Agents talk to the media when they are not talking to Celtic

1126

One of the problems of doing your business discretely is that if and when agents or selling clubs publicise your interest in their player, media attention has a tendency to attribute too much focus on the most recent name revealed.  Teemu Pukki is a player Celtic have been trailing for some months but the fact that his agent yesterday revealed their interest is no indication that he enjoys any pre-eminence over others strikers being considered.  If anything, briefings from the agent are an indication of the opposite.

Reports yesterday that Pukki is backup in case a bid for Finnbogason fails are also wide of the mark; this is not the active path Celtic are working on.  There are (at least) two other strikers under consideration, neither of whom have directly or indirectly leaked the discussions.

Nothing sells media adverts like transfer ‘news’, which is fair enough, but news is easier to find than the actual story. This is a ‘no news’ article, the easiest of all. No panicking in the back…

    With Sky losing 2/7 of the sports packages I would expect they would need to reduce their subscriptions accordingly.

     

     

    This may offset the BT Sport charge

    I wonder if one of those strikers with who Celtic are talking could be Danko Lazovic?

    A new era for Scottish football. Where the authorities are benign. We dont even know today if Celtic want that. From our actions AND lack of them clearly not. You could have bought shares. Who knows we might even be allowed to pitch our eminnences a legitimate question if we have enough of them. Not that we would get an honest answer. More spin than an atom is all we and this blog seem capable of.

    I don’t know if that’s expensive or not but I have people asking for it to be put on so it gives me something to quote when I ask the management for more money

    It might have been you mate, I was just glad to hear some one else

     

    is hacked off when they here it, as some one who was born in the Gorbals

     

    and whose extended family also came from there and always referred to it

     

    as the Sooside it does ma nut in when the media refer to them as the Southside

     

    club, and if you are referring to the Stanley bar in Kinning Park, I thought

     

    that had closed down ages ago ,enjoyed a few in their in times past.

    Hi there,Dia daoibh uilig

     

     

    Just rewatched the Liverpool game

     

     

    Wondering if Jim McGuinness’ influence is starting to show through.

     

     

    All the young Bhoys looked very confident and not one bit out of place.

     

     

    Suggestions that NL and Paul67 are spin doctoring for the club is tantamount to calling them both liars

     

     

    If you can’t believe what these people say, what are you’s doing here

  16. Neil says…

     

     

    “We’re always looking to strengthen. It’s frustrating at the minute, a lot of Clubs don’t want to let players go, I’m sure it’s frustrating for supporters as well but we have to be patient & assure them we are working as hard as we can to rectify that.”- Neil Lennon.

    £12k for 7 packages was the going rate, Sky only have 5 football packages now so their charges should reduce pro-rata, I guess that’s a question that needs asking.

  18. Stanley bar still there with a few auld Gorbals boys in it as well though it recently lost its 8 am license. The barstewards.

    I know how the rules apply…that’s why i can’t dive…3 strikes now and you won’t get paid.

     

     

    I’ll tell thems on Monday to just dock me an hour and watch the hoops.

    Istanbul Celt, lived in Dublin near both Bohemians & Shelbourne and never really bothered about it. One of my friends from college was a big St Pats fan and i went a few times to their European games and enjoyed the summer football aspect, you can’t beat the long summer evenings . Incidentally must be the only fan to have seen Karagandy in the flesh, weren’t too good against Pats so if we approach it in the right manner we should be ok.
