Stokes might leave in a few seasons but I don't think he will want to up route his family just now as he has a new baby
Agree6

Probably the best time to uproute them before baby gets bigger

Get back to your an board. Why would a boyhood Celtic fan, playing for his team, leave for a championship club, while Celtic re going fr the league and another shot at the champion league.

Rumours from a (well-connected) work colleague suggest Celtic are looking at Craig Cathcart, Tamas Vasko, Ben Haim, Stelios Malazas and Rafik Halliche as possible signings at CB.
Make of it what you will; I've no idea if any of these players are any good. Cathcart is only 23 and therefore fits our signing policy and probably still has his best years ahead of him but as for Ben Haim he seems to get punted on to a lower side from just about every club he joins and I know nothing of the others except we had Halliche on trial. Any of them any good?

Seen this on Twitter:-
Rudi Vata expects Hamdi Salihi to be a hit at Celtic as his countryman gets set to clinch a £500,000 move to The Hoops in the next week. Vata was the Rapid Vienna striker's agent before moving into management and believes Salihi will "score goals for fun" in the SPL. The 27-year-old is out-of-contract this summer and, despite being rated in the £3million bracket, is available for a knock down fee with his contract up in six months. Salihi has admitted he is excited at the prospect of a move to Celtic Park...

Sounds a bargain , let's hope lennys offer of a trial ? WTF does not deter him coming. Why trial a proven goalscorer? And why did a dud not get a trial? Bangura
Agree9

Bangura? how can you call someone a dudwho has hardley featured in the team. How much have you seen of him?
Agree10
Disagree4
Plenty to say he's b****cks, rankers in for the albanian now, apparently been on there wanted list for some time but couldn't afford the 3 million fee they wanted at the start of the season. Hurry up lenny get this guy in now!!
Agree7
Disagree2
Em nothing , that's my point. What's he doing at training to impress lenny? When he has came on he's done nothing, looks slow and not the age we thought he's meant to be, looks older, been Here long enough, if the trials were for everyone then he would have been found out, been a waste of 2 mill, summit bizarre in his transfer, surely henrik didn't recommend him, I wanted him to succeed , but in all the time he's been here whilst not injured he hasn't exactly been one lenny praises in training or he,d be starting or getting game time, I'd have mcgeoch and younger players on before he comes on, hope he proves me wrong,
Agree4

They in for him? Get a move on lenny and lawwell , 500 k a snip ,

Bangura is a Total Dud....oops, the D & F keys are together and hit the wrong one... ;-)

A guy whos had a pittance in gametime is a dud?, who was recommended by Larsson!, think before you speak there has been players in the past who have started slowly and went on to be greats for us. wish everyone would get off this guys back as long as hes a celtic player he will get my backing! hail hail people!

Ed,,, any truth in possible zander diamond coming in from oldham with lewis toshney heading south on loan as part of the deal? {Ed007's Note - I hope not!!}
Believable3
Unbelievable23
We never signed him when he was ona free transfer so why would we want to buy him now?
Agree12
Disagree3
"...with lewis toshney heading south on loan as part of the deal?"
No...no truth whatsoever. The reason being that these deals don't exist. Or at least they're extremely few and far between. I remember I was shocked to see one of these deals done during the summer window as 99% of the rumours involving a loan in the other direction are utter garbage.
Agree1

When liverpool signed Charlie Adam in the summer I think it was 2 or 3 liverpool players wen on loan to Blackpool so these moves do happen

hi, (new to this) i've been reading posts everywhere and loads of names keep popping up & i search for what i can find about them then nothing happens. does anyone know of a good goalscorer we are looking at that we have chance of signing? cheers! {Ed007's Note - Welcome to the site. Take your pick of what name you want to believe ;-) The Salihi story could have legs if a deal can be agreed with his club.}

STV news just reported that rangers chief scout is goin to watch james vardy tonight! Is there any players that we dont BOTH want? Lo Tbh I would prefer us to sign the vienna striker although a wouldnt blame him if he tells lenny to poke it for suggesting a trial Kevbhoy
Believable8
Unbelievable4
Wouldn't worry about Rangers signing Vardy, they are in dire straits, they'll certainly sign a player but they'll lose "The Jellyman" sorry to see him leaving the SPL, it needs all the good players it has to make a decent league, Celtic have a better all round team at the moment and they will win the title, but win it well not against teams full of second raters, I just wish the league was a lot stronger, like years gone bye. remember? {Ed007's Note - Fleetwood Town are looking for 1 million at least for Vardy.}
Agree0
Disagree3
That's crazy money Ed for a player who hasn't played above non-league level.
We would get El Allagui from Falkirk for a fraction of that and he has a comparable scoring record but at a higher level and in the Scottish game.

Sky sports reporting our renewed intrest in boubacar sonago he is a good player I.M.O but i'd rather have hamdi salihi
Believable5
Unbelievable6
Sanago is pretty average in terms of goal scoring. goals to games isn't that impressive. however a think Salihi would be a much better option scored like 200 goals in 300 competitive appearances. Plus it is the physical presence that Lennon is looking for. Don't get me wrong a would rather have Rhodes but if we are priced out the market I believe this guy may be a good alternative.

Who's sanago , never heard of him, get the Albanian , does not nd a trial, look at his record, big and powerful and knows way to net

Linked with Hamdi salihi, Rabiu ibrahim and Ingolfur Sigurdsson today all very good players happy to see them all at CP if they come Ed? {Ed007's Note - Ibrahim and Sigurdsson wouldn't be first team players right away but it's good to bring in more quality young players.}

10 Jan 2012 17:28:49
According to Sky Sports, Lennon is going to be looking at young Icelandic winger Ingolfur Sigurdsson over the next few days, know if he's any good Ed? And also Blackpool have had a bid rejected for James Vardy.. KT {Ed007's Note - We tried to sign him when he was 15/16 I'm sure. I don't know that much about him.}
Believable1
Unbelievable3
He played just under an hour (along with Ibrahim) in a bounce match with St Johnstone this afternoon(ended 3-2 to the good guys).
Hopefully we will have news on both in the coming days.

Why is lennon continually looking at or giving trials to wingers and midfielders, we all know we need a CB and a CF!
Agree4
Disagree2
Lennon and his managment team ,it seems,are always on the look out for young talent at the right price for future ref .I'm sure this is just a side line and the real coalface works are continuing.
Long live the king NL!.
Agree3
Disagree2
He is looking at midfielders as he knows in the next few years we will struggle to turn down bids for the likes of Kayal, Ki, Wanyama, Ledley and Forrest so he is getting these guys in now in the hope that they will take their places eventually.
Agree4
Disagree1
I agree with above poster but lets deal with now and the future can come after, we need a CB and a CF, the squad had over 30 players already and im sure there are some he can sell for the cash he needs for these players (CB,CF)
Agree3
Disagree0
I was just answering the question. I agree a CB and target man are a priority ( I have said this numerous times since the cup final) but I think standing still with midfielders isn't a good idea. If someone good enough is available at the right price then we should take a look at them. I questioned the signing of Wanyama in the summer when we needed in other positions but he looks a great find.
