Celtic banter 3

01 Jul 2024 11:12:20
Hope we try and sign dubravka looks the part.

01 Jul 2024 10:59:31
regarding Rocco Vata, I do not recall ever reading or hearing anything positive about his future with us.
Always seems to be reluctant to commit to contract with Celtic. I wonder why?
Would we miss out on his talents if he leaves?

01 Jul 2024 11:32:13
Well never know as we don't play our youth players.

01 Jul 2024 11:58:17
Hes got heaps of potential but seems like he thinks he's better than he is. Maybe bad advisors in his ear. His contract has never been close to being agreed as he expects 1st team football.
Thats the talk i've heard anyway.

01 Jul 2024 19:44:59
Barcelona give a platform to their youth players, we as fans would panic at the gamble but if they have the potential give them a chance or lose them, but surely these lads should be fast tracked on loans to other spl clubs not playing celtic b team football.

02 Jul 2024 09:38:52
Playing youth players who just aren’t good enough? Because they aren’t. Nowhere near it and haven’t been since KT. I want our own players but they just can’t cut it.

01 Jul 2024 09:59:08
Although they're not the best for valuations,
Transfermarkt have updated the playing squads after a few contracts expired yesterday.

The Celtic squad is €123M but down from €157M last season.
Although no new signings yet.

The Sevco squad has nosedived to only €84M and that's including their new signings.
The Sevco squad was valued at €161M in the 2021/ 22 season.
( only 3 seasons ago )
Quite a few of those players have since left Ibrox for nothing.

01 Jul 2024 10:57:31
Is theirs in Turkish lira?

01 Jul 2024 12:06:47
I think transfermarkt valuation for the most part is obviously way off but i think they do a pretty decent job of valuing players in order of how valuable players are in a given squad.
For example
Oriley celtics most valuable followed by ccv, kyogo, hatate.
I don't agree with the valuations but id have them in that order in terms of highest valuations.
They monitor over 1m players so credit where its due as its a very difficult thing to manage accurately. They do a very good job overall.

01 Jul 2024 14:23:09
I agree they’re not the most accurate but it’s a small indication.

01 Jul 2024 00:49:49
I don't think we'll sign anyone. And as if that's not bad enough iv heard their building a giant metal statue of lawell on the celtic way that breathes fire and screams kneel peasants. From a reliable source.

01 Jul 2024 10:08:30
I’ve heard the statue includes a throne made from stacks of cash!

01 Jul 2024 06:02:29
So the window opens today. no excuses get business done and be nice to do it early get players bedded in.

01 Jul 2024 10:14:56
Hopefully a keeper in asap, there’s stories of Dubravka, who I admit I didn’t mind. However, loads of geordies are calling him a hologram, and he hasn’t played well at the euros from what I’ve seen him. Especially in one of the group games, he was shocking. Hopefully we go and buy a no 1. From a team and not a reserve keeper, such an important position for us especially in Europe .

01 Jul 2024 12:20:55
We have to remember Barkas was a first team GK and Hart was a reserve GK when we bought them however i'm not overly impressed with Dubravka if he is indeed a target.

01 Jul 2024 14:23:55
Butland was a reserve GK, Fraser Foster was a reserve GK. Your argument doesn't hold water.

01 Jul 2024 18:23:46
I'd be disappointed if we signed Dubravka as our number one. Guy is less than two years younger than Hart. Would rather we went with someone more long term 30 or under.

02 Jul 2024 10:08:09
His age doesn't matter, every player we sign is a two or three year signing.
If successful he's sold and if he's a failure he's loaned out or sold if poss.
There are very few long term signings nowadays, team is being recreated season by season.

01 Jul 2024 05:51:01
Southampton allegedly wat mor 20m plus add ons. aye right tell them to bolt and let's start talking at 30m arrogance of the English.

01 Jul 2024 07:16:39
I’m not surprised Soton are keen to buy O’Riley.
Previously signings from Celtic have had good careers on the South coast.

01 Jul 2024 10:08:59
I wouldn’t read into that too much. Daily Hun wrote that article.

01 Jul 2024 10:12:10
He also played for their manager at Mk.

01 Jul 2024 10:15:39
They want to do another Virgil.

01 Jul 2024 12:08:25
To be fair Celtic are the worst for lowballing so can't complain when other clubs do it.

01 Jul 2024 15:49:41
According to reports Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Southampton and A Madrid along with a few other foreign clubs are all interested, given the teams listed I think we will get nearer £30m which will probably fund our own transfer window along with the Abada, Haksa and Oh funds.

30 Jun 2024 22:50:27
Hate to say it but Keane has taken the English pound how he never called that performance out deary me.

30 Jun 2024 22:25:02

30 Jun 2024 23:23:04
Classic ??.

01 Jul 2024 05:39:49
I hadn't realised McCoist was such an aficionado on the rebel tunes. He even knew it was from the brazen. He must have that one in his car. ?.

30 Jun 2024 19:32:49
The transfer window closes on Friday August 30th.
The English window closes at 11pm.
The Scottish window closes at 11.30pm
Celtic are currently scheduled to play Sevco the next day.

Sky have confirmed our January 2nd Derby fixture at Ibrox will kickoff at 3pm.
The Dundee Derby will kickoff at 5.30pm on the same day.

30 Jun 2024 20:07:26
And then?

30 Jun 2024 20:41:52
Buzz, when was the last 3 o clock ko for the derby game.

30 Jun 2024 21:01:24
The game we went top of the league in ange's first season was a night time game and I think the cup final was a 3pm kick off. Not sure about league though.

30 Jun 2024 21:25:32
Yeah the midweek game was because of covid call offs, but I can’t remember a league game for ages at 3.

30 Jun 2024 22:22:31
I’m sure it was the Celtic 5 Rangers 1 match from 1998.

I don’t know why it wasn’t live on the TV because the other 3 league matches that season kickoff times were 6.05pm.

Excluding the night games,
All the other league games since 1999 have had lunchtime kickoff times.

30 Jun 2024 15:51:31
In the "quasi sevco" match tonight
I fancy extra time

Slovakia are as big as 28/ 1 to win in extra time
Quasi Sevco are 8/ 1 that tells me bookies think extra time is a possibility.

30 Jun 2024 17:48:13
I bet a £2 double on Slovakia and Georgia £180 if it comes up.

30 Jun 2024 19:06:09
After my 20/ 1 winner yesterday I have followed it up with my 8/ 1 extra time winner (they just went 2-1 up and will win tie now.

30 Jun 2024 19:43:34
Bellingham should have been sent off but extra time winner was the easiest bet of this tournament.

30 Jun 2024 20:34:46
How poor were England it was like watching Sevco play lol.

30 Jun 2024 22:13:56
It was like watching us play ?.
