Dont want to be bombarding you today Ed, but do you know if we have add ons with the dembele deal?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - The transfer has not been submitted to the TMS yet so I can't say at this time.}

01 Sep 2018 17:31:11
As with most transfers, it’s a complex mix of factors.
Celtic will receive about 10% now and about 65% over 5 years in installments.
This is pretty standard stuff.

But the rest of the fee, about 25% of the total figure quoted, will be in clauses, add-ons and other fees.

Would have went with Sinclair over rogic but other than that looks the part.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 15:58:27
Johnston for Forrest, Griffiths for Eddy, Benkovic for Ajer, mulumbo on bench.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Sep 2018 16:11:06
Wouldn't start Rogic game is going to be frantic. Sinclair puts a shift in. Big tam last 20minutes to finish them off.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 16:31:17
I would definitely play Benkovic, he looks strong and capable. We brought him in because we need better quality. He is so play him.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 17:56:21
We'll need to be at our toughest as they'll kick everything that moves.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 17:57:10
Is this the team that you expect or have you heard this will be the team GT10?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 18:34:42
This is the Team for tomorrow Craig. Got the info late morning. I've posted the team wrong once but nothing is guaranteed.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 20:02:25
Same team as the 5-0 game. Spot on for me. Big Tam first goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2018 07:31:37
GT10 I hope it’s right, the only problem I can see it that Edouard hasn’t played for a couple of weeks. But we know what happened the last time he was chucked in. Let all hope these Bhoys step up like they normally do in these games and put that mob firmly back in there place. HH.

02 Sep 2018 08:41:41
Def same back 4 come on the hoops.

01 Sep 2018 11:22:47
This will cheer everyone up. Celtic sign Armstrong Okoflex. Remember. that guy we apparently signed months ago? Just announced today. That'll cheer everyone up about losing Dembele.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

01 Sep 2018 11:52:42
pretty cynical announcement that. They must really think we're stupid.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Armstrong Okoflex is a 16-year-old kid that signed a contract in July that only came into force on the 1st of September. I've no idea why it was done like that - maybe some red tape to do with signing kids - but he's been training with us since we returned to pre-season training.}

01 Sep 2018 11:58:54
Maybe his contract only started today? Even so it seems a strange story to put out just after punting Dembele. He says he wants to make his debut before he's 17 and he might just get that chance if Griff and Edouard are out at the same time, which isn't unlikely.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's mainly plays at left wing.}

01 Sep 2018 14:16:43
No harm to the boy and I feel for him being used like this welcome to the club son. Hope you become a star with us.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 14:24:34
It seems we have a lot of highly rated young wingers. Johnston, Morgan, Okoflex and Dembele. I see Karamoko turns 16 in the next 5 months would hope we can get him signed up to a 5 year deal can see a few big clubs try poaching him.

Agree4 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 16:33:36
That’s my fear. Some rich barstewards stealing him. Get him signed as soon as we can. Also looking forward to seeing young Morgan. I think he will be a real asset.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 16:30:50
Young dembele plays a lot at number 10 a lot as well does he not?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 17:04:52
Has the wee man got any taller?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 08:11:50
Someone is going to have to explain to me why we didn't sell Boyata for £9m and then reinvest in someone who actually wants to play for us. We will lose him for nowt next year and he is not as good as he thinks he is. Stupid decision as I'm certain if our scouts did their job we could get a decent CB for £5m or so. One of several bad decisions this window. They aren't great but will win most of their games and the game on Sunday is a must win to put down a marker.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - A good CB has arrived on loan.}

01 Sep 2018 09:06:08
Emanuel emenike is a free agent might be worth a punt big burly striker could do Us a turn as cover fir Griffiths and eddy.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 09:44:44
Chink67 I think that the plan could have been to get through the qualifiers then punt him.
We needed him for they games and the manager knew it.
The gaffer expected him to be a professional and if he had I've no doubt we'd have qualified.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 11:06:23
Heaney, Eminike is a good player but do you know if he has calmed down with age? Seem to remember he was a bit of a bam on and off the field.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 11:57:29
Lacina Traore is also unattached and guiseppe Rossi but he was always injured.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 12:04:23
He’s 31 now think he would be sound enough as cover but don’t think Rodgers would mind a challenge as long as he can still put the ball in the net.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 09:19:19
How do we know he is a good CB ed? let's face it, he got a move to leicester for a huge fee, but he is very young with very little experience. Ajer and hendry are bomb scares together and now we are relying on an unknown and boyata, a player who does not want to be here. Rodgers must be gutted. Is it just me or does anyone else see that we are going backwards? The morale and harmony in the squad can't be great after the exploits of boyata and dembele. Forgive the negativity but a 22yr unknown Cb on loan and a 31yr freebie that no one else wanted just won't do it for me. ☘HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Filip Benković picked Leicester over Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Chelsea with Spurs also showing an interest. He may well be unknown to you but he is well respected in the game. I hope he fails miserably at Celtic so you are not disappointed.}

