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.

Indeed, what’s not to like…:)
Thanks for your FB message this morning.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Great craic tonight guys, and it is only with your comments, and especially your support, which changed my mind. We really are a family and proud to be part of it. :))
Weefra HH
Doc
the way he spoke of Celtic and Tommy Burns makes him a good
wee guy in my eyes h.h
Can’t believe the Stokes news.
Just as Lawwell owes Lenny big time, Lenny owes Stokes a fair deal – no less.
Anthony Stokes is the most important player in the Celtic squad.

whits the craic wi the eggs lol?
Did someone post on here last season that Anthony Stokes was only getting a years extension?
Maybe thats whats holding things up.
Evening all,
First of all my thoughts and prayers go to GCT– I hope all works out there and that every day is positive.
Secong — great post earlier by Tintine Tim– My dad was a St Pat’s boy and he knew Frank Brogan– fast and speedy player I was told.
Lastly– as we are into the close season here is a wee non football related tale that I had been thinking of telling for some time– simply because the wee man concerned was so amazing and had some tale to tell.
I had to give it a name– so called it:
The Man from God Knows Where– and God Knows When!

LennyBhoy, you are welcome mhate, your wife must be a patient women.
TommysBhoy, the way he did that, and then the way he talks of the club at every opportunity.

Not read back, and just catching up with what I read at work.
Tom McLaughlin; read your note his morning, thoughts and prayers with you, but remember the Rebel in us Tims,and from a wee song ” wee shall never be defeated” keep the faith.
Whilst on about faith, who knows a Monsignor Leo Cushley ? I hear he may be returning to Scotland into one of the vacant roles, along with Monsignor Patrick Burke, who is our ex Cowie and Bannockburn priest, both currently working out of Rome, but about to return ?
Lennybhoy and Mrs Lennybhoy, all the very best, and here’s to the next 19

Back to the phone for me:-((
Oglach
Up until.. those LAST TWO GAMES..that Stokesy Played fir us..
Ah widnae hiv Shed a tear if .. Stokesy Signed a Noo Contract or No.
Tae be quite Candid..
Ah wiz not Impressed by Mr. Stokes..Over the Years that he has bin wi’ us.
His Passing was ..Hit or Miss.. and his Attitude..
Stunk.
He wiz petulant..and He wiz.. well.. Lazy.
Like Ah said..oan his Return from his Bad Injury..
MA opinion of him … did a Wan Eighty..
and Ah Changed Ma Opinion..ABOOT THE LAD.. so Ah did.
Ah thought that he wiz a real Solid Citizen..and wiz worth a
Noo Contract..
All that being said..
It is possible that Pierre, Harbors an Opinion of Mr.Stokes.. that is Not quite so Sanguine,as Mine..
Mebbe, Mr. Pierre..has still tae be convinced of the Staying Power..of New Improved and mair successful.. Model.that Mr.Stokes has Noo Become.. almost. over-Night.
In fact, Mr.Pierre, if appears tae me… He jist refuses tae believe his Ain eyes..and still regards Mr.Stokes as a Player who we could well Do Withoot.as we could do..with.
So.. Pierre,has Made an offer ..that he Knows full well..
Will be Refused.. and
Mr.Pierre.. couldnae care Less,if it is..
And.. well..
It Has bin..well.. Refused.
Ball,is noo , in Pierre’s side of the Net..
Wull he..Bat it Back..and Increase his offer..??
Hmmmmmmmm
Ah am a Bettin’ Man.. but.. not a foolish Man..
so..
Ah widnae mak A bet oan which way Mr. Pierre wull go ,oan this wan..
Remains tae be seen.. that is Ma Verdict..
Kojo
Still..Laughin’
Anthony Stokes IMO is a Celtic MHAN through and through,Celtic don’t treat that type with respect,at boys level,youth level and senior level,if you are Celtic through and through ,they take it for granted,and expect you to accept less because of your love for the club.
Doc is Neil Lennon 22:42:
She is indeed, says that she’s glad the season is over, might see more of me…then over dinner I slipped in that I was going to Aberdour, hoping to make it 20 in-a-row next year…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Cowiebhoy 22:45:
Cheers mate. Don’t know Monsignor Leo Cushley personally but if I’m correct I believe he originally hails from ML5…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
cowiebhoy
Cheers for that. :))
Weefra HH
CowieBhoy
I’m sure Leo Cushley was once of my old Airdrie parish of St Andrews very early in his days.
There are a few vacancies at the moment and he would be a popular appointment.
LennyBhoy, I’m sure we might have to meet a few CQNers at some point over the summer to discuss, ehmmm, Celtic related business. Can’t make the Golf day though, too close to the holidays.
Weefra’
Was wondering if you had read/watches/listened to any of the Joel Salatin stuff on bio dynamic agriculture
Evening all.
WeeFra
That’s got to be the shortest flounce in CQN history son!!! :-)
A wee thought, but Tony Stokes’ may have been his own worse enemy when calling out for an improved contract.
Fanadpatriot
Bang on mate.
Remember when Jackie MacNanara left .He was offerred a contract which he got the impression was done on the basis ‘ it’s only wee Jackie , he’ll sign’
Another good Celtic man lost!
Grown irritated over the years when ‘ fly by nights ‘ have come into our club and left with a fortune when good Celtic men have been paid much less in comparison.
Really hope Stokesie doesn’t go the same way
My Dear Kojo….
Cartoons For Adults…?
Wull….There’s “Fritz The Cat”…
Back In The Seventies…..
OOOooo…Minnie The Moocher….!
And…Of Course British Childrens’ Cartoons In The ’70-’80s…..
Like “The Magic Roundabout”,”Mr Benn”,”Hector’s house”..And “The Clangers” ….
All Worked On Two Levels….
One For The Children….
And One For Subliminally Subverting The Adults…
With Marxist Ideology…..
Especially Those Produced By The Notorious BBC Leftie…
Oliver Postgate…..
Right..? Darned Right..!
Lennybhoy
Many commiserations to the long suffering Maureen :-)

Nice to be able to say hello. I was never taught by you but was in your last under 11s at st bridgets. I was big for my age, had fairish hair with a coo’s lick and glasses (what a catch!) i share the same 1st name with pat gardners son who played in the same side and my second initial is S. Your the 1st poster who’s identity is known to me so congratulations on that one! The 3-3-4 formation you had us playing was great, will look forward to future postings of yours. Hope you and yours are well

Re our Tony, I feel he wants to stay but is hanging in there for the best possible deal Celtic can offer him. Just MO.

“Folks this ain’t normal”
I have it as an audiobook- it’s like a reference book on natural philosophy for me
I kinda agree with Kojo re Stokes.
He’s not a favourite of mine. If he stays I would see him as a back-up striker. Theres far too many basic faults in his game.
i admit he does have his occasional good days and also has an understanding with Hoops . But Hoops is unlikly to be here .
Just back on…. Thoughts are with you Tom.
