News that Fraser Forster has signed a long term contract with Celtic, who will pay Newcastle United £2m for his services, adds some welcome stability ahead of the Champions League qualifiers. Buying a new, first-choice, keeper is fraught with the kind of difficulties Neil Lennon would rather avoid.
Last summer we looked at Croatian international Stipe Pletikosa, who performed at the European Championships, but he failed to impress during his trial period at Celtic, including a poor performance against Wolves at Celtic Park.
Last year we also looked at Polish cap, Gregorz Sandomierski, who subsequently went to Belgian club racing Genk for €3m, but he failed to make a competitive appearance for Genk and was shipped back to Poland on loan. By comparison, Forster, who turned 24 on St Patrick’s Day, cemented his place with the champions.
Last year Celtic concluded a provisional deal with Newcastle to sign Fraser on a permanent deal this summer but although player and club were both keen to do business, negotiations took until the end of the players’ summer break, perhaps reflecting a tightening of Celtic’s finances ahead of what could be a period of financial uncertainty in the Scottish game.

Green reckons that players moving to Norwich are doing it for money and not career advancement.
“if they want to play in Europe they would stay with Rangers. We will play in Europe before Norwich do”
Haha the game v Le Havre has been cancelled.

Rankers were eliminated by Maribor and Malmo in last seasons European competition’s hardly career advancement
Whittaker has signed a four deal at Norwich i would not be surprised if he pockets around 3 million for his four year deal
A business man talking this amount of verbal shift, no wonder the ibroke hoards are worried
lionroard67,

A lot of shifty characters on CQN currently

I think it could be a few things.
Low batteries
A dusty or blocked infra red wireless mouse receiver.
An application that is sucking the cpu
A device that is unecessarily creating too many interrupts. Poor Wifi, loose connection etc.
I’ve been listening to the ‘news’ (radio propaganda) and I’m amazed ( not really ) that our Clagerron ConDems are gonna smother The Big Bank Financial Doping Scandal by committees (a camel being a horse designed by committee) and it’s all so pertinent to the financial shenanigans of rotten f.c.(dead) and their absolute lack of contrition and their complete intransigence when it comes to financial redress for their victims, and the way they think that some horrorshow reincarnation will just steam on with no regret,no shame and plenty of arrogant entitlement. They make me sick to my stomach,literally.
Think of the scale of their rip-off. Had they been paying up like everbody else has to,then there wouldn’t be people scrambling around for life-saving medication. That’s one single effect of their shameless greed.
(The whole set up in UKplc is based on get-rich-quick schemes,voodoo economics,wherein the only crime is ‘getting caught’.)
Well they have been caught,and they need to pay up. Assets gone,stadium sold,to pay what they owe. But is that going to happen. No. Why?
Because they are ‘the chosen ones’,propped up in their insanity by their corpulently vacant Jabba and his ilk.
Shame on them. Shame on Scotland for allowing this to continue for even one more day.
The interest payments alone on what they owe could be saving lives as we speak.
Well done, MurderInc. F.C. and every single scumbag associated with you.
MWD,
cheers, will try that now
what we need is liquidation before any newco is granted SFA membership, then there is no doubt that the hun is truly dead
Canamalar,
Get a keyboard with a shorter cable.
Canamalar , try this

alternatively press 5 times or hold right for 8 secs.
Then turn round 3 times , click your heels and say
“There’s no place like home”

Headbutting a keyboard will improve its performance no end. Blowtorching it will make the keys flow under your fingers.
What’s the point?
Who cares?
I know! I know! Canamalar.
Get angry at someone.
That way you’ll punch the keys harder speeding up a strengthening the signal from your keyboard to your CPU and Basic I/O.
You might find to that if you type in binary (base-2) you’ll find that speeds things up enormously.
Or you could try punch cards.
MWD
Awe_Naw…,
virulent spyware my personal favorite :o(
Many of us have lived too long to make light of what is actually happening.
Please enjoy these times in the way that your grandfather/ grandmother would have done.
We have deserved EVERY SECOND of their shameful demise.
We paid for it with generations of undeserved & inexplicable humiliation.
Our day is NOW.
