31 Jan 2012 22:52:48
No one coming in now, at least hooper, stokes, ki, wanyama, forrest and mathews all stay no need to sell cos we're in the money!!
Given Hooper and Stokes are linked with Russian clubs, I wouldn't count your chickens just yet. They've got a few weeks left on they're window.
Exactly mate. We've kept all our big players and strengthened. I'm quite happy we've got more than enough to see off Motherwell and bring the title home. I do think we might move some players on in the summer but well done to the club for keeping them here to make sure we're champions by March !!
Gary
I agree over the moon that weve held onto our major players happy days

Thank God Leon Best is a bit of wood
31 Jan 2012 22:38:00
Awright ed. a lot of talk about one more signing but iv heard the chance of getting someone in is slim to none.
Have you heard anything concrete about a last minute signing?
Nickybhoy {Ed007's Note - I think it has passed Nicky.}
Cheers mate. I thought as much. At least we showed a bit of ambition going for Leon best. Still should have enough to take the league and hopefully the treble.
Nickybhoy {Ed007's Note - Well we have strengthened and Rangers have weakened.}

31 Jan 2012 22:00:21

Nicklas Bendtner from Sunderland on his way to Paradise until the end of the season?? Rumour....but it might have some strong foundation!
HAIL HAIL

No chance. He's on loan to them from Arsenal

hi ed just wondering if scottish transfer deadline is 11 or 12 ? {Ed007's Note - 11 p.m mate.}
31 Jan 2012 21:33:41
I'm hearing that we r working on a deal at the moment. But also think we should take advantage of Portsmouth (who are being dismantled) so get in there defo for this big striker perfect fit and wud be buttons. Also Liam Lawrence is at Pompey (has to get games for Ireland euro) could defo do a job too. We got money for taking back efrain jarez so get in there. When u see the throat u go for it!! End of
CB
Wee lawerance would walk over hot coals to get a crack at celtic .... rangers fans must be greeting into their sashes tonight watching how the mighty have fallen ..if we spend£1 they canny spend 50p ...... loving it

