Celtic have agreed a fee with Dinamo Zagreb for defender Jozo Simunovic but they face a race against time to sign him before the transfer window closes,

Not holding my breath, as Peter Lawwell will find some "problem"not to go ahead.

Can't comment on the lad but we need somebody in.

Was hoping with Virgil moving for 'big' money seeming a reality we'd hear about Djilobodji again. Opened up the paper and apparently Chelsea want him!

Funny that isn't it! The usual race against time crap! I'm sure it only takes a few hours on a plane from Croatia,and the window shuts at midnight 2morrow! More than enough time! I'll believe this when I see it! The money getting mentioned for this guy Just doesn't sound like a Lawell move for me!

Seemingly the supporters of his current club are online pissing themselves that they got so much for a dud.

It's the Celtic way.

If he's that great why was he only a sub against us in Europe in a poor team last year?

31 Aug 2015 18:20:13
I'm guessing, I could be wrong, but, I'm guessing he might be shite.

31 Aug 2015 20:31:51
Jeez you lot are a right bunch of optimists. If the guy signs and that's if could we not give him a chance at least?

01 Sep 2015 10:03:39
Of course he'll get a chance. Hopefully more of a chance in terms of playing time than a lot of our signings. On the face of it though it's another position where we have weakened.

Andrej karmaric season long loan I what am hearing any truth ed?

31 Aug 2015 11:06:40
No chance will kramaric be coming to us! His agent slaughtered us last season when we were lookin at him! Said they were prepared to sign but we left them hangin on and eventually signed scepovic!! Good move eh lol! Sure he said he would never deal with Lawell again!

31 Aug 2015 11:44:23
Totally agree dh88 we really know how to burn our bridges

31 Aug 2015 19:11:36
Ridiculous move last season this guy would have been top notch for us

31 Aug 2015 09:29:55
Heard the deal for Simunovic could be dead in the water with dinamo demanding a 40% sell on fee with celtic only willing to go to 25%. Anybody eles heard this?

31 Aug 2015 09:55:08
They must have seen our transfers to the epl over the past few seasons and wanting a bigger slice of the pie.

31 Aug 2015 01:02:39
See the old Steven fletcher rumours going about again! Surely must be pish ED? He's on bloody 50 grand a week!!

{Ed007's Note - If this is true the he beginning of the end has begun. I'd rather sign Normal Stanley Fletcheror Jennifer Feltcher .}

31 Aug 2015 01:35:19
We all knew this would happen mate! It's the same old shite leading up to the window! And the same old players! Don't believe a bloody word of it! Just wanted to see if u'd heard anything mate! 4 million pound centre halfs and 50 grand a week EPL strikers! I can here lawells arse collapse from here! Hahaha utter pish!

{Ed007's Note - Dh88 there isn't a CFC that wouldn'tbe elated to see some money on quaiity players but years of being let down has made very a cynical man - still think there will be a Man City loanee brought to appease sections of fans.}

31 Aug 2015 02:35:40
You and me both mate! Just never believe these stories when I hear them! There isn't a chance in hell of these 2 players being with us after the window shuts! Yeh that could be a good shout mate! Man city is who we usually going running to about this time in the window! Wish the window shut tonite so we don't have to hear any more bullshit!

{Ed007's Note - I didnt know who to aswer without coming across as a flippant to any players wards. You know I'd never do that to offend you, it id upset a tourist Klansman that I (swear ) and gave you the (finger)
At lleast he didn't invite me in a boat for a one way ride. - like Wiliam Walton swimming isn't my strong point.
Can we keep the chat about Scotland's newest club to the page set aside for it, there are plenty of posters with no interest in lower league football so just keep clear, if we ignore their posts they might take the hint and go.}

I have nothing againt Steven Fletcher, he's not prolific but he's a tidy footballer. However, if we are willing to pay hefty wages to bring in a striker on loan from the EPL then surely Hooper is the man to go for!? At present we probably make (and miss!) more chances than when he was here, he'd bang them in for fun!

31 Aug 2015 10:38:02
I don't think Fletcher would be a bad signing at all. The biggest issue would be keeping him fit. But at the wages mentioned, I'd say there's definitely better out there. I mentioned last week Beric from Rapid Vienna has scored almost a goal a game for them and it's been reported over the weekend that he's going to St. Etienne for 5m Euros. Surely we can compete in that sort of market.

31 Aug 2015 12:14:45
Mentioned Beric before kev would be a great signing imo. Be humped if he goes for 5m euros. There's a few strikers in that 5-7m EURO bracket I'd love us to just go for but it just isn't happening. Boetius to Basel for 2.5m EUROS got my blood boiling. Would have been perfect for us and for those that care we could have easily trebled our money.
