As always, it’s important to get the players you want, not end up with fourth or fifth choice, so on that measure, I’m happy Ronny Deila has secured a player he knows well. Jo Inge Berget is a wide attacking player, who will fit into the manager’s high-tempo, pressing, style of play.
The deal, a loan which gives Celtic the option to sign the player permanently if he’s successful, places incentives in the right places.
Enjoyed watching the cycling this week? Why don’t you sign up for the Paradise to Cardenden Cycle, which takes place on 6 September. Details here. You’ll enjoy it, and do great things for the Foundation.
Welcome to Celtic, Jo.

Weefra the snob

Loans are not ideal but they are better than nothing.
The buy option would be a get out clause for RD.
Could be a case that PL wants to see a bit of form before he signs the the cheque
The ghost of MAF must still give him a cold sweat.

Do you mind if I do a little “market test” given your regular match day attendance?
1. If it could be demonstrated to the non blogging support that the titles Rangers won in 1999 and 2003 were won using players paid by unlawful methods to pay them (irregular ebts) then would the support wish those titles removed?
2. If it could be demonstrated that Rangers concealed the unlawful ebts from the Lord Nimmo Smith enquiry (this misleading him) should those titles go to Celtic to serve justice?
3. Or is simply not something the wider support would care about even if they had the supporting evidence?
Jamesgang,
You get some belter comments on here !

James,
The opinion looks snobbish but I wouldn’t say weefra was a snob, I don’t know him, moreover his posts don’t usually convey such sentiments.
Weefra-JoeF- i enjoy conversing with you bhoys ,but if you look at how much we have generated in the last 2 seasons,excuse me but a GK who hasn’t played for over 2 years,a 6 month loan signing,and another psychiatrist does not fill
me with any great hope, or making the team any better.I hope the guys
come good,but IMO we deserve a bit better,as regards team
investment,and a decent chance of
CL football.I don’t think i am alone and it doesn’t make me any lesser a fan or a boo boy.Blind loyalty was meat and drink to the Whites &the Kellys.HH to you both

…Last week Ronny Deila told the press:- “Loan deals are a possibility but they are not ideal…
….Ronny Deila was dead against signing players on loan
=======================
Sorry, but “not ideal” is not the same as “dead against”, as I’m sure you well know.
As seanoc says, the deal here is a ‘try before you buy’ one – not a case of developing talent for another club.
I’m sure you realise that too.

Could you put up links to your CFC accounts documents?
Instead of loan deals shouldn´t we be offering the far more tax efficient and acceptable EBT deals ? where have we been these lat three years ?

I like Charlie at centre half but I don’t see Ronny tinkering with a back five that is pretty solid unless of course the dreaded EPL Vampires come north looking for a stopper!
Welcome to Celtic Jo
Think this is good business 6 months try before you buy with a prearranged transfer fee – what’s not to like given the millions we have spent on 3 strikers recently
Ronnie said loans are not ideal as you are developing another clubs player – not if you have an option to buy
Would love to see us sign Brede Hangerland if we got 2 years service from him our players would learn an immense amount from a great defender feel he is well worth the wages
Sorry I don’t see Biton as an enforcer in midfield and I would be disappointed if we tried to make him into one – kid is a fantastic footballer and a creator with an excellent football brain – tackling is not great tho
captain beefheart
Ok. Then how about a wee ‘sorry’ to the Mhan cos he’s a humble soul and as far from a snob as it’s possible to be.
Who knows, it might just spark an outbreak of consideration and manners on CQN!

Say he wants a wide player with pace and energy.
Forrest is out injured.
Boerittger is available.
The cost of the loan is minimal in relation to potential reward (the CL) .
What would you do? :)
Sorry for delay Bhoys, got caught up in something.

Don’t think that was me mate but if it was I must have got from the internet. On Aquino, no direct information on him. All I know for now is there are few things in the mix and we are trying to get a couple of things done, hopefully by next week. Nothing done until it is done.

