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.

  1. Professor Green on

    Johny russell is no better than the quality we have in attacking areas. Not as good as Forrest, commons or Mcgeoch.

     

     

    He is also too similar to what we have. We need a different type of striker. Just my opinion!

  2. According to SSN Efe Ambrose who according to SSN is a midfield player is @ CP

     

    as we speak what happened to a CH?

    Ayrtim,

     

    where are you, hows about some quality info

  4. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    So why a bigger crash in ST sales after he left ?

     

     

    Down this year too after LENNY WON the SPL.

     

     

    Dissatisfaction at Board behaviour and competence. Can that dared be countenanced. I tell you what it fits in with the sale pattern

     

     

    Its their performance not the team or the manager that is even as pertinent as the economy.

     

     

    This years sales modeli with less ST now willing to be sold will further not endear them IMHO

    WGS blew 4iar. imo.

     

    League title decider at ibrokes and, WGS dropped McGeady and played, Maloney who hadn’t played a game all season. Twisted wee man. imo.

     

     

    But then again, the antics he got up to didn’t surprise me in the slightest. Anyone who seen him playing against us for Aberdeen would have seen the antics he got up to.

     

    You have to be a certain type of person to behave that way. Leopards and spots seem to be the words here.

     

     

    The titles that we won under WGS were, diluted for me because HE was the manager.

     

    Any person who knows their history will, if honest, remember WGS’s appointment being announced the same day as ‘black-sunday’ as, setting the tone for the rest of that day. Spooky would describe it for me.

     

     

    On reflection…WGS got the Celtic job because he was puppet. imo.

     

    A manager worth his salt would have been viewed by the bored as a- threat !!! imo.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    See your opinion ,I’d rate it just under Sally McCoist’s ,in my opinion.

    Awe_Naw\sftb,

     

    the board labelling the Celtic support no better than huns never helped either.
