Kyogo❤️❤️ is not going anywhere in this transfer window.
?.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 15:51:49
Brendan has confirmed Kyogo is in our Squad for Sunday.
Kyogo hasn’t scored a competitive goal this season but he’s been looking very sharp.
Loads has been made about Kyogo not scoring an away League goal since our 4-1 victory at Hearts in October.
Although he did score away to St. Mirren in the Scottish Cup this Calendar year.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 16:02:10
Neither might MOR be, he is in squad for Saturday so BR said.
He also didn't say there will be playerscomung in be he said we will hopefully have 1 or 2 in.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 16:23:30
All the speculation and second-guessing certainly doesn't help ease the uncertainty during these 'windows' and I posted several days ago that I suspected a few rumours were generated to unsettle us (and even our players if they read them) . MOR, Kyogo and probably Hatate will all be in the squad for Sunday despite all the 'expert' leaks.
I also read this week that MJ had gone to Burnley, but lo and behold he is now being linked with Sheffield Utd? I will be content when the window closes, probably not with the squad but the end of bullcrap.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 20:10:33
Did anyone really believe man city would sign kyogo? I would still let him go if a team is happy to pay over 10 million for him but I don't see that happening. Let's hope we get a move on and bring some more players in or it will have been another poor window.

Was having a general chat with a couple of my Celtic workmates who are STH.
When renewing there tickets, and then accessing there online Celtic accounts they said there was something different showing. along the lines of credit with Celtic store, merchandise etc.
1 of them phoned Celtic to find out what this was and he was told that "we are going to introducing a STH resale scheme". "There will be a trial in a certain section of the stadium to start with" and "STH will receive credit to purchase items within superstore, tickets, etc".
Apparently no exact date was given but my mate thought the lady he spoke to was hinting it was going to happen quite soon.

4.) 24 Jun 2024 16:19:15
I wonder what the argument is for our club not having a resale option. I think there must be a reason, maybe not a good reason, but at the same time some reason why our Board hasn’t adopted a season book resale previously. Anything that improves the attendance, particularly after full house notices has been issued . A few seasons ago a man sat down next to me, he said he was from Linwood, and he calls at TO just after KO and can buy a ticket .
Mustn’t be a widespread practice.

