Just heard on the radio that Jeremy Frimpong to Liverpool is a done deal.
40M Euro release clause, with Celtic getting 30% of the profit from the previous sale amount from his move to Leverkusan.
Early ? for BR's summer transfer kitty.

Hopefully a CB.
2.) 13 May 2025 19:53:55
£5.5 mil apparently. Not to be sniffed at and a good boost to the kitty.
3.) 13 May 2025 21:41:37
If we sold him for £11M, and if his release clause is 40M euros and we get 30% of the profit on that, then it would make our cut approx £8M quid.

My head gets light with the number of players linked to us . It isn’t one bit wonder that we find it difficult to sign players because we are so spoilt for choice that when the window opens, it takes almost the whole window to narrow the lists down to a workable amount.
I am sure all these players that are linked to Celtic are genuine players that our recruitment team have unearthed and made contract with .
Sure the SMSM would do due diligence before publishing to make sure all the players are really linked with Celtic and not just rejects of Sevco, who have a transfer war-chest never previously seen in Scotland.

Is there any chance we'll get Lennon Miller from Motherwell in after our initial bid was rejected? ?

4.) 02 Feb 2025 07:52:05
No chance he comes back, especially with what he said when he left the last time.
28 Jan 2025 15:36:58
Apparently we've made an opening bid for the 21yr old Norwegian winger Sondre Orjasaeter.
☘️ ? ☘️.
1.) 28 Jan 2025 16:42:02
Looks like Maeda will replace Kyogo up front if we're after another winger.
{Ed007's Note - Or it's Maeda's replacement for the summer. Are we just dropping Idah altogether now? Nobody seems to mention him for even getting game time now that Kyogo's left, do you think Maeda will be our first choice striker then?}
2.) 28 Jan 2025 17:12:35
If the 7 million fee is true then id guess we are getting in maedas replacement now to give him a few months to settle before being ready to go properly next season. Possibly the forward planning everyone had been crying out for.
{Ed007's Note - That's my thinking, there is now way that Jota hasn't been brought in to become first choice LW and I can't see Maeda being happy to be seen as back-up and a limited game time.}
3.) 28 Jan 2025 17:17:50
I was thinking that the boy could be a replacement for Khun in the summer.
{Ed007's Note - Orjasaeter is a LW/LM, Jon.}
4.) 28 Jan 2025 18:35:35
Sorry Ed, didn't know that.
{Ed007's Note - ??
5.) 28 Jan 2025 18:28:14
No Ed, I just meant he will be Kyogo's replacement as a striker for now until the summer at least due to inflated prices in Jan. We've seen little of Maeda up front apart from one game this season to suggest he will be our first choice. He's versatile so can cover if we have injury issues on the wing like last month. I'm not Idah bashing there are definitely games I prefer Idah starting due to his height and physicality. I don't think either Maeda or even more so Hatate will be with us much longer.
{Ed007's Note - But Kyogo was our first choice strike, to replace him with Maeda would make Maeda our first choice striker... There is no way tha Rodgers is going to move Maeda into the middle and play him in front of Idah. I honestly don't get where some Celtic fans see this team going forward

Guard of honour at IBROKES then? ?

Has that ever happened Perdo?
2.) 15 Apr 2025 16:53:25
They refused to give Celtic a guard of honour at Ibrox 2 years ago after we clinched the title at Tynecastle the previous week.
They instead showed us zero respect and went out and hammered us 3-0.
This time the Celtic players will need to make sure we turn up and play like Champions.
3.) 15 Apr 2025 18:08:33
Imagine they gave one and our players walked around it?
4.) 15 Apr 2025 18:41:34
Celtic also refused to give Sevco a guard of honour in the behind closed doors match in 2021,after they clinched the title in their previous match.
Ex Manager at that time Brendan Rodgers mentioned that Celtic should give them a guard of honour but John Kennedy and the Celtic players refused.
5.) 15 Apr 2025 19:03:59
I should have added that Sevco first refused Celtic a guard of honour in 2019 after we won the title at Pittodrie the previous week.
John Kennedy was probably right to refuse a guard of honour in 2021.
6.) 16 Apr 2025 09:37:46
Two wrongs don't make it right.
7.) 16 Apr 2025 18:32:20
You can’t give a guard of honour to cheats .
Giving them a guard of honour would be condoning their cheating, and admitting that cheating was ok.
01 Apr 2025 21:18:41
I see a few 'stories' suggesting BR could well be looking to move back to the Engerlish Pub League should the right offer become available.
I'm more than happy for BR to stay and continue building this team but should he leave, sooner or later, who would be your top 3 managers to replace him?
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
1.) 01 Apr 2025 22:30:37
I think if rodgers isn't given assurances about transfers in the summer then he will leave. And rightly so as the board have failed him in his 1st window and the previous one.
There was talk recently of rodgers having a meeting with DD about this. Not sure how much truth in it.
But next manager for me would be keiran mckenna.

