News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one. Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract. The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.
Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business. We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper. It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.
The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

Daily Record back page tomorrow:
‘Benevolent Rangers loan young superstars to aid Cowdenbeath and Morton.
Greedy Tims hoover up Man City reject.’
All this talk of the English football bubble bursting is pure fantasy, for the foreseeable future at least.
Sky has a bottomless pit of money to throw at them, as long as the customers keep buying the product, and that isn’t going to change any time soon.

Any mention in the press about several of their fans climbing onto the track after the goal?
In Dundee that’s usually referred to as a riot!!

Not the lad himself.

How can you keep so still under that traffic cone?
hun skelp…
What a thought… a million pound bargain!
I really, really hope we don’t sign Scepovic. He should be told to go and fry his arse.

A time travel machine will be required for anyone waiting for the next Celtic Rangers game. Perhaps Peter Capaldi could hire his out?

You make a good point but at least we will have him on a four year deal. If he scores like it says on the Tin I’ll be happy.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

If that happens I will be astounded of forehead and cognitively dissonated all at the same time!

Nothing from the DU site except…
Record season ticket sales.
Apparently the collective noun for a record number of ST sales is an…
ARMAGEDDON!
I hope our fax machine is working and the SFA are watching theirs.

That will be the ‘misunderstanding’
Sporting Gijon now saying Scepovic gone to Celtic
Sniff, sniff… There’s the whiff of embittered Hun in the air tonight…
Falcao to Manyoo….pffftt…..I remember Johan Cruyff almost signing for Dumbarton…
justafan:
That’s excellent news about their season ticket sales. Wasn’t aware of that.
Armageddon indeed.

I. Heard DU wanted McGeouch as part of deal. Then talk of Irvine plus A.N.Other. But Irvine off to Ross so looks less likely. Still trying to get Defender but latest I hear is that this is less likely.
Two Strikers though.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
!!Bada Bing!!
I hope he scores a barra load!!

the ghost of Jim Farry still haunts the corridors they do say………..Woooooooooooo
Sorry to intrude on matters exclusively Celtic but…from Dundee Utd:
SEASON TICKET RECORD SALES
August 31, 2014
Sales of Dundee United season tickets are now fast approaching 5600, breaking the Club’s record number of 5500 season tickets set in 2005.
Director Derek Robertson said, “This is hugely encouraging for the Club. I’d like to thank all of our season ticket holders for supporting us in such numbers and to all of our staff involved in promoting and handling these record season ticket sales.
“The increase in season ticket numbers has understandably had a corresponding impact on certain operational matters. For example, due to the number of season ticket seats in the George Fox Lower Stand, entry to that stand has to be by ticket only from now on. And I hope supporters understand that the supply of tickets for the derby at Dens will not be anything like enough to satisfy all of our season ticket holders and that many will be disappointed. However the fact that there’s a derby at Tannadice just a few days later should, hopefully, make up for this disappointment.”
Well I’m going to assume that if our club is in forgiving mood (and we don’t need to be with the Giudetti deal looking done) that there was a lot more to this than met the eye.
If my translation of that tweet from Spain is correct, he’s going to explain the “history” when he talks to the press tomorrow.
Should be interesting.
Two strikers in. Well, well, well.
