Forster move has hurdles to overcome

169

There has been a bit of chat this week about Fraser Forster making his loan move to Celtic permanent.  While there is a chance this could happen, there are hurdles.  Not least is Fraser’s Southampton contract, which is in excess of the £70k per week reported this week.

The keeper is the highest paid player at St Mary’s and will enter the final year of his contract in June.  On the positive side, Southampton have made it clear they are keen to get him off their books, but I would temper expectations that Fraser would write-off millions of salary to come to Celtic.

Celtic and Southampton have worked through several transfers in recent seasons, including the loan deal for Mohamed Elyounoussi, so there is a possibility an accommodation on Fraser’s deal could be part of a wider package.

The major unknown is where Southampton will play their football next season and who will be making squad selection decisions.  They are currently three points from safety in a Premier League relegation spot.  Relegation is likely to increase their appetite to offload players who could not get into the current squad.

    if it was jan 1st no crerand.he would turn up drunk.

     

     

    ps.garngad bhoy and no james edward.shame on you.

  3. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Jimmynotpaul , sorry for not replying sooner.

     

     

    That’s good news about Tony . His name might not go down to well with some Ayrshire junior football folk .

     

     

    I hope he does well. I gather he’s been going to as many of our games as possible during his break.

     

     

    There was an industrial tribunal (or a tribuneral as some call it) following his leaving of his last job .

  4. no chance that the 2nd rangers, well the first one called rangers international, are avoiding paying due taxes, because the 1st rangers did not pay their taxes, and they are being liquidsed, well apart from being able to sell somehow their honours to the 2nd rangers, well i mean sevco company, who , well. picked up an effective opearting membership from dundee (wtf) , at the request of the lefgue and sfa at the time, but that , well , makes it allright then,

     

     

    but i am sure they are up to date with their tax obligations,

     

     

    well

     

     

    now what about them there football payables due to other clubs for transfer fees ?

     

     

    well

  5. I hope they can fulfill all their fixtures this year, so we can win the 9 honestly.

     

     

    hahahhahahahah

  6. I reckon BR thought he had not much to gain and all to lose by staying.

     

    I think he was a bit scared of losing the league.

     

    I think BR pleaded with Leicester to ‘insist’ he joined before the end of the season.

     

     

    A lot of pash about BR being let down by PL.

     

    He sold Dembele when he didn’t have to.

     

    He refused to sell Boyatta.

     

    I believe that he advised John McGinn in a round-a-bout way to join AV.

     

     

    1 hour before Dembele made his CL debut for Lyon he got a text frim BR to wish him luck…

     

     

    Moussa’s reply was-

     

     

    ” Why are you messaging me?

     

    I am m not your friend.”

     

     

    I would still appoint BR if I could go back in time and I dare say so would PL and the players…. but guys that earn 3m a year ask about budgets and strategy before they sign contracts so spare me the cr, p he lefy cos of PL.

     

     

     

     

    too many Celtic fans who

  7. Read more about this on the Rangers Tax Case twitter account. Nothing new and predicted by him/her a long time ago

  8. Silver City 1888 on

    I thought it was announced a while ago that HMRC had ceased pursuing the damages. You’d think Rangers’ own accountants would have noticed if the taxman was chasing the whole gross amount paid and not simply the tax due on it. The story smells somewhat.

  9. A tax rebate for my died granny after her bank accounts have been closed and all she needs to do is contact them in person to collect it.

    2O odd million of 60 per million.

     

     

     

    Either way, they still stuffed HMRC for a fortune and wouldn’t have been able to pay it. They are still deid.

  11. Murdoch played right wing then inside right. Moved into his maestro position under Stein.

     

     

    Crerand was a great Celtic player. The circumstances of his move to ManU are unclear. But Matt Busby loved Paddy. Wanted him to succeed him.

    I see the Hong King demonstrators have started murdering people.

     

    In retaliation for Hong King police no murdering people

    Oh and it all comes full circle, people in Hong Kong must be allowed to commit crimes without fear of facing justice.

     

    The guy (from Hong Kong) who created the whole stramash murdered a Chinese woman in Taiwan, returned to Hong Kong to depend on no extradition.

     

    Just in case anyone was wondering what it’s all about and how it all started.

     

    As usual the US thought this was/is a worthy cause to support. And invest in destabilising.

     

    Only the locals will suffer just like all US ads to bring democracy.

    I will be Scraping the car again this morning.. Aaaaaggghhh 😢

     

     

    Let’s hope we see the Griff back after this tortuous international break. We could be doing with him, also getting a striker in on January.

    BIG JIMMY on 13TH NOVEMBER 2019 7:26 AM

     

     

    ……………………………..

     

     

    Cheers mate, you are correct in many ways.

