Jack wilshere available on loan? . Worth a punt I know he's injury prone but if you can get a season out of him he's the type of midfielder we could use.

Agree3 Disagree5

29 Aug 2016 23:29:16
Jog on with Wilshere haha, the guy averages about 48% of matches and on a ridiculous wage. No thanks!

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 23:34:07
Gamboa has signed and will be announced tomorrow.

Agree3 Disagree6

Skinny good to have you back. Keep the rumours coming,

Lucas and Ricky Lambert? Although wages for Lucas could be a stumbling block. From THB forum. Just passing info along.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

29 Aug 2016 21:10:51
A lot of sources on social media saying Liverpools Lucas is the big name that Celtic will bring in before the window shuts!

Believable4 Unbelievable3

29 Aug 2016 22:05:55
Seen it mentioned several times, but who the f'ck knows. look at the right back. done without many people knowing several forms had an incline but the red tops never had a clue, I prefare that they know nothing.

Hopefully and wishful thinking a striker to help Griff and the marquee signing a midfield magician, lubo/ McStay esk its all we ask for.

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 22:12:22
I certainly hope not. He's root. Liverpool have been looking to offload him for ages.

Agree4 Disagree3

29 Aug 2016 22:15:55
Now that would be a good signing! Hope it's true Gaz!

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 22:39:20
He'd be an exceptional signing. Over 300 games for Liverpool and 24 caps for Brazil. Peak of his career too. Wages would surely be a big problem. Although he wouldn't command a big fee so that could help.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 20:53:39
M. RASHFORD on year loan from Man Utd because of Champion league. Happy Days. HH😈.

Believable0 Unbelievable10

What you been drinking tonight mate lol.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 21:53:19
Scatter gun approach here I think. About 6 names reported in the last day.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 21:58:03
Rashford lol. I wish lol. Will be interesting to see what happens in the transfer market between now and Wednesday. BR is hard manager, janko and Gordon were garbage in Europe. He dropped them and now signing a right back. I have no name but I am almost certain another two in including gamboa. one being a CM. efe and Bitton sold.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 22:13:09
No chance that will happen. He's going to play a big part for them this season I suspect.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 08:26:56
Bitton is going nowhere. In time yes, but he will be here until it suits us.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 09:14:00
I agree I don't think Bitton will be going anywhere anytime soon.
Anyone heard any news about James McCarthy or Gamboa?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 14:41:42
Some bloggers saying James McCarthy is booked in for medical today? Can really not believe that, anybody got any info?

Believable1 Unbelievable14

29 Aug 2016 15:50:56
Would love this to be true but not getting my hopes up until i see him in the green and white.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:36:59
Thought he was injured and needed an op?

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:37:19
We're the bookies favourites to sign him at the minute.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 17:21:24
Neil Lennon
Roy Keane
Moyes were all bookies favourites to be our new manager at one point.

Agree3 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 17:41:02
So Kev you are telling us there is a 1 in 3 chance?

I know you were talking about Lennon coming back this Summer but couldn't resist.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 18:03:02
Hope not, would not be much better. decent player, nothing more.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 17:59:54

Why do a lot of people give skinnybhoy grief whether it's made up or not who cares it's a rumor and banter site would be a lot worse if wasn't telling us his info don't let them put you off kid 1 day you will get one right lol.

Agree4 Disagree7

29 Aug 2016 21:23:56
Skinnybhoy's in his mid 60's - he's just retired, and because he's bored he's noising all us up! Well that's what my source told me, I'll try and get round all my contacts over the next few hours, if I'm wrong and he is a kid then apologies Gordo, and your good self Skinny!

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 21:39:26
Gordo

He gets a hard time because he talks poo.

We could all claim to know someone in the boardroom, that players already mentioned on here are signing and that we are signing a no-named player IF X, y and z happens but some of us don't because we live in the real world.

