Ed007, you have kept your counsel on debate about new signings. In you own opinion, do you think Lennon will sign anybody before window closes. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Yes, I think he will}

you know celtic is a well run club with hardly no debt at all not many clubs can say that and celtic arnt going to break the bank to get players in if we win tomorrow expect celtic to spend 10 to 15 mil on players if not expet celtic to sign people on loan and players that are next to nothing to buy

10 to 15 mil, shut up ya clown. Where do you people come from, seriously

Drew

I think you missed out "over the next ten years" after the 10-15 mil

Who are you ? your saying we're going to spend 10 to 15 mill if we beat Sion and qualify for a tournament thats only worth 4 or 5 mill if we win it which we havent a hope in hell doing, get real muppet.
Stevie

I think you find celtic get 7 mil if we get to the group stages so your the muppet and if you think celtic wont spend at least 10 mil then your the muppet

Its 5 mill and only then if you go all the way which you won't

I think you missed the decimal point between your figures there mate

There is noway we will spend 10mill this window.
As much as we would love that, it just won't happen .

hail hail

Not a rumour just worried about the lack of activity, even the daily rags andc other reliable websites haven't had us linked with anyone for days now. I am hoping Liewell allows Lennon some funds regardless of tomorrows result as we are still a centre half, left back and target man short.

Niall

I heard LeFondre and McManus are targets and so is some guy that used to play for Portsmouth, his name is Nadir Belhadj but dont know too much about him. I think Lennon wants Bellamy or Santa Cruz on deadline day

How about a bit of respect. Peter Lawwell has done a fantastic job at Celtic. Making accusations that he is a liar through being disrespectful with his name is infantile and not called for. It says more about your character than anything it tells us about Mr Lawwell.

No chance of gettin Belhadj, his club wont sell him. Santa Cruz and Bellamy will never come and play in SPL.

Drew

Absolutely agree, no need to call anyone a liar, especially when it is completely unfounded.

Some guy called Belhadj - you have never heard of him - just shows how much you know. I am a girl and know of him. He played for Portsmouth as full back/winger and was immense.

Back to the Orcs page with that comment
CelticMatt

Stop calling our cheif exec Liewell , he has done an outstanding job and feels the pain of every defeat like a true celt

Celtic's transfer situation is just exacerbated by the fact our best players are injured. Ultimately compared to last season, which overall I feel we were better than the orcs, we have secured a centre back which we badly needed and kept kayal, izaguirre and hooper. I feel we only currently need another option up front because Stokes does struggle a bit without Hooper. Optimistic for this season. Relishing seeing the full strength squad.

Lubo67

Apologies if I offended the Lawall fans out there but I strongly feel that he and the board are not supporting Neil Lennon as they should be. I am not expecting them to return to the days of signing 6 million pound players but funds should be available to strengthen key positions.

My grandad's lives in Italy in the summer and one of my mums relatives kids looks out for Celtic (used to send shirts over). Says there is a whisper that we're after a 23 year old forward called salvatore foti. Apparently he was a promising youngster but never really made an impact. Big lad, mostly been sent out on loan. Don't know how much truth is in it.

We have to look at the big picture - if we lose tomorrow we will buy. Winning the league is the number one target everything else is a bonus -harsh reality Lenny is playing the long game.

24 Aug 2011 20:26:45
I heard that Lenny told Gary O'connor, if he kept his head down, got himself fit and plays well, that he would try and get him in January.
paddybhoy

I would of took a chance on him. think hes scored 3 goals already for hibs. cant see celtic going in for him though as a fee would be involved. if that was the case, i think celtic would of done a deal similar to which Kapo was on

He only has a one year contract at Hibs.
paddybhoy

Heard this months ago, his sissters supposingly being telling folk,,,derbycelt

Ally mcoist supposedly said that aswell on rangers rumours page HH

Lennon wants to bring in a few more players before the window closes and he says they will push on with it after Thursday, he also said there is nothing imminent though. - Celtic website

Jamie

Don't know what your on about Ed? It's my first ever post, thought I would share info that I heard, which is the whole purpose of the site. Do you think he would be a good signing? {Ed007's Note - No, and I wouldn't like to see Chris Killen back either}

Chris Killen? What you on about Ed? I certainly wouldn't want to see him back Hail Hail Heskey {Ed007's Note - You do know I see your IP address? I can tell who is posting. You did post saying about Killen.}

Wisnae me, must have been ma brother, he speaks aload of s**te

I am disappointed if Neil has said there is nothing immenent as he said on Sunday/Monday we should have a new striker in a couple of days.