Sly Spurts understands Rangers and Celtic are battling it out for Portsmouth striker Marko Futacs.
The 21-year-old recently revealed he has yet to agree the optional one-year extension which last summer was included in the initial 12-month deal he signed upon arriving at Fratton Park.
Cash-strapped Pompey could therefore be considering selling before Tuesday's 11pm winter transfer deadline in order to make some profit.
Old Firm rivals Rangers and Celtic are consequently monitoring the situation and might attempt to complete a move for the forward.
Jungle Bhoy.
31 Jan 2012 21:18:11
if big duncan is back can he get a chance never given a fair chance he is better than sammy
31 Jan 2012 21:12:53
right as long as we dont sell any of our starting 11 then this league has to be ours,no excuses no nothing. admin is round the corner for that lot so lets draw the boot right off them & sink them
lenny
You lot are so deluded. no league win in 3 years and the chance to nail gers with a big signing and you get some pole whose record of 3 in 19, wow or best, 48 goals in 8 seasons. what happened to rhodes, diawara, molina etc more guff that the deluded believe. enjoy being losers again {Ed007's Note - Enjoy those lemons, but you sound better enough. We would list Rangers failures but it would clog up the page, let's just start with Whyte, Smith, Russell and FPLG. That should be enough to see you in admin.}
31 Jan 2012 21:06:35
i think johnny russell would be a great signing has there been anything else about him ed? i think david templeton and johnny hayes would also be greta signings, two out and out wingers
Nick1888
Russell and templeton be great signings don't agree on Hayes tho!! Russell similar to what we have in stokes, hooper an brozek, think hooper could be away in the summer so Russell could fit in then!?
Big bad John
I like hayes he is fast, strong and can score and create goals
31 Jan 2012 21:01:30
Jellyfish away for £5.5m, he cost them £4m and they've paid his wages for a year and a half, and for four of those months he was crocked. Great business sense from the darkside!
Also bidding for Holt appears to be a PR stunt, he has scored regularly for Norwich, is their club captain and why would Lambert do them any favours?
DazzaBhoy
You were doing so well with that post... until that last line!! Do you honestly think Paul Lambert, Norwich manager, cares about who bids for his players? All he cares about is what is best for his club. Comments like that are nonsense and right up there with 'so and so won't sign for Celtic cos he's a diehard bluenose'. These players will go where they feel is best for their career, not where will please any potential knuckledragging family member!! Get a grip guys!
JD
Plus won the league and the CIs cup and a bag full of goals nobad timmy ;)
Everton buy jellyfish for 5.5 million but rankers still owe everton 1 million for weir so does this mean they receive 4.5 million
31 Jan 2012 21:01:07
News from b*c transfer feed...
For those Celtic fans asking, yes the trail has gone quiet for the moment. However, we're hearing that there may still be some movement before 2300 GMT. Stay with us!
11th hour marquee maybe??
Why would you errect a big tent! green jhedi {Ed007's Note - A party? A friend of mine in London is having a party/concert at his home for a few days, Grandpa Banana (Google him young ones) flew in yesterday and what started as a small gathering has turned into a small concert, he ended up hiring a marquis for his garden. Oh how the other half live!!}
Celtic have 1 eye on rangers , they wont sign anybody else tonight
Ha ha a bowel movement? No thanks lol
Big bad john
31 Jan 2012 20:54:40
well i for one am glad its nearly over and weve not made the usual crazy marquee, signing saving plenty dough , plenty players to see us win the league this season tucker1888,
Well said! More important that we don't lose any important players!
Big bad john
We could of got shot of some dead wood and freed up even more money
Nah I disagree I'm afraid.
A marquee signing such as the rumoured Miroslav Klose would've just been the cherry on the icing on the cake on a day where Rangers got somewhat of a hammerblow by the media, lost out on signing Jorge Claros as they couldn't even compete with...Hibs, lost Jelavic for just over half the 10M they all believed he was worth and look like they won't be signing anyone as a replacement despite dead-end bids for Grant Holt *cough* as a PR stunt *cough*. I don't even think the refs can dig them out of this one.
We'd be getting Samaritan worthy calls made from the edge of windows and balconies on Clyde 1 tomorrow night. Now we'll merely get a few tears.
My advice for anyone feeling like this though is don't worry - you still have David Healy!
New to the site...hello fellow tims..it appears there is activity at CP(BBC Scot)
Lemo {Ed007's Note - Welcome Lemo.}

