Agree0 Disagree0

Broke this story 5 hours ago on here ... it was laughed at .... Hooper is also being spoke to by As Monaco .... JW

Agree0 Disagree0

To the lad above. a saw your post saying hooper was in russia or something. Well done spot on. Unlike a lot of the rubbish on here. So a big up yours to the guys saying you were talking rubbish. Btw Ed been looking at the site for a while and Green jhedi is a class user name it must be said lol

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2012 23:26:30
just got a txt from a m8 in the know,he says an unknown club have tabled a 7.5 mill bid for hooper,board thinking it over if they can get 1 of the 3 targets lennon has given them klose,helmes,molina.hope this is not going to happen.but could explain why were after another striker.have you heard anything ed?

Believable6 Unbelievable7

May have been from an english club now the 2 russian teams interest in hooper was broke by myself 5 hours ago .....jw

Agree0 Disagree0

I was thinking the same thing! If Lennon does bring in another striker? That takes us up to 6! Was hoping it would be gorgeous George or stokes if it had to be!

Big bad john

Agree0 Disagree0

Lets just enjoy the moment of watching the manky mob fall apart ! :))

Agree0 Disagree0

If your mate was in the know as you say, he'd know who the club was.

Is Mark Wilson any good?just seen we (Leeds)have been linked with him,O'Dea has the odd good game for us,but does tend to lose concentration quite a lot. {Ed007's Note - Injury problems have held him back mate, if he can stay fit he will do a good job for you.}

Believable15 Unbelievable0

Wilson is a superb right back/central defender, problem being he's injury prone. But will be good signing for you's.

Good luck Wilson, will always be remembered at Paradise!

DazzaBhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Good honest player, unfortunately injuries have hampered his time here. he'll definitely do a job for you when h'es fully fit


taco

Agree0 Disagree0

Good hardworking right back dunno who youve got in that position just now but am sure he will do well there

Paddy

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with ed when hes fit he's good especially supporting the midfield with good runs

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO can't praise the guy enough - he was like a new signing last season, proved a hell of a lot of people wrong (who'd probably have flogged him in summer 2010) and a standout when he was given his chance in the team. When he wasn't getting picked at the start of this season I was curious to say the least and pretty gutted for the guy when I heard he was injured again.

Always gives 100%, excellent team player, decent all rounder at RB in terms of his ability and can play anywhere on the park really.

If he can stay fit and avoid getting yet another injury he'll be a cracking addition. I've heard it's just a loan deal (which I'd prefer as I'd like us to keep him) but his contract is up at the end of the season and to be fair a fresh start might help him overcome his injury problems.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mark Wilson is a great lad and I am sorry to see him go even on loan!. IMHO he wont stay fit. Dont expect him to play any more than 15-20 games for you but when he is fit he is Celtic class. He is very good when coming back form injury. My advice play him every sparingly. He has had another op recently so it may be this has resolved things I really hope so because as I said he is a great lad.Honestly if it hadn't been for injuries this guy would have played every week as he rarely had a bad game. He really was that good. One of his best games was against Man Utd at CP and he was outstanding that night. Good Luck Mark and good luck Leeds United (one of the few English teams I have a soft spot for) Sopot Celt

Agree0 Disagree0

Wee wilson is a quality player, wont let you down and will run his b****cks off,,little injury prone tho

Agree0 Disagree0

Now I know were geting treated to a 5page spread in tomorrows record but there is meant to be another big story which is possibly being held back, revolves around something fat sally has told a close friend and it could be the final nail in the coffin, Jim traynor knows that this could kill rangers and his own career possibly

Paddy {Ed007's Note - McCoist told a friend 'The Daily Record are sitting on a story. If they run with it the game's a bogey'.

As I hate starting a new point to reply to something else {Ed007's Note - That is something to do with phones OS mate, sorry. The story will probably be about the mortgaging of future revenue and possibly the non payment of PAYE and NI contributions.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Lokomotiv Moscow are lining up a £3million bid for Celtic's Anthony Stokes.

The 23-year-old has netted 17 times this season for the Hoops to attract the attention of the Russian club.

