Well everyone after today's Greece game, any chance of selling big Sammy
just went out the window.... Timalloy

Believable14 Unbelievable11

Early days Tim..you know what Sammy's like.

I'll be glad to see the Czech Republic get gubbed especially with the cheat Rezek playing ! Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

Was just thinking the same bud he was very poor!

BarryBhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I think your right mate. He was shocking. Just goes to show how bad defenders are in the SPL

Agree0 Disagree0

Also glad the Czechs got what they deserved. On the other point I did not think Sammy was as bad as you guys saw it, yeah he showed his usual flaws but he also dug in a bit and made a few tackles and he showed some nice touches. Sopot Celt

Agree0 Disagree0

Thought samaras had a good game today he was on of the best players for Greece and put in effort and as usually he missed sitters

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO that's a good thing...don't wana sell the big guy. Yes he can be very frustrating at times but he can also be fantastic when he gets going. Also for the plain fact that he seems to realise that it's a privilege to pull they hoops on and he's at the biggest club he's ever going to play for. Some others could learn a thing or two from him in that respect

Mikey Bhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats a wee bit harsh bhoys and ghirls sammy was easily one of our best players in the second half of the season and i wouldnt ant to sell him !
chalky bhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't want Sammy sold either, I'll be quite happy if we hang onto him :-) Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought sammy was 1 of greece's best players, especially first half when he seemeed the only Greek player interested! Never a striker but can be awesome at times!

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO I don't really see what Sammy brings to any team, IMO he isn't good enough his inconsistency is the main thing! People are saying he was great second half of the season, what did he do exactly scored 4 goals all season? This guys a striker?

Agree0 Disagree0

He was the same as he played for us lazy and selfish maybe as the tourney goes on he'll get a WEE BIT BETTER LOL

Agree0 Disagree0

Pretty sure he was playing left wing for most of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

A think most of us realised a long time ago that Samaras isn't a goalscorer so your argument about 4 goals is a bit weak. There's a lot more to his game than some of you give credit for. He creates goals, in fact i'm pretty sure he had most assists last season, which is a what you expect from what is effectively your left winger. He is also an out ball, can hold play up and bring others into it while doing so. I would be happy to see him sign another contract tommorow and no I am not his lawyer/agent, just a fully fledged member of Team Samaras

Mikey Bhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Al be 1st to admit am the big guys biggest critic but wee need to keep him he was great for us last season as for the 4 goals for a striker wee and everyone else nos the big guys no a striker put him out left and if will cut in and torment right backs all day long and probably provided hoops and stokes wi half there goals last season. and he wants to play for celtic that means more than anything. mikeybhoy27

Agree0 Disagree0

Sammy himself has said in interviews he is not a striker, he is a winger. Any time we play him wide he does a job for us, up front in a striker role and he does not look comfortable, less so when playing on his own. Surely that's as much Lennon's fault as Sammy's, persisting with him as a lone striker when he obviously isn't cut out for that position??

Agree0 Disagree0

His outball? As in the 2nd touch a tackle out ball? Or as in the guy who is 6"2 or something and turns to the smallest guy in the park with a crossed ball, would be happy to let him go,

Agree0 Disagree0

Sammy was there best player, his touch and control was good, made good runs and put in more effort than any other greece player. he made one poor pass and had two s**t shots. some people will never like him because they are just stupid

Agree0 Disagree0

Sammi will always split the support . im a fan and i think he gets a tough time.

Agree0 Disagree0

At least saving 100k in wages....

Believable14 Unbelievable5

Thats a bit frighting that if they all got 10k PW its 100k alone is people who dont get a game !

lenny

Agree0 Disagree0

Richie towel? thats 6 quid saved on the wage bill
he set up mccourt once. more than ive ever done tho.
i liked morten rasmussen just when ur nicknamed after a ferguson of any kind ur not going to suceed at the hoops
shame juarez wasnt of izzy or kayal quality the scouts had picked. inconsistancy i say ;p

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 18:26:34
that 20 year old centre back greece have got papadopadopolous (spelling lol) looks quite solid, Antony

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Plays for Schalke. We wont be getting him.

Agree0 Disagree0

He could be the "big name" signing we all want... LOL Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Seen him playing a few times for shalke on espn, solid player an only gonna get better, only 20, but way out our price range already

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance he'd come to spl, already established in germany. {Ed007's Note - Where did anyone mention him coming to the SPL?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Is he not the baddy out of TinTin?

