{Ed007's Note - A fine musician and wonderful poet who was tragically taken from us far too young. #Damned27Club

30 Aug 2016 23:49:24
Ha Ed007, a doors man as well as a Celtic manπŸ€.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Love 'em mate. I hadn't listened to them for a while but I was syncing my Spotify on my PS4 a couple of weeks back and my Doors list was on there.
I met John Densmore back in the 90s at a book signing for his autobiography, Riders on the Storm, I've still got the signed copy somewhere upstairs. We had a chat about the Val Kilmer film - but the (swear) must have lost my phone number.}

31 Aug 2016 00:02:14
Jeezo ed you had me sticking the earphones into my phone there to listen to Roadhouse Blues. (The live version) .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Never mind the headphones!}

31 Aug 2016 00:40:03
Some old colleague tried to tell me 'back door man' was about chicken. I dunno.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Probably his wife told him that. The song wasn't a Doors song, it was a cover of a Howlin' Wolf song from about 10 years previous to The Doors album coming out.}

31 Aug 2016 01:03:40
You can't beat a bit of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Black Sabbath ed.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'm not a great Stones fan (more a Beatles fan) but I can listen to their greatest hits or compilations and a particular favourite is She's a Rainbow and Get Off My Cloud was an old drinking singalong song with mates back in the day.
I can't stand The Who!! Hate them in fact, far too much red, white and blue involved, and I'd love to ask Pete Townshend whatever happened to THAT book he was researching?
Led Zeppelin are good but Black Sabbath's a bit too much for me, Pink Floyd and The Velvet Underground are more up my street.}

31 Aug 2016 02:33:25
I'm a massive music fan ed The Stones are my favourite band you should listen to albums they done from 69-74 when Mick Taylor played guitar with them like Exile On Main Street, Sticky Fingers and Goats Head Soup he gave them a bluesier sound, i've seen (some a few times) The Stones, The Who, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Acdc, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, David Bowie, Page and Plant, Iron Maiden, The Eagles, Saxon, Quo, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher, Joe Cocker, Joe Strummer, Rod Stewart (he was shite) Tina Turner (aye she played it) Chuck Berry, OCS, and a few more i can't remember lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You deserve a boot in the haw maws for going to a Rod Stewart concert! Not only can he not sing but he's a pure dick into the bargain.}

31 Aug 2016 03:06:21
@ Ed007 regarding the 2nd stones number you mentioned liking in this post. Don't know if you will remember Aberdeen FC released their cover of the song entitled Hey McLeod get offa Ma Ewe. LOL.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - (facepalm)

31 Aug 2016 07:34:54
Yes, Pete where is this book? He seemed to have done plenty of research and yet not even a first draft anywhere to be seen.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 08:11:42
Great music taste, I am a massive Beatles fan but I absolutely love Pink Floyd. Can't believe they never got a mention.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's no accounting for taste buddy.}

31 Aug 2016 07:50:20
Ahhh the infamous book ed, maybe he's still researching he seems to pay a lot of attention to detail.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Or maybe he's just another filthy wrong 'un...

31 Aug 2016 09:55:10
It was at Celtic Park in 91 so that swayed me going lol i loved The Faces stuff and hoped it would be all Faces stuff he played but it was mostly all his pop shite he played i just went up on the day and bought a ticket outside, i love the Floyd too but didn't get a chance to see them my mate saw them years ago in Rotterdam and he went to see Roger Waters in Manchester. I also seen Paul Rodgers, The Saw Doctors, The Pogues and not forgetting the mighty Wolfe Tones about twenty times i'll probably remember some more, i love the Velvets too ed one of my favourite tracks is Sweet Jane.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I seen U2 a couple of times at Celtic Park (and once at Murrayfield) but that was before Bono got lost up The Establishment's - and his own - arse, I wouldn't open the curtains to watch them now. I seen Floyd at Earls Court in '94 and at Live 8 and I had VIP passes for both Oasis gigs at Knebworth in '96. I also worked on their main security team when they played Murrayfield in 2000. The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed solo have appeared at the Edinburgh Playhouse a few times over the years and I've seen them both a couple of times.
I've lost count of the amount of Wolfe Tones concerts I've been to, Motherwell Civic, The Plaza at Eglinton Toll and of course The Barras.}