I’m not worried about Brendan leaving because he mentioned he was staying for 3 seasons and I’m confident he will see out his current contract.
The article I read was a coach that “thinks” Brendan isn’t happy and he would basically take the first EPL offer.
I reckon he will continue in his job next season but then leave after 5 in a row.
I would love to see him signing a contract extension though.
4.) 02 Apr 2025 05:22:07
There is no proof that Brendan Rodgers is surprised and disappointed with Celtic Board not signing the players the players he wants in.
Giving assurances about transfers is the easy part, but as Celtic Board showed with their determination to and eventual signing of Idah as B R had obviously been very keen to get on board. Cheaper replacements are not acceptable to B R as he is given the last say .
5.) 02 Apr 2025 09:44:07
If BR goes you have to ask why?
Is it that he can find more motivation managing a higher level of player?
Could it because the Board doesn't have the same vision or ambition?
Could it be that the Board sees Celtic within the SPL as a big fish in a small pond and won't release money for a higher level of player?
Could it be that the Board sees Sevco as a major threat and that they don't want to spend any more than they want to as, if they fail, Celtic will be the new owner of the bragging rights?
I wasn't a fan of Rodgers after he jumped ship first time around but credit where credit's due, he's done not a bad job this time around. I was disappointed when Ange left when he could have gone on to develop us fully - I saw him as a long-term appointment.
Could it be that he sees a good crop of youngsters coming through and he may lose a number of them as he watches the backdoor of the first team and the pressure put on them with a resurgent Sevco?
Could it be that he reckons that Kuhn, Maeda, CCV, Hatate, Johnston all could test the next level elsewhere and would find it extremely difficult to replace at short notice and be bedded in for Europe next season?
Could it be that he sees Sevco going for the league title next season with sh! t loads of money thrown at the time to prevent Celtic reaching 56 titles and for them to retain the bragging rights? With that, could he then be seen as being a failure and that doesn't sit well with his ego?
Could it be that I've wasted my time with all of the above and he stays?
6.) 02 Apr 2025 11:50:22
Im confident he will sign a contract extension when the Trebles wrapped up.
7.) 02 Apr 2025 12:36:51
Usually when a manager leaves a club or has his contract terminated, it is likely that Board and Manager don’t have similar capabilities or ambitions. That shouldn’t happen with BR, if it did it would show very poor ability by either BR or the Board . They have been a long this road only 5/ 6 years ago, for BR to suggest now that Board didn’t match his ambitions, he would be clearly admitting that he was a poor judge of people, similarly for Board to now think they shouldn’t back BR would reflect equally bad on Board . Both BR and Board if they had their doubts, they should. raised them before BR had signed to be our manager and not now when it is likely to affect team performance.
I think it is worth remembering that what Manager really must have in terms of signings, is usually different from who/ what supporters want .
The positive thing about our recent windows are we seemed to unearth quality players, maybe very late in window, I suppose most managers would feel totally frustrated by signing any Tom, Dick or Harry for a position in the middle of window and as we come towards end of window a top player within our price range becomes available and Board won’t sign as they already spent money on that position .
BR is very brave regarding players coming in, he has declared that he has final say, that’s really taking on a great amount of responsibility, the buck no longer stops at Board it stops with Brendan.
8.) 02 Apr 2025 16:19:13
They won't have sh*t loads of money to throw at anything that's not how it works. As I believe you was allowed to spend around 85% of income on players, wages and agent fees that now goes down to 70% as of next season. Using their last accounts as a rough guide their wage bill wasnt far off that 70% so they'll need to make cuts, get more lucrative sponsorships and sell their dross for decent money to be able to throw any decent money at players.
9.) 02 Apr 2025 18:49:23
The board provided him with the best player on the field in the derby defeat and broke our transfer record when thye poured £11m down the drain for Engles. Fed up of hearing BR demanding assurances from the board. The board have more than backed him!
10.) 04 Apr 2025 12:50:42
In fairness to BR our fans moan and groan more than BR over lack of funds . Some expect 5/ 6 new players in every window.
11.) 05 Apr 2025 09:04:18
BR will stay and extend imo. Loads of cash to spend "them" eh no, EVEN IF they actually get taken over. IF. Eh No.
27 Mar 2025 22:13:40
Apparently Liverpool have had initial talks over signing Jeremy Frimpong from Leverkusan.
Whatever the transfer fee, we should end up with a few quid from the sell on clause.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
1.) 28 Mar 2025 00:24:50
I think it could be about £7M.
€40M clause which is about £33.5M.
£33.5M minus £11.5M Leverkusen paid Celtic = £22M profit
30% of the £22M profit - is just over £7M Celtic would receive.
2.) 28 Mar 2025 14:58:55
That sounds bang on Buzz
But I did hear somewhere the €40m euro release clause expired last window. How ever that could be ball locks or wishful thinking. He’s a bargain €40m.
3.) 28 Mar 2025 15:07:23
Frimpong signed a contract extension 18 months ago until 2028.
Hopefully the clause was written out of his new deal.
4.) 29 Mar 2025 10:33:06
Sorry Buzz 30% of 22 million is 6.6 million not just over 7.
I assume you've used one third (33%) in your calculation ?.
17 Mar 2025 07:54:39
I posted prior to yesterday's derby that we had no excuses for losing the game.
BR and the players need to take a good look at themselves as yet again, yesterday's performance was unacceptable.
Three games on the bounce we've conceded 3 goals to them.
If any good is to come from these defeats it's that we strengthen again in the summer in key areas of the park with quality players as our bench yesterday was down to the bare bones.
On a happier note, a happy St. Patrick's Day one and all.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 08:21:19
I thought we could have defended better and been stronger in the tackle at times but I did not think we played that bad.
I thought the ref was shocking and let them continually foul us, which made it hard for us to get into our rhythm. There should have been far more yellow cards, which would have stopped that.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 08:33:57
Brendan was over confident in his interviews in the last week and now he has egg on his face.
He will rightly be raging and embarrassed with another poor performance.
All will be forgiven with another Treble and a victory at Ibrox would be an added bonus.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 08:36:46
Yes they awake to the reality that they have won nothing and Celtic are looking at another treble but they’ve scored 9 goals against us in the last three games. A win on penalties a 3-0 defeat away 3-2 defeat at home.
Brendan humbled by Barry. Embarrassing.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 20:03:25
Even after yesterday’s game BR record as Manager throughout his career or at Celtic alone far exceeds the drunken EBT recipient’s managerial career at the various clubs who all sacked him and Sevco who shouldn’t even be in league football . By no stretch of a normal person’s estimation has Ferguson humbled BR .
Celtic fans judging a Celtic Manager by results against a fraudulent club only bring down the reputation of our club .
We know Sevco and SMSM want to continue with “Old Firm” name tag, to keep us in the same cess pit as Sevco., but we have to remain aloof.
13 May 2025 21:41:37
If we sold him for £11M, and if his release clause is 40M euros and we get 30% of the profit on that, then it would make our cut approx £8M quid.

