Crazy season has started And I have a rumour that With who told me it might be correct I know his name has been mentioned before it is Altay Bayindir Manchester United 2nd Goalkeeper Apparently talks are at the final stages of conclusion. As I said its just a rumour.
1.) 03 Jun 2024 23:05:55
Don't know much about him apart from the fact he was the Fenerbahce GK and that he has 8 Caps or so for Turkey and is 6'3 or something like that, without seeing him play you would have to think he is a very decent keeper.
2.) 04 Jun 2024 08:58:15
That was doing the rounds last week it's an Israeli keeper now to join the cast of thousands.
3.) 05 Jun 2024 00:25:40
Maybe we will sign the Manchester United goalie as our number 2, back -up to Kellagher . Seriously I thought this time last season that Kellagher was prone to mistakes and let in too many goals, but I have to say he has had a good season and seems to have stopped letting in the odd soft goal .
30 May 2024 15:38:47
Just a thought I wonder if we could persuade Ndidi to come to Celtic? He is out of contract with Leicester and I don't think he has a new club lined up?
1.) 30 May 2024 20:44:10
I would imagine he is in Brenden's thoughts. Seems to be linked with us as well as Dan Amarety in last few windows.
2.) 30 May 2024 20:56:45
Would love that Tony I just can't see it though, a player like this means breaking the wage structure. Are Celtic ready to do that? Personally I just don't think they are, we can however live in hope ?????????.
3.) 30 May 2024 22:27:03
If it’s a free surely £4/ 5m signing on fee £35k pew should be enough, if not look elsewhere, always worth the question.
4.) 31 May 2024 13:28:20
Sounds good but we can forget about it. I know there’s the link because Rodgers is here but several teams in the top 5 leagues are after him including Juventus and atletico, and with him being 27 he’s simply not going to come to Scotland and play at this standard even if we are in the champions league.
5.) 31 May 2024 14:07:56
Thanks for your thoughts It's just wishful thinking, And I hope there is a slim chance of it happening.
6.) 31 May 2024 20:32:54
Surely Celtic cannot have their maximum wage written in stone season after season. I don’t even know if there is a hard and fast rule written down . I imagine that if Celtic were able to sign a special player and if everything else is agreed then I would be surprised if deal fell through over a difference of £5,000 above what was the most Celtic had previously paid in wages.
7.) 01 Jun 2024 09:20:10
I would imagine our wage structure would increase as players usually have pay rises incorporated into there contracts or so am led to believe.
8.) 02 Jun 2024 22:11:43
He would be a smashing signing. Give him a cpl of £m signing on fee, Champions league Football and silverware even if it takes inserting a release clause into contract.
9.) 04 Jun 2024 23:37:32
NDIDI, I'm sure I've heard that name mentioned by a certain individual not that long ago ?
I'd take him on a free, big signing on bonus and good weekly salary - no brainer ?
☘️ ? ☘️.
{Ed007's Note - ???? Yes Ndidi, guilty as charged Ped
10.) 06 Jun 2024 08:13:41
Every player linked who already in’s top league earning big wages are well out of our reach. There are great players in other leagues where £6-7m gets you the cream. We just waste time if we try and bring someone in for less than they are on. I know all those links are press or agent initiated, the club aren’t even considering them, or shouldn’t be. More chance me asking my work for £70kna week and then replying no worries. Here’s a Bugatti too.

Sky sports you tube channel is covering the full Brendan Rodgers Interview live at 4 pm.
10 Oct 2021 15:48:42
Just a rumour I have been given not sure how good it is really we are supposed to be looking at Daizan Maeda from Anges old club you tube can do wonders to a player and he does look good but if true Ange would know All about him.
1.) 10 Oct 2021 15:54:16
Posted that the other day Tony heard that to.
2.) 11 Oct 2021 17:23:57
His contract expires in January 2024.
Similar to Kyogo, he plays as a striker or left winger.
Although most of his goals are by his right foot.
Maeda is slightly taller than Kyogo and stands just under 5 foot 9 inches.
And yet about 20% of his goals are from headers which is impressive, considering only 10% of Kyogo’s goals are from headers.
3.) 12 Oct 2021 09:04:30
The king was never rhe tallest and scored a barrel load with his bonce.
4.) 12 Oct 2021 10:33:17
An honest question Buzz Bomb, is the average player in the J league smaller than in the European leagues?
5.) 12 Oct 2021 10:56:33
I hope your staying strong arrowh.
That’s a question and a half. ?
The average Japanese man is 2 or 3 inches shorter than a British, German or Dutch man.
6.) 13 Oct 2021 14:01:28
I’m doing ok Buzz thanks. I asked because I was wondering if he would find it more difficult against bigger defenders.