31 Aug 2016 10:03:56
Lets just say hypotheticaly he is writing THAT book! Who the hell would want to read it, silly question actually.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Wasn't it meant to be some kind of autobiography?}

31 Aug 2016 10:43:17
That old chestnut.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Exactly.}

30 Aug 2016 21:37:59
We have made a concrete offer for Hernanes, apparently he's very interested in regular first team football and a guaranteed shot at champions league and not just substitute appearances.

Believable2 Unbelievable5

30 Aug 2016 23:03:50
Hmmmmmmmmm.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 23:25:13
First time posting on this. Read it for many a transfer window.

I believe we will see 1 loan and 1 permanent signing tomorrow. I'm not fussed about big names as long as they improve the team. Although if celtic do pull off a big "marquee" signing the Bears will be calling for a new magic hat!

HH

Keep up the good work Bhoys.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 23:26:09
Why wouldn't he want to choose us over Genoa? we have CL football for him to test himself 'I mean c'mon city Barcelona and Bach.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 23:36:14
I would love this to be true, this guy is a player and would be one of The best midfielders to pull on the hoops EVER! To the guys questioning this transfer further down the pages, you have no clue.

Agree2 Disagree1

31 Aug 2016 01:36:15
@ Paddy63
Maybe he has young children at school in Italy and wouldn't want to move to a new country, he doesn't exactly have to prove himself either or he would not have played for the teams he has or gained 27 caps for Brazil.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 20:29:47
Just watched The Gamboa interview and he wants to be here that's what we all want to see I don't know much about him but I hope he succeeds for him and our selfs! Think Rodgers is going to go for Leicester style of counter attack in the CL COYBIG!

Believable4 Unbelievable2

31 Aug 2016 08:13:01
Was really impressed with him and his determination to succeed. The photo of him point to the badge is quality Hail Hail!

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 15:41:10
Daily Ranger linking us to Hernanes from Juve - think this would be a great signing.

Believable4 Unbelievable7

30 Aug 2016 16:49:34
Please no, we don't need Brazilians lol

Does the name Rafael Scheidt ring a bell lol HH.

Agree1 Disagree7

30 Aug 2016 17:08:00
Aye that's right, because all brazilians are at his level. Neymar? No thanks. Might be Scheidt.

its the record, enough said.

30 Aug 2016 18:36:21
Although remember Juninho, he came with great pedigree from the Boro, and he never set the heather on fire either. Whether they don't settle and adapt to Scottish football, I'm not sure, but think there may be better targets to go for.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 18:41:18
It came from an Italian source yesterday.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 19:41:51
Juninho would have been class if Martin oneill would have played him right.
He just wasn't oneills type of player.

Agree3 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 20:34:31
BR will play him where he will become the player he is you
can bank on that hope this is a done deal.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 21:39:29
Got to agree with u kev. But he wasn't O'Neils signing was he? From what I remember he was kind of forced on him. For all the good points O'Neil had that was one of his faults, his treatment of juninho I mean.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 23:32:58
Br tried to sign him for Liverpool.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 23:39:42
Juninho moaned he was played out of position that's why he struggled.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 15:13:14
Simunovic having medical at Torino.

Believable7 Unbelievable3

30 Aug 2016 15:36:15
More funds for BR.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 15:37:07
any idea of a fee?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 15:29:46
Na don't believe that one, Lawell, Lawell would want his money back.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 15:31:23
This will go down as a very stange signing! Hardly kicked a
Ball now back to fitness and leaving! Odd one!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 15:52:34
And very little time to spend!

Paddy this isn't a rumour it's a FACT.

