Celtic target Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik turned down the chance to sign for Betis. Celtic had apparently not given up hope of signing the CB now he will go back to his club as no offer was tabled for him. Shame!

Believable5 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - It looks like a deal for Scepovic will be done, that's coming from the Spanish end of the situation.}

Just saw this.

CELTIC are delighted to confirm the signing of Serbian internationalist Stefan Scepovic on a four-year deal from Sporting Gijon.
The 24-year-old becomes Ronny Deila’s sixth recruit of the summer transfer window following the acquisitions of Craig Gordon, Jo Inge Berget, Aleksandar Tonev, Jason Denayer and Mubarak Wakaso.
Having started his career at OFK Beograd, the striker had stints at the likes of Club Brugge and Partizan Belgrade before enjoying a prolific spell in Spanish football.
Capped eight times by his country, the hitman opened his account for Serbia in their 5-0 victory over Macedonia last October and will bolster the club’s attacking options.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 22:03:10
Will scepovic be confirmed in the next hour or is it off?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - The deal will be done before the window closes.}

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 20:24:05
Ed don't know if this is worth putting up but Paul Carew is at cp I'm told by my friend he is an agent from London and I know people will be saying aye right but my mate is pr officer for the corporate hospitality at celtic he doesn't know who he is there on behalf of though, do u know anything?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I was thinking of Stuart Armstrong but I can't find a list of players he, or his company represents, which is strange as he is registered with FIFA as an agent, I know that Armstrong didn't use an agent in his last round of contract negotiations.}

Paul Carew is a Sports Consultant and FIFA licenced football agent who has developed extensive contacts and scouting relationships that enable him to source talent in the UK and overseas. Paul joined the team early in 2012. He is a vastly experienced FIFA Licensed Players Agent whose success through his work has taken him all over the world. He represents several players domestically and internationally including several members of the Zambian National Team who won the 2012 African Cup Of Nations. Paul is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and down to earth. He has negotiated many contracts for our clients who are very pleased with his work.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 21:45:40

Hey Ed, I just got a message from my brother who's working in Derby, that Johney Russell is on the move but no one knows who to, then I seen another rumour about him on twitter, is there any substance in this? And is John Guidetti on his way?

BelfastBhoy

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Hi Belfast, As far as I know Bournemouth have had TWO bids knocked back for JR!

Agree0 Disagree0

I know Guidetti is at celtic park just now hope aa deal can be done think it will be another loan.

Agree1 Disagree0

Another loan apparently happy with this is he can play like he did at Feynoord

Agree0 Disagree0

John Guidetti done deal

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 20:13:49
John Guidetti is at Celtic park

Believable5 Unbelievable4

Aye, heard the rumour at 7.15.
In paradise having talks just now.
Saying nothing until conformation :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Must be there to tell us he's not interested. off to Palermo

Agree0 Disagree1

John Guidetti poised for Palermo switch I thought?

Agree0 Disagree1

If we land him will be a good deal for celtic good bit of business as the lad has so much potential

Agree0 Disagree0

Another loan deal, what a lot of Pish! Not 1 single player bought .

Agree0 Disagree0

Loan deal done

Agree0 Disagree0

Signed, loan deal.

Agree1 Disagree0

Not happening palermo bound fact hope i'm wrong though.

Agree0 Disagree1

Said last night we went for Guidetti. This move was made as soon as Scepovic pulled out. From same source we went for Nick Powell but got no reply. Ed I know you have links to Utd. U heard anything on Powell?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - CFC were in contact with Utd today but it was over Anders Lindegaard, whether Powell came up in the conversation I don't know.}

Just as I send last post, getting told Scepovic deal is back on and he is in Glasgow. Couldn't make it up lol. My thinking would be Griffiths is off if this happens

Agree0 Disagree0

If he joins il be very happy man tonight but still think we need a lb and hope a few cm leave ie mulgrew and biton and replace with am

Agree0 Disagree0

I've just said he's signed lol, feck Palermo!