13 May 2025 21:37:54
I can see Hatate leaving in the summer and TBH, I don't think he's been the same player since he was previously linked with leaving us in a previous summer window.
Lennon Miller is never £10M but regardless of the numbers being guessed at, I think he could be developed into a very good player.
I'd still like to see a seasoned CDM signed in the summer, someone who can come in, particularly in Europe, and enable the others around him to play.
Just my tuppence worth.

I'd agree with Henke ?
I can see offers coming in for a few players in the summer inc Hatate, CCV and others.
As always, the calibre of those brought in will determine how we progress but a CDM, for me, has to be on that list as well as sorting out the CB positions.

{Ed007's Note - I think both Hatate & CCV will move on this summer, Ped.}
07 May 2025 15:29:44
Scales should be a back up/ squad player along with Trusty.
CCV could well leave in the summer and McKenna isn't the answer either.
We need (IMO) a no nonsense ball winner/ tackler along with someone who can play the ball out of defence.

If Barcelona can get their defence sorted in the summer they'll be unbeatable.
Fair play to Inter though, I'd like to see them and PSG go at it in the final.

04 May 2025 17:44:42
Cfcjohnny,
It's definitely a problem and given both Nawrocki and Lagerbielke were brought in and have not had a sniff, it's poor.
Scales has done well IMO but, he's a squad player - not a starter. CCV could well leave in the summer if the right money is offered and I wouldn't be starting KT at CB.
Unfortunately, if you put them all together they're nowhere near the pairing of VVD and Denayer. ?
Big summer window on the horizon.
