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.

STVSport: Celtic in for trio of new signings: Celtic plan for busy deadline day with three players close to agreeing deals. http://bit.ly/codiJ1

Stolen from Twitter:

MWD says AYE
Is today the day when Sally gets to unleash his war chest ?
Not booing the team, but encouraging (supporting) them on the park, is like a new signing …… !!!!!!!!!

Paul Dixon, Stuart Armstrong and a striker would at least salvage something from this window.
Heads to roll once window closes.

Naw, all the pies would fall out ….hahahahahahaha
So what are our current striking options, Stokes and Griffiths, is that it? Whilst im glad that the deadwood, well some of it anyway, are away, are we the only team, apart from Blackpool, that will get rid of players, albeit players that “didnt work out”, before getting them in.
Who ever is in charge of our transfer policy should be punted
One or two trolls on here today…….bless them ….!!!!
Edson Braafeid signed for Celtic on deadline day 2010.

It’s not even that mate, there’s an even bigger worry here.
Celtic is in my DNA. My whole family has a genetic predisposition towards the club and the culture and I’ve grown up with it in my life.
We’re already in danger of losing the next generation of fans to the EPL. How the Hell are we going to convince THEM that this thing of ours is special and means something if even the people inside the club see it as little more than a business?
Hope has to be kept alive. Something has to reignite that passion.
————————————————————————————————-
The next generation of fans will be there because their family take them along to the games. Nothing to do with DNA. I’m not sure if you have been blessed with kids yet James, but if you have then I guess the’ll know nothing much about going to Celtic Park since their oul da doesn’t go. Your impassionsed language – “How the hell are we going to convine them…etc…etc…”, is in stark contrast to your actions. It all sounds very hollow to me when you say “…this thing of ours is special and means something”. It sounds to me like you’re…well…not very worried at all about the next generation.
Re: the DNA comment – yeah – I know you were speaking figuratively.

What about El Khaddouri?
Rasberry, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Was just trying to convince myself that Ciftci would do and you sideswipe with that………
All our strikers don’t play that Balde, some say they are Pukkin pash but I’m Stoked wae them and wish yeez would Leigh them alone.
Happy as an Israeli stealing land in Palastine.

I see.
So the Scots should just pretend to be Irish then?
Won’t be any signing we Wil be going with what we have. Euro campaign with this squad.
Ref Upper Tier closure in cup matches
Why can’t we sell these games out?
Team needs us just now and all we do is complain. We have good times and bad times but we should all get behind the team and show why we are the worlds best supporters.
I don’t want to see the jam tarts have a better and louder support than us in a couple of weeks.

He was 2011’s star signing ;_)
Moonbeams,
T. watt.
NatKnow:
Yeah that’s why I write so much on this subject, why I sweat days like today, why I put so much time and effort and emotion into this.
Cause I’m not really that worried.
I am sure you believe what you just wrote, even if you don’t believe what I did.
I won’t even attempt to convince you otherwise. You are entitled to your view.
Raspberry -hope you’re joking pal

Send her over. Thanks luv.

Heads should roll but only if the absent major shareholder agrees, that is the problem and will continue to be so until he takes an inteerst rather than looking at a balance sheet.
It is a source of comment on these and on the the pages of philmacgiollabain[sp] , about the cost of Murray Park, what has Lennoxtown and the assorted support services cost Celtic and where is the benefit ?
Liked this one:

Does anyone think we have a policy about not signing players now from other Scottish teams so we do not weaken them?
*thought that for a bit but it seems that players we are allegedly interested in go elsewhere.
Moonbeams,
She’s in Belgium noo so doesn’t count :)
Lubos Kamenar
Tontine Tim. How would we weaken them anymore than them selling then to other countries ? H.H.
I think it’s a great idea to close the upper teir.
Been years since I stood on the roof watching a the gem.
Absolutely brilliant policy. I commend the business on this outstanding once in a lifetime (if you’ve never did it before) opportunity.
I love them – the business.

Max oberschmidt? Jan transfer window mind!
August was a poor month by even the standards of our worst managers
A repeat of that in September would be unthinkable
10 hours to go and the word is “dont panic”
Mr Mainwaring, I think I’m panicking!
