£9m now bid for Engels, hopefully this is done along with Bogusz.
What a midfield we will have along with Bernardo, Hatate, Calmac and Holm.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 18:12:51
When you think JJ moved for a similar sum you'd think they'd accept it ???.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 18:29:04
As with the signings incoming I hope holm gets minutes this season. He was regarded a top talent when we got him and I really don't want him to be one of these players who leave to then become a fantastic talent because he wasn't given time.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 19:04:55
Ando88,
I hear what you're saying but as fans we can't have it all ways.
If he's good enough, he plays, if not he needs to wait on his chance as the competition in that area is healthy.

Absolutely Pedro I get that and I hope the lad takes the chance when it's given to him ?.
5.) 27 Aug 2024 20:05:49
Ando88 ?.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 21:08:59
I like Holm and think he will be a really good signing for us.
I see him getting more time this season and becoming a regular next season.
7.) 27 Aug 2024 22:27:50
I liked gustav. And look how thst ended?.
8.) 27 Aug 2024 22:52:21
I'd still rather we loaned out Holm even if it's just until Jan. The boy needs regular. He looked good in pre season but getting the odd 10 mins here and there when the games fizzled out isn't going to develop him.
9.) 28 Aug 2024 09:55:09
I like Holme, really talented player but with the players we are in for, he would struggle to get game time, a loan to a team he'd play for regularly, at a decent level and he can comeback, game time fitter and better and maybe with a chance BR will pick him.
I think like a few players, BR said he was lazy and if you are like that, you want play in this team.
26 Aug 2024 10:37:41
Reports saying personal terms agreed with Engels and the boy is desperate to join.
24 Aug 2024 17:05:27
Looks like BR could be getting the 2 Midfielders he was after.
Bids in for both Engels and Bogusz.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 19:12:19
God I hope that is true. If we did get them both, we would be better in midfield imo and then we get a CB and LB and it will have been a good window.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 19:29:44
Hopefully both Jonbhoy.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 23:15:35
Both players would seem to tick a few boxes and certainly fit our 'model' for new signings.
I still think we could get Owen Beck from Liverpool for LB to challenge GT but little mention of a LCB ?
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 06:46:08
The Polish bhoy we are looking at has been used as right sided attacker and a cf this season and has 17 goals so far he plays in the league cup final tonight.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 09:47:36
I won't hold my breath about players coming in as look how long it took to get the big man from Norwich. 6 days to go before the window shuts. not looking promising and the rumours for players continue. until they sign then I will believe. the board needs to open this checkbook instead of boasting about all the millions they have. keep the faith.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 11:52:00
We have put in bids? That’s gives me no succour. What type of bid? A laughable lowball? Are we now going to accept two players when we need a LB and CB. If they don’t get them all, the board need driven out of our club. Even if they get them, they still need to go. They aren’t up to the job of moving us up. Everybody has to know that.
21 Aug 2024 19:34:01
Yuki Koabayashi Away on a permanent deal, surely we must be lining up a CB especially with Shandy looking like he is going on loan.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 21:04:34
We better be. ?
My hunch is we will have CCV, scales, Welsh and Nawrocki and at least 1 more.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 09:22:01
That's Kobyashi, Lager and now MJ all set to leave which will take in more money and save wages.
The money for them alone should cover buying the polish lad from MLS.
Money we took in from previous sales should pay for or help pay for Engel, so if MOR goes, that money should be invested on new CB and LB imo.
Even if we spent 10-12 on O'Shea and 2.5 on Beck, we are still in the black. Although O'Shea looks like he may be heading to PL.
Do we have anyone else in mind at CB, because going into CL with CCV and Scales really concerns me and it will be concerning BR, he's a realist and nobody's fool.
This is our biggest week in years imo.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 11:43:02
Shandy ???.
4.) 22 Aug 2024 13:13:57
Maeda there was talk early in the window of Chris Mephan from Bournemouth coming in, although as per it’s gone quiet .
Him and o Shea are the only ones I’ve read about . Sometimes I wish we wouldn’t be linked with prem players as it’s obvious we can’t compete with wages they are on, so inevitably rarely get them over the line and signed. Then the board can say we just couldn’t get it over the line on a couple. What u mean they wouldn’t accept a massive wage cut to come and play for us ?.
5.) 22 Aug 2024 14:17:37
Quinn, that is a huge issue for us, we can offer CL and winning trophies but we cannot give them the wages they can get elsewhere.
To seriously compete in CL and to take in better quality players, our 19th century wage structure needs updating.
6.) 22 Aug 2024 14:34:28
Rumours doing the rounds today that we are interested in signing 26 years old, 6ft3, left footed USA international ex Arsenal centre half Auston Trusty from Sheffield Utd who is valued at £5m.
