At the start of the window there was stories we bid for both mepham and the Burnley centre back, was that all paper nonsense as it seems to have went quiet since regarding a centre back.
24 Mar 2024 09:37:09
With baby lawell going last month and his head of scouting, is there any rumours or news of them being replaced. Surely we need someone in with fresh eyes asap as we obviously need to replace quite a few players in the next window. The most part of why he was pushed out was that players he had put forward were not good enough, so it would surely be silly for the club to still work on his list of potential signings. I would like us to possibly look to someone like the lad rangers got from Holland, someone with a complete new list of targets . Dutch teams always seems to find players and it’s a market that isn’t too overinflated in price. Either way we need to find someone quick in my opinion.

Hopefully the loss of ML will mean the manager has a bit more autonomy in the summer regarding transfers.
2.) 24 Mar 2024 17:19:05
Daddy L will just give his mate Duhan a call.
But seriously, we need to get a DOF in pronto, and someone that will be here after BR is gone.
It's crazy that every time a manager leaves, we go into meltdown.
02 Sep 2023 10:52:42
Did haskabanovic turn down paok as we agreed a few of 1.7 million for him then we loaned him? We had the chance to recoup our initial outlay ?♂️.
1.) 02 Sep 2023 14:02:22
If he does well we might make more.
26 Jul 2023 06:24:38
Rumours breaking last night on Twitter that we are still keen on the Croatian keeper who after a week, still hasn’t signed for Fenerbahce. App we are looking at a larger up front fee for him. Personally I’d welcome this even though Joe has been great for the team and squad for the last two years, I feel his better saves are becoming less regular as he’s ageing .
1.) 26 Jul 2023 11:11:12
On the back of rocki signing get him in.
2.) 26 Jul 2023 14:50:14
Other reports say we aren't interested.
3.) 26 Jul 2023 15:09:43
I've read that but don't understand what the point would be in us offering them a bigger up-front fee if they've already accepted a bid from Fenerbahce.
4.) 26 Jul 2023 15:38:21
Would love this goalie, but can’t see it.
5.) 26 Jul 2023 15:55:21
naw were no.
07 Jun 2023 15:29:52
A new name has landed at second favourite with the bookies, with photos of him at Glasgow airport.
Des Buckingham, the manager of the giants who are Mumbai . Surely this has to be a joke.
1.) 07 Jun 2023 15:45:50
Literally just looked him up Quinn. No thanks. Even more leftfield than Ange was.
2.) 07 Jun 2023 15:55:38
Compared to the giants that are Yokohama F. Marinos?
3.) 07 Jun 2023 15:57:48
Maybe Kennedy replacement! the city group seem to have a big part to play in celtic.
4.) 07 Jun 2023 15:59:51
Apparently won their league with a record points and goal tally I heard. Very high risk but it wouldn't break the bank which is the board all over. A lot more of these cropping up that ain't very overwhelming.
5.) 07 Jun 2023 16:00:41
Surely that can’t be true, ange was unheard of by most but if you looked him up he had years of experience, including as a national team manager . This lad has barely been an assistant and had a season in Mumbai . With all the managers available surely this can’t be the best we could do if true.
We were supposed to have 30 million to spend to bring is up another level, could you imagine the club doing that with him.
6.) 07 Jun 2023 16:43:22
It better not be total embarrassment.
7.) 07 Jun 2023 16:47:08
Assistant! .
8.) 07 Jun 2023 17:18:54
My brother is saying he is being considered as assistant to marresca.
9.) 07 Jun 2023 17:19:25
Would imagine if he’s in Glasgow for talks would be for assistant. Makes me feel like maresca will be manager and someone will come in as director of football. The city group link grows. Don’t know why we would be speaking to him for assistant before we appoint a manager….
{Ed007's Note - It's being reported he is in Glasgow to visit friends and it's nothing to do with any job at Celtic.}
10.) 07 Jun 2023 17:21:20
If Man Unt'd had went for Fergie, before he went to Aberdeen, I wonder how that would have turned out.
11.) 07 Jun 2023 17:41:42
Thanks for the update Ed. Hope you’re coping with all the rumours going around.
{Ed007's Note - It's still pretty tame & sane - well apart from the Phil Neville one ? - but I think it's going to be a busy summer and it's great to see some new posters on the forum, welcome aboard to you all ??
12.) 07 Jun 2023 18:12:12
Here's a good one for you @Ed007, Alan Thompson is suggesting Henrik Larsson.

Wee Joe Larsson must be a free transfer again this season surely ed? so perfect double act.
{Ed007's Note - Jordan Larsson has 2 years to go on his deal at Schalke 04 but he's been on loan at FC Copenhagen.
