If ever you needed a reason to convince you to ignore the vast majority of transfer speculation which inflicts football fans from May until 30 August, the signing of Miku Fedor is a gift. Spanish football is suffering from the kind of economic wake-up call which makes it possible for aspirational Scottish clubs (I know there’s only one) to sign strikers first choice strikers. Miku came through the scouting process last season and remained on the list but the deal had to be right.
25 goals in 85 games for a struggling team in the top league in the world (Exhibit A: Atletico) suggests we might have someone who will flourish on an acre of Glasgow and will bring experience and confidence onto the field when he faced Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow. The deal has the hallmarks of Peter Lawwell’s try-before-you-buy policy. Get them in on a loan with an option to buy. If they are successful, do the deal, if not, you’re not stuck with Ulrik Laursen breezing into training asking the other players how they got on at the weekend.
Right now the most important question is, what shape of team does Neil Lennon have in mind? Miku plays through the middle and on the right. He’s fast and he’s 6’1”. Have we bought a someone to play on the right of a front three? Perhaps, but with circa 15 first-choice midfield players to accommodate the plan is surely more complex.
More on this when we have a quieter moment, I’m off to bed to forget all apache command line prompts until January. We’ll talk goalkeepers over the weekend.

Big G,
quality comeback, I’ll remeber to avoid you and your sardonic wit, clown.
bjmac,
aye, I’ll be there tomorrow.
“many times in the past”, scratching about there for an argument, no.
You dont like what I’m saying then address my points, not some bitter memory.
BSR
Ah…
Yes a tough old game, think I might head to bed, got leaflets to hand out tomorrow. Apparently we’re being put out in teams, HamiltonTim is carrying my supply. They need the lookers to hand them out and the rest in the “back-office” doing the donkey work ;-))

yeah, even though he is a prat at times and needs to get a real job everyone say’s he is a really good dj. I have no idea to be honest. I’m just helping out as him and a few of his friends are setting up a record label so need a bit of exposure.
He’s getting more recognition lately, him and his friends.

Pleasure, – it’s high in the Jungle near the centre line, and in an area where it’s otherwise mobbed, and a single is isolated, * a few mineshafters around mind you *
Anytime, a far away Tim wants an urgent seat – I offer up, try and do a mini Awe_Naw and I’ll
get in elsewhere.

Every day that passes just highlights even more of how much an idiot you truly are..
name calling…really?

Big G, your Bhoy’s Trance vibes is driving you insane has your
Bhoy ever thought about leaving your nest?
Canamalar
No bitterness, only sweet thoughts here.
Many many many times previously, in actual fact far too numerous to mention – but you will recall, of that I have no doubt whatsoever. What would you have spent to compete with cheats, you knew were cheating and had no idea how far they would go? Just out of interest.
Email me if you wish to meet arou d the ground for a coffee, I will be finished my work around 2:15
hh
I’m sure if he is given some time and space (get it) he will
start getting some regular gigs meet a nice wee Bird and
leave the nest patience is the key here
This is the kind of thing I mean :
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before the match Helsingborgs coach, Åge Hareide, said:
“I’m looking forward to the game very much because this is one of the very best places to play football. I hope the players enjoy it. These are probably the best fans in Europe. This is why football will survive, because of teams like Celtic and the fans. In the rest of the world you see anger and bitterness. Football needs fans like this. If we aren’t in the Champions League it will be good for football that Celtic are there, because of the fans.”
After the match he was gracious and magnanimous.
“Celtic will get better and with this fantastic crowd behind them they could pick up points.”
++++++++++++
And that is from an opponent.

Second Best @ What Sydney Tim

He’s 17 and hasnt quite cottoned on to the subtle hint yet. His girlfriend & Mrs G are applying the pressure though while I waste away the days taking the piss out of him for his hair.

TimsinOhio,
beware stupid sales staff, my younf brother tried to get a season ticket today and was told he had to wait for the half season tickets on the phone.
Rather than argue he decided to pick and choose his games, reckons he just saved £500, was happy to spend £600 and the CL tickets, no wonder the sales are down
Sydney Tim is away out Barbecuing because obviously they don’t
have any winters out there only nice weather while we get all the
crap off of the Atlantic
Second Best @ What Sydney Tim?
Has anyone seen SydneyTim & Canamalar & KevJungle & BontyBhoy & .. in the same room ?
hh
bjmac
I dont think human endevour can make a room strong enough to hold those 4 personalities at the same time.
HH
“Celtic have indicated they still hope to add another striker to their squad before Monday night’s Uefa deadline for players to be registered in time for the Champions League. Clubs are allowed to sign out-of-contract players beyond the closure of the domestic transfer window”
the scotsman
Big g
It is only one person the room would need to hold, maybe 2…..
Big G I’m sure when the time is right he will leave the nest when he
has got enough shekels together and things are looking prosperous
Vic Ajax do you think that the £27,000,000 just automatically appears
even before the CL starts and the Ki money as well along with TV
Deals Ticket & Business Box Receipts Etc-etc it does not work like
that most of the said amount of money will not appear until nearly
the end of this Season
One can’t just go out and blow millions @ the drop of a hat
Use the noggin young Man.
I wonder if there is a mathematical formula to describe forums.
Are they all kinda like this, but in slightly different ways?
I believe Bjmacs fantastic four are all Celtic fans.
So is the same happy clappers, mineshafter formula evident in blogs about breastfeeding, bigfoot, burkas, and bathsalts?
I’m guessing yes.
I really hope we don’t sign Michael Owen….
…I really hope he hasn’t signed for someone yet, just to prove my point..
..which is..
..I’m sick of us signing players like the roy keane, hollywood keane and any other +33 as supposed ‘marquee’ signings…
save the money, invest it in youth development…theres only 2 players I would ever have back +33…
Larsson & Sutton..the rest are shoite and cost us money we cant afford to lose.
HH
Big G,
name calling, really.
“keep taking those pills buddy”
so your intellect somehow excuses you from what exactly, had you even attempted anything other than condecending evasion of my points, then maybe you might have had a reason for you bad manners, but you didnt, so suck it up clown.
If you want to debate, do it, dont throw crap and expect anything else back.
listening to the world football phone-in on bbc radio 5 live, the two experts were asked to name the best transfer from their respective regions, and Tim Vickery, who is based in Brazil, referred to Fedor (Miku). Interesting that he mentioned this player, without being prompted, ahead of the other players transferred across the EPL.
however he did give a description of the player, which worryingly sounded a lot like how some might describe Samaras. “Elegant, though languid style of play, that sometimes needs a kick up the backside…”
bjmac
Isnt there a word for rooms like that?

HH
canamalar
Debate what exactly?
your latest attack on the board?
When and if you link proof then I’ll debate it with you.

bjmac,
me and the bhoys will be in touch for a coffee
I was lucky enough to be with great CQN company tonight whilst listening to a Celtic Legend talk about other Celtic legends…. We are lucky to be so blessed with folk who want to do so much for others its humbling for me to sit with these people…..
CRC,MWD,TTTT mouldy Stevie etc you really are for old guys outstanding ….apologies for the 20000 ive missed .We have folk running this weekend others cycling. I cant admire you all enough
Big G,
so tou never even read the post then, is what your saying.
Did the board accept the Celtic symphony is an offensive song
AKBW1888
For all his thumping music and freaky friends, he is a good lhad. Studying some computer science thingy at university were he makes his own music….
to be honest, I cant wait for him to move out to give my ears a fecking rest lol