Celtic done in this current transfer window 1 or 2 young players out on loan but that's it no more players in
31 Jan 2012 19:17:59
Id be very surprised if any1 comes in now with only a few hours left especially a striker as we already have 6 strikers at the club and with juarez returning we have plenty of mid fielders as well
31 Jan 2012 19:11:51
Hi ed, just looking on the celtic website and i was reading about the the development game. The team consisted of two unnamed strikers, any idea. Cheers
St Mikey {Ed007's Note - I have no idea, sorry. It was not Salihi or Uchebo.}
Thanks for checking anyway ed.
St Mikey {Ed007's Note - I'm sure that one was a young Irish player, but TBH I have that many names in my head just now I can't think of his!!!!! Sorry.}
It was Caolan Lavery ex Ipswich striker. {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate, appreciated.}
31 Jan 2012 19:11:38
Heard Kostas Manolas has rejected Everton and is talking to us. You heard anything on this Ed?
31 Jan 2012 19:21:29
sly spurts said celtic unlikely to sign anyone, but lennon still looking for a striker. you think well get anyone ed? {Ed007's Note - Kind of sums up a Sly story all in one sentence there, well done mate.}
There may be some truth in this mccoist leaving rumour.i know an spl chairman personally and he has heard the same thing.rangers have sold there sole to the devil.hail hail
31 Jan 2012 19:16:06
This might just be rubbing salt in the wounds but think we should stick in a cheeky bid for sandaza, dont think hed get near the team but surley it would be worth the headlines tomorrow!! {Ed007's Note - I think we would need to sign Ronaldo and Rooney to steal the headlines tomorrow if I am hearing correctly.}
Hows that ED? What have you heard for tomoro mate.
~Loken8bit~ {Ed007's Note - There is still plenty to come out about Whyte and Rangers. I have said it for over a year about their financial meltdown. Here is their ex chairman Alistair Johnston:
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/16821348.stm
What are you hearing ed?? What's going on behind the scenes?
Big bad john {Ed007's Note - Where do you want me to start BBJ. HMRC are investigating the takeover....other revenue been mortgaged....£40+ million debt no matter the outcome of tax case(s)....Whyte receiving the mortgaged season ticket money BEFORE the take-over......The list goes on and on mate.}
Administration tomorrow then ed?
Don74 {Ed007's Note - I don't think so, not yet.}
Hah screw that...I've a better idea.
1. Submit an acceptable bid for Sandaza;
2. Get him over to Celtic Park, show him around, waste the subsequent 1 or 2 hours discussing a contract and explaining the history of the club;
3. Just as he's ready to sign (make sure it's no more than 10 min before the deadline) stall the deal and demand he drop his wages, only to cancel with a minute to spare or tell him you're no longer interested as the dealine has passed.
4. Sandaza walks away without a contract and it's too late to sign for Rangers.
I'd feel sorry for the guy and it'd write off any chances of signing him in the future but it's one way to deny them one of their few affordable and viable targets.
Additional benefits include not having to pay his wages, not having an expectation to field the guy and not putting up with references to Glenn Loovens every 5 min if he turns out dire.
Tip: This works on Football Manager and is especially good around deadline day. Offer them key player status, and a contract too good to refuse...player accepts, you delay transfer until deadline day and cancel at the last minute.
That would be nice!!must be some news somewhere
I know we wount get any one but its great fun today...
bristolcelt
Cheers ed, loving the bragging rights! Just wonder how it could pan out for Scottish football or spl anyway?!
Big bad john

Just got a call from a family member that was told by a fitness trainer from murry park that Ally mcoist will quit tomorrow after a big fall out after being told he will receive none of the cash from the sale of jelavic!
I checked out the odds at my local bookies and they have had a surge of bets on the very same thing! .
Didn't look very happy on the news tonight!
I do feel for him he has been hung out to dry by White!
Pickle
A dont beleive sally has ever spoke tae a fitness trainer, might be quittin tho
mcdab
I think Craig Whyte is a secret Celtic fan, must be he's doing Rangers no favours, he's actually doing them big harm, who wants to win a league title every year with no other decent teams in the said league, it'll end up just a rubbish league
Just saw pics on TV of the bold fat lad leaving Ipox and he was not best pleased looking.
Stormed past the laptop loyal not even cracking a smile.
You might find he's already quit!
LMFAO

Mc Coist wil quit by 23.00

commons could be away!
talk of swap deal with lambert.
snyde 1.
also could be a bidding war for hooper mentioned!
How many pies are involved in the signing on fee?
Keep commons no matter what the guys got the class to change a game for us
So Southampton try and sigh Hooper to help with the promotion quest and fail. Now they are going to sell there top scorer to us..... why post sh*t like this ? Away and count the amount of depatures from snake mountain.
There was nothing about this on snyde 1.

Did u expect anything else?
CB
The bid was 4 jaffa cakes,2 irn bru bottles and 4 fitba boots all left feet!
Nice one craig. "bid" for a player you had no chance of getting. that way the diddies think you are active in the market, talk about gullible !
I don't think Rangers expected to have it accepted. They probably put in a bid they knew wouldn't get accepted. That way it LOOKS like they're trying to get a good replacement when asked.
A Typical Whyte-spin on things.

sandaza to choose between Celtic and Rangers.

