We got deals done early in the January window and surprised on the upside by signing Cameron Carter-Vickers on a permanent deal 10 days ago. This led some to believe Celtic had found the magic formula to get deals done early always.
I see evidence of this faith everywhere. What about Jota, why are we dragging our heals with that left back? It is as though everyone online has the ability to see the value in getting deals done early, but those responsible for getting deals over the line are oblivious to this fact.
Celtic have not reinvented transfer window dynamics. Carter-Vickers loan deal had clauses in place that gave Celtic control over what happened. The players we recruited from Japan in January were not subject to competitive bids from others in Europe.
If you are an Argentinian club with a left back that is subject to a bid from a Champions League side, why would you sell early? You have one club on the hook, if the player is any way adequate, there will be others monitoring him. The club’s motivation is to get as many active bidders as possible. Only then will they discover their best price.
The same goes for players and agents. Why agree a deal unless there is only one possible buyer? This is the way football transfers work and nothing has changed since the windows started. If you want someone with a competitive profile, unless they have a buy-out clause, be prepared to be messed around for a while. I expect we will land more of our top targets than we will miss this summer, but don’t kid yourself that any player will come to Scotland if he has an offer from the top half of the English Premier League.

Jota has a few loose ends to tie up with his agent.
The travel agent at Barrhead travel.
May Isobel rest in peace. Condolences to Fairhill Bhoy and all the family.
Celtic fans don’t do no steenking agents.

£200 million turnover in the SPFL?
I doff my cap for this outstanding trolling by you.
Even id Celtic negotiated individual tv rights for home matches we couldn’t get near that, but i’m sure you know that.
I’m beginning to think that you are the best parody contributor on Celtic message boards.
L14 @ 6.57
Well we managed £70mill in 2003/04.
Not sure what the season tickets were that season or the cost of an adult shirt.
26 years of trying and we cannot treble our T/O?
PL never left much of a legacy did he?
2030 — the TV channel will be the game changer.
That and all the football we will be playing — Ladies / youths / B team / US team / Aus team.
It will all start to add up.
Good evening all from the Laurieston Bar. On the Guinness again. How I suffer for my art.
AIPPLE.
Speaking with FAIRHILL BHOY he said to reassure you about the tickets….
The downside is you’ll have to meet me to collect them…. 😊👍
RIP Isobel

I had no time for Lawwell, he held the club back for years while his obscene salary and bonus grew, but you have to be realistic about how the club could get anywhere near that.
Isobel, Rest In Peace.
FAIRHILL BHOY, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Condolences to Fairhill Bhoy and family 💚

Croatian national team right back Josip Juranovic is expected to leave Celtic FC this summer as many clubs are following him. 🇭🇷 #transfers
Jurankvic is attracting interests from Premier League clubs too after great season for club and country.
——
Please Celtic don’t do this. Give us one summer without losing a top player.
I hope the rumour about JJ is just that, but I will wager now that if someone were to offer us say circa £10m, the suits would bite their hands off, then give Ange a couple of mill, but we could be like the huns and ask for £40-£50 m…..
Oh and probably piss off Ange into the bargain
But as ever we should all know by now that the team are secondary to the muney, the dirty filthy muney that the suits cream over.
Juranovic has been getting pushed by the media here since the season ended and he played in those nations league matches, the Scottish sports media want him gone as he is a class player, if there is any truth in this and he wants to go then its about Celtic getting the maximum fee for him, I don’t want him to go but AP won’t stand in his way if he wants to go,I really hope there’s nothing in this , if there is and he wants to leave bids start at 25m, he is that good.

My condolences to you and your family ,rest in peace isabel
I agree, the SMSM will do everything in their power to upset our pre-season preparations.
The chance of playing in the Champions League this season, hopefully will be a big factor.
Also, I believe he looks as if he is enjoying his time here, loves playing with all his teammates and most importantly, he looks like he ‘gets’ Celtic.
All the report says is that other clubs are interested in Juranovic. Only the media – and TET – could turn that into “he’s leaving”.
A couple of weeks ago he laughed off questions about him leaving Celtic and said he was very happy where he was.
Short memories.
He’s going nowhere. I will stake my admittedly drunken reputation on that. If I could find it.
My last post was in response to DESSYBHOY on 20TH JUNE 2022 8:24 PM post
This tweet from Fabrizo Romano has no foundation, on the grounds of what? Has he offered any concrete evidence, even naming interested clubs, nope, load of pish😵
Aye but don’t youse know that if the hun keep on an aging goalie , we have to sell a top star , cause that’s how the mssm works
Paul67 et al
Every day it seems some club is signing somebody from Portugal
Everybody that is except Celtic FC and Jota…….
A tune for a very good friend of mine I’m pleased to say.

All 1 year extensions for McGregor, Davies, Goldson and Lundstrom, they are skint and fecked and skint.
Roll on next season, we’re gonnae batter them.
Came out of the Laurieston went for the bus. The hun family from hell were gathered like raggedy arsed scarecrows. To quote a poster from here “some of them looked like their eyes and teeth were in the right place”. I may have to go to Neesons to get over the trauma.
Condolences to Fairhill Bhoy on the loss of his sister
Solace to all her friends and family
RIP Isobel