Agree2 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 21:47:48
If poor Skinnybhoy is in his mid 60's he has my sympathy . I am 66 and no one even in my family pay any attention to what I say .
All I feel like doing is enjoy the Celtic ride now, because if we ever tumble I don't think I will be around to see Celtic in the ascendancy again.

Agree1 Disagree4

29 Aug 2016 22:16:37
I know he talks poo mate but it's harmless fun we don't want him scared away before the window closes on Wednesday lol.

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 23:24:43
I prefer a Hoops88 rumour myself.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 07:10:35
Sky sports news transfer analyst commented on mccarthy yesterday and said any deal is unlikely as everton are short on cover in his position and he's technically injured needing an op.
Also Leicester seem interested in him.

Not sure there was anything concrete from us i think any fee would start at 10m.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 14:17:25
Apparently Cristian Gamboa is in Glasgow for talks and due a medical soon. Anyone seen much of him? Know he's fast, but is he any better defencewise?

Believable4 Unbelievable1

29 Aug 2016 14:46:05
(In the jungle the mighty jungle. )

He's our right back, goes forward, gets back. He's Cristian Gamboa.
He's no pretender, he's our defender.
He's Cristian Gamboa.

Ooooooooohhhhh Cristian Gamboa, oh Gamboa Oh Gamboa Oh Gamboa.

Agree1 Disagree7

29 Aug 2016 15:23:13
Remember him from playing in Norway, wasn't just fast, he was bloody fast!
He was OK for Rosenborg, the previous bloke that was able to hold down the right back position was none other than our Lustig, he was never too brilliant for Rosenborg either. (notably better after he signed with us) .

Not sure how much of a defender that comparison makes him. but he should be able to get down the line and cross the ball in front of the goal if nothing else.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 15:23:17
Dear dear dear HL7 lol.

Agree8 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 15:37:57
No disrespect HL7 but that's ****ing terrible.

Agree7 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 15:52:18
Guys Cristian Gamboa name in glasgow is known as "Christ son" he's fast. He has a message for Joey ( i'm the best there is Barton) .
2 letters on the front ( HI) and back (BY) . this guy is so so fast


lol.

Agree1 Disagree5

29 Aug 2016 15:57:31
he was part of costa rica team in world cup that made it to the quarter final in world cup and he's really fast and goes up field alot, i havnt really watched him i just researched him as soon as i heard the news and he seems a good fit for the hoops, that's hoping hahaha.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 15:59:23
but just wondering how much he cost, i read somewhwere that he was priced at 1million.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:00:17
HL7 MURDER.

Agree2 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 16:14:43
Lawell and Park scraping the bottom of the barrel again for average players.

This guy can't even get a game for WEST BROM!

Agree0 Disagree5

29 Aug 2016 16:49:01
I remember that world cup he was one of the top points scoring defenders in the sun dream team comp so he must be good 😀 🍀🍀.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:51:22
He isn't getting a game for west brom because he is a defender who isn't 6 ft plus. The fact tony pulis doesn't rate him is a good sign. he's a guy who once built his team around a player whose of only skill was shying the ball 40 yards.

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:56:47
Big Bhoy what has that got to do with anything?
Plenty very good players can't get into the squads in England right now because of the money being flashed around.

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 17:40:57
Looks a good player. Whenever you doubt a player, think Janko. :)

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 17:51:32
People keep going on about how much is he costing, And blaming PL and Park for this.

Would it make a difference if we spent £6 million on him and I personally don't think BR would have any player forced on him after what happened at Liverpool.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 19:43:42
Jonbhoy doesn't matter what the board do some people just won't give them credit.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 19:57:54
after happy bear shavers BR said he chose Janko because his meds had wore off.

no only joking

He said he chose Janko because of his speed up the wing.

