Paulo Bernardo’s signature on a loan-to-buy-option concluded Celtic’s business last night. It follows the same scouting, recruitment and commercial path established with Jota two years earlier.
At 21, he is bang on plan. If Celtic are to make a significant leap forward, we will not do it with mid-20s honest pros. Talent needs to be on the cusp of maturity, with world-class development added.
It would be an interesting move to start Paulo tomorrow, but a place on the bench isn’t out of the equation.
Welcome to Celtic, Paulo.
I’m seldom confident ahead of Ibrox and tomorrow is no different. The game is perhaps a few weeks early for us. Still, we have a manager and squad that know how to win there. Nothing to lose, Celtic.
Round up on the window next week.

I can’t think of a midfielder less suited to what we’re gonna face tomorrow than Turnbull.
He may have his place in our squad but starting at Ibrox where time and space will be at a premium isn’t one of them.
Bernardo to start for me. If not him then Iwata but I suspect BR doesn’t rate Iwata, so Bernado it is. The lad I believe has 5 CL appearances for Benfica so throw him in.
We’ve nothing to lose.
scott of the antartic is on bbc2, nobody spoil the ending for me
on a positive not for the negatorians, (could that be a thing),
there are a whole new bunch of escaped goats to pick from,
it has started already.
Burnley 1 up on Spurs, who are over playing it at the back and being caught in possession.
Who’d have thought it?
Nice going forward.
The model is
We buy a prospect year 1
We play them regularly year 2 and 3
We sell the at the end of year 3
So on that basis it’s last year’s prospects that should be kicking on this year Iwata etc.
Of course buying ready to go players is allowed.

When the Film ” TITANIC” came out in the mid 1990’s, my then Burd said to me….” Big Jimmy, I really want to see THAT Film TITANIC….DON’T tell me how it ends” !
LOL.
In 1975 I took my then Burd ( later my to be my 1st wife) to see JAWS in the Cinema.
When we got to the Pay Desk, I said to the wee lassie behind the screen….” Give me Two for the SHALLOW End Hen”.
LOL

Will Paulo BERNARDO became known as ” The DOCTOR” ?…Or maybe just ” DOC” ?
I just hope that he doesnt break our HEARTS ?
LOL

Me and my pal queued up for half an hour to see Titanic.
Just as we were about to go in through the door, a uniformed arm stretched across to block our path.
‘Sorrry, Gents. Women and children only”.
I got a Titanic airfix model kit for my last christmas,
i started on it, but its unfinished there are several lifeboats missing.
At least KT’s getting a game in Spain. Better away from EBT Arteta. Winning 3- 0
that is a cruels joke actually when i consider the plaque i saw in athlone and the loss of all those poor irish people on board.
god rest them.
Even Dundee can score against st J

Ajeti is still in talks with a Turkish club. Deal should go through next
Thanks Tom
For what it is worth. I think the Bhoys will come away with a 3 – 1 win tomorrow.
Good to see Big Jimmys `jokes` alongside Petethebeats and StStivs Titanic jojes.
Helped to cheer me up after the glut of negativity from TGSITW.
Some posters on this site are just ridiculous in their negativity.
Not only the negativity but the arrogant assumptions:
`We all know`
`Everyone can see`
What we should be doing`
Etc, etc ,etc.
if there is no reserve league how/what do all these development/project players do on match days
Go to the bookies !!

At 21, he is bang on plan…..
If the plan is to buy and sell for a huge profit with none of it going back into the squad..yes spot on Paul.
So the truth is Celtic brought in 8 transfers and 2 loans but we dont know the loan costs or what the terms are for an option to buy.
We still spent £18.3 million.

These will be the same supporters who booed Fergus as he unfurled the league flag.

Tom and Ton
Those would seem very likely assumptions :-))
Cheerio for now.
Hot Smoked,
what scunners me is that some “supporters” seem to come on here solely to attack Paul67 or Peter Lawwell. Any idea why?
The English pundits raving about Angeball :-( Spurs now in second behind Man City.
£20M down the tubes in transfer fees. Add in wages its circa £50M wasted by Lawwell’s self appointed transfer guru with no track record.

Both Lawwell’s need to be removed after tomorrows defeat.

‘attack’
come on, behave yourself
he puts a story up for everyone to comment on
its what keeps his site alive
As the afternoon and beers wear on I’m getting more confident about manana
there are 20 moderators on here
if paul was getting attacked then they would be barred
I might be in the minority but tomorrow holds no fears. They are worse than last year, our biggest threat, by a big margin, is the mibs particularly whoever is in the var cupboard 🤔
