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…

    he is in adeje with my mum..

     

     

    not back till next week…

  2. Brown and Stokes will be missed tomorrow – both seem to enjoy playing in the type of tousy games you get at Pittodrie. I don’t know how much Aberdeen’s style will have changed since Derek Adams took over, but they seem to have their belief back.

     

     

    Adam Matthews will play at RB in the absence of Lustig. This is a GOOD THING. We’re short of defenders. It may be that Ambrose and Mulgrew will play at CB, but I’d prefer to see the latter at CM alongside Kayal and introduce Mouyokolo, who looks like a decent replacement for Kelvin Wilson.

     

     

    Mcgeouch I haven’t been that impressed with, but he does play well with Matthews behind him. Finally, I’d prefer to see 2 strikers up front – Commons and Watt have played twice in a 4-4-1-1, Commons/Samaras once, and it didn’t exactly catch fire on any of those occasions. Let Tony play as part of a regular 4-4-2; it’s where he performs best.

  3. STV reporting they want £2.5m for Teemu… A guy they paid half that for and has rarely featured. I don’t think so!

     

     

    Might be half the price of Iceman but that’s not value!

     

     

    Would like him in and it may be decent money for him but his price tag is not justified in comparison to his recent record.

    Sipsini, get someone to ring you when your with your boss and you can then make your emergency excuses and leave!

    NL Paul67 and Phil all know their place in the scheme of things. Not to bite the hand that feeds. Yup I remember another team in Glasgow that done their business in this way. They are dead now. Unfortunately not their protection racket. I wonder who or what they are protecting. Their own interests it seems to me.

  6. Good aftrnoon all

     

     

    God bless Wee Oscar. Was shattered last night when I heard the latest news.

     

     

    As regards Celtic, I still get the same buzz outside the Stadium while waiting to enter. I don’t believe this will ever leave me since the early 60s. When I go to watch my team, the last thing on my mind is what’s happening up the stairs. Maybe it’s just me. I just love them. Call me a supporter.

    Does anyone else think Teemu bares a striking resemblance to that retired Swedish International Thomas Brolan ? H.H.

    I was up at celtic park getting my ticket this afternoon.. saw sammi come out to board the team bus…. ran over to say hello hello and got my picture with him… it was posted on facebook within a minute … still a wee bhoy at 52

  10. My Dear Kojo….

     

     

    From What I Have Seen,I’m More Impressed By The Iceman….

     

     

    I Think That We Should Have Paid Up the £5.5M Last Week…..

     

     

    And Brought Him Over To Train With The Squad….

     

     

    In The Run-Up To The CL Qualifier…

     

     

    After All….We Are Only Paying Out What We’ve Received For Girnin’Garry….

     

     

    Without Breaking Into The Victor Millions

     

     

    The Kazaks Will Be A Very Tough Nut To Crack…..

     

     

    They Apparently Play A Reserve In League Fixture,Before Euro Ties….

     

     

    To Give Their First Team Adequate Rest And Preparation…..

     

     

    Shades Of Athletico Madrid’s Argie Cloggers In The 1974 EC Semi…..

     

     

    And They Will Surely Have A Homer Of A Referee….

     

     

    Given That Kazakhstan Is One Of The Most Corrupt Countries In The World…

     

     

    It’ll Be A Real ROUGH-HOUSE….

     

     

    Celtic Will Be Shown Up As Shell-Shocked Naïve,Innocents…

     

     

    AGAIN……

     

     

    At Least With Finbogasson….

     

     

    He Carries A Potent Threat…..

     

     

    Even If He Doesn’t Score..

     

     

    Which Will Stop Their CBs Bombing Forward For FK,Corners….

     

     

    In The Opposing Half…..

     

     

    As They Are Prone To Do….

     

     

    Speedster Stokes…?

     

     

    Ye’re Laughin’….

     

     

    Failure To Qualify For The Group Stages

     

     

    Will Be Worse Than The Artmedia Season….

     

     

    Because We Have Funds To Spend….

     

     

    Which Are Not Being Used….

     

     

    I’m Not Interested In Developing This ‘Celtic Triangle’….

     

     

    With A Dedicated Car Lane ‘Specially For Timbhoy2’s SAAB…..

     

     

    And A White Elephant ‘Celtic Hotel’…..

     

     

    Right..?

    The Boy Jinky, get him to Pittodrie tomorrow and sit him behind HT, everytime the ball gravitates toward HT he can duck and Sipsini gets hit, after a few Broonie pile drivers, (not as hard as setting free the bears mind you!!!) he will get off on tuesday no bother simples!!!!!!
