2018 17:16:09
If he wants to leave punt him. Already seen the trouble an unhappy player can cause.
If he wants to stay get a new contract in front of him.

{Ed007's Note - I don't think he's forcing a move but I do think he would be disappointed if a deal can't be struck, Marseilles are one of the teams he would like to play for - it'll probably come down to game time guarantees again.}

28 Aug 2018 17:16:11
As heartbreaking as it would be to see him go, he’s at Celtic to improve and move on to bigger things.

How many years a player has on his contract is now only used to help increase the price of a player. If a player wants to leave they will find a way, as I suspect we’ll soon see with Boyata.

Don’t know if Germain would be a permanent signing but it’s surely an improvement on Shane Long.

28 Aug 2018 17:59:07
Germain has said he wants to be no part of the deal.

28 Aug 2018 19:46:00
Let's hope there's a replacement lined up or we're in soapy bubble.

28 Aug 2018 20:34:35
Mally, a replacement lined up! I hardly think so we haven’t had anyone lined up to replace any of the areas we need filling or improving . This window is anything but forward plannng unfortunately .
