Apparently we have rebuffed out interest in Owen Beck with load to buy just hope he doesn't play today I think he would be a great addition.
30 Nov 2022 23:27:37
ED any truth that GG could be on his way out come January due to contract renewal issues? That would be a blow.
{Ed007's Note - I'll be really surprised if GG were to leave in January and it's more likely to be a summer exit for the striker. On the subject of his contract as well, from experience I'd say that even though it was reported as a five-year deal it's probably 4 years with a years option.}

ED is there any truth in West Ham looking at Turnbull?
{Ed007's Note - West Ham - along with half the clubs in England have scouted/looked at Turnbull but the only thing I've heard of any serious interest in from Nottingham Forest.}

Not sure Turnbull is what we need to take us to next level. If money was right I'd sell. Decent at deadballs tho.
2.) 21 Jun 2022 17:55:04
I must say Chinks67 that I agree.
Not so long ago I thought we should be building a team around DT, now I'm not so sure.
☘️ ? ☘️.

Hes a better player than Rogic. Just needs to find some consistency.
4.) 21 Jun 2022 20:20:38
I'd let him go no probs. Don't think he's good enough unfortunately.
5.) 21 Jun 2022 20:43:04
He was excellent first half of season, then got injured, av always liked him and gets goals, all about opinions.
{Ed007's Note - I think if Turnbull hadn't picked up the hamstring injury - and let's be honest he wasn't the only one who picked them up - he would have really kicked on under Ange. I'd be disappointed if DT was sold this summer, I think with Rogic leaving he will move up the pecking order and dare I say it, for me Turnbull is a more consistent and better all round player than Rogic was plus Turnbull does have a bit of dig about him as well.}

David Turnbull’s statistics are very impressive, considering he’s only 22 years old and the major injuries he’s had, already in his career.
David has played 56 league games for Celtic and he’s contributed to 25 goals/ assists combined. ( 45% )
David’s stats prove that he can also contribute at a higher level because in his 13 European games for Celtic, he has 7 goals/ assists ( 54% )
Definitely keep because Turnbull will continue to improve.
7.) 21 Jun 2022 21:37:17
Turnbull still has a lot to offer wee haven't seen the best of this kid yet .
{Ed007's Note - ?
8.) 22 Jun 2022 08:39:46
Turnbull doesn't have the engine or pace of guys like Maeda or Kyogo but his quality is there for all to see. I find it strange that some people who question his suitability for Ange's style were more than happy that Rogic could fit into the team when he's arguably less mobile.
21 Aug 2021 11:32:35
Rumour picks up in the last hour Celtic want to swap Griff plus cash for Nisbet I'd take that deal as much as I like wee Griff his time has come to move on.
1.) 21 Aug 2021 11:40:28
I am the same. Still think he is the best Scottish striker in the country, but things have progressed rapidly recently and he obviously isn't in the plans. A deal like that could suit everyone. I'd be over the moon with that.
2.) 21 Aug 2021 13:03:53
If we can do any sort of deal in this window that get's LG away it can only be a good thing.
New Manager, new style of play, new era at CP.
3.) 21 Aug 2021 13:47:50
I note it's Peter Martin that has mentioned the potential LG/ Nisbet swap deal. Not sure why Hibs would touch LG but stranger things have happened 🤔.
08 Jul 2021 15:36:04
Apparently Matt Ryan still a possibility hope we can pull this one off.

