Wouldn't mind a Bellamy of 6 years ago but sick of players deciding to come to Celtic for an easy ride and hero status for example both Keane's. Would rather the large amount on wages went towards contract extensions or a new goal keeper or a permenant striker.


Hail Hail

Man City want 2 sell Bellamy NOT loan him again West Ham are favourites to sign him

Most folk on the cardiff city site are saying bellamy going to celtic is virtually a done deal, also say that goodwillies booked in for a medical at cardiff

How can you turn round and say you dont want bellamy, hes double the player gary hooper will ever be, take ure head out ure a*se and wake up

A few yeears ago but his knees are screwed would only play half the games if that

No chance whatsoever hes signing for west ham

By all accounts if Bellamy does sign it will be as a permanent player as Man City want him off their books plus I believe that Bellamy is trying to get them to cancel his contract. So hopefully that means we may be in with a good chance.

To the guy who said Bellamy is double the player Hooper is, maybe a few years ago but never now, Hoopers goal to game ratio at Scunthorpe is far better than Bellamys and Hooper was in a struggling team fighting relegation, and Bellamy in a top championship team fighting for promotion, so double the player i think not my friend.

The newspapers in Cardiff have Celtic picking up 75% of 90k and Bellamy training in Cardiff and flying up for games. IF (a big one) true, I would rather spend the money on keeping Izzie and Kayal happy.

I would rather spend the money on keeping Izzie and Kayal happy.

yeah agree with this will be annoyed if one of them are soled while we blow lots of wages on bellamy who will give us 1 maybey 2 good seasons

I dont think we should spend huge amounts on his wages, we need to focus on bringing in young players on lower wages like we did with kayal and izzy, thats the way forward for celtic.

Bellamy has said that he wants to return to parkhead source: evening times

Hi Ed, Rumours in Liverpool about them making a move for Izaguire, have you heard any such rumours and if so, how much?...HOOPIE007.... {Ed007's Note - The fee being bandied about is £11 million. How much truth there is in the rumour is another matter mate. He has been linked with PSG, Bordeaux, MUFC and now LFC (among many others) in the last month. If I find out anything I will let you guys know right away.}

Hi ed marty bhoy here as I said before yes I'd take the money for them both its a BUSSINESS, with that kind of money it opens the floodgates for potential transfers
specially broonie {Ed007's Note - Evening Marty, I would hate to lose Izaguirre, especially to LFC (I have been going on about him on the Man Utd site as a replacement for Evra next summer) but if that kind of money is being offered he will be leaving I would imagine.}

It would be a blow if he went because then Charlie Mulgrew would have to fill in at LB again. But business is business. I miss McGeady but we got a fair price for him and Commons has proved to be a great replacement. 11 million would be tough to turn down

He's the new Lee naylar, world class one season, ordinary the next.

CELTICNEWS,
Sunderland prepared to bid for scott brown , there offer will be hard for celtic to turn down Player plus cash or just cash its up to celtic , offer over 6m........ASWEDE

Where did this come from, and what player would we be getting.

6m more like 2m at best....he come second in a one horse title race, rangers are a bad team and celtic were runners up last three years...good team lol

I thought it was made pretty clear that Broon was going nowhere, made by himself and the management, FFS he's gonna sign a new 5yr contract

This coming from a guy whos team took el hadj diouf on loan, what a player LOL couldnt lace Broonys boots.And did Rangers not try to sign him when they bought Thompson but they couldnt, because they couldnt afford him so they got the poor mans Broony at half the price Broony cost. MACCA

rumours going round merseyside that king kenny is going to bid £8m for brown

Haha that is funny, scott brown is a terrible footballer, king kenny would not touch him with a barge poll. probably the most ridiculous rumor I have heard this window

Brown hahahahahaha 8 million, i'd take him down myself, on my back, to get him out of scottish football altogether hahahahahahaha an attacking midfielder that has scored about 6 goals in 4 and a half years, and had 1 decent season last year against a poor rangers side, that went on to won the league for the 3rd year rolling........brown must stay, plank of wood {Ed007's Note - You have totally contradicted yourself by saying you would take him to England on your back, then saying Brown must stay?? Just to clarify though, when has Brown been regarded as an attacking midfielder?}

Brown not as good as he thinks he is, if someone was stupid enough to pay over£5million, take it

What a mean is, if i were a celtic fan, and any team offered even 2 million for brown, i'd take him on my back down there myself, i'm not, so i'm hoping he stays, and to correct you on the attacking midfielder sitution, he's been playing as an attacking midfielder for celtic since he's came, it's only been the tail end of last season, that they'v been playing him on the right, and even at that, going forward, he's embarrassing, and dont even get me started on his (so called defending)...he's on 25 grand a week, better players up there and around him are on far less......... {Ed007's Note - If you aren't a CFC fan why is he embarrassing you? But if we ever need anyone to give him a piggy back anywhere I will let you know.}

A didnt say he was embarrasing me ed, i just think its embarrassing that some celtic fans even rate him, honestly mate, he runs about the hole 90 minutes, yeah ok, but thats just not good enough, i'd like to find out how many assists he's even had in this 4 and a half years at the club.... {Ed007's Note - If you find out let us know, that is the most dire statistic to creep up in football, it bores me to tears mate. If you put David Beckham in his prime in an Motherwell team, would their strikers top the scoring chart? The assist stat depends on the quality of striker you are crossing into etc. If you cross the ball to a Hartson/Sutton even Mark Hateley there is a chance they will get on the end of it, if your strikers aren't very good in the air, your assists ratio goes down.}

Yeah fair point there, but ur doing everything you can to back the guy up, and fair play to you, that's you'r team, but in case's like these, there's to many grey areas on this lad, to even TRY had fight his corner, av stated 4 or 5 good stats, about brown, and you had to bring in top class players, and old 1s at that, to TRY and back him up, and that to me, tells me that you, yourself, know's that brown himself, isnt worth ANYWHERE near the millions, thats getting branded about for the player.... {Ed007's Note - I have said before he needs to knuckle down and concentrate harder on the game. He has not became the player everybody expected but I still think he offers a lot to the team. Fans of every club have a whipping boy it just seems a section of the CFC fans have chosen Brown. Football needs players like him that do the hard "dirty" work, it might not be pretty or glamourous but Brown will always stand up and be counted. If NL sees him as a CFC captain, he must have something, NL knows what it takes to do that job.}

Ok fair enough, and a do agree with the whipping boys at every club, and to be fair, he had a decent season last season, so we can wait and see what he brings to the table next season, but a still dont think he's worth a bumper new 5 year contract, he should be pleading with celtic, and the celtic fans, to give him another chance, never mind telling them not to worry, i'm going nowhere.
