“Celtic suffer double transfer blow as they are priced out of moves for Scotland duo Steven Fletcher and Ikechi Anya.” Fantasy stuff from a guy at the Record who was chased from Celtic Park a long time ago and hasn’t been allowed back since.
No offence to Ikechi, but if Peter Lawwell sanctioned the payment of £4m to a guy who is in and out the Watford team he’d be the next one chased out of Celtic Park. He is categorically not a person of interest.
They’ve also got the story on Steven Fletcher wrong. Sunderland are keen on Virgil van Dijk and know Celtic are looking for a striker. The English club were up for using Fletcher as a make-weight but we confirmed here two weeks ago this scenario was dead before it got off the ground. Celtic didn’t even ask to speak to Fletcher, never mind inquire about his wage demands. Celtic need Virgil for the qualifiers and need a striker for the qualifiers. The deal was not contemplated at any wage level, Sunderland knew this from the off.
Sunderland paid £12m for Fletcher and are coughing up £48k per week wages, not the £60k reported this morning. Getting the wages figure right is easy, just ask someone who was involved, and it wouldn’t change the parsimonious Celtic agenda. The fact that Fletcher’s wage figure is wrong tells you the quality of the source. He’s a good enough player but he’s a totem of so much that’s wrong in English football.
Today’s ‘news’ is as old as I am: ‘Rangers’ ‘immediately stepped in with a bid which has been accepted’, Celtic are ‘priced out of moves’. It’s what it looks like, the fantasy of a man who’s banned from Celtic Park.
God help this poor Irish lad if he makes it through his medical, the weight of expectation will be heavy on his shoulders soon enough. I seriously didn’t get where they were coming from with that ‘Fear no Foe’ business, b.t.w. The world’s changed so much.

Teemu Pukki signs for Brondby from Celtic for £480k. Pukki joined Celtic from FC Schalke for £2.1m in 2013.

Try Oz….now better than the States and a home from home with benefits from anyone from the British Isles. NZ not to shabby neither.
*40 year here the morra but often wondered why I didnae go elsewhere especially in the middle of winter. I suppose the 5 1/2 hour flight hame and relatively cheap airfare had something to do with it.

Use that cash along with a P45 to Derk and Amido

I didn`t miss them either.
£480k for Pukki….about as much as he’s worth…sadly we paid £2m for him ….
Add Bangura and Balde and we might just have bagged a decent striker

Evening troops, need some help remembering a movie from late 80′s or early 90′s regarding a heist on a casino in Las Vegas and all the robbers were dressed in Elvis white suit outfits. Anybody remember the name of the movie please?
==========
i think it was called
The day elvises robbed vegas.
happy to help
Winning Captains
Puuki bought for £2.1 m & sold for £480 k ?
Any evidence to back those numbers up ?
PF Ayr
Other than Hooper, and perhaps Stokes at times, we have struggled on the purchasing of forwards. Thought Pukki had something about him. It just didn’t seem to work out for him or us!
Hoping that Griffiths goes onto to be a great player for us at least on the pitch :-)
HH
CRC
Good to see pukki off the books
Only balde, derk, mcgeoch, stokes, forrest and mulgrew left to move out.
In my opinion anyway.
3000 miles to graceland
CRC
Agreed
We have bought so much dross in pursuit of a bargain it’s be one a dreadful waste of money
Add to my three above Boeriggter and Rasmussen ….shocking return
Cloghercelt
Read somewhere Dermot o Brien was so late getting into croker for the all Ireland final they had to make an announcement over the loadspeakers for the crowd to let him in as he was being mobbed so much
I’m repeating myself here
Whoever it was that identified and decided Amido Balde should be signed for Celtic, should not be working for Celtic again
Proud bhoy, just my opinion, I would also move on McGregor if possible
Ginger,
I think he went for a painkilling injection in Malahide.
Remember this in 1957, when he got to Croke Park the stewards wouldn’t let him in…until the Louth lads convinced them he was playing.
He went on to captain the team and win the Sam Maguire.
PFAyr, there’s also been a few loanee’s and one signed from Spanish league, was it Michu ? Or something, Brozeck ? Can’t remember the name of the other who came on loan from Spain
Hail Hail
Fridjonhson seems to be another who doesn’t look like being a success
Pf Ayr somebody needs to be accountable for wasting our money on that scale-shocking
Cowiebhoy last post was in answer to your post too hh
anya fletcher no just wee suggestion we have good relationship with Southampton victor the wall we all know all the overated epl teams will go into sickening transfer deals now shane long on loan maybe pace good in the air fan of us only asking he wont get game with saints next year better than names said so far
Corkcelt
They paid 12m for Shane long
They will want least half of that back if imagine , they are probably happy to keep him as back up striker aswel. Scored couple goals towards end of last season.
CQN, the Rangers of Celtic anti-Catholicism
GBOP
Johann
100% agreed
Hail Hail
Cowiebhoy
Aye them 2 would probably be good to get off the books aswel.. I’m still hopeful thou McGregor might come good.. Right place at right time is half the battle and he is good at that.
Another loan deal might help him.
Cowiebhoy
Miku….Brozek …utter waste of cash
Balde….seems a nice guy ..a real try hard …I’ve seen much better Sunday league players
Johann
I’ve often wondered who scouted that sorry list
Lenny knew Hooper …
The rest have been dross apart from Griffiths ….
Proudbhoy
yeah agree but lets just say word on the streets in cork saying you never know ask see what happens