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought Lindegaard gave a straight no as he was told to compete with Gordon for no.1. Would like him to sign but from what I've heard it's Al Habsi from Wigan, permanent deal if Wigan get a replacement in time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Am so happy I was made to eat my words Guidetti will be a good signing can any please tell me is this scepovic deal back on apparently he's left in limbo as Gatafe can't afford the transfer any in put appreciated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Scepovic club say deal is done. Apparently he is at Lennoxtown now putting pen to paper on a 4 year deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 19:11:57
Ed can we expect anyone in today? Surly we can't go with this sqaud there lacking in every position apart from VVD but there's still time wouldn't be surprised if we sold him before the deadline tonigh hope not or we are in really big trouble.

Believable7 Unbelievable5

{Ed007's Note - As I said last night, Getafe are struggling to pay for Scepovic and stay within Spanish FFP regs. It now looks as his move to CFC could go through.}

I would tell the boy to go and take a **** to himself, celtic should have players desperate to play use . Just shows u where we are at . Any truth in the Lee Wallace move?

Agree0 Disagree0

Any news about John Guidetti

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's going to Palermo as far as I know.}

Just seen Wullie Ballache on SLY saying the move to Getafe has been banjo'd for financial reasons and the player is in Spain technically club-less.
I know we are crying out for fresh talent and a boost in moral, but the guy body swerved us at the last minute and could be a bengal lancer?
We should go for Russell or McGinn.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bbo
Wallace to celtic from sevco??
I can't see that one somehow

Agree0 Disagree0

Mcginn is not good enough for celtic we need some quality not just another bench warmer .

Agree0 Disagree0

Who would agree to take Lee Wallace . good player but?

Agree0 Disagree0

I can't see it happing ether but heard it doing the rounds, if he wasn't playing for the zombies would u have him? Good left back and suits our play plus rangers are in the rubbish again and couldn't knock back £1mil wages prob 8/11k a week?

Agree0 Disagree0

Normally I'd agree about telling the boy to sling his hook but we are desperate! I'm in a c#nt of a mood right now and would be a lot happier having another option than stokes and griffiths! Either way our board are a f#cking joke! There needs to be changes we are becoming a small club it makes us look and feel pathetic!

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree with you SOS BHOY gutted at the boards lack of respect to the clubs fans,

Another transfer window and another rangers player or ex rangers player being linked. Bet its the same sad individule every year that starts this pishhhh

Agree0 Disagree0

We are a big club but as I have said on numerous occasions we are playing in a league that is the pits and is so unattractive to quality players.with the possibility of the transfer cash reaching £1 billion in England on sky earlier today it had reached £700 million that is what we are up against.in scotland at the weekend only one game reached double figures other than our own match none of the rest came any where near double figures who in their right mind would want to play in front of three empty stands that's the reality of scottish football at the minute.the modern day footballer is only interested in money and we can't compete with the epl or for that matter the English championship with their sky money that's how I see it .killy.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 18:58:30
Celtic's move for Sporting Gijon striker Stefan Scepovic could be back on after it appeared he might be joining Getafe instead earlier on deadline day. It appears the move to Getafe has stalled and now Celtic are finally hoping to lure the player to Celtic Park. (Personally we should say thanks but no thanks son)

Believable7 Unbelievable3

01 Sep 2014 21:12:30
Totally agree

Believable5 Unbelievable15

Would it be a good idea? He has been much better for the Dons than he ever was for us. Mind you, at least they gave the lad a run of games to show what he could do and he hasn't been bad at all for them.

Agree1 Disagree0

Woooo hooooooo just the player we really really need. Think I will get my season book back now.

NOT

Heard a wee rumour that ex Bolton player David Ngog and ex west ham George McCartney in talks to sign 2 year deals any truth?

Believable7 Unbelievable12

If we had a good plan b I would tell him to beat it although I would rather him than Hugo Rodallega or Kenwyne Jones!

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 17:57:55
not that there Is any likelihood of this but yeah tell him to bolt. We have a great crop of strikers banging the goals in for fun.