Time for John Kennedy to be
the top Bhoy
DAVIE HAY today called on Celtic to hand John Kennedy the chance to replace Alan Thompson in Neil Lennon's coaching team.
The former Hoops boss has watched the 28- year-old in action and has been seriously impressed. Hay revealed he can even see similarities with the career curve of Pep Guardiola, though he stopped short of claiming
Kennedy is anywhere near the level of the man who led Barcelona to Champions League glory.

hail hail

Marco1888

Believable12 Unbelievable8

Sorry, a great servant for us but too young in his career yet. Was the same when I thought Lenny was too new at the job so I wouldnt like to put the guy forward too soon.

We need experience right now but hopefully the next time something comes up....?

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 16:17:56
well we've all known for a while that a clearout was required, now we're well and truly getting one. cha gon now aswell, juarez for quite a few quid was fantastic. that on top of, m.wilson, loovens, big danny, cervi, mcginn. Murphy and rasmussen would be great to leave aswell. lets build our squad for the champs league now, not having players sitting there that have no chance of playing...forgot bout o'dea going aswell.

Believable17 Unbelievable0

Get rid of deadwood, keep all our stars and bring a few quality players (rhodes and henriksen) and that will be grand :)

Agree0 Disagree0

I would add either Hoopy the Huddle Hound or Paddy McCourt to the list as the team only need 1 mascot!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 15:21:51
to the newcastle fan since coming into league football the lowest tally hooper has had is 11 in a season while best has only got out of single figures twice in his career, hoopers average is a goal every 1.9 games , bests is a goal every 4.1 games.

Believable9 Unbelievable4

Please dont get involved with Newcastle fans they are totaly deluded

Agree0 Disagree0

But they recognise that Best is scoring goals against a defence, whereas Hooper....Need I say more! {Ed007's Note - Yes, I think you do.......

Agree0 Disagree0

Usual English Supremacy. Hooper is a good striker who would score anywhere. Best struggled in the Championship to score goals, how did Hooper do? Id lay off the Broon Ale.

VictorsGonnaeGetYou

Agree0 Disagree0

What was "Best"s excuse when he was in the lower English leagues or did those lower teams have world class defenders as well. Stan

Agree0 Disagree0

I am a Newcastle fan from Scotland and i think that it does take more to score in the PL! IF Hooper moves south then i think he would be on about 9 goals a season! just my thoughts! {Ed007's Note - So is that about two Andy Carrolls worth? I'll take that 70 million, and not even moan about losing Hooper.}

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 15:05:10
The rumours about markus henriksen have been on the down low lately any news Ed?

GaryBhoy67 {Ed007's Note - I don't know of any change in the situation Gary. There are still other teams interested, most notably from PSV, Brugge and Schalke.}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

No problem Ed, cheers!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 15:04:39

{Ed007's Note - Evinguu, I am working on setting up a CFC videos section just now, that is why your post hasn't went up. It should have worked but I 'lost' the video. Once it is up and running I will post it up.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Cheers Ed, can see it on the new section now, good show oor Ed yet another good addition to the site!

It was a cracking documentary so is worth a watch for anyone. Christ even Timalloy gets mentioned near the end well i say mentioned more just his name gets used, but Timalloy if you read this you have a claim to fame!

Evinguu {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. I'm not sure how it will run, it might be slow to load the page with the amount of data needing to load but I will try and sort out any glitches.}

Agree0 Disagree0

You should have a comments section similar to the ones on the sightings page Ed.Well found Evinguu.

Jungle Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - Give me a chance lol!!!! I am still losing videos I am trying to post to somewhere???}

Agree0 Disagree0

ED007, well done on this video section, you will have a lot to choose from, if you can find the Di Stefano testimonial, you would make a lot of Celtic fans happy.
Evinguu, you should know by now the "Timalloy" is "Omnipresent" ha ha, even the Thai Tims sing about me..
LOL Timalloy ( available for most charity events and shop openings..) {Ed007's Note - Thanks Tim.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry mate.Think the section is a fantastic idea.The possibilities are endless,Lisbon highlights,Jock Stein,Jinky,Tommy Burns Henrik,etc.How would we go about posting stuff?

JB {Ed007's Note - Just send the links in and I will embed the videos mate. I will try and keep it to longer videos so that it isn't clogged up by 2 mins showing a goal or that. I will add some myself (one should be there already).

Agree0 Disagree0

Here ed this is " wee pats vidyoh shoap in sarrie" it mite huv escaped yur notis bit wen ye took oot the video ye promist tae return it within 3 daysur ye loose yur 100 deposit, {Ed007's Note - The police took the video, I think you better get that camera out of that ladies changing rooms wee man. It seems that women and the police aren't keen on us doing it after all.}

Cha Du Ri has signed a two year deal with Fortuna Dusseldorf

Believable14 Unbelievable4

His massive grin will be missed. Good luck Cha.