Moussa Demeble is available on a free.}

This window so far is a joke, we have spent 1 million, we have one recognised left back, from last season we have lost oh, Idah Bernardo will probably lose Mor, we have 1 recognised striker atm and we are a week away from the season starting . I appreciate people are saying wait and see but at the minute we are noticeably weaker, I feel we have been let down too many times by the board to trust their process, I get others do trust them but I can’t see it. We are still shopping around monetary markets we paid for players like Stubbs which was 20 years ago. We have gone through loads of windows, where I’ve followed this forum and even on the last day people have asked , do you think that’s it, then the following day after it’s done, oh that window was a let down. We have had two terrible windows as far as improvement has gone, we really need a strong one this time. Even Roger’s said the windows weren’t what he wanted . I’m probably going to be shot down but so be it.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 14:31:33
Who cares how much we spend? Why is it important. We've addressed the GK situation, like for like pretty much. Bernardo will sign, almost done, and we'll get Idah/ another striker. If we keep MOR then that's a pretty good window. Young boy at LB looks like he can push Taylor, and guys like Kuhn/ Holm/ Kwon can push on from last year.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 14:55:49
History tells us if we spend at least £6M on a player, it’s been a success.
Currently Celtic have spent at least £6M on only 6 players in our History.
£6M on both Sutton and Hartson and the fact they’re on this list from 24 Years ago is shocking.
£9M on Edouard
£6M on Jullian
£6M on both Jota and CCV.
We know developing our own players under the current Scottish system is near impossible.
We also know that spending £3M and under on a player has been more of a miss than a hit.
So I believe the transfer fees more than likely make a difference.
3.) 23 Jul 2024 14:59:31
I wonder if we get monthly interest on the money in the bank?
May explain the delay. ?.
4.) 23 Jul 2024 15:40:12
Gerry, that would get us to pretty much how we finished last season. It's all opinions but that isn't a good window, for me.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 15:47:53
A think 3 down the spine of our team and that's it, CB, CDM, CF unless sum1 leaves. I honestly don't think we will bring in any FB ??♂️.
6.) 23 Jul 2024 16:06:35
Jullian maybe a stretch Buzz ?
CCV ok domestically but that's about it ?.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 16:15:00
It's possible they are waiting on selling MOR before they spend? Personally, I will be very disappointed to see MOR go as he played a huge part of all that was good about Celtic last season and it will take a lot to replace him - never mind find an upgrade.
IMO we always need to start a new season as strong as we finished the last and wherever possible - improve on several positions. Let's see?
8.) 23 Jul 2024 16:38:57
Think Rodgers will spit his dummy if recruitmen is poor?
9.) 23 Jul 2024 16:48:56
Oab, that could possibly be true, but for what reason though? We have never been as cash rich as we are now, why do we need to possibly sell our best player again to spend . If true it seems really weird .
10.) 23 Jul 2024 16:59:35
Celtic will bring in a total of about £30M from selling O’Riley and other fringe players and then we will spend about £20M to £25M on various signings before September.
That’s what normally happens.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 17:35:28
Think Rodgers will be offside if he doesn't get the players he wants.
12.) 23 Jul 2024 18:27:51
History and statistics tells us what we want to believe. History and what happens in the past is absolutely no indication of what is likely to happen in football .
Imagine how stupid we would think out Board was, if they started bidding and trying to buy strikers for £650,000 and tell us fans, that was the price club paid for H L the best striker we bought in 30 yrs . We would rightly think the Board was off its collective rocker and demand a different group of people take over the purchase of players . We the fans and the Board have both to forget what has happened in the past when buying and selling players and operate in the real world the present . Instead of treating the Board has some form of anti - Celtic we should have developed a positive relationship over the years so that we wouldn’t be in complete darkness as a result of the name calling and abuse we have given to individual Board members and the Board itself for not having the players YOU want in 11 days before ist game . Selling clubs and players have most control over the date of the actual deal.
13.) 23 Jul 2024 19:45:18
Probably a poor example using Larsson because he had a £650k clause in his contract, that Wim found out through his Feyenoord contacts.
Everyone knew he was worth more after his displays for Sweden at the World Cup Etc.
Celtic didn’t spend too much money before the Larsson deal in 1997.
A couple of Million for both O’Donnell and Thom.
And the highest being Stubbs at about £4M.
14.) 23 Jul 2024 19:46:27
You are more than entitled to your opinion Des, and whilst we have won trebles and leagues with them at the helm, let’s not forget there hasn’t been much of a challenge from the other side of Glasgow for five or six of those years. The board seem to be happy to just stay ahead of them, rather than pulling away from them. In my opinion they failed the fans as did the team for the 10 season, they let down Roger’s last season, banned the green brigade for a political statement which ruined the atmosphere ( even if you like them or not) we dropped points during that period which again nearly cost us the league, and one was one of the only clubs in Britain to charge fans for their season tickets during covid for a crappy stream and £100 in the club shop. In my opinion the board don’t treat fans particularly well, so I will reserve my faith in them delivering . If they do back Roger’s to the hilt I will be giving them full credit though .
