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.

Now you say it, I think I knew that – but it’s late and the wine and stella are gone so it’s rum n coke time.
Like yer Dublin story, and the twist in the story in the father in law no liking the son in law chatting to a Tim – even better (worse ??) In Dublin.

Awful for them but in light of the conclusion of the recent enquiry, many of the families now want the mass organised demos which have taken place every year to stop.
I understand there are only small unofficial acts of remembrance taking place.

Zbyszek;
In that case mate a toast to you and yours!
Yes, I remember what you said on FB. And not one word of it has been proven anything but accurate in the last week or so. In fact, events have confirmed it over and over again. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, but I suspect people at Snake Mountain are now virtually resigned to not seeing this season out, so maybe there’s a feeling of “let’s go for broke” – literally in their case!
Hahaha. There is only one thing better than Celtic signing a player and that is Celtic signing a player that left the media clueless. The only thing better than that is Celtic going out an signing a player the media had already talked up to the nines because he was linked with Rangers. For just the sheer smile factor alone, this would be a fun deal to do.
Thanks for the info mate. Top man.
TTT
have it on my ipod.. love the clash and don;t mind aztec camera but dont tell embdy… o))

Saint Stivs,
Are these your guys?
fantastic.
well done the very people.
cheers,

I would be not surprised if people from Celtic and Brozek’s agent agreed to send fake signals to the media about Brozek going to them. I can’t belive these stories may happen in the media who sell their products.

I used to live in Brixton and drank in The Atlantic. Crazy place. Live music at weekends and the place would be jumping. Got intoa couple of dodgy situations but the Scottish accent helped to smooth things over.