Ed I've read a couple of snip bits saying we have made enquiries over Shankland you think this is true? And if it is do you really think it could happen I don't mean financially because let's be honest we are the only ones that could match the asking price. It's just the whole Rangers supporter thing he'll not sign because he's one of them and all that rubbish surely if we are serious then he'd at least listen to our offer.
{Ed007's Note - Shankland will never play for a bigger Club than Celtic, if he lets his own bigotry stop him playing for us, winning trophies, playing in the CL then the lad is obviously as thick - and to be fair he is as ugly - as most TRIFC fans.}
1.) 04 Jan 2024 20:04:42
Shankland's contract runs until 2025, so Hearts are in the driving seat over the transfer fee.
If shankland throws his toys out the pram to force a move and is unsuccessful, he is putting his place at next year's euros at risk. Is he prepared to do that?
2.) 04 Jan 2024 19:57:54
Well Said Ed.
{Ed007's Note - ??
3.) 04 Jan 2024 20:12:48
Spot on Ed007, Celtic can pay his asking fee, pay him his best ever wages and he'll win trophies that are pure pipe dreams at present.
He will have medals on his mantle and be instantly recognised outwith Edinburgh. To play for Celtic is a huge privilege - many step forward but few are chosen.
{Ed007's Note - It didn't stop CalMac or Greg Taylor signing for us so if it stops Shankland at 28-years of age the guy's a moron.}
4.) 05 Jan 2024 07:26:11
It his job, his career and it would be a career high to play for us, so if we want him, and can agree a fee, then he would be totally stupid to turn it down.
However I am a bit like some others in here, wuld he be happy not playing every week from he start, as he will never replace Kyogo unless he leaves.
I am also of the view that Oh would be much sharper if he was playing every week, as some of his finishes have been so composed but similarly he won't replace Kyogo.
5.) 05 Jan 2024 09:38:48
I don't know if we are interested or not? However, I think his coupon would damage sales of next years calendar.
6.) 05 Jan 2024 17:55:39
I don’t think we are signing either Shankland or the Aberdeen player, because if we were going to buy either of them we wouldn’t have to wait for last minute assessments as we would know about both and could make up our minds quickly . For those reasons I think we will be signing someone playing for a foreign club.
06 Jul 2021 13:08:13
Here is a crazy thought Jens Peter Huage AC Milan are actually letting him go I'd offer them Edouard plus cash for this lad he's absolutely world class! 12 million he is valued at.
1.) 06 Jul 2021 13:38:53
Good shout, did he not score in one if the games against us last season?
2.) 06 Jul 2021 14:01:21
Very very good player.
3.) 06 Jul 2021 14:11:13
He tore our full back apart in at least one of the legs.
4.) 06 Jul 2021 14:50:41
Edouard plus cash is a crazy thought. Should be the other way around him plus cash for Edouard. I agree he would be a great signing thought mate.
5.) 06 Jul 2021 14:58:07
If he is valued at 12 million why would we offer Edouard and cash? Surely we would get more than 12 million for Edouard? But yeah Jens would be a great player for us.
6.) 06 Jul 2021 16:03:38
This is the type of player we should be in for. No way would I offer Edouard plus cash though.
7.) 06 Jul 2021 19:32:12
Heres a crazy thought we might no sign anyone else until after CL qualifier or would that not be a surprise?
03 Jul 2021 15:01:46
Ed realistically can you see us getting Hickey? I think they'd want more than 4 million euros they have him tied down for the next what 3-4 years? Would be a great signing loads of energy can attack and defend he would fit into the style we are trying to play.
{Ed007's Note - I do think it's realistic but I think Hickey would need to force it through, Bologna don't want him to leave. €4 million Euros still gives them a tidy profit on what they paid for the player a year ago.}
17 Aug 2020 16:27:52
Hickey has apparently signed a 5 year deal with Bayern fee is being reported to be 1.5 million.
1.) 17 Aug 2020 17:14:23
I'm really disappointed with this one I've always said id love the boy at celtic park i think he's a fantastic talent. good luck to the boy.
2.) 17 Aug 2020 17:23:42
Unlike the pub league down south the Germans seem to be recognizing the talent in Scotland. Imagine if they all make the grade. Scotland will be World Cup contenders in 8 years! It's good to dream.
3.) 17 Aug 2020 17:28:10
That's another one that got away. He was on our books as a kid apparently - sound familiar?
Obviously we cannot compete with Bayern Munich and the like in cases like this, but it would have been a terrific signing.
Seeing stuff about Eddy being linked to Villa as well - at a time when we should be adding quality - I hope that's just speculation?
4.) 17 Aug 2020 18:29:19
Aye three world class left backs fifer 😂😂.
5.) 17 Aug 2020 18:17:44
Aye fifer a team full of left backs 😂.
6.) 17 Aug 2020 19:19:48
Celtic get 30% of it so every cloud.
7.) 17 Aug 2020 19:32:15
Meant they've already taken Morrison and was talk of Hepburn. I'd assume they and other German clubs will be looking to snap up more young scottish players. If some of them make it we could have a strong national team in the future. Is Hickey not both footed anyway so would also be an option at right back.
8.) 17 Aug 2020 22:08:54
as ed sais a lot. if the young boys don't see a path to the first team we will see a lot more following.
16 Aug 2020 09:30:45
If its true we have been quoted 2 million loan fee for Duffy it's got to be a no brainer if I was a millionaire I'd pay it myself we need a no nonsense center half who's more than capable of the physical battle, talk about WBA on the verge of signing him I've not seen that anywhere he's right up for this move get him in on loan and take it from there. Wouldn't just be a top signing but it's exactly what we need right now.
1.) 16 Aug 2020 12:05:45
Given what has already been highlighted with regards to what we've spent on players that don't have any impact, and that any loan fee would go towards an eventual transfer fee, it's a no brainer for me too. He's an old fashiones centre back. Great in both boxes. Goes through opponents and not shy making the last ditch challenges. He isn't a bad passer of the ball himself - he's just unfortunate to have lost out to a better one. Lacks a wee bit pace but he'd slot into a back three lovely for us as the 'no-nonsense' figure of the trio. Ajer and Jullien's pace and ball-playing abilities will compliment him. Getting three at the back is a must. We want that extra attacker to break down stubborn teams like we suffered against Kilmarnock.
28 Jan 2024 18:12:28
He'll score goals no doubt about it.
27 Jan 2024 11:10:19
Well he going to Spurs so that's that put to bed not that it was ever happening spurs swapping Bryan Gil plus cash apparently.
04 Jan 2024 18:23:02
I've not even heard Pavlidis name been mentioned lad is a goal scorer he'd probably cost double the price of Miovski. Early signs aren't great with players that are being mentioned I'd rather sign an established ST like Miovski or Shankland you know what your getting from them plus this lad from Brondby was mentioned when Ange was about so the worrying thing for me is Rodgers isn't picking these players we could have a problem here. They done him over before with Mcginn let's not let history repeat itself.
10 Jan 2022 16:48:24
I honestly think they are planing life without Forrest and going to bin Mikey Johnstone nobody is safe no matter how long you've been at the club Ange clearly wants players that can step up and be called on right now Forrest and Johnstone are bringing nothing to the table right now in the way of injury prone or just under performing it's not got anything to do with not signing Jota on a permanent basis Ange wants his own lads in.
25 Aug 2021 17:06:55
I'd rather have Nisbet the lad would score an absolute barrel load of goals with the service he would get quality big lad and he's Celtic to the core he'd give it all for the jersey that's the lads you want at this great club!
