I would say that the jury is still out on wether the board have pulled a sleight of hand on Celtic fans.
I want to believe the lack of investment in team to date is due to Brendan being careful to secure the right targets.
However the cynic in me and the boards previous has me worried.

Why do some on here talk about buying and selling players as if it is ever in the power of just one party.
Unlike Mars bars, players (the commodity) actually have a say in the deal.
So there has to be a willing seller – there has to be a willing buyer – there has to be a willing player – there has to be an agreed price between seller and buyer – there has to be an agreed deal for the player – there has to be an agreed deal for the agent.
That’s six variiables that have to be negotiated before any deal goes through.
Add in the less than appetising prospect of playing and living in Scotland…
Can those calling to get rid of this one and buy that one, perhaps start living in the real world – it is not that simple.

100% correct.I have no idea what game some people were watching but the boy had a horrendous time trying to pass the ball to a Celtic player.Looked very nervous,like Bambi on Ice.Has been good in the past though.

Turkeybhoy,
Hopefully Jozo turns out to be a quality player. Dinamo Zagreb have produced some quality.
The question remains however about the wisdom of dealing with Zdravko Mamic.
Have a look at him. The dates of his arrest, bail and re-arrest. Have a look at some of the transfers he was allegedly involved in.
There’s no question of any wrongdoing by Celtic. It’s more a matter of competence.
On another note;
Have a look at Scepovic’s transfer history. Look at what Celtic paid for him? How long we kept him?
….these bhoys need encouragement …..not criticism….
HA ha ha ha ha,can you imagine the crowds reaction if it had been Efe passing the ball continually to Wolfsburg players.”Encouragement”I think not.
I agree with you though.He still had a nightmare on Saturday,but as I said,has been good in other games.

What’s difficult to understand? As time goes by I find myself agreeing with Negs points more than I did before. Simples. When the Celtic board sat idly by through the 5 way agreement I thought “they’re biding their time” that was obviously NOT the case. If the Celtic board are proved not to be complicit in this now bastardised scenario I will be very very surprised. I hate to say it but Scottish football now means as much as WWF.

Turkeybhoy,
cepovic,was he any good,or was it just the way we played?.I have no idea.Dont think we paid anything like what was reported for him.TET,who seen a lot more of him than an of us,always rated him in Spain.
Simunovic.Nearly impossible to judge any of our CHs the way things have been for a couple of years.No consistency of selection through one thing or another.Not easy playing with a different defence most weeks.I think Boyatta has suffered with this also.I liked what I saw of him,looked good left side with KT.
The transfer situation is a minefield all over the world.What I was saying was,he needs a good run in the team,alongside Eric,then he can be judged.If he is a “Real”sick note,or not that good,then get shot,but give him a chance.One thing,you wont get me slaughtering Celtic players.

Yes Šćepović is a mystery. He did score 23 goals in 39 games at Gijon. There’s nothing in his record before that to suggest that form.
There’s further questions I could ask but what’s the point?
Anyway, it’s all history now I suppose.
Let’s hope Brendan can get a handle on player recruitment and get the team going.

Looking more and more,and the stories are really circulating,that the attempted Coup here in Turkey was a put up job by the government.6000 arrests made in two days !!!!!!!.2,800 judges huckled.Over 3,000 top army staff huckled.Erdogan putting all his own men in their places.Experts saying it was the worst attempt at a Coup ever.All the soldiers involved,young conscripts who say they were told they were going on an excercise.

We put together the package ourselves. Travel agents versions were prohibitively expensive.
I just looked at Google maps and arrived on our itinerary that way. There are direct flights from London to Ponta Delgado, but we booked easyjet from Edinburgh to Lisbon and spent a few days there, and then flew to Ponta Delgado from there.
We thought that it would be a one off, so decided to go the whole hog, and see a few of the Islands. We booked internal flights online (about €100 a pop) and booked hotels and accommodation through booking.com. Accommodation room rate has been around €65 – €90 per night. We were 6 nights at Ponta Delgado on San Miguel Island. We are currently staying 7 nights on Pico (picked here as you can travel by ferry for day trips to two other Islands – San Jorge and Faial. On Wednesday we fly to Angra de Heroismo on Terceira Island for 3 nights and then fly from there back to Lisbon, for another three nights before returning to Edinburgh and driving home. Internal Azores flights can only be booked by SATA, the Azorian airline.
We are really enjoying it. It is different than a Med holiday, but I would recommend it. I have travelled and worked all over Europe and can safely say that the scenery here is the best I have ever seen. Food is simple, but tasty. People are nice on the whole, and beer is cheap. What’s not to like :))

It is an incredible fact that, as I write, there are 50,000 UK nationals on holiday in Turkey – part of an annual summer migration of 1.3 million Brits to Turkey alone.
“Most of the boys have learned to stay away from things like social media and most of the big players now don’t look at the critics as it only brings you down. As long as we stick together and keep our thoughts solely on ourselves and not on outside influences then we should be fine.
“There are two sides to social media, when you play well, you like to go on it and read all the nice things which are written about you. You can’t really have one side of the coin, so most players now realise that it’s best to just stay away from it.”
