Celtic Rumours

17 Aug 2022 14:19:07
There a report coming from Sweden, that Celtic are interested in 23 year old Montenegro player, Sead Haksabanovic who can play on both wings.
He is currently employed by Starfelt's old club ( never played together ) Rubin Kazan, who got relegated last season.
He left Russia when the war started and he played in Sweden for a few months but he hasn't played a competitive match since June.
Similar to Jordan Larsson with Spartak Moscow, he had until the end of June to terminate his contract with Rubin Kazan.
He must've declined the offer because the Swedish media, are writing that the youngster's contract doesn't expire until 2026,with the Russian club.

Not an expert bust surely economic sanctions would stop this from happening. I can’t see us being able to pay a transfer fee to a Russian club.

17 Aug 2022 15:20:35
His name has cropped up before but nothing happened.

Don't get why we offered Forrest a new deal if we're still after another winger. We have Abada, Jota Forrest, Maeda as well as Johnston who'll likely leave before the window. Another winger will limit Forrests game time even more than it already is.

Mikey J replacement Buzz?

17 Aug 2022 16:33:34
I think the way things have shaped up it seems we have Maeda and Jota in from the start with Abada and Forrest on the bench, but obviously with the amount of games we play and possible injury and absence, it would be practical to bring in another versatile player and also to replace MJ who seems to be surplus - for now?

I'm not blown away by this link. Hopefully the player and the scouting team prove me wrong.

no more talk about fani.

17 Aug 2022 18:53:47
dillits, there is always going to be fani talk.
Just go to any pub, it's the most important topic on the agenda. HH.

17 Aug 2022 20:07:51
Dillits it should have it’s own topic on rumours page or better still its own podcast.

Spanish journalist Gerard Romero reporting that Barcelona are interested in signing Frimpong, don't know fee or if Celtic have sell on clause.

15 Aug 2022 20:04:29
Barcelona have been forced to raise some serious funds, to comply with the Spanish FFP rules, to allow them to buy players in this transfer window.
They sold the rights, to rename their stadium Spotify Nou Camp.
Barcelona have sold a percentage to future TV rights.
And they have also sold 50% of future merchandise sales, to bring down that debt.

{Ed007's Note - It's well dodgy but they've managed to do it and they are bizarely interested in Frimpong.}

15 Aug 2022 20:17:38
Just proves the Eufa FFP rules are a joke.

{Ed007's Note - I used to know the basics of how they worked but over the last few years you'd need to be a high end lawyer or shady mofo to understand how clubs get round them.}

15 Aug 2022 21:46:39
The greater interests of the collective 'big clubs' will always find a solution. HH.

16 Aug 2022 09:39:47
FFP has been replaced by the Financial Sustainability Regulations. It targets 3 areas. The no overdue payables rule, the football earnings rule, and the squad cost rule. I think bizarrely the cap for squad cost is being phased in at 90, 80 then 70% of club revenues which seems a lot of wiggle room for clubs to start with. As far as I can tell the football earnings rule can be exploited by rich owners for club improvement purposes but not the playing squad itself.

17 Aug 2022 08:03:18
These teams are so much in debt and will sell family furniture to try and stay at the top and have expensive lawyers who will look at and bend the rules to their will to get what their team needs. The problem is fairplay rules are so muddy, so grey and probably written that way to help the so called bigger clubs. We wouldn't get away with the stuff they do. We should be happy though we are run properly and not a billion in debt like a lot of them. They get all the tv money and it's still not enough for them.

Must be something in the Barkley rumours. Doesn't seem to be going away, forgive me if this has been talked about already.

15 Aug 2022 15:35:22
Barkley will go to West Ham nothing in the Celtic stories.

{Ed007's Note - Celtic have been in touch with Chelsea regarding Barkley but wages will be a major stumbling block. Everton have held talks with Chelsea regarding Barkley, Batshuayi and they would also like Billy Gilmour on loan.
Fulham have offered to take Barkley on loan but that doesn't suit Chelsea. So far there has been no interest in Barkley from West Ham.}

15 Aug 2022 16:58:18
Oh WOW what do u think to that ED?

{Ed007's Note - I still can't understand why Celtic are interested in Barkley.}

15 Aug 2022 19:48:34
A reporter Mark Hughs has dismissed the rumour and has said that he heard a giggle from his source about the Barkley rumour.

I just can't see Barkley coming to Celtic and playing the with Ange wants him too. I don't think he fits his style just my thoughts but we will find out soon.

{Ed007's Note - I agree.}

16 Aug 2022 09:56:29
I’ve heard he’s a bit of a 🔔 end so is a weird one. Shows we are after a CAM though!

16 Aug 2022 18:11:55
He will be another McCarthy. Buy Fani. He will be much better and our player. Never rated Barclay and hope this story is a pile.

14 Aug 2022 22:50:51
Great result today nice wan bhoys ( Barkley) news want go away JUST saying.