I remember just before half time more than 3 player crossed into their half of the field - 1 being Janko as if they thought - keep it tight, score at half time end the tie - didn't work as he lost the ball - he was fast but couldnae get past my nan.

if we had a rb who was super fit, fast and could take a man on - sign him - does this guy fit the bill - ps we need one of those on the left too.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Aug 2016 10:20:21
Because he can't get gamd time at wesbrom he ain't a decent player? Everyone that watches epl football knows pullis prefers strapping solid looking full backs, bigbhoy you are ultra negative! The guys not even signed yet and your already knocking him and blaming who ever signed him, it was br decision to sign him not Park and lawell, give over with this crap bhoy.
Played at the world cup recently so has a decent pedigree, from clips I've seen he looks like he can defend better than janko, lightening quick, csn cross a ball, and also has a decent shot on him. Time will tell if he comes good for us but let's back the bhoy if he signs.

Hh.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 14:11:27
Gamboa medical happening today sly spurts.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

29 Aug 2016 20:50:37
He might fail it or say he can't move due to family reason then move to Greece or something. Oh wait that only happens at the Dark Side lol.

29 Aug 2016 14:05:15

Believable1 Unbelievable4

29 Aug 2016 14:13:39
Just heard that tae.
Fee has been agreed.
Heard anything ed?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - I mentioned on another thread that I heard Gamboa was due in Glasgow today.}

29 Aug 2016 14:24:18
Hi SB any idea how good this guy is?

Agree0 Disagree4

29 Aug 2016 14:35:34
Think he played in world cup QF so git good experience at high level.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 15:20:30
Sorry cprs don't know much about him except he is lightning fast! Typical YouTube clips he looks good and has a shot on him. Apparently doesn't suit Pulis style of play.

Agree0 Disagree3

29 Aug 2016 15:33:09
Plays for Costa Rica but he couldn't get a game for West Brom.

Agree4 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 15:54:17
theres a shocker Pulis does not do fast lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 17:28:18
anyone know what the price he's got on him.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 17:43:19
They are saying 1m ardoyne bhoy. Aye cprs1 the tactics played by Pullis, Allerdyce and Moyes would get football stopped.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 17:58:14
Reports saying around a million.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 19:57:40
i say a million is a bargain.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2016 12:40:35
Pulis didn't fancy him because he's only 5'9 and not a 6ft+ monster.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 13:37:57
Jordan Rhodes on loan guys can anyone add to this no source just heard it mentioned at work earlier just wondering if anyone else has heard this?

Believable1 Unbelievable5

29 Aug 2016 19:59:58
did he not just sign for 400 000 000 000 million to Boro

why would they loan him out?

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 21:33:51
He has been made available for loan but as I said I'm only asking if anyone had heard anything on this mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 10:28:21
Guys, just passing on what I have been told earlier today. The deals for McCarthy and Wisdom are almost complete and will be announce shortly.

Believable2 Unbelievable16

29 Aug 2016 11:04:36
None of which are marquee. i'm not that bothered anout this marquee but if PL has come out and said BR can have the champs league money then surely he should be looming at at least 1 chanps league quality player.

Weve hardly spent anything give the income from johansen, kazim, scepovic etc.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 11:10:01
Will they aye?

Agree3 Disagree3

29 Aug 2016 11:15:14
I've heard its Gamboa and McCarthy.

Agree2 Disagree5

29 Aug 2016 11:17:46
A loan deal and a player no one in England wants, how very exciting . Not.

Agree4 Disagree4

29 Aug 2016 11:23:06
The Everton manager has came out and said Mccarthy is going nowhere and that he has anever injury that could need an op.

Agree4 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 11:25:30
Can't see us getting McCarthy if Palace are after him permanently.

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Aug 2016 11:26:58
Dafa we've had our ups and downs but I also heard you are spot on about McCarthy however Gamboa was right back but you never know. Quick question does nobody think than signing McCarthy an Irish international at peak of his career, Celtic fan currently playing in premiership is not considered marquee? I for one thought it would be someone else but that's the merry go round of transfers.

