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.

Graham Spiers tweets that he has just completed a nice round of golf and he’s off out for another 18 holes shortly.
Yes, the transfer window deadline day is over-hyped, but something about this tells you how far Graham has fallen as an authoritative commentator on Scottish football.

Marvin Ogunjimi from Mallorca has arrived at Glasgow airport. Must be for usHow would that be in Glesgae speak Marvin “OH GOAN JIMMY”
What about “Jimmi O’Gun” ? Not a bad moniker for a striker.

Fans of the disturbingly bizarre are strongly recommended to see the Clint Eastwood ” speech ” at that Republican Convention thing .
Lu -lu land .
Met my elderly neighbor this morning ————- he asked ——– ” you see Clint Eastwood yesterday?” ——-I said yes and he added ——-” If those nutters get elected I’m emigrating to Mars “. ” Man those guys manage to make that Palin woman seem sane but maybe that’s their job ”
I agreed with him [ not about Mars though -I’m not sure that is far enough away to be safe ]
Checked on Twitter for latest tweets.
Neil says his phone is busy. So I haven’t bothered calling him.
Matt McGlone posted a picture of Ogunjimi, but not from Ross Hall or Lennoxtown.
So I guess I am either following the wrong Twits or I’m out of the loop.
Or both.

What about Marvin NoahunImaTimmy or would the apostrophe Nazis come a calling ?

Why do some people dismiss a signing target because they haven’t heard of him? There are thousands of clubs in Europe employing tens of thousands of players.
How many of us had heard of Lubo, Balde, Mjallby, Wanyama, Izzaguire etc?
If we get Russell, Stokes might get punted to Huddersfield.
we are after a GK too.
Re Ogunjimi.
Mallorca have signed Dos Santos from Spurs so would suggest that they could be ‘deck clearing’ themselves – one out one in.
Strike rate of 1 in 3 looks decent.
In Lenny we trust.

Helder Barbosa bid? We have knocked back a bid from Huddersfield for Stokes, it was less than £1Mn.
2 mill for JR is a steal.

The more I see and hear from Tony Watt the more impressed I become. Hopefully he can push on and hold down a regular place over this and next season and provide some much needed firepower and pressure on the current first choice strikers.

Agreed mate!
This was from the game the other night.

Man City signing the Befica striker?
Please please please, let the on loan striker be John Guidetti!

Sorry for the delay mate for some reason when I’m refreshing the server keeps logging me off. Maybe it’s a hint :-)
Are you suggesting that the suits at Parkhead were complicit in drawing up the new legislation?
Matt McGlone says PL playing poker with Dundee United.
Would he not be better at his desk answering calls from Neil?

Who is Apostrophe? Who does he play for and who abused him? Is he any good? Are we signing him?
=======================================
He plays for Brazilian outfit Vasco de Grama.
He is good in the air and usually plays just in front of Esses but has been effective when positioned between two consonants.
He suffered when a previous manager forced him to fit into positions for which he was not suited.
There is a question mark about his fitness unfortunately as his career has been punctuated with injuries.
We may be contracting him for a loan period.
AikiBhoy
Ogunjimi will be the on loan striker
JR would be good signing, hope it happens
Hail Hail

PL is obviously playing poker with Dundee Utd. We’ve offered £1.5m they want £2m. Utd are under pressure at the bank, who blinks before 12?

The only thing that spoiled his CL debut was the fact that Hooper couldnae get his heid on the ball to finish what would have been a fantastic goal. Hooper`s only downfall in my opinion, he sometimes gets lazy or does not read the game quick enough. Commons laid on a few the other night where Hopper should have been on the end of.

Deadline is 11pm for SPL – 5pm for playing this weekend
Hooper that is

Let’s do this another time preferably face to face over a pint.
I think it’s an interesting proposal but pure mad mental :-)
However, it’s transfer deadline day and I’m making buttons that we don’t sign players in the positions that I think need strengthened!!