Agree6 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 16:38:41
More disappointed that we never really got the chance to see how good he could be. Best of luck to him.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 16:40:24
Disappointed if this is true. Dare i say it. thought he looked a good player. Emergence of O'Connell has done for him i guess. Did we not pay the thick end of Β£5m for him. would want to see that back and a serious signing before tomorrow midnight.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 16:02:05
Should be more funds and I hope it is but time is ticking and
unless we are at advanced talks with SOME players can't see us bringing in more than one more.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 16:04:48
3.5m. Heard a story the guy has more health problems than just his footballing injuries.

Agree5 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 16:47:27
Think the deal we agreed for him was heavily dependent on adds on like appearances, international caps etc. More than likely the basic fee will have been 3mil tops. Also won't be a chunky sell on fee to pay as little or no profit generated. Its a good deal given he has had more than one spell on the sidelines and we don't actually know how good he is.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 16:53:02
Correction. looks like we paid Β£3m for Jozo. selling for €4.5m. Tidy business really. Why are Torino so desperate to sign a guy who has been on the treatment table for the vast percentage of the year.
I am smelling something big coming for us. so hope i am correct.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 17:21:16
I read it was 3.7m.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 17:25:33
More health problems?

That will be why the Italians want to buy him then. Famous for it.

Where did you hear that? Taxi driver? Mates birds, sisters boyfriends ma works in the pie stall was asked to a board meeting after shifting 367,000 pies in three years and managed to see his medical record? One with a skull and crossbones on it.

In Italian?

The things you hear on here. :)

Agree2 Disagree4

30 Aug 2016 18:23:53
Magic pole all of that's irrelevant now. He's a goner.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 18:28:56
A member of the Celtic staff that has been a family friend told me it

Agree2 Disagree2

30 Aug 2016 18:56:55
You left a word off my post ed lol, a bit of carefull editing lol, i don't post stuff that isn't true, the boy was suffering other problems connected to being out injured for a while.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 20:52:14
17 games in a season and a half ain't good stats and considering he came off twice injured in they games is even worse IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 21:12:11
Is there not a 35% sell on clause due to dinamo zagreb?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 21:47:39
U talking about mental health problems Jamie? It's not something to joke about if u are. By the way 80% of footballs finest have had mental health issues.

Agree0 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 01:28:22
Yes Steph.

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Aug 2016 01:36:54
My post didn't joke about it there are two similar named posters to me and you must be mixing the two of us up steph mental health is nothing to joke about in my original post i never said what the boy had to stop people joking about it.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I can't see anyone joking about anyone having mental health issues so let's not get into an argument about it.}

31 Aug 2016 09:17:08
And let's further clear up flock all to do with me I only sppitchoke about stats on the park btw.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 10:43:57
Said it before simunovic said he wanted to leave last summer but because of the rules regarding playing for more than 2 clubs he was only able to sign for Zagreb who had no interest in returning the fee at that point simunovic downed tools
Only surprise is its taken to deadline day to get him moved out although I think Torino were interested in him when he signed for Celtic.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 15:12:57
With Jozo away to Torino it looks like the deal was already in place. Now we have Gamboa at right back Rodgers obviously sees Lustig as Jozo's "replacement" at centre half. Makes sense. Also been told there's ZERO interest in Jordan Rhodes.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

30 Aug 2016 16:07:34
Hearing Rodgers knocked back an offer of loan players off Man City.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 16:45:35
Wifred bony?

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 17:55:03
Hearing he had a choice out of 2 or 3. We could only take 1 as we've already got a City player on loan and you can only have 2 loan players from 1 club. I'd have asked for Denayer seeing as we're selling Jozo.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 19:42:45
Not clued up or anything but I'm guessing it wouldn't be bony or denyer now likely youngsters
Hail hail.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 14:46:22
According to Twitter Celtic are interested in signing Rickie Lambert from West Brom.

Anyone else heard this?

I reckon he would make a decent back up.

30 Aug 2016 14:51:47
Ed

We have always been notoriously slow when it comes to completing deals. If we can get 2 over the line tomorrow I will be amazed.

30 Aug 2016 15:45:00
Ed, you think we might get 2 more as well as Gamboa or including him?