7.) 22 Aug 2024 17:02:47
If we sign him we could have usa centre back pairing. I have a feeling Taylor will keep lb slot.
20 Aug 2024 16:25:02
I see abu kamara who we were linked with has handed in a transfer request.
The next couple of weeks will be very busy.

Just thinking of the strength of our midfield which I think is outstanding just now.
One thing I was thinking about was who will drop out for Engels, I'm thinking we will see Hatate sitting out a lot more as Bernardo is outstanding and should be starting especially in Europe.
1.) 04 Sep 2024 18:04:48
Bernardo had a good game on Sunday. He isn't outstanding.
2.) 04 Sep 2024 20:16:08
Calmac doesn't play well in europe.
3.) 04 Sep 2024 20:18:15
Engels needs to earn that right. Anyway, think BR will select on a game by game basis to keep everyone on the simmer.
4.) 04 Sep 2024 21:21:56
Engels will get his chance and has to earn the place first, it won’t be easy. Hatate when at his best, is dynamite, Bernardo is a player getting better with every game so Engels has a job to permanently dislodge one of them unless we get injuries. I think we can keep 3 guys looking for 2 places happy with rotation and subs.
20 Aug 2024 17:02:22
Ed
Do you think that we haven't brought in a LB just now as we are waiting until the last possible minute to see how KT's recovery is going.
I've got a feeling that we could still look to bring him in on loan.
If he hasn't recovered by the final few days of the window I see another LB coming in on loan possibly Beck.
{Ed007's Note - No mate and that would be sheer lunacy if that is the plan. Arteta said the other day that KT was weeks away from being anywhere near ready to start training so I don't see how he would even pass a medical.}
1.) 20 Aug 2024 18:14:08
Cheers Ed, I just had a thought that we were hoping he would recover in time to get the deal done.
{Ed007's Note - I'll be surprised if KT gets a move this window, Jon.}
2.) 20 Aug 2024 21:10:08
Cheers ED.
{Ed007's Note - ??
3.) 20 Aug 2024 21:35:24
Great player but his injury record is horrendous.
13 Aug 2024 06:23:09
Can't believe people are now complaining about the price of Idah after everyone was moaning that we hadn't brought anyone in.
Also I can't see the boy spending much time on the bench after we spent £8.5m on him.
1.) 13 Aug 2024 06:59:26
I am happy with the signing but think we overpaid for him. I reckon we could have got someone better for that money and will find it hard to recoup that money, unless he plays a vital role in the coming years and gets us into the CL.
2.) 13 Aug 2024 07:50:29
I’ll be happy to see Adam Idah return as his impact last season was arguably the difference between winning a double and winning nothing. Could we have got better for the same fee? Perhaps. But there is no risk in his signing he’s proved his worth plus while he’s late arriving he knows the players, manager and system.
The board has spent whatever it is we’ve spent on Idah because their is no recruitment structure or strategy at the club and Brendan Rodgers has assumed that responsibility after the boards abject failures in previous 3-4 transfer windows.
He’s calling the shots and thank goodness for that but the downside is Brendan Rodgers is shopping in the only market he knows where overinflated prices are paid for overrated players.
3.) 13 Aug 2024 08:09:36
Norwich seem to have got the upper hand both in the price and 15% of any future transfer. BR wanted Idah and no-one else by what I hear and it will either push Kyogo on to compete or out the door as he may see one last move at this time in his career is the best option?
Whatever the case, I hope this is not our final addition in this window, as I am convinced MOR will be sold and there are still positions that need improvement. I'm braced for final-day loans.
4.) 13 Aug 2024 08:15:21
You couldn't make it up Norwich have drove a hard bargain and finally we get our man and some are moaning. we've signed a full international player who knows the club and how we play who also seems to gave a k ack of scoring in big games iam delighted with this signing. maybe if the moaners factor in the haksa oh and lawell money in we've got him for nothing. jeez ??.
5.) 13 Aug 2024 08:40:40
If he brings us league titles and cups a don't care what he cost or make any big profit when he leaves. let's enjoy the success hopefully he will help to bring in nxt 5 yrs.
6.) 13 Aug 2024 08:43:02
They wanted over 10 million, hence the Vernon's deal fell through.
Some people are never happy, on one hand they say just pay the money they are asking, our board are terrble, tight fisted, then we pay over what some feel he is worth and it's we paid too much, our board have no plan, no idea, waste of money.
They said the same with Eddie and how did that work out?
7.) 13 Aug 2024 08:57:34
Celtic fans: please spend some money.
Celtic: 9.5m?
Celtic fans: moan, moan, moan.
8.) 13 Aug 2024 08:59:01
£8.5M for a player who arguably won us the league last year? Sack the board. Where's my pitchfork?
9.) 13 Aug 2024 09:45:07
And the cup if he doesn't follow the ball in we're into extra time and who knows. great signing.