Believable6 Unbelievable9

01 Sep 2014 13:41:13
Stuart armstrong has turned down the chance to come to celtic he is now been tracked by Everton which could see him loaned back to dundee utd for the season!

Ave been told 3 players already knocked back us today an from what ave heard 1 was hugo rodallega other was a young midfielder on loan from Liverpool the main one was mr klose who is in line to sign for a team in germany!

We won't sign anyone today as no medicals ave been booked nothing at all maybe get a couple of free transfers but we won't sign anyone at all!

Soo don't wait up it ain't happening as I says ave predicted most transfer in the past my source it very reliable an not often wrong!

Believable13 Unbelievable11

Yesterday you said we would sign a left back so how do we believe how reliable your sources are!

Agree2 Disagree0

Shame about Armstrong but not too bothered with the other 2

Agree0 Disagree0

But as I says players are knocking us back! The boy from norway is there under 21 left back he is rated very highly!

We ain't signing anyone the boy I know very well is a wealthy kind of guy he goes to the celtic hosipitailty route quite a lot an got to no some guys through that! He told me about stefan Johansson last year a pit it on here he says about amido balde an pukki as well ones u didn't see coming up soo a think he a great source he already told me him an the boys he knows ain't going back as they knew weeks ago we wouldn't buy! Apperently ronny only had a 2million kitty for players

Agree0 Disagree0

If celtic don't get anyone in today PL better go

Agree1 Disagree1

I would have loved Armstrong also been saying on here for months him & Brown would be great in the middle of the park, but if Robertson & Gauld went for £3 mill then there's no way Armstrong be sold for any less, he's the best player in Scottish football in my opinion far better than Johansen, celticfan1888 I agree way kevinod1888 you said we signing a leftie know we signing no one, we didn't need your source to tell us Serb deal was off think we all knew something wasn't right come Saturday night, your source says we in financial trouble tell us how if you true celtic fans you'll share it with your fellow supporters

Agree0 Disagree0

Unless your source is mr lawell then it's unreliable he's the only person that knows the ins and outs not Evin Ronny d gets a say he's just a yes man

Agree1 Disagree0

Am just telling you what ave been told bhoy's am at most games home an away! When my source is texting me saying he isn't going to parkhead anymore he isn't paying money to watch his team anymore! This guy lives an breaths celtic he prob best guy ave met for signing talk as he knows a lot of ppl!

He could be wrong we done some surprises in our day but as fae as am aware he been saying for weeks celtic have money troubles not in a panic way but we don't have any power anymore put it this way! Its a bad day when a player from league 1 england knocks us back u heard PL talking about english players laffing at our offers that player was kevin macdonald who we where interested in bringing in he was laffing at apperently he says celtic aren't anywhere near the level of a conference team!

Agree0 Disagree1

Av heard that money is not tight however due to poor past investment bangura pukki balde biton boeroghter that the wage bill is almost unmanageable why commons and samaras never resigned they were hoping to move on a few players earlier in the window but nobody was interested in paying full wages I heard macdonald agent never even entertained the offer the wages were that poor

Agree0 Disagree0

@op if your a celtic fan i'm ally mcoist

Agree0 Disagree0

Also heard that the chance of signing from Dundee utd is non existent due to Thompson not wanting to deal with clubs due to the rfc debacle

Agree0 Disagree0

Dundee United don't need to sell.

Believable13 Unbelievable11

Keep the faith bohys Celtic will bring in a couple of players. and one will b a striker. big Virgil staying great news. hh

Agree0 Disagree1

Mate am telling you don't hold your breath we as a team financially aren't in a good position not going down the sevco route but we don't have a dime who transfers r keeping us from getting into money problems! Ul see more in next coupe of weeks we r in a bad place as wee speak

Agree0 Disagree1

I don't think we will get anyone they left it too late and if we do it will be a guy who has only got 1 goal in 36 games

Agree0 Disagree0

Celticfan1888 how we in a bad place, Liewell must be living up to his name then cause he saying financially we sound

Ed. Heard a wee rumour that we are looking to sign Sebastien Coates and Jermaine Defoe. Is there substance to this, or is it a load of Rafael?