01 Sep 2018 13:27:06
The CB has been chased by some big clubs including ours for years and the free that no one wanted was signing foe Swansea till we approach him.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 13:43:30
Just because he was linked to various clubs does not reflect his ability, he may well have potential but we don't need potential, we need ability particularly at the back! The fact he picked leicester over the clubs you mentioned ed tells me that he lacks ambition and favours money, dortmund would have been a great place for him to go! Or maybe these clubs you mentioned are just media hype. Anyway ed I ask again how do we know he is any good and not just another experiment? Please try and reply without being sarcastic. We all know we can't afford to have another experiment at the back. ☘HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Just forget it then. Try the approach of screaming vile abuse at him and start up a hate group on Facebook and force him out of the club. I truly hope he fails completely and loses Celtic multiple games to keep you happy.}

01 Sep 2018 13:51:30
I think the boy looks brilliant. I would play him tomorrow with Boyata. The only downer is he will leave before our CK qualifiers next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 13:58:30
For years kev, really? And we stole a 31 yr freebie from swansea, lol I should think so! Look I am just a bit concerned about where we are going and the signings we are making, like many fans I am not convinced. We are weaker than we were, no doubt about it. We lost armstrong, dembele and roberts who were first picks. Our defence is poor and we go out and get a freebie from killie, an unknown cb on loan, 2 young boys who are far from first team material and a LB who we punted a year ago. Forgive me for not being ecstatic. ☘HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 14:27:55
Benkovic is a coup the board done well in that respect to get him here. Him Boyata and Ajer at the back will tear it up this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 14:27:56
Benkovic will be or is the best CB at our club make no mistake this boy is a great player watch and see.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 14:29:41
Would you rather we go out and sign 14 players who are not in our league.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 15:17:56
No marco, but their two centre halfs would walk into our team. ☘HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 15:56:18
he has to be a troll 😂 Benkovic is a fantastic signing and hopefully will bring the best out of Jozo as well. 4 solid centre halves in the squad, until big Starvin Marvin comes in and plays a sweeper as part of a one man defence. Solid.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 16:33:50
Armstrong and Roberts first picks?
Guess you didn't watch us last season
Both where on bench when fit.
Both CBs would walk in to our team?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I smell 💩💩💩💩💩.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 17:10:39
Is that supposed to be light hearted kev? ☘HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 18:19:54
Goldson and there other CH are rotten they are terrible under pressure and have no pace we will take 3 or 4 off them and I’m willing to wager you on that and I never bet.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 00:11:10
Well that's honestly the worst transfer window I can ever recall and I think the fallout is going to rumble on for a long time. Big thanks to Ed002 for putting up with us today and keeping us in the loop and best wishes to Ed007 and the family, hope all is as well as can be expected.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks Kev.}

01 Sep 2018 00:00:07
I note Caulker has parted company with Dundee. He was recommended to them by Brendan. Plenty of Celts thought it was designed to line him up for a move to us. Possible?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Sep 2018 00:06:42
Don’t think we really need him now Benkovic has came in and Boyata obviously hasn’t left.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 00:36:40
I'd take him in a heartbeat. BR described as "someone who you would take to war with you. " Maybe the loyalty the dressing room and BR is needing.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 01:04:51
Surely boyata needs to explain what happened now and issue an apology. It's long overdue, I'm not wanting him to play again but for squad harmony surely he has to publicly say sorry.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 01:44:52
Can we still sign free agents.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 07:12:30
Definitely take him. We need as much cover as possible at CB.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 09:46:19
Has he been freed? Didn't they knock back a fair sized bit in January?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 10:02:07
Feck Boyata’s explanation. It’s Lawell who should be talking. It’s that dithering, cheapskate, worst negotiator twit who should be called to the witness box.

Whatever we got for Moussa will be straight into his bonus pot. It certainly won’t be spent on players. He is a disgrace and he should resign.

From a double treble, to out of the CL, McGinn debacle, to losing our main striker. Go now Lawell. You’re a coward.

Agree4 Disagree1

01 Sep 2018 10:13:31
Negotiated himself out I read. Ben arfa and nasri are on free list as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2018 10:57:38
Nasri? You must be kidding there's been enough trouble in the dressing room for one season 😂.
