I read our treble-winning captain, Tom Boyd, in the Herald advising Celtic to retain players who want away or decline to sign new contracts, until after their Champions League qualification ties, an idea we discussed some time ago. Tellingly he added, “They will see when they go down south it’s not always as bright down there as they think it will be”, perhaps a reference to his time in the Chelsea defence.
There is unlikely to be much difference in value achieved between selling before or after the qualifiers, so as long as the players stay on-side with Neil Lennon and the club, there will be no reason to sell before then.
Recruiting is a different matter. Celtic will want players in as soon as possible but with all in-demand talent, selling clubs have little reason to cash-in before the business end of August. For me, there are some on the list we are currently linked with (I’m trying to avoid stepping onto the speculation train as long as possible) who I’ll be happy to see sign elsewhere. Half the battle in transfer windows is to avoid the bad Fortune of splurging money on players who don’t work out.

TommysBhoy, Might be a presumption, but are you referring to players/managers doing the double both as a player and then a manager? McLeish and Strachan did this it was not for the same team though. Does that make a big difference, maybe only to me, but I think so.

There I was tonight sitting on the bus back from Embra to civilisation, minding my own business and reading today’s posts on CQN only to find that I am being discussed by 3 posters!

Thanks very much for remembering me. Greenyinfurrafenian – even if I was a spitter. I loved my years in St. Bridget’s and St. Francis of Assisi. I remember both schools fondly and the football and athletics teams as well. One year, I even had a basketball team at St. Bridget’s.
I know Wycombe Bhoy well. If it’s not asking you to give away too much would Greenyin…. And G69 mind posting your initials or give me a hint who you are.

I haven’t read any of the blog and this is most certainly going to be off topic but I think everyone should be aware of this….

And so the global war on everyone continues…. There is only one real group of terrorists right now and that is the faceless ones hiding behind government.

Read about your bad news. You’re a very brave man. As they say, it’s also good to talk and unburden yourself. I’ve already read the encouragement being given to you by others. Add me to the list of those who’ll be saying prayers for you.
Keep The Faith
Anto Stokes rejects contract offer!! FFS Celtic get your finger out and make the bhoy a decent offer. He wants to stay and the implication is that the offer didn’t come near what he believes is fair. Anto is one we need to keep.

Seeing as you’re posting of new let me ask the time honoured question.
Are you a Hun?

I don’t wanton to sound like a quack or anything but I remember an article some years ago in The Herald which indicated that pomegranate juice had been found to have some sort of positive effect on slowing down the rate of growth of prostate cancer.
Information can be found if you google ‘pomegranate juice and prostate cancer’.

May your faith reinforce your inner strength, supported by all our thoughts and prayers …God Bless….