Believable9 Unbelievable20

No chance , one is off to QPR and the other Sunderland

Agree0 Disagree0

Toronto want 7 million for defoe

Agree0 Disagree0

Worse rumour ever man Defoe is over 24 no sell on value so rule that right out and Coates would have been believable for a loan deal if Celtic had qualified for champions league

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 00:34:53
Total bloody shambles by the way! Usual celtic Draggin there heals! This deal should have happened A week ago! Now we'll get the usual on Tuesday after The deadlines passed, we tried to get players in But there was no time! A bloody disgrace! Lawell says we're a Big club! Try actin like one!
Heard pukii and balde are Off on loan to Ed, any info? going to be one long tough Season ahead!!

Believable12 Unbelievable9

{Ed007's Note - There is an option on the table for Pukki (and Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson) to join Brondby on a year's loan and there is interest from Portugal and Belgium in Balde.}

By the looks of it we have a 1,2 of LG and AT which hasn't changed all window so no need for shock (if we can fend off a hibs loan request to change that . )
Im not defending or vilifying anything anymore. Blood the youngsters it is going to happen. Are they good enough I hope so. A day is left, we can simmer till the clock strikes 23BST HH

Agree0 Disagree0

Sack the Board.

This window was their last chance for me. And it's the worst yet! We're told that all monies are reinvested, well how come yet again replacements cost a fraction for key players moving (Forster/Gordon)?

We've been crying out for a Striker, CB, CAM and LB for a few windows now and STILL nothing. Just a few duds on loan. Operate like a CL club, or don't be one.

Sack the Board.

Agree0 Disagree0

Joke club that fleece the fans constantly a big club lol that's farcical we are a feeder club for Southampton ffs let van dyck leave also and just let the club run down on another note the guy coming in after Lennon was always going to be shot down with the amount of rubbish he inherited pukki balde biton ambrose doesn't help when the 1st people signed are Berget and tonev though

Agree1 Disagree0

I can't see us getting anyone in today

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldn't blame Celtic for this. they done everything they could.just one of theses things. hh

Agree0 Disagree2

01 Sep 2014 11:16:03
players will want to play for a club with ambition. The Celtic Boards acceptance of the poor financial restraints in Scottish football is understandable and financially prudent but shows no ambition

Agree0 Disagree0

C'mon stealy36 fair enough the guy has messed us about but why is there no back up's, all us fans knew something wasn't right so the board should have pulled plug on this deal, iam dreading the worse way what's left, wish we had resigned big Sammie now to be honest, no money spent on transfers Liewell be loving it

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2014 00:02:09
Ed is the Scepovic deal off?

Believable15 Unbelievable5

{Ed007's Note - Looks like it, he is due to undergo another medical in Madrid tomorrow for Getafe.}

Spec a non starter? It rumbled along for too long, he would of been holding the jersey with a scarf round his neck days ago if it was all going to plan .days we waste on that deal ,10 weeks 3 signings wages freed up and some money in the bank. I was concerned about the amount of time that it was dragging on for tbh but the the showing yesterday must of made the guys mind up. he's no daft ill give him that. Good luck to the pr!ck. If this transder window could be likened to a night out then here is how it would pan out(making light obviously) . 1) yer pal paid ye in to the dancing 2) ye turned yer ankle dancing wae a decent bird 4) her later arriving man nutted ye and moved yer snib and took her hame 5)yer pal wae the dough pulled and did the shuffle 6)yer left mine sweepin 7) 3oclock princess offers a lumber even with the street light illumination ye know its a bad yin 8) faw asleep in the cab and piss yersel 9) driver takes yer best pair a shoes right aff yer sleepin feet tae pay fir the soilage and kicks ye oot 10) wake up in the cells on sat and miss yer maws bd lunch on the sunday 11) monday night, the fine comes oot yer bank and ye notice the season ticket money in the transaction above.
Doensnt really draw any comparisons to many fans right enough . mibbe wee phat . right enough he would of nutted the cabbie and took the bird up the road:)