Hopper is off, put in a transfer request, wants to go to southampton, not Russia.
The klose rumour is exactly that, he wing coming and has been offered to nearly all top clubs in Britain, even that lot.
This is all true, no need to lie
What an @rse. Why wait until Southampton buy two strikers before posting your bullsh1t, you fool.
Behave yourself. N stop greeting about Jela.;(
CB
So, hopper wants to go back to the level he was at before lol!
no need to lie....so why are you?
and regardless if he puts in a transfer request...which he didn't....celtic will not sell him
taco
Geez peace
NONSENSE!!! i know for a fact that this is lies i am currently with a member of the celtic board
Skinnybhoy
Saddo
Get a life
C
This is old news pal, he hasnt asked for a transfer, but has been asked to keep up to speed with the Southampton bid.
been told a bid of 6.5 will be enough.
its true, murphy says no to pool, holding out till the summer for a more attractive team, big gers fan but means nothing, but his dream is epl.
Klose rumours, dont entertain then bhoys.
if we go for any it will be Templeton or Russell, only if commons (southampton) or the derry pele (blackpool) move on.
celtic have put reasonable prices on these 2, derry pele one is a non starter cause pool have offered 150k for a 12 month loan, taking him till next christmas, southampton WILL come back with another offer for commons, who also likes the idea of going back down south.
one strange one to come from parkhead is the interest in the boy from rapid, sahili (whom by the way wasnt playing in bounce game)... we have 1st choice on this guy but lenny is waiting on moves going out, not sure who else could move as stokes is staying, sami staying, forrest staying....
could be an interesting "jim white" show tonight!

Is there a law thats aya you cant come back to the town you left , that being your home town. I can just see them let a player who was subject to bid of 25 million recently let loose on Caley Thistle's fine fair play squad. Remember Shinnie's tackle on Paddy?

Celtic didn't bring him back!.......(Efrain Juarez is returning to Celtic after his loan deal with Real Zaragoza was terminated.) but will probably act now as cover for kayal.
BarryBhoy
Zaragoza terminated his loan. We never recalled him. So Lenny will probs look to shift him on if possible
He wasnt amazing for us the last time he was here, he was pure p1sh!

is it true that kolse is on his way to celtic? i hope he is new number 7
31 Jan 2012 16:08:53
Just heard tht celtic will put a bid in for robert snodgrass for the number 7 shirt. RT HH
Rangers in the driving seat with this one lads, even though he is a Celtic man, sees himself gettin a game for them.
Ave head this will b done within the next 2 hours.
One player on his way to madness is a barca youth player, for what reasons I dint kno. Sean

Celtic in talks with Kallum Higginbotham
He's already travelled down to huddersfield son
He's travelled to huddersfield ! Try keeping up to date
Already held talks with Rangers and Celtic
He's on his way to huddersfield
31 Jan 2012 15:34:14
Southampton in for Kris Commons.
Any truth in that! {Ed007's Note - Quite possibly. I said weeks ago they were interested in him.}
Yeh they put a bid in for him its on sky spurts but it was rejected by celtic
No way {Ed007's Note - WAY DUDE!!!}
Celtic rejected the bid
31 Jan 2012 15:30:43
Not surprised yesterdays 'red hot' gossip on arrivals has cooled down rapidly in the cold light etc.....
But if I'm honest I had hoped for at least ONE signing on top of Brozek to help under-line our intent. Templeton's name has been mentioned by quite a few on here and he is not over-priced and a target-man did appear to be NL's priority so maybe a wee last minute deal may still materialize.
What happened to the Wilson to Leeds and McCourt to Blackpool? Nothing on Sly or Txt as yet?
Will wait and see but as soon as that master of master-baiters Jim Whyte's daft big face appears on that 40ins screen it's goin aff!! Keep us posted ED?
Great work as usual on a busy, busy day. Cheers!
Jungle Jim {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. Blackpool had another nudge at McCourt but that has been turned down. I think they are wanting him on loan instead of buying him. The Wilson one was very strange.}
Wilson is away to Leeds on loan after a bounce game. Makes sense to me tbh I think Wilson is in his last year good servant but a bit injury prone. He is probably 3rd choice at both right back and left back. We have plenty cover so makes sense to get him off the wage bill. BroxTim {Ed007's Note - I thought the Leeds deal collapsed and now Bristol City were talking to him???}
Ed i see thats what been reported. My big bro lives down in Leeds and was him that txt me this morning. All dirty Leeds fans askin about him. They were under the impression it was a done deal. Waiting for him to txt me an update. BroxTim {Ed007's Note - Cool, cheers.}
31 Jan 2012 15:21:38
Just knocked back bid from Southampton for commons!
Plus great article regarding the money all scots teams have spent on transfers in the past five years. Pretty interesting reading we've kept it pretty even, you'll never guess whos 13m down? Lol
CB
31 Jan 2012 15:21:22
Welcome back Efrain. Looks like he is indeed part of our plans.
Speaking exclusively to the official Celtic website, Neil Lennon said: â'We are pleased to have Efrain back after his loan spell ended in Spain, and he will provide us with some more options in the side, particularly with Beram being out injured, as we look ahead to the second half of the season.'
Ed what did I say about a week or so ago? ;o)
HH
/BB {Ed007's Note - Good stuff, you did. If he comes back and knuckles down he could be like a new signing.}
Strange thing was he looked great until utrecht! green jhedi
Yes exactly, same with commons too. It's all good n the hood man. I'd like to see the big yin Fraser sign today (some sources claim its ongoing as we speak). And if we did get another striker in cherry on cake. Just need rid of the usual suspects n I can see us doing what we have to do, simples! Mon the hoops
Hail hail
Cb
Cb
Top spanish newspaper listed him in the top 10 worst signings in spain ,dont get it played fine for international team
Ed- Any idea how Efrain's stint in Spain went?
Delighted he's back as I think he looked promising at the start of his career with us.
Keep up the good work Ed. I won't believe what Jim White says on sly sports if it doesn't come from u 1st....HH