The Republic of Ireland international joined Celtic from Hibernian in 2010 and also had spells at Sunderland and Arsenal during his career.

Lokomotiv are currently sixth in the Russian Premier League.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

3m for each foot maybe.?

Agree0 Disagree0

There's no chance of that happening and especially not at the preposterously low amount mentioned here! Where was this reported or has someone been on the ganja? {Ed007's Note - There has been a bid.}

Southampton have signed Billy Sharp (striker) from Doncaster. That's two strikers they've now signed in this window, so should mean no return bid for Hooper.

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard the Russian transfer window has a few extra weeks so there would be no urgency even if he was going because he wouldn't need to leave before Tuesday. Take that story with a pinch of salt - sounds like a story to get Jellyfish off the headlines.

30 Jan 2012 20:28:07
Marc Janko hasn't signed for Porto yet!
I would love Lawwell to pull out the stops to sign him(exactly what we need for Champions league next season) but it's unlikely.
Here's Hoping! {Ed007's Note - He is in Portugal just now. Steve McClaren has said today that the player is not coming to CFC. The fee has been agreed with Porto of between 5-7 million Euros.}

Celtic have completed the six-month loan signing of Polish international striker Pawel Brozek.

The deal to take him from Turkish side Trabzonspor proceeded after the player passed a medical.

Manager Neil Lennon hopes Brozek, 28, can relieve some of the scoring burden on Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes.

"He's a goalscorer and he'll hopefully give the squad a bit of a jag. We're hoping he'll come in really hungry," Lennon said.

Brozek and twin brother Piotr, a defender, spent nine years with Wisla Krakow before both joined Trabzonspor last year.

Capped 32 times, the striker has scored eight international goals.

"He's had a good record in Poland," said Lennon. "Things haven't gone his way in Turkey but he's got the Euros coming up so he'll be very motivated to book a place for the Polish squad."

Believable7 Unbelievable2

30 Jan 2012 17:51:28

I would think that is about it for us with regards to transfers, I think Lenny and the board will be quite happy with our depth and quality at the moment. Would be surprised if anyone goes as Lenny has made it quite clear no one is for sale unless the offer is too good.

Can I just ask Ed do u know why klose has become available. I have just took a quick look at his goals rate for lazio and hes been fantastic. I personally would love him at cp he could obviously still do a job in spl if he can do it in italy. Not sure if he would want to come to scotland tho

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance man, love to see it but Nope. Never going to happen bud.
CB

Agree0 Disagree0

We will never get him he is 33 and still banging in the goals with Lazio. He will go for a big money move like one of the no so brilliant teams in the English Premier League.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with above. He will if he is like most modern day footballers milk the next club for every penny and get a bumper deal. I would have said Bolton last year but this year Stoke or even Sunderland. The fact that Celtic can offer much more in different ways does not seem to register with these guys. Of course modern day agents dont get paid for player well being and happiness so they convince them that the big money is all that matters. Players are not angels but agents are generally educated to a higher level and have the gift of the gab. I really dont like football agents, like 2nd rate journalists many are 2nd rate lawyers and work actively against the interests of the game. Sopot Celt

Was at the game yesterday not the most enjoyable but a win is all that is needed in a semi final but what I've been thinking is we really need another winger because Ledley out on the left doesn't provide much and we can keep relying on Forrest, commons might be back to his old self but I think we should make an audacious bid of 500k for templeton
Frankie Bhoy

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Agreed, if hes available , would like to see brought in

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont think Templeton is any better than anything we've got. If he was he would at least have been included in a scotland squad before now!

Celtic line up deadline day loan bid for wolfsburg striker Patrick Helmes

Believable6 Unbelievable11

30 Jan 2012 15:24:31
Apparently Lenny is looking at a last minute bid for one of the following:

Patrick Helmes - Wolfsburg
Marc Janko - FC Twente
Jorge Molina - Real Betis

(Evening Times website). Personally I think helmes is a non starter and molina would be the most realistic but the board may surprise us by splashing the cash to try and get janko. I dont think he has actually signed for Porto yet. He would be my top choice.
Kevbhoy {Ed007's Note - Janko has signed for Porto Kev.}

Believable3 Unbelievable4

That's what happens when you get excited and hope that we actually may sign a top player! Sopot Celt. PS I should know better by now!!

