Celtic await ratification of Guidetti’s transfer by the SFA. The player travelled to Glasgow yesterday afternoon and quickly concluded a deal with Celtic, but it took until late in the evening before paperwork arrived from Manchester.
Aware of the delay, Celtic applied to the SFA for an extension. The SFA authorised the extension and subsequently received all relevant paperwork, Celtic believed they were over the line, but I understand we are in new territory with respect to extensions, so the SFA have asked Fifa for guidance.
Paperwork was submitted considerably before Manchester United completed the 2am signing of Radamel Falcao, so there is reason for hope, but it’s not clear in Glasgow what discretion the FA used to register Falcao. The same may or may not be available to the SFA.
There are also time constraints, player lists for Uefa group stage competitions need to be completed by 23:00 tonight, and we can’t add the player until Fifa issue guidance to the SFA.
If Celtic wanted a more complicated transfer than Guidetti they surely found it with our Serbian striker, Stefan Scepovic. Transfers involving influences across multiple countries are often difficult……
One thing Celtic are clear about is the endurance of the player, who had to sit through difficult hours in order to make the deal happen. He kept his nerve as others tried to sell him to Getafe – who were under no Financial Fair Play restrictions.
We’ll do a wrap-up of the window tomorrow.

Yes, I’ve wondered about that too.
Can’t help feeling that if we don’t sign him, PL won’t be upset.

Are you suggesting that people who once were voting no or unsure who suddenly start liking YES and sharing and liking articles are doing it for a laugh or just to be polite?
Somewhat different from a Newspaper with an agenda.

Sorry for the delay…
Now that, I can’t be sure about, I didn’t apply for a prospectus myself. Something in the dark recesses of my mind tell me it is 4 weeks after the launch date though.
Cheers mate,someone posted a link saying it was 11th September.I am back in Scotland at this time.Keeping my fingers crossed.Better to be nearer the despair of Admin.
I never got to see their faces last time.
Fair enough Pfayr , apology before I head off, it was condescending and unecessary, we all have our own reasoned thought. It would be really boring if we were all the same. I won’t lose sleep either way and I hope that is the same for both sets of the yes no vote.

The debate last night cleared up for anyone watching how much the yes campaign is based on the Sevco business model- “let’s see how it all pans out”

While on the other hand you detect the hand of economic genius and social justice aimed at creating a meritocratic society in the policies and actions of successful Westminster Govts?

An independent Scotland will join the queue.
I did not say Scotland would become Greece, I don’t have a cyrstal ball, though what’s to say it won’t become a bigger basket case after all Greece might not have the same calibre of finacial genius in its banks that Scotland recently had in theirs.
Remind me, who bailed out the Scottish banks… the UK taxpayer?
I invited you to read.
Celtic close to landing Guidetti on a year long loan.Celtic are confident the deal can be finalised today and are even more confident after Cleverlys move was sealed yesterday.H.H.
NEW ARTICLE….by me
The best run club in the universe currently sitting 5th in the SPFL fought to the last minute to secure a previously unheard of player from Man City. Then by a stroke of good firtune an original target who did not want to join us became available so we ditched the Guidetti ide and signed Stefan Scepovic.
This adds to the 4 amazing ‘try before you buy’ loan deals already secured by the world’s leading football CEO Peter Lawwell.
A few of the previous failures signed by Mr Lawwell were quickly dispatched to foreign climes.
Looking forward the Board are sattisfied that they will be able to lsell VVD in January for more than they were offered in this window… Great job CFC Board!!
All in all this has been an amazing window and is in line with the strategy.

Im pretty sure they will be pushing hard. There will be a lot more things going on behind the scenes we don’t know about. As it stands we have 3 strikers after letting everyone go so even though I’m not happy with the transfer dealings this was suppose to happen and they will be doing everything possible to get it through. In my opinion.

It’s going to be a no vote, most non nutters accept that.
The best the nats can hope for is a quick rerun of the referendum
The problem with that is that they’ve said the referendum is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The other problem they’ll face is that they’ve forecast a Domesday scenario if Scotland votes no.
When none of this happens (and it won’t) people will realise that the nats have been lying all along.
They’ll have no credibility.
Wait and see, but in the meantime keep on telling us how bad it’s going to be. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot.
Where can I buy one of these cyrstal balls that will validate the much vaunted ‘white paper’.
Politicians of all persuassions lie, that is their vocation.
How do the EU unemployment figures stack up?

All of which won’t affect you because you don’t live here
I live here,but I have property in Scotland,which at some point I will return to.I have children there,and a grandson,so your wee pathetic attempt at a jibe,is just that.Pathetic.
I see you dont disagree with any of it though.Maybe you were too busy trying and failing to be a smart @rse.

Aye as I said in January, thats close for PL. He does not like to rush into things.
Top of the morning to you all from a fair but dull Fife.
Believers in Machiavellianism might think that PL had a hand in the transfer/loan delay when it became clear that we had the Scepovic deal done and Guidetti then became an also ran.
Then again that theory would suggest that Ogilvie/Bryson and Co would expedite the Guidetti paperwork to assist in giving us more than we could afford!
When deals are done in a hurry eh?
Snake
No
There are folk who have been convinced
I know many other folk who are fed up with the Yes campaign and their tactics ….some are simply agreeing with the campaigners to get peace

That’s nothing. I missed the Thatcher economic miracle in the 80s.

Someone posted that idea last night.
I think it credits people with more organisational ability than is merited.
But maybe that’s just me, always seeing the best in folk.
Sound like a broken record but HOW can Tom Cleverley’s move and others be allowed HOURS after the window but our move is being blocked at the minute. Can’t allow some and not others.
HH
It’s been almost 400 seconds since we had a ‘whats happening wi guidetti’ post.
Is everyone Ok?
Turkey bhoy
Merely pointing out a very important aspect that should be considered when further considering your soap box style Yes campaign rants
You don’t live here ..fact
Another rude remark …pathetic …absolutely

I think that is true but the same goes for the Patronizing BT Lady telling you to eat your cereal.
Ernie,I will not debate this with your good self any longer.
As I said last week,on the 19th after the NO vote you can lead the victory parade,followed by,UKIP,The Orange Order,The Tory party,The National Front,50,000 orange and blue bedecked hun supporters waving their Butchers Aprons,a token brigade of Masons,and the massed pipes and drums of every Orange band on the planet.
“Better Together”.Yes,you are with them.
Happy voting.

I don’t have a vote either,and like you,intend returning home in the future.
I would vote No,so we can both balance each other out and leave the decision to those lucky enough to have a vote.
Including itinerant workers with no emotional attachment or planned long-term commitment to Scotland.
Good luck to young Bahrudin Atajić hope you get a good club.
Malonebhoy… sorry for joining in debate etc… some of that is pure and utter tosh. the bit I do know about in Oil and gas. Nonsense… and really liking Scotland to Yemen… jeepers!

Must have been. I thought it was just a figment of someone’s imagination,but I keep hearing about it.