Hooper will not be sold in this window. My old bhoy was at a meeting at CP 10 days ago where NL said that Lawell was out the country and he had been given authority to veto any bids. Will not be sold unless funny money offered but did hint that Hooper will be offered a new contract at the end of the season and if no deal can be agreed then it is likely we will listen to offers while he has still 2 years remaining on his contract. BroxTim
Haha Lennon has the authority to Veto bids? he's only just started being allowed on the team bus
To the walloper above. This is true. Apparently 2 bids were made by Southampton. Not 3 as reported by the daily rag. Lawell was out of the country and gave Lennon authority to knock back or accept bids. BroxTim
Why why why would u post this nonsense ??
31 Jan 2012 15:13:44
First time posting. Would like to see a player who can fill the number 7 shirt for the hoops. Think Rhodes would do the job nicely.
31 Jan 2012 14:52:59
See Sly Sports reporting Rangers have made a bid for Holt. Is It just a coincidence they put odds of 1-6 on him staying at Norwich and 7-2 on him going to Rangers 10mins before announcing that?
Mark67 {Ed007's Note - Is it just coincidence that they even give you betting odds?}
31 Jan 2012 14:27:59
Efrain juarez has returned to the hoops
Skinnybhoy
Aye he's returned to eat up a bit more of our wage Bill!
Darren
Zaragoza still have to pay his wages until the end of the season davie c {Ed007's Note - And have already paid a loan fee to cover the year. So if CFC loan him out again today, they get another loan fee coming in.}
Give him a game. He's a good player.
He could play a part u. Never know man?
Kayals out was possibly looking at hunt don't need to now. He defo a decent player.