10.) 13 Aug 2024 10:04:46
I find the argument we paid too much for Idah amusing.
Can I just remind some, that he is an international who won't need time to re-adjust to our style of play and has huge potential.
Also I will remind some that spurs paid 40 million for an 18 year old from Leeds, who played 8 times last season, what we paid is the price of players in that league.
11.) 13 Aug 2024 10:06:24
Welcome to the real world.
Celtic received good transfer fees for both Edouard and Ajer with only 10 months left on their contracts, which helped Ange rebuild.
Norwich had Idah on a lengthy contract and they deserved top dollar.
12.) 13 Aug 2024 10:17:26
Totally agree guys, great signing and even big Sutton thinks it's a good deal for all.
13.) 13 Aug 2024 12:10:26
Not sure what you get for that sort of money these days. Glad the deal is finally done.
14.) 13 Aug 2024 12:58:25
Miovski was cheaper and is a better player.
09 Aug 2024 13:17:57
Just wondering that with the Idah deal getting closer, do you think that we will see him as 1st choice soon.
Brendan seems to like a big powerful forward up front like Dembelle.
I honestly think that we could see Kyogo on the more often.
1.) 09 Aug 2024 13:28:33
It will depend on the game. They will rotate as and when.
2.) 09 Aug 2024 13:36:01
He is still a bit away from the finished article. I think BR will stick with Kyogo starting for a while and drip feed Idah in until he gets fully up to speed.
Once he is, I think we could start with both of them.
3.) 09 Aug 2024 13:45:02
It would be a bonus if Idah was on our bench for Easter Road, to give us a Plan B.
I can’t help but think of our goalless draw at Easter Road last season, when Kyogo struggled to get involved in the game.
Hibs were very defensive that day but I’m expecting David Gray to be more attacking on Sunday and that should help Kyogo.
4.) 09 Aug 2024 13:54:37
Unlike Ange, Rodgers will give both main strikers ample game time. Like Ken said, horses for courses. It should provide excellent competition between him and Kyogo.
5.) 09 Aug 2024 16:16:53
Yeah I didn't mean straight away but like MD when he came in and had to wait until Grif got injured.
26 Jul 2024 18:06:14
Hi Ed.
I just wanted to ask a question if that's ok and sorry if it's a bit of a daft one.
In the case of the Bernardo deal and according to reports everything is done except the medical.
My question is, in cases like Bernardo is there any need for a medical?
He must have went through one before we brought him in last season and he played a lot so we will know everything about the boy.
He has also been training with Benfica.
Has it got something to do with insurance?
{Ed007's Note - Insurance purposes and to check for any hidden injuries or underlying problems that might have occurred over the past 12 months.}
1.) 26 Jul 2024 22:02:29
Cheers ed.
{Ed007's Note - No probs bud ?
04 Sep 2024 15:20:16
Glad that they have pulled out, some people will think differently but personally the way Forrest was treated during the Euro's I would have done the same as Calmac and told Clarke that I was retiring from International football.
30 Aug 2024 23:40:25
I just saw the report saying that Iwata has signed permanently for Birmingham.
I thought it had reported earlier it was a loan. I'm kinda surprised as I thought he was a good player.
30 Aug 2024 23:38:08
If you put a deal sheet in between 9-11pm it gives you an extra 2 hours (1am) to complete the deal.
30 Aug 2024 17:26:16
It's a loan deal.
29 Aug 2024 18:25:46
Who's suggesting that Maeda?
More msm rubbish as we are spending money and some people aren't happy about it I suspect.
08 Sep 2024 15:55:15
I can't believe the people are starting to doubt Idah after 1 game for a piss poor Ireland side who had something like 25% of the ball.
If it wasn't for Idah we would have struggled to win the double.
Also if you think that we overpaid just think that Sheff Utd paid £17.5m for that nut McBurnie a few years you.
04 Sep 2024 15:27:33
That would be a very good idea, it would enhance the atmosphere even more.
03 Sep 2024 19:26:42
I can't see us ever expanding the stadium whilst in Scottish football and I don't think we need to, Maybe if there ever was an European league we might do it.
I think the money is maybe being kept for refurbishments and possibly the museum and hotel.
{Ed007's Note - One of the things I always said they should look at is putting another standing section in the opposite corner of the North Stand from the NC but the plans are in for adding 455 safe standing seats at the corner diagonally across from the NC in the BHOYS CELTIC new section.}
02 Sep 2024 15:40:37
Commentator on the Danz broadcast said at the time the players were level and it should have been onside.
Beaton played his part in the second half by stopping the play every chance he could when we had the ball, he was probably hoping his team could get back into it.
02 Sep 2024 15:36:27
It looks like he might have been carrying an injury, I saw he walked out in a boot after the game.
