Hearing that we are putting the finishing touches to a bid of 2million for alexander buttner from man utd.

Would love this to be true, think izzy and him would push each other to another level. I do think there is a chance this could happen though maybe not to the summer. Don't think he's on the wages some people imagine at united.

Buttner is on 15k per week at United

Hopefully mate, If Griffiths is our 'marquee' signing I will be raging! where has this 6m for 1 player gone? PL needs to reward NL and us fans by splashing the cash, maybe in the summer now but better late than never. Unlike the zombies - NL may do walking away!

Only a rumour just Thought I'd share but I doubt this myself lennon denyed he'd sell izzy to everton as cover for oveido and has been impressed by izzy this season!

Buttner isn't worth £2 mill what I've seen of him . Looks a very ordinary player . Another one of these highly paid no users covered in tattoos and a peaky blinders haircut . DH

Y spend 2mil and cover, let's give chalmers a wee chance and wait till the summer 4 a left bak, don't need 1 that bad

I'd like to think that we could sign buttner people on this are quick to say he's not good enough etc we need two good players for each position. Izzy blows hot and cold would be good to give him some competition. on another note what's the point in us signing any players as Lennon sticks with his Tried and tested lieutenants. How do we know if balde, pukki etc have a future he has giving balde about 5 x 10 min sub appearances and to show what he can do let him start!

Feart me, people saying Buttner's not good enough but defending Leigh Griffiths lol.

Never mind alex buttner from man u - why not look a bit closer to home? I've said this before but Andrew Robertson from dundee united is a player! wouldn't cost nearly as much as buttner and is a good young prospect - scored a few goals this season too and is a die hard celtic fan so would play for the club, give 100% each game and knows playing for the club is an honour as opposed to anything else.

We let Robertson go on a free a few years back because he wasn't big enough

@9 no name poster. Robertson was released by Celtic a couple of seasons ago.Now I believe there is interest in him from the Premiership and the Championship in England.Possibly another one who got away who was never given a chance to develop at Celtic.

I watch Man Utd every time they are on sky! I have not seen enough of buttner to say if he is good or bud but obviously if the Man Utd scouts identified him as a long term replacement for evra then he must be ok! Personally I don't rate izzy and would rather see mulgrew play there every week . Buttner would bring vast experience ( training with better class players week in week out) in my op. and at 2 mill would not be as much a gamble as an spl player trying to make the step up?

Buttner coming in as competition would be great. But how can people not rate Izzy. He's one part of this defence which is on a great run and he's constantly one of our best attacking players the other end too.

Friends with a few Liverpool fans and some have said that they have heard interest in Virgil. Other LFC haven't heard anything.
Ed, any news/thoughts on this.

{Ed007's Note - LFC have no interest in van Dijk.}

Thanks Ed.
Often wondered, as you are accurate in your statements, how you are so " well informed"? Contacts, long term connections? Whatever they are thanks for your input.

{Ed007's Note - You're very welcome, it's amazing who you meet on the Naked Rodeo circuit :)

What about the young lad at Partick, Taylor-Sinclair?
Are we doing a deal for him or not? Seems to be a highly regarded young chap.

Hail Hail

{Ed007's Note - Taylor-Sinclair is out of contract in the summer and CFC were given permission by Thistle to talk to the player and his representative late last year. There hasn't been any agreement on a pre-contract though as I know there are a few English teams still interested in him.}

Was at the st mirren game on Saturday, he looked good defended well attacked well and has a great end product, and most importantly still very young, I would like to see him,

At a time when some fans are complaining about signing a guy who scored goals in Scotland last year, to suggest signing a guy from Partick is worse than scraping the barrell especially as our defence is pretty solid.

Az, ajax, anderlecht, qpr en celtic still named for Dutch under 21 winger guus hupperts. Roda JC said to not selling the player in TW, but the media thinks for 1, 5-2 mil he will leave the south of holland