31 Jan 2012 14:22:09
just heard from a mate that were in for van nistelroy and saw on sly spurts news the boy from falkir higginbottom has been offord to 1 of 5 clubs both old firm crystal palace hudersfield and some ohter team. out of contract in summer. imo he would be a quality signing for us dirt cheap petty wages and defo a player. reminds me of a bit like lubo..
31 Jan 2012 14:20:37
Transfer fees spent
Team 06/07 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11 Total
Celtic £5,865,000 £5,598,000 £7,434,000 £8,350,000 £8,150,000 £35,397,000
Rangers £3,759,000 £6,994,000 £8,798,000 £7,339,000 £6,420,000 £33,310,000
Not a great deal in it.
Ian
Celtics squad is much bigger and most players wages are higher though. Makes a big difference!
Apart from seasons 2006 - 2010 that lot were avaoiding payinmg tax. {Ed007's Note - They used the EBTs up until 2010.}
Look at the money's in though! We made approx 35m through transfers out whereas rangers made approx 20... We made profit of 170k when looking at these figures when they lost around 14m... Although I'd be surprised if rangers actually paid what they owed given recent events!
31 Jan 2012 14:19:24
Hey ed iv been hearing that rangers will b going into administration either l8r on today or 2moro. I knw iv seen posts earlier but got phoned bout it. Yogi ( smarter than ur average bear)
Possible mate. The rumour was the reason the shame were holding out for 10mil for jellyfish was that even if they win tax case there is a 10mil hole for them to be able to continue next year wages and other overheads. Heres hoping!! BroxTim
Well someone obv thinks our daft enoiugh to beileve it to phone you.
31 Jan 2012 14:11:24
Lennon to sign forster in last minutes of today in hope that will not give enough time for spurs norwich or arsenal to make higher bid.
Doesn't matter if they make a higher bid, celtic have first refusal on an agreed 2m fee....as long as they pay that, spurs , norwich or arsenal could bid £20m and it would not matter
taco
Celtic have first refusal for fixed fee, so no need to buy as they are not paying his full wages
Ed can you clear up I was under the impression that Celtic would have first refusal but could be outbided by another club. {Ed007's Note - The £2 million fee is agreed with CFC. If they can agree personal terms then he will sign for the £2 million. Even if Real Madrid bid £15 million for him, if he agrees the terms at CFC we still only pay £2 million, that fee is only agreed with us.}
31 Jan 2012 14:05:05
Loan fee for Brozek is 325,000 Euros {Ed007's Note - The buying fee has been set at 800,000 Euros as well.}
31 Jan 2012 14:02:46
Strong rumours suggest that a deal will he done for Dundee utd's johnny Russell
31 Jan 2012 13:55:02
IS there anything in the pipeline guys?
i mean id be happy with the squad as it is, but its always nice to be sitting tonight hoping for a sneaky wee signing to make ye feel warm lol.
in all seriousness anyone know if there are moves afoot to surprise the fans with a sneaky "big name"?
Spiceybhoy
VIVA
I'd be more happy with getting rid of a few players rather than signing them. Hopefully get that CB in, then ship a few. 4-5 strikers (Hoops, Stokes, Brozek, Sammy + possible new signing) seems a tad much to me. Maybe the pursuit of a new signing means one of the three mentioned above is away? I know my preference
Dunc
Spiceybhoy? I was more a posh man myself lol
Cb {Ed007's Note - Geri for me. Her 'classiness' kind of appealed to me ;-)
31 Jan 2012 13:16:52
Anything going to happen you think ed? Pretty quiet so far? {Ed007's Note - Hopefully.}
31 Jan 2012 12:53:56
Ed what happend to Ingolfer Sigurdsson ? {Ed007's Note - I'm not 100% sure, he wasn't/hasn't been, offered a deal yet anyway.}
He has signed for Lyngby on 3yr deal
31 Jan 2012 12:51:07
Does anyone know why James Mcfadden is at Aberdeen Airport? {Ed007's Note - That's far enough away from Glasgow for me!}
I heard hes signing for Peterheid!! Sopot Celt
Dont care!
Well known fact he's mad for the arbroath smokies nips up every now and again for his fix
He's buying some sheep
Off shore oil rig xi need him to guide in Helicopters with Table tennis bats
Bhaldrick
Ask him?
Faddy loves a sheep. But a better question would b any idea why u are posting such mince
Cos he is about to sign for Aberdeen on loan
31 Jan 2012 12:28:17
jorge carlos has signed for hibs on loan bad days when rangers are out done by hibs
FozzY csc {Ed007's Note - For every fiver Rangers spend Hibs will spend a tenner.}
LOL.....sorrry but seeing anyone who goes on trial with the Rankers signs for someone else
Rangers only showed interest to unsettle the player and interfere with signing talks with Hibs! That gave them an advantage at the weekend! Sopot Celt
Ha ha great comment ed I love it when you take the p*ss the others, I remember when they did the same to us just before fergus bought us. god I hated those arrogant bitter and twisted comments
Nice one ed007 FozzY csc
Ed you said "for every fiver" think you mean just the fiver since they dont have much more than tht lol , but seriously things must be going to s**t over the road , question for ye do you think if they went under we'd be ok ? {Ed007's Note - Yes I do.}
31 Jan 2012 12:08:57
hi ed, have you heard anything about the jellyfish deal fallening through they couldn't agree personnel terms apparently it was on radio forth dont know if its true a friend who is a falkirk fan said it was on the 12.00 news {Ed007's Note - They are saying that it was his 40k a week wage demands that were an issue. I have spoke to someone in Liverpool who says it is nonsense, Everton can afford to pay that and he is there just now.}
