Final deck clearing for deadline day

1075

The day has arrived, 31 August, on a Champions League season, but news has been slow (in general) or there has been no news (at Celtic) so far.  Pity help those who were not busy this morning and have burned through a packed of antacids.  Deadline day reveals human nature in all its glory.

Last night Ipswich Town agreed a deal to take Daryl Murphy, whom they had on loan last season and the final six months of the previous season.  Daryl would have been keen to bring his Celtic uncertainty to an end (he is out of contract when this loan period at Ipswich expires) as he has clearly enjoyed more success in the English Championship.

We didn’t see the best of Daryl but it’s good news Celtic were prepared to release him.  He would surely have been retained if there was not a good chance of recruiting a replacement.  No promises, of course!

Stay tuned throughout the day.  If we have another ‘Robbie Keane Day’ when the CQN server takes a battering I’ll update the Facebook page and Twitter.

    Problem was, our goals had dried up. Naylor missed a good chance but we were more or less relying on a defender getting up and scoring from a free kick or corner.

  4. African Nations’ Cup or African Cup of Nations?

     

     

    That’s the important issue today – never mind the transfer window closing in just under 6 hours.

     

     

    Have we signed anyone yet!

     

     

    HH!!

  5. Re the Michael Owen rumour

     

    If it was black and white that he was going to Stoke etc, the deal would have been done by now.

     

    As long as he is a free agent , then we could be in the mix.

     

    Personally, I don’t think he is what we need in our dressing room.

     

    Our dressing room is typically 23 /24 years old , on the way up and earning decent money, but importantly the players haven’t yet reached their earning peak. Owen comes across as a nice guy, but his profile is the exact opposite of the rest of dressing room.

  6. A few targets are starting to fall by the wayside, priorities have changed with cash for Johnny Russell being increased and also taking Jon Daly, with Dylan McGeough going on loan. EPL defender possibly coming in on loan.

  7. Green said making signings on deadline day is like having babies at night in the dark???

     

     

    His wife said, how the hell would he know!

  8. Richard Gordon ‏@RichardGordon48

     

    Wow! All of a sudden it seems United might be losing Johnny Russell + Gary MacKay-Steven … or is it just transfer deadline night madness?

  9. Just dropped in to say…..

    Wonder how he would do in the hoops

    All kidding aside – If ye want to play keep-ball – Willo’s yer man. imo.

     

     

    Neil could get into his head and rearrange the wiring.

  10. The Battered Bunnet on

    “Sky Sports understands that Dundee United midfielder Gary Mackay-Steven is the subject of late interest from a unknown Championship club.”

     

     

    Presumably the same mob who were after Jelavic last year….

  11. Please let it be Kenwynn Jones if we sign a striker, was well impressed with him.

     

    But dont know his injury history if any but would have thought an EPL club would have been in for him.

     

    HAIL HAIL

  12. Kenwyn Jones would be a revelation in the hoops and would strike terror in the hearts and minds of opposition defences.

     

     

    what kind of wages will he be on at Stoke ?

  13. Ambrose is a done deal.

     

     

    Charles Geeen says the transfer window is like having babies lol.

    Dylan McGeough going on loan?! To make way for Jon Daly???!!!

     

     

    Never in a million years!

    Charles Green ‘we have a few things in the fire’

     

     

    dual contracts?

     

     

    Ha ha! I like that one!

  17. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    TBB,

     

    it doesnt help when people are phoning the ticket office to buy a season ticket only to be told they need to wait for the half season ticket issue.

     

    My young brother tried today and that was the answer he got.

  18. Just got home. To save me reading through pages of posts, could anyone tell me is there anything definite at all.

  19. We’d be better off with the other Jon Daly, wild thing, than the big lump of wood that plays for United.

     

    Dylan McGeouch going out on loan for a season would make sense, more game time and back to us next season ready to push for first team place

  20. Charles Green says he has a few things in the fire, like burning crosses and sacrificial offerings to Sauron

     

     

    Indio

  21. Serious asset stripping at Sevco – Bocanegra now Edu gone. Any quality they had last season has now left.

     

     

    Good news that Garcia has left Benfica.

  22. The Battered Bunnet on

    While the key people at Celtic are busy busy working the transfer tables, Bournesouprecipe is down at the Celtic Park car park checking out the wing mirrors.

  23. I would not want to lose Dylan McGeoch. He needs regular games but Celtic can provide that for him within our current squad rotation strategy.

     

     

    Give United one of our young defenders to develop instead
