I know what you’re thinking, let’s hope we get more exciting January signings like Pawel Brozek, Rabiu Ibrahim and Freddie Ljungberg.
It’s slightly unfair to mock our January transfer business. Kris Commons arrived two years ago and constituted a one man title challenge for a few months (and still delights). Georgios Samaras and Barry Robson arrived in 2008 and went a long way to ensuring the title came to Celtic. We went signing crazy in January (and 1st Feb) 2010 when Robbie Keane, Diomansy Kamara and soon-to-be World Cup final legend…. Edson Braafheid arrived. Robbie proved his class but it was all in vain, alas.
Most of our worries seem to be focussed on protecting those already in the squad. I’m not too concerned one way or another for the Juventus tie, which will take care of itself, but decisions made today will need to consider the Champions League qualifier challenges we will face in August. If we sell Gary Hooper today there is no guarantee we will be able to recruit his replacement until the final gasp of the August window.
So far this month we have addressed long-term strategy and short-term cover, if we do any more business I’d be happy with more of the same.
Contrary to career expectations 29-year-old Edson Braafheid is not now a delivery driver for Argos but he’s not playing a lot of football these days either.
If the server overheats later I’m on Twitter, @CQN, and I’ll do my best to figure out Facebook, CQN Magazine, too.

Will David Beckham seek the assistance of Joey Barton with the lingo?
Only reason i am speaking of the zombies is because i know they are lurking on here as we speak.

They just can’t keep away.

They always said they expected to conclude the investigation within the week. How long it takes the written report to appear is another matter.

Trying anything to avoid ssn – Just turned to live parliament – there are 11 mp’s in the chamber no doubt when a vote is taken it will be 300 for and 250 against – democracy in action
Best way to avoid ssn is give your children the remote and let them fight over cbeebies or Disney channel.

Remember him always trailing Mcnee in the usual STV haunts, an easily led individual.

Me too 16 roads, but this country would implode without somewhere fir them to vent their bile week in week out. Our club know its bigger than football, hence the silence through the whole mess and the ignoring of cg.

Rangers are of course trying to both have their jelly ice cream and eat it. They want to be the Schrodinger’s cat of football, simultaneously dead and alive. The difference is that when the box springs open and they are finally revealed to be either an Oldco or a Newco, then they go into denial: they want to be able to change from dead to alive and back again as it suits them (perhaps this is the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, but I suspect that they are simply in denial).
In fact, there is another similarity. Schrodinger’s cat was stuck in a box, and no-one on the outside the box could see if it was dead or alive. Rangers are stuck in division 3 and no one outside division 3 cares whether they are dead or alive.
Could be another damp squib of a transfer window.
Gene,
That was corny :))

Going to have to google Schrodinger.
Sorry
Zombies is unfair, its a slight on the great TV show The Walking Dead, Funny don’t know many Sevcoians that watch it.lol must be something deep down. ; ) like watching family.

Normally when the jury is out for a while it’s a good sign
for the defendant.
Be glad when window closes dont expect much in(but hope to be happily suprised) but sure dont want any out.
The huns are irrelevant,reality must be booting their door in today. :))
Never liked Beckham, always thought he was over rated. Watching his press conference from Paris & he has just said he is giving his 5months salary to local childrens charity. What a gesture, no matter how much money he may have.
kevinlasvegas
Excuse me for asking this but are you Pat B’s pal?
HH!!
Louis Saha released by Sunderland, good signing for someone.
HH
No doubt if LNS has found against them they will come out fighting, and I do mean literally!!!!
Hat off to David Beckam, Salary straight to children’s charity. Top man, Well done David.

Well done Beckham………never thought I would post that.