Hope your right mate but money talks, if the offers are right PL will take it but we are holding the Aces.

Now I firmly believe Celtic should live within their means, but a blind man ( no disrespect to any blind people, my own Da included ) can see a major downsizing ( cost cutting) going on.
Why when we are not losing money ?
And we should be doing much much better with signings, if we had better in place, it would only take 1 or 2 decent players each season to keep us ticking along, hopefully supplemented with some youth coming through
Hail Hail
The Glorious Balance Sheet
With respect I think Ronnie’s comments were about loans where you work with a player, improve them and then the parent club picks up the benefit with “us” having no control over what happens next with that player.
With this deal, we have absolute control as to what happens next as either we exercise the buy clause ( in which case no one else can buy him and he becomes our player permanently at a pre agreed price ) or we don’t — in which case anyone else can come in after our interest has ended.
I think that is a strong position to be in.
I have met Weefra once at Celtic Park and I mean no disrespect to the man when I say that it is as plain as the nose on your face that he is as far removed from being a snob as I am from being from being from Vietnam — and I have never been to Vietnam!
Bada Bing. Did you see Craig Gordon in the first half of the friendly match he played in ? I thought he looked superb and if Forster goes we have a good replacement.If Forster stays Craig Gordon will keep him on his toes so in my opinion he was a good signing.Also we have not finished bringing in new players in this window but Rony believes everyone deserves a chance before he brings in new faces who must be better than what we already have keep the Faith Fella it will work out dont let the Negs wear you down.

I personally would prefer to see Charlie in there than Efe, big Mikael Lustig can also play CH, so we have options if any of the current – VVD or Efe had to be sold
Not saying they should be sold, but realistically a good offer ( above £10m )cannot be turned down ?

Taken direct from the published accounts at the time the article was written.
SeanOC, BigGeorges Fan Club,
I believe that Berget has played for Ronny Deila before. Ronny will therefore be familiar with the player`s capabilities so a 6 month loan deal with an option to buy is either:
a less than ringing endorsement on Ronny`s part, or;
the best that could be done with existing finances before our Champions League fate and income for this season is known.
Its just my opinion but I don`t think that you get the best out of players when they are on loan with their longer term future up in the air. We don`t have a good track record with this type of signing – Henri Camara, El Kaddouri, Brozek, Edson Braafheid, Diomansy Kamara etc
The only successful loan signing that I recall us converting to a full signing was Georgios Samaras.

In response to your qs.
1\ From a personal point of view and those close to me in the stand……. Yes
2/ Again, the reply would be ……Yes.
Don’t really know about /3.
Hope this helps, if only I knew why you asked me. :-)

How did you get on last week with Park and Ride ?

Mibbee it can be turned down. If we have to sell I want to screw every new Scottish groat out of the EPL bams!
£15m to start any bidding or PGTF.
And I stress I’d rather we didn’t sell any of the three of them.

==========
Auldheid – haven’t conversed before, but admire your knowledge and determined work on this.
From speaking to pals who don’t use social media / Celtic sites (a completely unscientific and probably unrepresentative sample, I grant you) I’d say:
1. Most would want titles stripped (humiliate the Buns factor)
2. Most would want the titles (see above)
3. A bit more difficult to say. If the evidence was conclusive, and accepted as such by the SFA (I know), and/or the judicial system (I know, I know), then 1. and 2. above would apply. If, however, the evidence was “only” from “a Celtic blogger” – no matter how cast-iron and conclusive that evidence was – then it would be too easily ignored (as has been the case ’till now).
It needs to be big and clear and illegal enough that it cannot be swept under the carpet or glossed over. Given what they have been able to gloss over so far, that’s difficult.
All of that said, you do, however, seem to have them boxed into a wee bit of a corner at the moment, though, which is VERY nice :-)))
Sorry for butting in.