15.) 23 Jul 2024 20:10:09
Maybe if our board communicated with its paying public they wouldn’t get the abuse they absolutely deserve at this moment in time.
16.) 23 Jul 2024 22:05:10
Hi Buzz, totally agree with this. i said the same thing in a long sided version below. ?.
17.) 24 Jul 2024 20:47:38
Maybe if sensible Celtic fans who really like club tried to communicate with a Board they would find the Board more than willing to communicate.
18.) 25 Jul 2024 08:55:33
I’m all ears, how do we do that? Even the agenda at the AGM is pre set!
20 Jul 2024 18:35:56
I noticed we are meant to be playing spurs in London but there hasn’t been much news of it advertised . We had a spell years ago where we played London clubs quite regularly, always good days out.
19 Jul 2024 07:45:06
I’m surprised we aren’t putting in a bid for miller, be forward thinking to bid for him even to leave him on loan for the season at Motherwell . Callum isn’t getting younger, we are losing mor probably, he will help with the Scottish quota and he looks a really good prospect. Hate to lose out to the Sevconian for him.
1.) 19 Jul 2024 13:09:11
I hope we do. He’s a player. We have nothing of his quality in our Academy.
2.) 19 Jul 2024 13:42:08
There can be only one reason we are not bidding for Miller and that is in BR eyes he isn’t good enough or any better than we currently have .
Likewise I don’t see any interest in McKenna, either by us or any other clubs in lower SPL or higher Championship . It would be very bad for McKenna after turning down Nottingham Forest new Contract, he got no other offers from UK and had to go to far off Eastern Europe to play for some obscure team that we never heard of.
3.) 19 Jul 2024 15:10:21
Miller should be signed.
27 Jun 2024 12:58:43
I was just reading comments John kenned y made, I wouldn’t be expecting many players in the next couple of weeks. He supposedly said they are still in various negotiations with a keeper but it obviously has issues (. I presume the league and wages ) . Also said loads of “plates spinning but players are still on holiday. You would have thought most of groundwork would already been done, as in approaching clubs to see if they would be open to selling a certain player, speaking to agents to see if their player would come and ball park figures involved . Apart from that purple patch with Ange we always seem so slow to get stuff done. I know people will say the window isn’t properly open yet, but Everton signed some lad for 20 million yesterday . It would be quite a shift for us to sign players form the euros as well.
1.) 27 Jun 2024 13:49:39
There's still 2 months left.
2.) 27 Jun 2024 14:52:38
Still need too get our finger out Malley, should be looking for a gk rb cb lb dm winger and cf.
3.) 27 Jun 2024 16:38:56
Negativity rears its head. All John Kennedy seem to do was tell the truth, as the international transfer isn’t. open until next week, why should Celtic close deal on say their 4th/ 5th choice when maybe still a good chance of signing a higher up choice . Similarly plates spinning, is as far as Celtic can go without actually closing deal . A deal is up in air until deal is signed. I would be most disappointed if I heard Celtic signed some lad yesterday for £20m . That’s extravagance, name unknown, position on team unknown, yet it’s meant to be seen as something good . Didn’t Everton have points deducted last season because they overspent in the past, they certainly seem to be slow learners .
Let us start on our Board when the International Transfer window is open 2/ 3 weeks and we haven’t bought any . There should be no need for competition to be first negative poster in window.
4.) 28 Jun 2024 07:18:12
Here we go, 2 months to go, window not officially opened yet and 'we haven't signed anyone yet' starts.
If anyone on here seriously thinks the club haven't been working hard and doing their homework on players, then they have sevco and their malicious media living in their heads.
The players we are after, other teams will also be interested in and they will cost decent money, not the bargain basement galacticos they are buying and who no one else were interested in.
It takes time, it takes will on the part of the players to want to come here and players, their agents are either at Euros or on holiday.
John Kennedy said they are talking to players and their agents and things should probably start happening in the next week, so have patience.
19 Jun 2024 21:20:59
Slightly worrying that Roger’s said that ralston will be a main player for us next season, he is a shocking player and footballer.
Also tierney going off injured again, hits it home that we can’t take any risk with him in signing him . In fairness we probably ruined him playing so many games when he was young and he was being singled out in every game by hatchet men and now he’s obviously paying the price. Shame for the lad that his injuries will prob finish his career.
1.) 19 Jun 2024 22:32:54
Quinn
Your comments about Ralston make me sick.
Hold off until tomorrow there will be plenty slaughtering 'the Celtic right back' and you can join in with Souness and the rest of the MSSM.
How many ragers players let us down Graeme? You’re a disgrace.
