Ed I know you said there is no chance Will Grigg will sign for us but it seems to be popping up on a few sites saying a deal is very close, is there any truth in this?

Grigg said himself he's concentrating on the euros. He'd be mental to sign with us before that (if we give him the chance) . Can u imagine the reception he'd get from the ni fans if he became a celtic before the tournament? Can't imagine they'd accept that can u?

If we can Brendan Rodgers as manager there's no reason we can't get a Wigan player.

Bigmcgrory they're in the Championship now are they not? That's a league with serious money. They could probably pay more than us in wages now unless we were to make Grigg our highest paid player which I couldn't see happening.

There's no way in hell grigg is on big on big money at Wigan! No chance! I'd never even heard of the guy til a couple of months ago! And that was because of a song about him! We need better quality than this guy in if u ask me! And to suggest we couldn't afford or would struggle to get him is nonsense! The reason he won't be coming to us is because Brendan will hopefully be looking for a higher quality of player!

Think we have to stop shooting players down before they even sign because we have never heard of them, look at the people we have brought in before and been absolutely brilliant for us not knowing a single thing about them. larsson, Lubo, Nakamura, Hooper, Wanyama, McDonald list go's on i think he would do the business for us given a chance I back Rodgers and he's decisions think it's going to be a good season ahead 6 in a row one of the two cups "preferably 2 of them" and a good run in Europe Will Griggs on Fire! Hail Hail.

I think you could drop McDonald from the list it is to our eternal misfortune that most Celtic fans certainly did know a fair bit about him before we signed him 😞.

Dh88 we can't compete with Championship money, end of. Ross McCormack went for about £12M down there recently.

Just seen a paper has started linking us Steven fletcher this morning!!
Can't wait till he retires and we stop hearing about that dud!

Could be something in it this time with him being a free agent. BR in charge and the Rangers back, twilight of his career - could happen.

DG's cousin was under the impression last week he was close to joining. Not sure what's happening there but neither really gets the pulses going.

Fletcher career is a total myth
The guy never scores goals
His agent should be running the country if he can get people to spend that type of money on that clown.

Agree3 Disagree3

We've been linked with him for nearly ten years now and looking at his record over a decade would suggest we made the right decision - not just because of his goals to games ratio, but because of his injury problems.
Too late now imo and we should be looking at younger more mobile and powerful front men.

Agree with that these papers must be struggling for things to report and they even come up with Danny Graham wanted also these papers must be desperate.

I posted a few months ago about this. I was told that it's a done deal but I really hope it's not!

Agree1 Disagree1

Its a load of mince. If he did sign, i would be very worried as to whether BR is the right manager to take us forward.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - If Fletcher signs it's a clear indication that the new manager isn't in control of transfers. With Fletcher being out of contract this is Lawwell and Park's perfect chance to finally get their man after courting him for years. Yet another signing from Park's time at Hibs.}

31 May 2016 15:47:52
I can't understand why Park is still here. Surely Rodgers has connections that would be a far better option.

Agree2 Disagree1

31 May 2016 17:19:02
That's a great point Ed; I hope once BR has his feet under the table a wee while and gains some clout he can get shot of Park - although he seems to have the ear (and fountain pen) of PL and will take some shifting.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - We're linked with him every window and I don't believe for a minute that he would be on any list of potential targets that Rodgers would have in mind.}

What I am sick of is other agents using our club is a selling point for their clients to get moves to other clubs by using Celtic links to get them either move or better deals. Next it will be Southampton wanting Rogic or Biton.

John park should have got the bullet ages ago! Our transfer dealings especially in the last 2 years has been nothing short of criminal! Ciftci scepovic Cole CKR to name a few! And to have one striker of any note in a squad that contains nearly enough midfielders to make 2 teams is scandalous! It will be interesting to see how Brendan deals with this clown!

That's what I can think of off top of my head.
What has that cost in fees, wages etc? The few big transfer fees he gets credit for have well sucked up these costs.

Forwards have been a huge signing negative but if you dig further and look at all our signings the question which needs addressed is why Parks still in a job, a simple kpi would and should have addressed this long before now.

Alarming to see it in black and white stevo.

The worst part of the above is that Nadir Cifti cost Celtic the same money as the entire Rangers squad!
