I have no idea where these leaks come from, as most clubs play their cards close to their chest and don't comment on 'other teams players'. However, Sevco SLY are now covering the Kyogo rumour to Man City and it seems to me there is a sudden eruption of rumours to unsettle our team and disrupt our progress. Or is that just me?
{Ed007's Note - CCV linked with Galatasaray, Atalanta & Besiktas this afternoon too but the Club have apparently said he isn't for sale.}

This transfer window has shown that Celtic have more than a few really good players that other clubs want.
Celtic have done really well getting these players on long term contracts.
2.) 21 Aug 2024 18:31:07
There are more rumours about players leaving than players arriving.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 19:11:06
Just looked at videos of the polish lad who plays in MLS we are supposedly interested in.
Looks a very good player, probably around the top of the players we are looking at and at 7 million a worthwhile investment.

Was thinking the same, Buzz. If Kyogo goes to Citeh, as I now expect he will, that positions us incredibly well for enticing ambitious players who aren't yet the full article or who come from relative obscurity. I (for one) think he's done more than enough to merit such a move; reminds me a little of Larsson going to Barca. We don't replace such players, contrary to the prevailing logic, so expect BR to use the opportunity to hone the profile of the front line after his fashion.

I have no idea how credible the transfer rumours of players in and out of the club are, it’s all beginning to drive me nuts if I am honest. However if the Kyogo to City rumour has traction and they make a realistic offer I don’t think our Board will be difficult to deal with as I don’t think BR is entirely convinced by Kyogo… his lack of physicality and limitations in holding the ball up and linking the play need to be acknowledged along side his obvious strengths.
6.) 21 Aug 2024 22:45:12
OAB, it's a transfer rumour during the transfer window mate. We've been linked with about 100 players already, were SS trying to unsettle those teams and disrupt their progress?
7.) 22 Aug 2024 04:46:53
There is no way City will sign Kyogo.
8.) 22 Aug 2024 06:09:31
Why would we sign Adam and then sell kyogo makes no sense.
9.) 22 Aug 2024 08:20:33
He has probably been mentioned along with a few more players and our media have jumped on it as if they are buying him.
For City 20 million is nothing, they would splash that on a 29 year old but does he fit their style of football, I am not sure and would he go there knowing that he won't play a lot.
His wages would triple but he hates it when he is not playing for us, that would be his position with them, he won't replace Haaland or any of he forwards City already have.
I think he was probably mentioned after the friendly and the story has grown arms and legs.
10.) 22 Aug 2024 10:53:58
There was a guy on ssb ( I know ) apparently speaking on behalf of city . Says its been going on since last week . City want an older 29 / 31 year old proven striker for the bench . The normally pay 15 mill just like alvarez who has just left for this type of player .