Ralston was excellent in the second half as was attested to by Andy Robertson but what does he know compared to you.
Switzerland are a top side who've qualified for the last five tournaments.
2.) 19 Jun 2024 23:13:58
Did Rodgers not just say that he would play more?
If we have at least 8 CL games then we would expect to see more of a rotation. Especially in cup games and after a European game.
3.) 19 Jun 2024 23:44:24
Spot on JFP he had a great 2nd half against a top side. bad enough the pundits giving celtic players a doing never mind our own.
4.) 20 Jun 2024 07:01:28
Just my opinion to be fair, but he’s just not a very good player, regardless that he plays for Celtic . I’m not Scottish so tbh I don’t care if he plays well or not for Scotland, my opinion is that he isn’t good enough for us as I’ve stated before. For us to improve we need better players and he’s not at the level to improve us. He gets found out, I appreciate he’s living his dream and ours of playing for his team, but he is targeted every game he plays for a reason. Just going forward we need a better option at right back. Sorry to make you feel ill with My opinion .
5.) 20 Jun 2024 07:55:18
Who targets Ralston? Is it the boo boys who regularly pick on players and not for lack of ability, just for boos boys perceived lack of ability.
We must have built a good team, as u are now criticising, back up players letting us down in Europe.
6.) 20 Jun 2024 08:31:27
Ralston isn't good enough to be our main Rb but we certainly won't find a better more reliable back up than him. he's a very important squad player and will be for years to come i feel.
His graft is only exceeded by maeda and i wouldn't be surprised to see ralston at celtic til he retires. Hed be nailed on future captain if he just had a little bit more quality.
7.) 20 Jun 2024 14:48:05
I’m not picking on him for no other reason in that I don’t think he’s the quality we need. I have no doubt he will be at Celtic for an awful long time as there isn’t a club in England or Scotland who would give him a contract as big as what we have gave him.
To improve as a team and squad we need a decent 11 and decent subs, who when called upon there isn’t any difference. That’s what big teams do, when other so called big teams bring subs in against us in Europe, they don’t say it’s ok he’s not as good as the other player but he’s good around the squad.
There subs normally make a difference in games as they are good players and normally come on against tired players. I appreciate it seems like I’m picking on him but I just feel for our team to grow we needed a better squad, I know the majority won’t agree with me . It’s also no fault of his as he’s living every one of our dreams, so I can’t slag him off for that.
8.) 22 Jun 2024 21:22:14
Our squad is good enough to dominate domestically, paying more money to some players in key positions won’t necessarily bridge the gap between our current squad and a team that are regularly going to win in Europe . To win regularly in Europe we have to get our squad to mentally become confident of winning . We can beat Rangers2012 even with many of our top players missing and we need to be able to overcome set backs in Europe and win games we are currently losing .
Bringing in European experienced players may benefit in a few European games but break the togetherness that have us succeeding domestically.
23 Jul 2024 14:05:52
Please tell me mally you read his name didn’t you ?.
13 Jul 2024 16:37:51
I’m happy with this signing, he obviously brings a wealth of experience which we lost a lot of with Hart retiring . Some fans were happy when we were potentially going to spend 4-6 million on the Sparta keeper who isn’t in the danish squad, to get the danish mo 1 for free . Seems a good signing to me.
12 Jul 2024 21:35:45
Get that and bid for miovski. As well as Idah.
12 Jul 2024 14:08:22
If we can keep him, we should for another season. Another champions league group where if he shows up well his value will only increase. Also we will only replace him with a cheaper, less skilled player further weakening the team.
02 Jul 2024 12:33:22
Burnley signed him for 7 million last season and he was one of their best players, I can’t see them taking a loss on him in regards to the fee. Be a good signing if it could happen though.
24 Jul 2024 16:27:21
Whilst last night performance was good, we must remember it’s only a pre season game, when teams attack us we have the speed and ability to cut through them. My concern is we still need a defence splitter as most of the teams in the league will throw 11 men in their own half and it kills our game.
Br will just go back to the normal of side to side to try and drag them out of position but the cloggers in our league rarely move from their half.
24 Jul 2024 16:16:50
As long as the plan isn’t to bring in KT on a loan as good as he is we can’t rely on him with his fitness . Unfortunately it looks like too many games, playing through injuries and getting munched every week in Scotland when he broke through has taken a toll on him.
23 Jul 2024 19:46:27

20 Jul 2024 15:42:03
Jamie, not sure you have noticed but we aren’t going for the top quality players. Our model is to buy untapped players with a promise of a move to a bigger league . We rarely compete with prem teams for players, because as you have alluded to we can’t compete with wages or their leagues, so with that we should be able to get players in. Like others have said other leagues pull players in,
I doubt all the Brazilian lads wanted to play in snow in Russia but they went for the money.
