Blackett, Christie and our biggest spend in 14 years

846

Tyler Blackett’s arrival, announced moments before halftime on Saturday, was welcome. He’ll immediately push Izzie, who has had no real competition for the left back berth since arriving at Celtic five years ago – an incredible situation.

The Ryan Christie situation surprised me. Ryan performed well against a Celtic defence in a state of flux earlier this month, as he has done previously against us, but it will certainly a curious signing (this morning Inverness Caledonian Thistle announced they have accepted a bid from Celtic).  More on these two later.

As for rumours that we’re about to spend more money on a player than we have since John Hartson arrived 14 years ago……. Well, that is a change of pace. On top of this business, I’m sure there will be more comings and goings in defence, and elsewhere.  Stay tuned……..

Thanks to everyone who entered the raffle for the Golf Day for four at Aberdour.  Taggsy informed the winner (Gerry) by email this morning.

  1. Good debate on talksport( a phrase you don’t hear every day) , re why top EPL clubs have Academies? No point if they go and buy anyone they want

    “We have been linked with several strikers in the media but I can assure the Celtic fans that Kevin Kyle was always our number one target.

     

    We welcome Kevin and wish him every success at Celtic”

    Does the transfer window not slam shut at midnight tomorrow?

     

     

    Think it 6pm. It closes midnight tonight in Spain.

    Scotland does, England 18:00. Should be today but because of Bank Holiday.

    I’m so jealous – I currently coveting a fish-pie.

  10. JFH-An old adage was only sign someone if he is better than what you have, Stokes or Ciftci? I will of course give Ciftci the season to prove himself. HH

    Pretend you work for Tesco’s home delivery team by heading to your local shop for bread and milk, but coming back with two litres of diet coke and a packet of jaffa cakes.

  17. Evening all.

     

     

    Busy day could some kind Tim update me on actual ins and outs today please?

  18. Anyone got the inside track on the Simunovic deal?

     

     

    Seems very odd. All the talk out of Zagreb is that he is not very good.

     

     

    I watched the Molde footage and Croatian cup final highlights and the poor laddie looked like he was clueless.

     

     

    I know the Zagreb board are meant to be crooks, is it possible this fee is getting inflated?

     

     

    There have been numerous Croat under 21 players sold to big clubs in recent years but few at the figure we are being given. And that includes the young superstar sold to Barca.

     

     

    All seems very fishy

    Cheers, Tommy Gee was a mystery, thought he would run amok in the. sol but think he thought he was still shooting GOAL, can believe he played in the same team as Zidane, wonder what Zinedane thought of Tommy

    Has Lennybhoy bumped you from his text alerts ?

     

     

    So far nothing concrete but plenty of heresay

     

     

    Don’t believe the rumours unless you see them in the hoops

    TOMMIE, If we are not happy with the offer for VVD the answer is simples turn it down. H.H.

  26. PFayr-Stan Collymore just said he was offeded to Spurs,6 weeks ago for €20 mil……

  28. Hamilton Tim