TerribleBeauty

Agree0 Disagree0

Not the best player but always gave 100% good luck cha

Agree0 Disagree0

All the best cha :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Well done Cha for all your efforts. Yes, not the best but gave it all and ran up and down every park he played on for 90 mins. Without an EBT as well, sheer dedication.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2012 13:44:43
Just read on a celtic news site that the dufus that is cha du ri has left to join a team in the bundesleiga, Fortuna dusseldorf.....good luck to him and them, they'll need it with him on there books, cant fault his work rate but jeezo he was a disaster.....any news of any incoming transfers ed? Sean

Believable7 Unbelievable6

No need to be harsh mate. But I'll join you in wishing him luck for the future, hope the move goes well for him :)

Newcastle fan here, rumours that you are sniffing around Leon Best. Been very unlucky at Toon due to form of Ba and Cisse but offers a lot, 90 mins workrate,strong in the air and excellent finisher. Maybe lacks a little pace but feed him in the box and he will hit the net. Look at his goals to games stats in our colours. Be an excellent signing for you. Personnaly i would keep him but understand his need for 1st team action. This boy is 3 times the player Hooper is and he done ok for you.

Believable6 Unbelievable24

Oh yeh his scoring record really shows he's 3 times the player Hooper is

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that you Leon? You're kidding no one with that mate, .it's Bristol for you n even then you're overachieving

Jamie Mac(you're sh1t Leon)

Agree0 Disagree0

Best has done it in English Premier League, Hooper has done it in Lower English leagues and SPL. No contest, Best is proven at the Top Level while Hooper has only done it in second stage football.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop talking mince mate!

Byars38625

Agree0 Disagree0

"done it in English Premier League" he's scored 10 goals in the EPL if that so I would hardly say he's "done it". He is not proven at all and his record as a striker is rubbish. Hooper is already 3 times the player that dud is even though he plays in SPL

Agree0 Disagree0

Best has proven at the top level that he can't cut it at the top level. He is p1sh.

Whether you compare Hooper to Best or not it is irrelevant, Best is still p1sh.

K-Dot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopper has played in europa league and champions league , when did best do that .
and i'm sure that his goal to game ratio is about a goal every two games and best is only a goal every four . he is by far a better player than best

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol the arogance of a typical english over inflated dull premiership fan

Agree0 Disagree0

As a resident of the North East I can confirm that every Geordie fan I know all think Best is absolute gash - and they are right. Kevslug.

Agree0 Disagree0

Go away bonnie lad your just trying to get rid of a dud

Agree0 Disagree0

He's garbage, lenny should steer well clear

Agree0 Disagree0

Biggest load of p*sh I've read yet...up there with all the Gary Caldwell posts...

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

Gary caldwell posted this from his ipad, i saw him do it, he was in the wee train at mcdonalds eatin chicken nugget happy meal. he dropped his ipad to play with mcmanus and maloney and their new ben10 toys

Agree0 Disagree0

seen Mcfadden in Daily Express saying he would consider a move to Scotland or England now he is a free agent does anyone think he could do a job for us ?

Believable2 Unbelievable35

Guys like him & leon best we can do without

Agree0 Disagree0

To the above reply i forgot to put caldwell in there with mcfadden and best

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he could potentialy do a tremendous job for us, providing the job you're referring to entails keeping our physios busy during the course of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

Would maybe have McFadden depending on wages, something different although would you get more game time or ability from him than paddy?
Second thoughts- stick with paddy, he has had chances to go n said no. McFadden had chances to come n said no.
Bristol for you too faddy

Jamie Mac ( hates chancers)

Agree0 Disagree0

PLEASE stop the crap if thats the.BEST pardon the pun,THE HOOPS CAN DO, play the KIDS .

Agree0 Disagree0

Please god NO he's as slow as a week in the jail and tuurns like a corporation bus

Agree0 Disagree0

Good years are behind him

Agree0 Disagree0

Would be fantastic experience for any apprentice medical staff at Paradise. Kevslug.

Agree0 Disagree0

Remember mcfadden saying he didn,t want anything to do with the baggage that goes with the old firm forget him he,s past it

Agree0 Disagree0

Could not agree more with other poster's he's past his best

Agree0 Disagree0

He can go to fu@k he's had his chance and knocked us back (ment to be a tim lol)

Agree0 Disagree0

No to mc fadden

Agree0 Disagree0

Nope

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

Mcfadden has had 3 opportunities to sign for us and on eac occassion chose another team.
everton first, then birmingham (who were in the championship) then everton again.
if this wee "celtic fan" wants to join now i would give it a big no.
tommy burns hit the nail on the head with kevin gallagher....."you only get one chance to sign for a club like celtic" GBTB
frankiebhoy

I thought as much was just wondering if you all felt the same think he was putting out feelers

'Apparantly' reports in France linking Celtic with GFCO Ajaccio striker Quentin Boesso. I've never heard of the team never mind the player but hey ho...Mrs E

Believable8 Unbelievable4

He looks decent has scored a few but plays with Ajacio, but are they not lower league in france? Another find by Park and Lenny hopefully!

DazzaBhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Ajaccio is on Corsica which is to France what Sicily is to Italy. Boesso is being touted as the next Olivier Giroud who has just helped win the French Ligue 1 for unfancied Montpeiler and who now looks set for a big-money move to the EPL. Ironically, Celtic could have bought Giroud two years ago for a measly 2m when he was playing for 2nd Division side Tours but they reportedly dragged their feet, allowing Montpelier to nip in. Pity, because he is exactly what Celtic need - a big, strong forward; technically gifted and with an eye for goal. At least we managed to get Mo Bangura instead.... {Ed007's Note - Giroud is 25 and Boesso is 26. Isn't the 'next' someone usually a good bit younger than who they are supposed to become?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Think i'd rather take my chances with the lower French league unknown players than some of the rumoured players we've been linked with. Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

Whos "we" mrs e you n yur man?

Agree0 Disagree0

Giroud i always sign in pro evo
awesome.
this quentin cat doesnt sound like what i want at parkhead, we need a new jvoh or sutton/hartson esque player

Agree0 Disagree0

First time poster here - top site btw!

Was speaking to a colleague down south today who's daughter was at a party last weekend at Jordan Rhodes parents house. As a Huddersfielf fan he asked Rhodes father regarding Jordan's plans and was told that Fulham looked favourite to sign him at the moment. Although it was a brief conversation there was no mention of the hoops!!
My mate who watches him week in week out thinks he would be magnificent for us..........

LOGIEBHOY

Believable3 Unbelievable11

I thought it was his daughter who was at the party?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yup my aunties cousins dog walker was at that party to

Edd7 : Do you have info on the return of Caldwell? Word on the streets of Wigan is that the deal is almost done?
(fingers crossed)
I for one think that it will be a bonus to the squad next season For all Caldwell's faults I'd still say he's a better CB than any of our current ones! he does give 100%,
Premier League Captain, goals against the likes of France and Liverpool. How can that not be a good signing.

MR Green Fingers

Believable6 Unbelievable19

Is that you Gary???lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Well you managed 1 post without mentioning this turd Caldwell.

The local Brownies have better CB's than him, he's Gash...end of!!

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

Have you taken leave of your senses ? Is your memory that short ? The very thought of that bomb scare returning has ruined my lunchtime.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hello Iam a wigan fan can you stop all this and leave gary alone we want him here .so go away.....please god please...co

Agree0 Disagree0

To be honest, i think Heed as a sweeper in a back 3 might be quite good!
Dont think he was as bad as some of you seem to remember!
Wasnt he a BIG part of our team that got to last 16 of champ league??

Agree0 Disagree0

If he's not being red-carded, he's scoring in the wrong net. Nooooo, please don't bring Calamity Caldwell back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bob Malcolm hut the bar against man utd, does this mean he's worth a look?

Jamie Mac

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe Premier league football has improved him. He seemed to do ok in a Team successfully fighting for their lives.

Agree0 Disagree0

The Ed has been on the drink!! {Ed007's Note - Not me mate.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well gotta say i always rated caldwell

Agree0 Disagree0

Only one player has scored for 3 different teams against Celtic in the CL and that man is Gary Caldwell! Enough said!

Green surfer

Agree0 Disagree0

What is it with you and Caldwell Mr Green Fingers + A Bluenose?Almost everyday.Why don't you give it a rest and sit back and see what happens?If you're right then you can sit with a huge grin on your face.Personally i think you are on the mushies.

Jungle Bhoy.

Agree0 Disagree0

"word on the street" ? is that coronation street because it certainly ain't in the real world

Agree0 Disagree0

Gary Caldwell is like a toddler cooking a BBQ....an accident waiting to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

If you are a celtic man you must have started after we got rid of the heed. TAMBHOY

Agree0 Disagree0

"If he's not being red-carded, he's scoring in the wrong net. Nooooo, please don't bring Calamity Caldwell back."

Perfect summary of him! Leave him where he is, we dont need this bombscare!

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

The word on the streets of wigan will be all about rugby league or how much everybody misses blutos and the merrydown in the beesknees. Youll never see mr. Greenfingers and tedbear together.

Agree0 Disagree0