Have read that Ange has confirmed and been quoted as saying they won't be appealing Calmac red card as it "was fair enough having reviewed video".
?.
1.) 05 Oct 2022 13:16:49
He is right too. It was a red card for me. One can't see welsh getting back he's not that fast and second Hart is way off his line and never getting back if the motherwell player shoots.
2.) 06 Oct 2022 14:44:23
I think Harts positioning is key, it makes it a clear goal scoring opportunity. Had he been on his line then there’s an argument to say covering defender might have got across in time.
02 Aug 2022 12:24:31
Hi Ed.
Charlie Nicholas (yes our very fav ex Celt ??) is doing the rounds saying we should or will be signing an Arsenal player called Pablo Mari.
What's your thoughts?
Ps. No sweary words lol
?.
{Ed007's Note - I really don't know much about him to be honest Brian.
Pablo Mari (CB) Has made it clear he wants to be playing. An initial loan to Udinese may have been made permanent at the right price, but that did not happen. Hellas Verona and A.C. Monza offer him an option as a starter - perhaps Milan as cover.
Has anyone else noticed that Charlie Nicholas is more publicly supportive and vocally positive about Celtic since Sly ditched him? I've admitted that I was in tears when Nicholas left Celtic in '83 - he should have went to Liverpool btw - but since the fall out with the old board he just seemed to turn into a soup-taking bam.}
1.) 02 Aug 2022 13:32:09
He's a bam alright ed, loved him as a player and was heart broken when he left, but some of the sh@t he comes out with is embarrassing.
{Ed007's Note - Definitely but he just seems to be a bit more pro-Celtic since he left Sly.}
2.) 02 Aug 2022 13:46:17
Nicholas is as bad a judas as Mojo imo and that is a hill I am willing to die on.
If the money is right he will crucify the club or our players without second thought.
One of the first thing Martin O'neill done was sort that clown out. Banned him from wandering about like he owned the place.
The only reason he is talking us up is he wants to make money going in to supporters clubs to give talks.
Guys like him, Walker, Proven and Commons should never be allowed back in Parkhead.
{Ed007's Note - ??
3.) 02 Aug 2022 14:00:02
Since he left sly he's definitely more pro us, but he's still coming out with mince.
{Ed007's Note - ??
4.) 02 Aug 2022 14:02:48
Oops
Perhaps I've opened up some unhealed scars about Nicholas.
Personally am not sure what to make of him?.
?.
5.) 02 Aug 2022 14:04:11
I think, wait for it, Nicolas has a point (I never thought I'd type that) ?
In European terms, I think we need better than shat we presently have to partner CCV and an experienced, quality, left sided CB fits the bill.
Whether that's the big Spaniard at Arsenal I couldn't say.
☘️ ? ☘️.
6.) 02 Aug 2022 14:06:23
I think Champagne Charlie has a good bit to go Kev before he is as bad as Judas ?.
Agree though that him and the rest you've listed should be banned for life from setting foot inside paradise.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 02 Aug 2022 14:20:27
I don’t really understand this ‘anti’ feeling re Walker, Provan, Nicholas and Commons. They all played some really great games for Celtic and scored some really great goals. If they give/ have given an honest appraisal re Celtic which is not over flattering, so be it. Better that than being surrounded by sycophants like Kris Boyd or Kenny Millar.
No, they were good players who served Celtic well, and whilst I don’t always agree with what they say, they are alright by me.
?.
{Ed007's Note - Commons was leaking stories to the press.}
8.) 02 Aug 2022 15:07:30
I didn’t know that. Presumably they were harmful stories betraying a trust?
He was still a good player though, and some of the goals he scored (and set up) were immense.
?.
{Ed007's Note - Hugh Keevins was getting a lot of information about Celtic from Commons.}
9.) 02 Aug 2022 15:56:14
Probably via his missus Mark, she was trying to become a social media figure. HH.
{Ed007's Note - ?
10.) 02 Aug 2022 18:39:19
On the same thread about previous leaks at Celtic.
Did we ever find out who was leaking the starting team line ups during Lennon's last stint?
Were leaks actually happening regarding that or was it Lennon trying to cover up when / if team were playing bad or got bad result?
?.
11.) 02 Aug 2022 23:48:21
Commons should’ve been booted in the baws and let go after the way he acted when deila subbed him he’s a wee ****.
12.) 03 Aug 2022 14:18:55
@ BRIAN G, probably Lennon as the leaks stopped when he left.
13.) 04 Aug 2022 12:23:25
Nope Pedro he is just as bad. Mojo done what he done then had the good grace to **** off. Charlie who is one of us takes his 30 pieces of silver time and time again to stab us in the back.
Hes made more money betraying our club than MOJO ever did.
14.) 04 Aug 2022 15:02:20
I was just sitting thinking, Charlie has never been the sharpest tool in the box and some of his utterances are awful. Some things he’s attacked I agreed with, most are hard to fathom. He was a great player for us and I too never understand Tims being so critical when it’s unwarranted. When it is crack on, but defend when it’s clear sevconuans are at it and don’t he scared to. That effs me off.