Everton just got rid of someone on 40k and for 5million so it'll just be offered to jelavic end off. Can't see many other EPL teams after the much sought after man lol
Cb
31 Jan 2012 12:08:25
Ed, has the earlier story linking us with a move for Klose got any truth behind it? Where did the story come from? I couldn't believe it when I read it. I don't want to be the pessimist but there must be a lot of clubs (EPL, Serie A, La Liga) interested in landing him as he is pure class. He has always been one of my favourite strikers and would be the perfect signing, even at 33. He would tear up the SPL and help immeasurably with our European endeavours. I think this would be the coup of the century. {Ed007's Note - It is true that CFC were one of numerous clubs alerted to his availability and sent details of what the deal entailed.}
Chris McLaughlin of B*C on twitter saying no contact was ever made between anyone regarding this deal. {Ed007's Note - So? Tell him he is talking sh1t and please stop boring us with what is on Twatter. If we wanted to know, we would use it.}
31 Jan 2012 12:06:35
Hi Ed, First time poster on the site, Absolute love the work you put into it.
Just a query, I know there has been speculation that the trialists in the development squad were salihi and ucehbo, but is there any proof. Celtic are keeping their cards close to their chest and no releasing there names on the official website.
Keep up the good work {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. There is no evidence to back up who the trialists were, it just seems speculation. Albanian press reports (and others) are still saying Salihi is going to China.}
31 Jan 2012 11:59:03
If celtic will not sign Marc Janko than I would be happy with Hamdi Salihi and Patrick Helmes. Any one agree? Hail Hail
31 Jan 2012 11:56:34
Hearing from my mate that works down south, Celtic are competing with west brom for the loan signing of van nistlerooy!?
Hahaaha. I love this site! Sopot Celt
Aye and if that falls through we'll just get and extra 100k and buy an actual horse!
31 Jan 2012 11:29:15
celtic made an enquiry for johnny Russell of dundee utd but think his price is to high
FozzY csc
Ha ha, Jorge (the pit bull) thst Rankers messed about just signed for hibs!! Lol lol lol. You couldn't make this up if you tried.
Another great trialist success Sally lol
Cb
31 Jan 2012 11:06:27
ed what do you think the repicutions could be for the spl any thought just im thinking the worst thngs like sponsership deal {Ed007's Note - There will be repercussions no doubt. Look at Serie A, they are still recovering from their own scandal a few years back, this could be worse. Scottish football's reputation will be dragged down even further by this.}
All through the years with the dodgy penalties to rangers, the ones not given to us, Hugh Dallas etc, what really sticks in my throat to this day still is the Jorge Cadete transfer Saga.
I reckon that if Cadete's transfer hadn't been delayed that we would have won the league that year. Was Tommy Burns the best Celtic manager never to win the league. Corruption in the SPL and Rangers are a match made in heaven, but they can all go to hell.
Bet you think the American government were responsible for 9/11 as well
31 Jan 2012 02:48:50
I'd like to say Ed great site, keeps me updated 12000 miles away! Josh Kennedy, Australian striker, plays in J-League, was top scorer last season. I think is a free agent not sure, but at 6'6" has done enough to warrant a second crack at Europe. He'd be cheap AND he looks like Jesus! What do you think?
GoldCoastBhoy {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. I would think you know more about Kennedy than I do but his record at Grampus and with Australia is impressive.}
If he looks like Jesus...get him signed - we might need a miracle to win the treble...
Looks like jesus??? we've already goat sumbiddy who looks like that......................
his names oan the tip ae ma erse...........
pp fae p {Ed007's Note - Afternoon Pat.}
31 Jan 2012 10:42:39
With all the speculation it a wait and
see job to find out the truth.
I think it would be good to bring in
a new striker just to freshing things
up for the run in. Jonny Russel is not
the answer so I hope its not him. A
good target man that has a proven
goals record would be great. If we
get one in I think we should let
Sammy go if we need to lose any
of our current strikers. He's done a
job for us.Sandaza at 300k may be a
cheap short term answer. He's come
on to a game
Bud I was with you until you said sandaz would be a good buy? No way, no how. He's not a good player at all. Leave him well alone. Just IMO.
Cb
Sandaza the wedding singer aint celtic class couldn't cut it at dufc or in the championship with brighton ok scored goals for st johnstone but wouldn't get a game for us he'd be 4rth or 5th choice striker
31 Jan 2012 10:39:26
Just got to laugh at all the shame posting nonsense about Hooper and Stokes leaving, we arent as desperate as you lot,
31 Jan 2012 10:08:04
ive a very big hunch that either Hooper or Stokes will be sold today. I really hope not, but that would explain why we're looking at strikers still.
31 Jan 2012 09:29:30
Hi Ed has Janko signed for Porto, Have checked lastest Porto news they dont have any money This would be a great signing for us {Ed007's Note - Portuguese press reports are saying he has signed.}

