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.

    kevj..,

     

    again opinion does not equate to truth, bitterness clouds judgment and colours opinion.

     

    I know quite a few like you, in fact I know one of the geezers who attacked WGS when he played for aberdeen.

     

    When I ask why he hates him so much, he really has no idea why but still hates him, like you well balanced argument is a stranger, innit.

  10. Miku , Venezuelan-born striker who has played the last few seasons in the ranks of Getafe , was officially launched at Celtic . The front of 27 years counted for coach Luis Garcia and finally leaves for the Scottish Premier League. The player was left out of the squad of the meeting that the whole dispute in Mallard Riazor , which hinted at an exit that eventually occurred.

     

     

    Thus the South American player leaves the La Liga to play for one of the historic British football, after the disappearance of Glasgow Rangers , is the top candidate to become the next champion Scottish domestic title.

    I couldn’t stomach WGS because of the – insidious antics – he engaged in v’s us.

     

     

    P.S. Couldn’t stomach disny equate to hating . Not in my book.

     

    Let’s not over-dramatise someone’s point.

    For me Del Piero is a “gimmick” as far as Oz football is concerned. He doesn’t fit into Lenny’s plans I.M.O.

  14. So Bada Bing the new addition has pace and directness?

     

    I hope he is also direct in front of the opposition goal frame

     

    and put the ball in their net good luck to the tall big man I

     

    hope he turns out to be a very good acquisition time will

     

    tell on that front

  15. Scotland….sending kids to nuclear power plants…and we thought that kinda crap was over when we stopped them goin’ up chimneys….

     

    …..as W.C Fields said, ” Ah don’t mind children…..so long as you cook ’em well.”

    So…..John Daly….Apart From Being A Prolific Target Man…..

     

     

    Can Slot Into A Centre Back Position….

     

     

    With The Ease Of Costacurta…..

     

     

    Whenever It Is Required..

     

     

    Perhaps He Should Change His Name To Jon Van Dali…..?

     

     

     

    And He Would Be Snapped Up In An Instant