I have tried to find some update on Carl Starfelt injury.
I have looked through some main stream media outlets, newspaper websites etc to see if there is any update from Celtic, media interviews etc however can't seem to find anything recent.
Is his injury more serious than we have been led to believe?
Has anyone read or heard anything of any relevance?
?.
{Ed007's Note - Ange has stopped the Club talking about players injuries as it is a breach of the data protection laws that's why there's no regular updates but he did preciously say that he was confident that Starfelt would be fit for the Aberdeen game.
We haven't really been led to believe anything about the seriousness of Starfelt's - or any players injuries - and we've basically been told by Ange that it's none of our business.}
1.) 21 Jul 2022 16:34:01
That's me told then. lol?
Am fairly confident that Starfelt won't play or be in squad for Aberdeen game as he's not played in any pre season games so far .
(I have been very wrong previously) .
?.
{Ed007's Note - ?
2.) 22 Jul 2022 09:02:30
Great if he’s getting fit, but no way can he start against the Dons. He hasn’t kicked a baw yet. Watched young Jenz again and he looks good so if he traps form wise Sterfelt could have an extended spell out of the team. And the bottom line is we need to sign the real deal at CB. If we don’t then the CL will be tougher than it already is. Front to mid I think we can score against anybody, but you just need to look at the type of goals we have lost in the games so far to know we are weak at the back and it does my feckin head in we never solve that area of the pitch. The mid to front deserve a strong defence to back them up. Hopefully Jenz and Barney can improve us because if they don’t then there is something seriously wrong with how we recruit defenders.
3.) 22 Jul 2022 11:04:03
A rumour we are after a loan with option to buy Claudio Gomez from Man City. Usual dose of salt warning but the lad looks tidy.
4.) 22 Jul 2022 13:14:14
Magicpole, this topic drives me nuts. When people say we need top defenders for the CL and we never sort defence out and mid to front we are great. Newsflash- we attack as a team and defend ad a team. We have the best defence we've had since MON. WGS got us last 16 with mcmanus and Caldwell so your saying current defenders are not as good as them. Our defenders right now are light years better that those guys but WGS had us defending as a team. This one is purely on Ange. Bring back van diyk but unless he changes tact, we will leave our good defenders exposed. Mid to front need to protect them. It's simple but unfortunately our way is not to do this, that's why we get gubbed.

Before today's game would you have taken an edgy 2-1 win against a physical, determined, very defensive at times team? ?.
We are not going to be swashbuckling, dynamic, on the front foot and win games by 3,4,5 goals all the time in SPL.
We have played 7 games in 23 days and won 6 of them in league (1 very bad loss in CL) .

Every game last season - no matter how dominant we were - finished with a tight score-line. As long as we 'turn-up' and our main players perform, we have a great chance to open up a gap - no matter the hand picked officials.

Wow. Just Wow. What a transfer window.
Self praise is no praise at all, however I did post on various occasions that we would potentially beat our transfer records both in and out.
I also posted that this window could potentially be our best ever.
I had no doubt whatsoever that we would make the required transfer signings during this window.
Brendan encouraged us all to "Trust the Process" and "We will have a stronger squad at end of window".
Yes, there is further improvement required in various aspects of the club.
There will always be doubters within our fan base, trying to find or engineer negative issues that don't actually exist.
I am hugely excited to see what our team can produce on the park for us over the coming season.
I Always Kept The Faith and Forever Will.

It feels like Rodgers was fed some tasty scraps from the boardroom table but they have kept the lion's share.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 11:48:18
Time will tell if it was a good transfer window or not because we haven’t seen our new signings play yet ?
But I’m very hopeful and looking forward to a exciting season.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 12:23:35
Only one I'm concerned about is trusty only because of the sheff utd fans opinion of him . but he could be a Taylor . consistent good all round game but a lot of fans have it in for him and don't like him no matter how well he plays . or he could be just jobbies.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 12:27:22
Better late than never but absolutely delighted the board have backed Brendan. It took 3 transfer windows for the board to listen to Brendan but full credit to them. Such strength in the team now and I for one is happy.

"Trust The Process".
"Come Friday We Will Have Improved Squad".
I have always been very upbeat about potential transfers during this window and nothing has changed to alter my view.
I strongly believe that this week and this current transfer window could potentially be the best for some considerable time.
Always Keep the Faith.

1.) 26 Aug 2024 12:30:22
Most telling quite was we can't allow this going into last week of window to get players in . last 3windiws haven't been handled well and needs to be addressed but that's something I won't go into just now but we are dealing with it . or words to that effect.

What was your opinion when we signed the project "MOR" for around £250,000 from MK Dons?
It's amazing how quickly some fans write off our potential signings. eg Bernardo even before they get a fair chance in 1st team, not just a few sub appearances etc.
