any truth ed in the rumours that bangura is on his way out {Ed001's Note - I haven't heard anything about it, though, if it is a recent development, I have been a bit busy over the last day or two to keep up with much to be fair.}

Be no great loss, hasn't exactly set the heather on fire, are we sure henrik recommended him? Know hes scored in bounce games but for price we paid he should be better,

Only signed the guy in August think he should be given a chance to play before hes written off!

Give the guy a chance, he hasn't played a run of games yet as hooper, stokes & samaras have all done really well ! He will get his chance & I think he will take it. He looks really strong & quick. I have spoken to some of the guys he played against in the bounce games & they said at times he was un

Sorry un playable the last post was meant to say

He will most likley start against peterhead nxt wk,,,ano ther no the best team but it will give us a glimpse of wot he is capable of

His first touch is rank rotten, reminds me of beattie, and for a striker to have a poor first touch, you might as well not bother playing.

summed up in the killie game when he tried to control the ball inside the box dropping to him, ball ended up 15 yards away. i say cut our losses now

Aye and every1 that come to celtic starts off amazing banging the goals in, did i hear Larsson? Hartson?

Although he scored 2 against morton in bounce game, one of the morton players told me he was poor overall. He'll not get into our team.

At least larsson and hartson looked like players and had a good first touch, i've seen absolutely nothing of bangura to even suggest he is a professional footballer

Id get rasmussen back and give him a chance! he never got a run and did score in the games he started! i really think he could really do us a job! what everyone else think? as for bangura am not convinced at all by him!

Larsson had world cups behind him and hartson a good scoring record at arsenal, west ham etc, if bangura was any good he, d be doing it in training , he's had long enough to prove himself, would rather have Paul George in the team , cut losses quickly , no better than daryl murphy or killen,

How do u know hes not doin it in training? how long is long enough to prove yourself? hes doing it in bounce games, which with our forwards current form is all he can do, dont write off a guy thats had 10 15 20 mins of games, he needs consistency and that comes from playing ala Mr Mccourt. despise fans writing players off without getting a proper chance, were you one of those 'fans' calling for Lennons head during the bad run? have a word with yourself!

For 2 mill plus hes played 8 plus games and not scored, i for one cant wait til he does

Played 8 games, which equates to 10, 15 20 mins here and there not starts, how can you possibly write off someone on that basis? im sticking with him to prove himself, as the scouting system so far seems to producing the goods, kayal, wanyama, mathews, izzy, hooper!

Could see him going out on loan. Needs game time and not likely to get it here IMO...

gary hooper wants to continue his career at celtic and is very keen to get a new deal with the club. Diawarra looks to be like a potential target after interest in the summer but the fee for the striker seem to be on the increase whith a 2.5 million bid form monoco rejected! carlos cuellar is reportedly sparked interest at parkhead but i cant see a deal being made there, jordan rhodes doesnt look to be for sale in january and will not come to celtic in the summer, best bets are west ham or bolton! also Rafik Halliche of fulham and Wes Morgan of Nottingham forrest are reportadly seing some interest from mr lennon!

What about st ledger from Leicester now he's been transfer listed? I think he would be a good shout and not likely to cost much

Baba diawara's price hasnt increased because celtic have first option on him and should bid around 3 million, as far as i mind that was the fee that was agreed in the summer

It was but his club hav decided 2 scrap the first option deal as it was not in writing and alot of clubs r showing interest,,,so it will b a case of whose willing 2 pay the most so a cant c us getting involved in a bidding war

No way celtic will get in a bidding war, its not as though the guys record is amazing hes scored 44 goals since 2008? not exactly setting the heather on fire is it!

What is all this b.s with diawara. In the end Celtic will not go for him coz they are to stingy to pay over 3m for a player

Its not that they are too stingy but Celtic have a budget too and also have their own valuation of each player, this guys record this season is the best hes ever produced so far, maybe celtic dont wanna spend more than their valuation of a player based on 1 good season!

Yea and rangers aint stingy at all hence why they are now in the predicament they are in, it's all good spending 4 million on average player's but stop whinging when it bites you on the ar5e!

templeton to sign in the next week as commons heads south along with paddy.sandaza also being looked at

When u say Paddy r u referring to McCourt? I think the lad has 2 move as he's getting no playing time, pity.

Maybe sandaza could be interesting rangers but templeton wont be coming to celtic and commens will probably remain at the club!

Not sure I'd be keen on sandaza - having a good season but would rather have templeton

Paddy (mccourt) cash in now as never likely to get a game, templeton only if commons leaves, sandaza = no

Lot of s**te as hes not even spoke to anyone from Celtic

Commons is goin no were (fact) he has said he loves playing under lennon and the fans are his best freind

St Ledger has been transfer listed after a bust-up with manager. Watch this space as NL was after him.

fatbhoy67.HH.

No chance he is getting 20k a week too much to pay an unproven player!!!

What do you mean unproven? He's an Irish international and part of the team that qualified for the upcoming euros. Don't think he is unproven and I'd be happy to have him at the celts

Ed has there been any contact with aldo de nigris since the summer NL says strong and tall are what he's lookin for wadda ya think?

love te site HH {Ed001's Note - nothing, the fact that he is not a young lad seems to be putting off the bids, hence why he openly talked up interest during the summer.}

Why are people going on about this guy hardly scored a goal in his life. Check his stats, on a par wae samaras or even worse

2002–2007 Tigres 86 (9) 2007–2008 Veracruz 28 (7) 2008 Necaxa 8 (0) 2009 → Monterrey (loan) 38 (16) 2010– Monterrey 47 (14)

How could this guy improve us :/ doesn't score enough

Aldo De Nigris creates space for others, it seems that he doesn't score enough, but when he gets a chance he usually slots it, also he is not the main figure striker at monterrey, Chupete Suazo is. So given a chance I think De Nigris could help a team like Celtic or even a mid table la liga or EPL team.