Agree5 Disagree4

29 Aug 2016 11:27:23
if they improve the 1st team then yes, everybody all down and depressed cause there's no marquee, yet the board or BR never mentioned the word marquee as far as i know, was all from the media, and we know how they work.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 11:28:27
McCarthy is injured and Koeman says needs operation so that's that one out window.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 11:29:35
Seen article yesterday that RK said, he will not be leaving Everton to go to Celtic as he is staying and might need operation.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 11:34:58
If McCartney signs I'll b absolutely delighted, best midfielder we will have in years.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 12:05:12
Get us mcarthy not considered marquee he will be head and shoulders above anything up here played in epl and euros. Great player if we get him.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 12:16:24
Has anyone actually heard PL state that BR is going to be getting the CL cash?

Im only hearing it here along with this "marquee" carry on.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 12:16:37
A think mccarthy would be a great signing if it happens, just can't see it maself. How anyone could say it wouldn't be is beyond me. Who is it people are expecting to sign that's better? He'll be as big a signing as we've had in a very long time. But as a said a just can't see it happening, hope am wrong but.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 12:24:21
Would be fantastic signin but not happenin Imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 13:42:54
Aye hopefully he brings Lennon, starr and Harrison way him rockerfella 😜😜.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 14:04:04
Gamboa having medical just now.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 14:17:43
Cracker whitebits lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 15:56:23
See wat u done there white bits, seen a guy in Twitter says just spoke to McCarthys agend n says he's no comin to Celtic, but never say never, make of that wat u will.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2016 09:26:07
Apparently there was a potential new signing in the stadium on Saturday, anybody know who it was?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

29 Aug 2016 10:37:35
big dutch guy taking over the catering wyllie, think his name is borger van empty ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 10:54:11
Saw one or two people saying that it was Wisdom but could be nonsense.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 07:22:02
We are looking at Gamboa from WBA due to Liverpool demanding a high loan fee for Wisdom. Unless Rodgers is playing his cards very close to his chest am not so sure we will get this marquee signing, though I hope am wrong.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

29 Aug 2016 08:31:44
Can see a deal for a right back already being in place but us not announcing it until deadline day and that being our only signing. I won't be disappointed as its been a very good window but still think we are short of a centre mid.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 08:50:17
I will be really disappointed if we don't sign another couple come the window, think we will be too good for Scotland but we need help in Europe big time.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 09:21:39
I agree but do think we will see a CM also! Will not be the end of the world if we didn't and would certainly prefer to hold out till Jan then get someone better than just a shirt filler for the sake of it.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 09:37:51
If we don't get this CM that everyone thinks we need then surely Ajer should be given a chance to show what he can do over the next few months.

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 10:37:58
To be honest we are in a bit of a catch 22 situation.

The current squad will win the league at a canter and will spending 8-10 million on a few players realistically give us a chance of getting out of this champions league group?

I would love to see us get a few top quality players in but think we might have to settle for 1 or 2 around the 2 million mark or on loan.

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 10:49:30
Personally i would like to see Ajer instead of Bitton tbh. Bitton has the ability but lacks the determination to run or tackle. A good right back and i'll be happy as we should have enough to walk the league and anything in Europe is a bonus with that group.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 12:20:25
Agree with you niall this is a situation we are in every year.

If anyone thinks PL is going to over invest in the squad for our 6 CL games there smoking too much of the whacky backy.

We have more than enough to have a great domestic season and if we can bring in wisdom i think we will have enough to not be completely embarrassed in the CL.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 13:27:47
Tick

Cheers. Agree this is a problem we face every year but the problem with other managers is that they have bought just to add to the squad and not to improve it. How many Delia signings are in BRs best 11?

I like the fact that BR is bringing in players who will be first 11 picks and are better than what we already have.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 14:54:52
I think wisdom would walk into the team niall but your spot on, build a team 1st then add to squad.

COYBIG.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2016 16:27:09
Surely with all that money we aren't just going to settle for 2 loans? What if Izzy is sold we have no cover at LB, If Griffiths is injured we are short of goalscoring strikers. Still could do with addressing a few positions. ST/ CAM, LW/ RW, LB, RB, CDM.

Agree0 Disagree0