7.) 16 Oct 2021 09:55:13
Smaller in stature but they all have a bit of heart and pride about them, Maeda is a different type of striker to Kyogo quick, strong and direct could be a good partnership .

Celtic v Sheffield Wednesday on Celtic tv tomorrow at 3pm.

I personally am quite happy with the window. Only downside for me is we should have had most of the window completed weeks ago to let the new signings get settled, and adjust to the style BR wants them to play before the start of the season anyway. I hope BR gets his wish and the club gets the business done earlier in future.
28 Aug 2024 15:21:01
I would hope that given the state of new signings at this late stage Michael Nicholsons jacket is on a shaky peg. And IF no other QUALITY signings come in to the end of the window he gets voted off. We should only be looking at tweaking the squad at this time of the window not still trying to bring in key positions.
1.) 28 Aug 2024 16:13:04
The shareholders voted off 2 Celtic Directors at the AGM a couple of years ago but I think it was DD and/ or other Majority shareholders, that later overturned the vote in the room.
Does that mean our Shareholders have a vote that doesn’t really count?
{Ed007's Note - The support has no power, Buzz we're back to what Fergus told us would never happen again - the Club being in control of one family/clique.}
24 Aug 2024 16:26:26
Well we are definitely NOW AT PRESENT a lot weaker than what we were at the start of this window with less than a week to go. I hope Celtic know what they are doing.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 22:47:07
You sound happy about that? Are you one of the I told you so brigade…. It’s all big bad peters fault.
{Ed007's Note - Did people moan in the summer of 2022 when we signed CCV, Jota & Maeda permanently that the squad hadn't improved since the previous season? Because apart from those 3 and maybe Mooy we signed a pile of absolute shite in that window...
2.) 24 Aug 2024 22:54:19
A lot weaker? Yes there's no doubting the sale of O'Reilly has left a slight hole in the middle. But we will buy a new O'Reilly and get on with winning the league.
Let's keep all the doom and gloom till after the transfer window is closed.
What we have at present is enough to win this league. We need a couple of cherries on top to bury that lot and try make a fist of Europe.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 07:23:20
I think much of the ill feeling regarding signings is a result of last season.
We had a terrible summer window, which I can forgive as our transfer dealings were already underway when Brendan came in.
We then banned our fans, which nearly cost us the league.
Then we had the shockingly bad January window. All of this allowed Sevco to get close last season and I don't think the fans want a repeat.
20 Aug 2024 16:10:40
11 days left of this window and still no new left back or new CB is anyone optimistic about the next 11 days for Celtic to bring in quality new players to improve the playing side? Now it looks more likely that MOR will be away in that 11 days. With it taking Celtic 8 weeks to bring in Idah I don't hold up hope of them bringing in a quality replacement in the time remaining far less any other positions that BR was looking for.
1.) 20 Aug 2024 16:53:52
Yes I do.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 17:11:11
It’s probably best that M’OR leaves ASAP because although he hasn’t asked to move, he also hasn’t committed himself to Celtic by saying he wants to stay.
It’s no good selling him next week or at the last minute and then it gives Celtic the excuse not to get a suitable replacement.
Matt will be a big miss because he was always available and his goals and assists ratio are superb.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 17:20:44
If O'Shea is the only CB back identified then that's is a disgrace from the recruiting team. also If tenneman or Engels where identified as replacements for mor why buy Bernardo and not one or both of them. then losing mor and even hatate (whose departure wouldn't really upset me) wouldn't be be the catastrophe it will be if both leave now.
{Ed007's Note - Bernardo and MOR are totally different types of players, there's no way he was brought in to replace MOR, I'd say he's better suited to replace Hatate.}
4.) 20 Aug 2024 17:34:23
Most clubs tend to have replacements lined up when big players are departing.
Im hoping and praying Celtic have agreed terms in principle with at least one of the Austrian wonderkid or the American.
I'm not holding my breath though, can see this turn into a scramble!
5.) 20 Aug 2024 17:55:07
Wasnt meaning to compare him to mor Ed just the fact that I don't think we really needed him and the money spent could have gone towards someone who is in the same style/ could as mor. also think mgowan would have been a better cheaper choice than Bernardo . again not comparing like for like?.
{Ed007's Note - By the end of the season the Celtic support will be talking about how mush of a bargain Bernardo was - oh and praising the board for it's shrewd negotiating in getting the fee down.}
6.) 20 Aug 2024 18:27:50
I agree Edd I think Bernardo will surprise a lot of fans this year.
{Ed007's Note - ????
