If you aggregate the nods, winks and rumours around Celtic this week you might be inclined to think we’re in the market for a target-man striker with a few years’ experience under his belt. I agree with the principle that we need a target man and I’m also of the view that short-term deals are not nearly as desirable as permanent contracts, but as we know, it’s too easy to load the club full of squad players who cumulatively cost a lot of money but scarcely trouble the first team.
Hooper, Stokes, Samaras, Bangura, Rasmussen and Murphy are all under contract for next season and we cannot be confident of attracting bids for any of those Neil Lennon might want to move on. If we add a seventh striker, his name better be on the team sheet before Gary Hooper’s. Signing an exotic version of Daryl Murphy would add spice to our week but would only consume scarce resources. I’d rather not.
Co-opting a media partner works in theory. It’s always better to have good relationships with the media than the kind of relationships Celtic perennially have, but what happens when your media partner plays with a straight bat?
Rangers media partner, STV, today report Nigerian trialist, Michael Uchebo, boarded a plane out of Glasgow a few hours after arriving (Michael, they have taken you away….) as the VVV-Venlo striker with 8 career goals to his name had “a poor first impression of” Rangers.
Michael, you clearly have a rubbish strike rate but you’re a remarkably perceptive individual.

In my mind, Hugh Keevins is the epitome of “lazy journalism”.
He’s never really had anything worthwhile to say since the end of the kelly/white board
He is most definitely comes from a celtic family, but he has sold his soul in an attempt to morph into filling the vacancy of Sanderson and McNee .
An irrelevance in the age of new media

its Friday night..
6 cider, 6 solpadol and now on the red wine…
You’re my kinda date. Step up the game a bit and go for Solpadeine, the codeine gives a lowkey mellow buzz along with the wine, and a headstart on your hangover in the morning.

Solpadol? I think I was given that as a pain-killer once after having had a tooth removed o:-)
Anyway, the article is worth a read and contains some classics but to make it easier for you, I have selected a small sample!
“By the age of 26, Whyte was already Scot land’s youngest self-made millionaire. Now, 13 years on, and in charge of a vast business empire, his wealth is off the radar.”
“Whyte is a venture capitalist who has made his millions from playing the markets – a skill he secret ly began honing in his third year at Glasgow’s Kelvinside Academy.”
“They had put together a package worth around £18m but this was flatly rejected and Ellis drove the price up when he agreed to pay Murray more than £30m.” (That statement is only 30 million % wrong!!)
” Now Whyte is bringing his money to the table but it remains to be seen if he will adopt the same scatter-cash approach as the man who has owned the club for the past two decades.” (Safe to say he has not brought that `scatter-cash` approach!)

I’m currently watching Harry Potter with the 2 minis.
Judas reminds me of Voldermort or as he’s referred to, “He who shall not be named”.

The good thing about it is both sides are working for you and it is not unusual to get 3 goals in a 10 or 15 minute spell in a game so you are usually still in with a shout for most of the match.
Gabon just scored, need another one 15 left
When any of life’s challenges or conundrums confront you………and you are unsure of how to proceed….
Ask yourself one thing…

Scottish media completely in the dark regarding Celtic’s next move. New striker will be signed – assurances given by board to manager.

Currently winding down with a large glass of the only decent export to come out of Tain, but have recently become a big fan of the Vino Tinto myself , could never cope with the heavier reds but a chance meeting with tesco’s finest value vino tinto has me converted, no so sure of the solpadine additions tho! :)
MWD
There may be some tic talkers among the group, but I’m hopeful I can use my abundant charm (aheemmmmm, cough cough) to get our partners along. I would have asked my wife by now, but she’s not speaking to me ;-)
