I'm hearing that there might be another Celtic medical booked for this week as well as Dembele's, and it's a centre half.

{Ed007's Note - It'ssaid to be for Kolo Toure.}

Hope not think he's a donkey and wrong age makes too many mistakes.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not a fan myself but I can understand the thinking even if I don't agree with it.}

Plenty of experience right enough ed but think he's too much like Effe but he would provide cover.

{Ed007's Note - We're without Simunovic and Boyata for the start of the season so we are short. Rodgers knows him and obviously trusts him so if it is him he'll probably do us a turn in the short term. We're left with 2 available first team CBs.
I'll say this though, I'd much rather we went into the CL qualifiers with Toure than Ambrose or throwing a youngster in there - even if some people think players need to be playing there to improve. And if signing Toure means Mulgrew isn't getting a new deal then I'm all for it. Who knows, Toure could be the cool experienced head we need to steady the defence during the qualifiers.
All this optimism is making me feel ill, I'll need to go for a lie down I think.}

Kolo isn't ideal for me but experience will be vital for Europe and he still has that bit of pace.

Can certainly help progress KT more defensively.

Where u hearing it's toure ED? Think he mite do a job for us in there next to Erik! Bags of experience and still got a bit left in the tank yet I think! What kind of deal do u think we'd offer him ED? Maybe a years deal? Anybody in there would be better than ambrose! I actually can't believe we're still talking about ambrose anymore! He should have been the first out the door! Fingers crossed he'll be off soon!

{Ed007's Note - I've got no idea of any of the details.}

Now there's a player I'd want on a pay as you play. I think it's a good move.

Don't understand the negativity of some, Toure was in the Liverpool team In the second half of the season and playing very well, we had Efe and Boyata.

The only time i saw Toure last season was in the Europa final and he was brilliant. Just done a bit of digging on him and found an article from 2 weeks ago when his release from Liverpool was confirmed and there's a large amount of their fans gutted he's moving on. They spoke of his proffessionalism, commitment, being dependable and a real decent back up for them. Might be worth taking a punt on (especially if it keeps Efe and Boyata away from the team) .

{Ed007's Note - And yet at aged 35 Liverpool let him go.}

I have to say that I think Toure would be a great signing, he was outstanding for Liverpool In the europa final.

He does have plenty of experience which could be priceless. I'd have hoped for somebody younger though.

This would be a top signing. He clearly isn't coming for the money as he could get crazy wages in the US or China. He obviously wants to win more trophies and have another crack at Europe. Huge experience and a natural leader. Ideal!

Your getting a player who had a stormer for us last campaign should of been motd in the euripa league final. Problem you have is Rodgers can't defend or set up a unit to do so. Kolo might not look great for use i'm afraid. He's top though and still has it just hope it works for you.

Congrats on demebele there's another 15/ 20 million in 2/ 3 seasons 😊.

I suppose Brendan Rodgers making one good signing would in the eyes of some have to make a very bad one to even up. Fans will let him off the bad one if he signs a good one .
I don't think B R would purposely buy a bad player, he has his reasons for buying who he does and we have to hope it works out well.