Agent for Molina states discussions at an 'Advanced' stage.

Translated from Spanish Media.

Both clubs are, according to the player's agent, in the middle of negotiations so that all Scottish services is made with green and white football player.

[30/1/2012] Toni Quintero commented a week ago and some British media's interest in Celtic signing of Jorge Molina, Betis player. At that time, transcended even the amount that could perceive the club Betis: 2.5 million euros.

But now, in the absence of little more than a day to close the winter break, the player's agent, Domingo Sevillano, has made some statements which ensures that Neil Lennon, the Scottish coach, want to Molina .œIt is the striker who has asked have expressed.

According to the footballer's own representative, negotiations are well advanced and are being entirely between the two entities.Jorge has dropped its claim for the Celtic can bid a higher amount, said the agent, who also added that œdoes not mind staying at Betis.

In the coming hours might Jorge Molina out of the discipline that leads Pepe Mel way to Glasgow, in what would be, if confirmed, a profitable transaction for both parties.

Just a thought here but if McCourt does go why dont we look to replace him with the guy Feinduno from Sion. He tore us apart when we played them and he's now a free agent after having his contrat terminated when Sion were docked 36 points. I think he would be worth a punt but maybe Ibrahim will just take up that role.

Gary

Big question is though would Sion do business with us?!

Agree0 Disagree0

We already had the chance to sign him in the summer. We couldn't afford his wage demands.

If he's a free agent, then Sion wouldn't be doing business with us!
Personally I think (and hope) that Ibrahim gets the nod, hearing really good things about the kid, and he cost us nothing.

EVERTON are increasingly hopeful of clinching a deal for Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic after David Moyes moved to bolster his forward line.
An initial bid was lodged yesterday using the proceeds of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov’s £5million move to Spartak Moscow, but Everton are likely to go to about £6m including add-ons.
Jelavic, 26, has told Rangers’ boss Ally McCoist he wants to move to Goodison Park and solve Moyes’ painstaking search for reinforcements that has seen him check on the likes of Wolves’ Kevin Doyle.

Headlines in todays Daily Record.

CELTIC boss Neil Lennon hopes to pull off one final deadline-busting swoop to sign giant Austrian striker Marc Janko.

Record Sport can reveal Parkhead chief executive Peter Lawwell was locked in talks with FC Twente over the weekend in a bid to thrash out a deal for the prolific 6ft 6in hitman.

Celtic – who yesterday lined up a League Cup Final clash with Kilmarnock by seeing off Falkirk – have agreed a deal to land Trabzonspor striker Pawel Brozek on loan but that won’t stop them trying to sign Janko.

However, the chances of the Hoops pulling it off are being complicated.

Porto are also talking to Twente and are prepared to meet the £4.2million asking price, leaving Celtic to pray the Portuguese side’s negotiations fail.

There is also interest in the 28-year-old from the Premier League, with Fulham and Stoke believed to be at the negotiating table. But it is understood the battle for his signature is between Celtic and Porto.

Sources in Holland believe at least two firm offers have been tabled and stress Celtic are in the thick of the battle to land the player with a spectacular scoring record.

Janko hit 75 goals in 108 games with Red Bull Salzburg in Austria before moving to Holland for £4.5m in 2010.

Twente are keen to recoup as much as possible of that but may be prepared to send him on loan until summer then thrash out a deal.

He has bagged 24 goals in 44 games for the Dutch club and still has more than two years left on his contract.

Twente are willing to let him move on in search of a regular starting place and the striker knows he would be almost guaranteed that at Parkhead.

But Lennon is concerned the price could go sky high because of the competition.

Jungle Bhoy.

Hope we do something about Templeton and/or the young striker Donnelly from Airdrie (even if we loan him back again) as they would be good additions.
Obviously we have a number of surplus players on the pay-role at present and you would imagine that they would be offered as part of any transfer activity in the last couple of 'windows' so we might have to practically give them away to make room for better replacements. Sadly there are a few who would run down the contract and take the money rather than play elsewhere every week.