24 Aug 2011 19:48:07
Ed, what do you think the chances of Celtic signing a striker before the end of the transfer window?. {Ed007's Note - Good}

24 Aug 2011 17:28:39
Not seen it myself but hearing it's all over Twitter that Santa Cruz is coming in on loan No proper source though Heard anything yourself Ed?


Barrybhoy {Ed007's Note - Just the Twitter stuff Barry, and the Daily Mail are carrying the story. Do NOT trust the Daily Mail. Word in England is that Sunderland look favourites to sign him.}

24 Aug 2011 14:31:49
Rotherham have set a price now on Adam Le Fondre at £350,000

Worth a bet, only a weeks wages of sammuel eto. lol

Would be great value for money.just pay the money n get him up the road

24 Aug 2011 13:03:19
Hi Ed,
REDMONDO72 here...any news of any activity...I know they are in Switzerland at the moment but are there any moves pending?
Cheers....HAIL HAIL {Ed007's Note - Well the latest rumour is McManus is coming back!! Take from that what you will lol}

Cheers Ed,doesn't fill me with joy but if he were to recapture the form that catapulted him to captaincy he would help bolster the backline.What about this Zokora rumour...seems a bit of a strange one.Hail Hail {Ed007's Note -I don't know where that came from, he has only signed for Trabzonspor so I can't see how it is even possible.}

At this moment in time..would have McManus & Caldwell back - Caldwell man of match at last Scotland game with Denmark

Agree mate before I seen this I was saying to a boy in work how they got slated but we haven't yet replaced them . I still don't understand why Darren ODea couldn't have been kept ? {Ed007's Note - I said all along I would rather have seen O'Dea than Majstorovic in the team.}

Mcmanus and Caldwell were hopeless, O,Dea is just as weak, neither will improve the team, the centre back problem was created by strachan and lawell big bobo could still be playing now for us {Ed007's Note - At nearly 36? I would hope not. The only person Balde had to blame for the situation was himself.}

I thought odea would of been a great. Player if given achance as for mcmanus don't know why we let him go....

Cant agree ed, balde was willing to play right through that time, he ended saha,s Man Utd career, lawwell and strachan were clearly to blame for the situation {Ed007's Note - Peter Lawwell that handed him a bumper contract on MONs recommendation?}

24 Aug 2011 12:25:22
just seen on ssn the day that rotherham have set ALF's price at 350.000 with 50,000 in add ons surely we can afford that and we should nip in now and offer it surely we can get him before sum s**tty championship team gets him


GunnieBhoy

Gunniebhoy, Celtic probably knew of this before it was released in the papers, Celtic informed his team that they wanted to be kept inform of anything that happens with ALF, if the move was going to be made I think they would have done it before they announced hw cheap he is going for.

I think there are better strikers out there that Celtic are looking at

Cumby Bhoy

Why is everyone pissing thier pants over a league 2 striker? yeah hes got as good scoring rate but its the 4th tier of english football FFS

Hooper.. just because they play in lower leagues doesn't mean they wont be able to do a job.

More to the point, the article on SSN website doesn't even mention us..

Morning Ed007, Any news on who the Trialist was from the reserves game against Blackpool?

HH
/BB {Ed007's Note - Sorry, absolutely nothing, the game was behind closed doors so it is difficult. Ed003 is a Blackpool man, he is on the case for us.}

Morning Ed007, any word back from Ed003 on the trialist from the other days game against Blackpool?
HH
/BB {Ed007's Note - I never spoke to him yesterday, if he is around today I will see if he has found out anything.}

If Celtic win on Thursday expect lennon to sign 2 attack minded players Adam le fondre is one and lennon is looking g to bring in a striker who can also play rm and am, the liam ridgewell (spelling) are bs he is away to EPL, heard that arsenal will sign dann and cahill lennon is willing to put a loan bid in for squallaci, If arsenal dont complete these signings fast enough expect a captain figure centre half as lennon wasn't happy about determination on Thursday and Sunday

The following players out if parkhead
Paddy mccourt- Liverpool or qpr 3million
Samaras qpr 1.75million
Murphy barnsley 1million
Majstorovic 750k hull city
Maloney cardiff 1million
Cha du ri wigan 750k

Mcourt 1 million
samaras 550k
murthy 400k
majstorovic 900k
maloney 1 milion
cha du ri 800k

Where is yer sources or is it more made up bs. i think the latter is the correct assesment. i mean 3 million for mcourt and not to mention 1.75 mil for samaras. stop spouting sh**e. basically uve scanned the rumours and made this one up from bits and bobs of others.

That creative writing course is really helping you with ideas. I doubt any of your "deals" will happen though.

Every bit of that post is made up. That must have taken a while, dont understand why folk do this

Drew

I dont think you would even get half of the prices on the bottom list imo apart from majstorovic reason being hes playing reguarly again imo. the bear