     

    There are many Chumps/Nutters on the Internet, and rest assured, I would never try and take them ALL on ?

     

    Same applies to any Chump/nutter on CQN, but I can say that now, because I learned a very important lesson from being on CQN, especially in the last 6 months or more ?

     

     

    I think I have been Posting on CQN for maybe 3/4 years ( On and Off). During that time I have formed the opinion that there are MANY intelligent, bright, thoughtful, passionate ( about Celtic ), considerate etc etc Posters on here….and also good Celtic Men into the bargain ?

     

    I have conversed with many on here via posting…and also met several at some of The Hoots that I attended.

     

    It has largely been a Joy to be on here for numerous reasons, and putting “Faces” to names/monikers, when ever I did meet them.

     

     

    Being the Auld guy that I am now, and having been Employed in certain areas for many, many years, where I was DEALING with the PUBLIC, on a “Face to Face” level, AND also taking into account the many, many years spent in the Public Bar Saloons of Glasgow, I have “Prided” myself ( I suppose) in being a very Good judge of character, and I certainly became ” Street Wise”, in my dealings with the Public, Work Colleagues, other Drinkers etc, and as I say in the numerous Glasgow Bar Saloons that I have frequented…especially the Glasgow Bar Saloons that would have been MY “Locals” for periods of time, depending on where I may have been living ?

     

     

    Being an East End Bhoy has also helped.

     

    My point being, is that it saddened me to witness the ” Low Level” that certain “Posters” on here ( I wont name names again, as we largely KNOW who they were/are), who brought CQN down to that low level ( In MY Opinion), especially in maybe the last Two years or so .

     

    It bothered me ( still does), that certain Chump posters, were determined on a daily basis around the last Two years, to “Hijack” this otherwise excellent Celtic Blog, with their ” Utter Drivel, Tripe and Inane Chump Posts”.

     

    I should also add…that I am 100% GUILTY of Posting some Crap Jokes and Patter on here on occasions….too many occasions , I hear some cry !

     

    It was/is also great to read others opinions on Politics, Social Issues etc etc…some of which I maybe didnt agree with…but I still TRY to respect others opinions….until they go “way over the Top” LOL.

     

     

     

    I STILL hold to that opinion however, I have to say that I hold the vast majority of Posters on here, and those I have shared some Beers and Chat with, in the highest esteem. Especially those who continue to put a great deal of their Time and Money into following the Famous Glasgow Celtic…I was once in that bracket. In fact many years ago, I sat down one night and realised that I was actually spending MORE Money ( Three games a week) following and attending Celtic matches all over the Country…than my “Take Home Pay” was, at that particular time….so much for me being smart and street wise etc ” LOL ?

     

    Needless to say that apart from a Pie or Two at Celtic games…I wasnt spending too much on luxuries such as food at home, and being between Marriages…as it mostly went on Match tickets, Travel Costs, Celtic Shirts, Pies / Chips and PLENTY of Ale….obviously LOL !

     

    I for one, realised that drinking plenty of Beer helped me through the early 1990’s ( Before Fergus, Henrik, Jansen etc) watching and following Celtic at times !

     

    I dont think I was alone ?

     

    Anyway back to my point….What did Surprise and Sadden me in the last Two years or so on here, was whenever I did Post on here and make my feelings known in relation to certain “Number 1 Chump”, and his mindless, child like, inane ramblings etc…SOME on here defended that particular Chump, and I was sometimes berated by those same Posters.

     

    Its also fair to say, that some other posters, were in agreement with me…especially those who had good reason to argue and fall out with that very same Chump !

     

    MY surprise and disappointment arose from the fact that SOME of those Posters who berated me, where guys who I knew were intelligent, bright, very thoughtful, and Good Guys ( Judging by their excellent Posts/Opinions over a long period of time) on here, and maybe one or two that I had shared many Beers and Laughs with at a Hoot ?

     

    One or Two of those same Posters ALSO sought to Post “Half Truths and LIES ” about me on SC…I know this as I would sometimes lurk on SC in recent months, and read those ” Half truths and LIES” for myself !

     

     

    I suppose that I couldnt understand why an Eejit like ME, who could very quickly “Suss Out” certain Chumps ( One Chump …in particular), and those intelligent, bright Good Guys on here that I have earlier referred to… couldn’t or maybe WOULDN’T do likewise…after all The PROOF was there for ALL to read on a daily Basis ?

     

    I STILL cant get my head around that ?

     

    I KNOW who those posters were/are, and any respect that I once had for them has now gone..obviously, but I move on and I can certainly survive without THEMs and their mis guided opinions…and “Half truths and LIES” about me in particular.

     

    Cheers Rock Tree Bhoy, and again I sincerely apologise for this rather long Post.

     

    HH Mate.
