Ed any truth in us almost agreeing personal terms with Barkas just need to set on a transfer fee?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - As I said below all I know is that there has been further talks with AEK.}

23 Jul 2020 13:09:01
I didn't know clubs could discuss personal terms woth players before agreeing a price for transfer.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's quite normal for clubs to talk with agents about their clients even before there's any concrete approach to the clubs.

The process should be along the lines of: Clubs will typically informally ask an agent (a) if the player is going to be available, and (b) would the player consider a move to the club. There may be some broad discussion on the sort of deal that would be offered but no more than that.
If the answer is yes, it is then necessary for the club to approach the player's club to ask if they would be willing to sell and if they would grant permission to speak to a player's agent formally about a transfer and possibly even the player about actually making a move. This will typically involve either broadly (through an offer) or actually agreeing a fee and responsibility for any significant costs (agents fees etc.).
Once this has happened the club will be able to speak to the player's agent and perhaps the player himself to look at the package that will be involved. Many players are looked at and discussed at a high-level with agents and clubs; a subset of those have an offer placed; a subset of those involve discussions with the player's club; a subset of those involve discussions over terms, and; a subset of those go ahead.

Agents will often try and get more specific details of wages and other financials before they should - but most clubs are happy to follow this process. Players will often talk to other players about moves but, whilst wrong, is tolerated as it would be impossible to manage.}

Cheers Ed I was just thinking along the lines of terms being agreed with said amount of wages only for the clubs not to agree a fee then it unsettling the player as he's been priced out of a move to a club offering him a substantial increase in wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - No doubt that happens.}

22 Jul 2020 11:04:38
Wouldn't normally post anything like this guys but anyway my mate done Steven fletchers carpets yesterday said it's a done deal just paperwork to be sorted. diest fill me with excitement it has to be said.

You would think they would sort the paperwork before fitting the carpet. New carpets tend not to get people over excited so don't worry.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You've obviously never met my wife, her sisters or even my mum and sister! A new carpet will instigate a feverish round of phonecalls to arrange viewing times of said new carpet.}

22 Jul 2020 12:13:20
Altim thank god ma rumour is better than your patter or this site would be a rubbish read
Ed😂😂.

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 12:14:39
Have you heard anythin on Fletcher ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's looking to move back up here but I can't see that being to Celtic. Could Aberdeen or Hibs afford him? Maybe a replacement for Morelos if he goes?}

22 Jul 2020 12:28:46
👍fletchers getting on a bit wouldn't fancy him so that's good to hear.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍

22 Jul 2020 12:29:40
EDD007 what’s the word on this keeper is it a knock back or bid still to go in?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's been further talks with AEK, that's all I know for now.}

22 Jul 2020 12:35:54
Give me some credit Liam, been stuck in house on furlough with the Mrs for last 4 months. brain cells have died. I really hope your rumour is simply that, a rumour and nothing more.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 12:44:52
Aberdeen could be a shout ed especially if they lose Cosgrove.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That's what I was thinking, Kev.}

22 Jul 2020 14:42:09
Altim I hope it's that aswell but phoned my mate after he msgd me and after the last post I posted to ed and my mate is telling me Fletcher said Celtic is a done deal my mates not the kind of guy to be at it so I'm thinking Fletcher himself could be a wind up merchant.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 15:15:50
Ed, while we're all picking your brain, do you think Lewis Ferguson coming to us is on the cards? There's been a bit of debate about whether he could replace the midfield dig when Brown leaves.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure when Ferguson is available we'll be in for him.}

22 Jul 2020 15:15:57
If we had signed Fletcher back when he was at hibs we would never have lost the league to a cheating oldco.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 15:23:07
I'd rather have Fletcher than Bayo.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 15:44:19
Cheers Ed. There was a bit of a buzz about him making a move this summer but it's died right down.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 15:48:04
Whats the use of replacing one useless dud for another Buster?

Ed do you think the ferguson signing would hinge on how soro works out?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - No. He's one of the best young Scottish players in the league so it would be stupid to not be interested.}

22 Jul 2020 16:42:27
Thats the way I see it as well but the money men might be different.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Just the usual problems then lol.}

22 Jul 2020 17:29:07
Fletcher to old now but he was certainly no dud.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 17:30:45
Only for experience Kev. Bayo just doesn't look the part at all. It will be a long tough season with the number of games we will have. Good option for a plan B if we need to go long. I don't think he would need long to settle and would breeze it in the league.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 18:30:08
Why would Fletcher need to get carpet laid if he was leaving England and coming to Scotland.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 20:26:14
Fletcher was rank rotten in his prime. Best thing about him was his agent. A striker that a goal once every 4 games and never even managed 15 in a season.

Buster most of our team are more experienced than him. Our team is full of international footballers that know how to win leagues and trophies.

Has no one learn about bringing these old players up from England like Cole, Ljungberg, kazim-richards, Murphy ect ect ect.

Agree1 Disagree1

22 Jul 2020 21:15:17
Can't disagree with you Kev. If the original post is to be believed I'm just saying I'd take him over Bayo.

If it was up to me I wouldn't have either.

Weismann and Ajeti both look good, need to admit its only from YouTube videos.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2020 07:37:31
Can throw stats all you want very easy to look up Fletcher would have been a great signing for us before moving down there in his prime. i bet you were one of the boo boys when the deal didn't happen.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jul 2020 13:55:18
Bet I've never booed anything to do with celtic in my life.

Great signing? he's not been a great signing for ANY club he's ever signed for. He hardly scores a goal .

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2020 17:08:46
great signing aye. no doubt he would've scored plenty for us and offered more than goals.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2020 20:19:58
The longer it is since we didn’t buy Fletcher, the better a player he was .
He may have done a job for us, but he really wasn’t a massive loss.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 10:31:24
Rumoured we have bid for the greek keeper. Put in 3.5 million plus bonuses but they want 7 million.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 Jul 2020 11:51:37
He's their golden goose but apparently their financial situation isn't great so I'd imagine there's a middle ground which would please everyone. My only hope is it can be irone dout within the next few days rather than weeks as is usually the case. I also wouldn't be surprised if Forster is given one last shout before any deal for a GK gets completed.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 12:46:32
can't see it with FF if we have bid for the player and fae what's being said terms with him are close to being agreed as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 13:18:40
I just hope we can get some one in ASAP with quality I confess I don't know anything about the guy from Greece is he any good?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've been told he is by someone who understands the GK position better than me, Tony and Stevie Woods will have thoroughly checked him out which is good enough for me.}

22 Jul 2020 13:40:11
Happy with this hopefully we can get it over the line soon and not drag it out the whole window.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 14:07:10
Ed fae what I have heard we have been watching him since the beginning of last season at the very least?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 10:30:53
Conflicting reports as usual one report says Celtic have had a bid for AEK Athens keeper knocked back one report says the offer has been made official Offer 3.5m plus a bonus.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Bain our number 1 for start of the campaign if this is the case I hope that Hazard gets some game time soon for his confidence and the back 4 to get working together cause as we seen last night Bain is another head kick away from injury.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

22 Jul 2020 10:13:33
Bain is not good enough - especially in big games - and has hardly made a single save during pre-season. We have got to bring in a top quality 'Keeper for such an important campaign.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 10:34:10
Barkas?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2020 11:25:27
We will get a new keeper in before the 1st league game.

Agree1 Disagree0