7.) 20 Aug 2024 18:43:57
FS man our supporters complain that we need to start bringing in a higher calibre of player but then want a potential squad player from Dundee. Bernardo showed plenty of his potential last year to give real insight into the player he will develop into. We signed the Portugal under 21 captain for a bargain price after getting to see first hand his potential.
8.) 20 Aug 2024 18:44:40
You don't often get exact like for likes. I'm not unhappy that our midfield dynamic may change. And change to a slightly more conservative one which should help us in Europe. I'd sell both Matt and Reo as we would face a 10iar slightly different scenario but it's still a season where a couple of players may not be 100% focused. BR will no doubt have a plan and the board will back him. If your asking me if I want 1 more Yr from hatate which could possibly be hampered by a couple of muscle injuries OR the lad Engles just to use a linked name. I'd take the new boy. I'd happily sign McGowan to be another useful option from the bench like bernardo and bring in maybe the US lad or another holder. Put some steel in the middle of the park. Obviously still need the LB and LCB signings but a revamped midfield with BR approval won't be a bad thing to kick off 3 more years of dominance. then eat sleep destroy the h*ns repeat.
9.) 20 Aug 2024 21:00:01
No doubt if we don’t get anyone in the usual crap we just couldn’t get these signings over the line.
10.) 20 Aug 2024 21:04:17
Hope your right ed . SOS we still need a core of homegrown players for euro squad and I don't care if he came from Spartans he looks a good player . not unlike mginn was at Hibs.
11.) 21 Aug 2024 00:21:51
We can always draft in a couple from the B team to meet the homegrown criteria. The liklihood of them making the match day squad is slim anyway. The only issue is I'm not sure if that'll rule them out of playing in the UEFA youth league.
{Ed007's Note - See this homegrown rule, it's not that big a deal, clubs name a 25 man A list and 8 need to be homegrown, if we only have 7 then we only name a 24 man A list squad
12 Aug 2024 16:21:46
Something like 19 days left of this transfer window, And yet we still don't have any NEW outfield players in (different from last season) I keep on looking probably once an hour hopping that this will change but as time goes on I am starting to think nothing will change until the end of this window. Or we will wait until the last day of the window before we make a move. IMO we should have had most of our business done before now and only little adjustments made on the last day not our main business. Players need time to settle in and new players coming in on the last day of the window will not be upto speed for the CL.
1.) 12 Aug 2024 17:19:34
Domestically we'd be OK obviously light up top but if we go into cl with that back 4 we'll get hummed again.
2.) 12 Aug 2024 18:23:59
At this stage I think the 'quality signings' will be swept up from teams in the big leagues that want to offload players close to the end of the window.
14 Sep 2024 14:22:20
As much as I want to see Engels I have to feel sorry for Bernardo one of if not the best players on the park last game.
23 Aug 2024 13:41:50
Apparently Pep has said there will be no more new signings in this window.
21 Aug 2024 18:36:42
I really can't see Man City genuinely looking at him in a view to get him there. Kyogo great player for us and would be a good player for most of the EPL but l really can't see Man City coming in for him. The story smacks of the El Buffalo story going to China for 30 million.
14 Aug 2024 15:24:46
Personally I wouldn't go in for him . Because Liverpool would be asking a far greater price than what we got for him Or we take him on loan again no Because why should Celtic just be used for a shop window for Liverpool to get maybe more money for him?
31 Jul 2024 17:20:57
Yeah sadly for Idah but I would tell them to take a hike and tell them we won't be dealing with them again. There is taking the P*** and there is taking the P*** For a player that they never rated.
02 Oct 2024 11:03:15
IMO the defence in most parts was the difference AJ being the only one I would have gave some sort of passmark too. That and maybe should have played with 2 holding midfielders. Just shows how bad Scottish football is in general. Up front could not judge as we n.
02 Sep 2024 15:43:49
I have been probably the biggest critic of Scales But yesterday he had a great game I just hope he can keep up that quality that he showed then. Bernardo I thought was immense for me he has grasped the challenge to bed down that position left by MOR.
31 Aug 2024 14:16:23
That's a blast from the past Ed.
{Ed007's Note - I wasn't sure anyone would remember it, Tony lol thanks for the save mate ??
27 Aug 2024 14:09:42
Great post Buzz ?%.
26 Aug 2024 17:08:06
I guess we won't be pursuing him at the end of this season then. As much as he is supposed to be a good player I don't understand the logic in bringing in some one paying all his wage apparently and not have a good chance of getting him on a contract for a couple of years. We have had plenty of time to bring someone in on a contract and not a loan. Poor business as I see it on Celtics part.
{Ed007's Note - We might well try and sign him, Tony as he'll probably be available, someone reminded of CCV's situation at Spurs where they kept extending his contract to put him out on loan.}