Pavlechenko's Spurs career is over. Whats the chances of celtic having the cash for him?
Zero

Yes they both played against Fleetwood town in a development squad game.

Yes. Both played but neither scored.

Read the record online Bhoys, the S*it has hit the fan at Ibrokes, Hail Hail
So they've sold of their season tickets, their catering and their shirt sale and next its Jelavic. Will Rangers have any assets left for the administrators to sell to cover their debt.
31 Jan 2012 07:21:58
You were right ed,Whyte has sold 4 years of season ticket money to fund the buy out of Rangers AND he is being investigated over non payment of tax since he took over the club.In todays Record but not on their website yet.
Jungle Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - I've been saying it for months JB, at least the truth is coming out now. #pennyarcadedropping
Craig whyte seen today at the money shop and cash for gold for a loan off 3 quid
31 Jan 2012 05:00:16
Ed, Didn't NL price Hooper at £35m a couple of weeks ago? So to all potential suitors, PAY UP OR SHUT UP.
"THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT" {Ed007's Note - I think that was a tongue in cheek comment from NL.}
Do you think there is a possibility of Hooper being sold this transfer window Ed ? I seriously hope we are not considering selling as it could hinder our chance of the treble. Also, we don't know if the new players coming in are going to be an instant his, as has happened with Bangura. {Ed007's Note - I would be astounded if Hooper is sold.}
31 Jan 2012 02:51:41
Celtic sign salihi!!
Bring on the treble!!
Peter lawell, John park...best signings Celtic made in years!!
31 Jan 2012 00:14:44
MONACO also preparing a bid for Hooper . Billionaire owner needs goals and will offer 4 times what he is on at Celtic to try and regain good times to this massive club which lingers near bottom in 2nd flight french league
JW .... news that not many other people know til I break it
Monaco, that's where the shyte knight was exiled.
Total p""h , your own page and knockbacks too distressing for you
Ska bhoy
JW = Joby Weecher!
Pure nonsense....and constant!
Hooper and Stokes will both still be at Paradise by the close of activities!
Tellin' ye
Before Monaco are able to offer Hooperman 4x his salary Monaco need permission from CFC and tat aint going to happen.
CFC, the most dominant club in Scotland for years 2 come....HHH