I have had issues with our Board from as far back as the days of Big Jock, through the Kelly/ White dynasty and the brink of bankruptcy, through to the 5-way-agreement and downsizing.
However, I will concede that after the calamitous recruitment of last summer, they have listened to and backed the manager with hard cash.
The loss of MOR was a big blow, but a catalyst for the biggest spend we have seen from a Celtic Board since the heady days of the MON squad.
The team have started the season in style and the manager and players have handled all the speculation and disruption brilliantly.
There has also been great work done on clearing the decks and trimming the squad, raising more cash.
With all the new signings in place, the game on Sunday and the CL draw to whet the appetite, MOST of the support will be excited at what lies ahead
Over to you Brendan.
28 Aug 2024 19:32:23
Although we will not sign all of the players we have apparently been interested in, it's imperative that we sign at least another two after today. Otherwise the bulk of the support go into the game on Sunday in the wrong frame of mind. Nit to mention our manager who will again feel let down and betrayed.
Also, in the long run, I doubt the current squad is strong enough to compete on all fronts -if we pick up the usual 3-4 long term injuries.
27 Aug 2024 19:54:44
Was there ever a 'Stewards Enquiry' into the recruitment of last summer? So many players picking up wages for nothing, while a solid group of 17-18 managed to salvage the domestic season. Most of them have gone one way or another and to be honest I never saw enough of half of them to see any potential; but obviously BR saw more than enough to get-shot.
Whatever happens in this 'window'. I think it might take a couple more to have the team/ squad the manager wants to get Celtic back where we belong.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 20:08:26
Even when they spend half decent money our recruitment team / board / whoever still get it wrong.
21 Aug 2024 08:00:12
If we lose MOR AND Hatate I would be concerned that the terrific start to the season we have had could be disrupted and hampered because our midfield makes all the difference to our style, shape and potency.
With the CL qualifiers on the horizon, it will be a job rearranging personnel and keeping momentum going so I hope we have lined up exactly the right blend to fit-in and even improve on what BR has built.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 08:24:52
Get Engels and we would play the same way. He's more of a ball winner than MOR but great passer, just need to improve his goal tally.
2.) 21 Aug 2024 08:32:27
If MOR has agreed and the clubs settled on a fee wr should already have made bids for the desired players, too slow this board moves with what's at stake this season, just because the mob are in turmoil doesn't mean we stop trying to progress, we ahouldve purchased positions before the sale of MOR anyway, the more i recall what i've heard from brendand then the more I believe the board will purchase if we sell MOR for decent money, its not good enough.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 08:58:15
Couldn't agree more turner1984.Oriely was always a stong possibility of leaving, so why can't we be proactive in bringing in his replacement before we sell?
4.) 22 Aug 2024 01:29:46
What makes you think we haven’t been proactive. what inside knowledge do you have to share?
By all accounts we seem to be well down the line with the Polish midfielder.
18 Aug 2024 14:25:14
Maeda in for Kyogo from last weeks team with Idah on the bench.
1.) 19 Aug 2024 07:31:00
Why dpen 9million on a striker and have him on the bench surely he should be starting if kyogo is injured.
30 Aug 2024 22:57:58
Can't see confirmation of transfer with 4 minutes to go? Must be last minute stuff>.
{Ed007's Note - You can announce deals after the window closes
, it's all about paperwork....
30 Aug 2024 17:25:54
Whenever he has 'filled-in' he has usually done a great job, but it seems - like several others - not good enough for the manager, who sees them all day-to-day. £1m seems a bargain IMO.
30 Aug 2024 16:35:39
Thanks Ed; Like yourself, I'll be glad when the 'Korean Jingo' closes but I'm sure there will still be plenty of post (mortem) s from the aftermath. ??.
{Ed007's Note - Definitely ??
30 Aug 2024 15:47:02
The click-bait and counter-rumours are in overdrive and SLY website is confined to English EPL (predominantly London clubs) .
So Ed; are Celtic liable to do any more business before 11pm?
{Ed007's Note - Yes, probably both in and out.}
29 Aug 2024 16:25:47
I will comment on the Board when the 'window' closes, but as we have already spent over £25m on Schmeichel, Bernardo, Valle, Ida and Engels, with the possibility of another couple. It could be one of the best transfer business (in and out) , we have done for years.
08 Sep 2024 15:35:04
The manager obviously preferred Idah to Oh and his contribution last season proved BR correct. It has also been said that Adam Idah is behind his team-mates in fitness and sharpness due to the disruptive speculation during his last weeks at Norwich. Give the Bhoy a chance.
07 Sep 2024 11:30:22
I agree that his managerial record went downhill but maybe he still has a wealth of experience and influence that some club could use?
04 Sep 2024 15:27:59
Said as much on another thread. Doesn't matter that the cheating is expected and the usual suspects are allocated. They are cheating and should be nowhere near a position of authority and or integrity.
Is Celtic's silence part of the 5-way-agreement?
03 Sep 2024 11:44:08
There were a few times where we lost possession by being too casual or lapses in concentration. Although we are doing more than enough to win domestically and should score more with the possession and chances we create. However, we need to concentrate 100% in the CL.
02 Sep 2024 18:35:22
The new arrivals will have a positive effect as well as no-one wants to lose their place when the team are playing so well.
