No deal for Celtic and Roberts as both look elsewhere

884

After edging ever-closer to a deal for weeks, it looks certain Patrick Roberts will not be playing for Celtic next season. You are well-aware Celtic have been desperate to secure his permanent signing from Manchester City, but I have it on good authority that the club and player are now looking elsewhere.

Brendan Rodgers has both budget and ambition for the season ahead and Patrick was a big part of those plans, but the manager has now moved attention elsewhere (and I don’t mean to Aberdeen).

Patrick blossomed here, in particular during the second half of last season. He is an entertainer in the great Celtic tradition, but I have confidence in the manager to deliver what is required for the challenges ahead.

We wish Patrick all the best and thank him for a great 18 months.

    option 2

     

    1. mix with coke … .

     

    2. pour two glasses ….

     

    3. put Caleb Caudle on the stereo (Ghosts of Carolina, perhaps) …(see below) ..or maybe Kris Kristofferson, if you prefer

     

    4. turn the lights down low..

     

    5. hand one of the glasses to a lovely southern belle (named Daisy, or Scarlett or Charlotte, perhaps)…

    How come a transfer is always dead in the water and not just dead?

    You’ve just got to take it one transfer at a time.

  5. Just saw on Twitter that EKFCs new manager is, once of this parish, Billy Stark. One of my many Centenary season heroes.

     

     

    So a Carlsberg Friday after all though just a 330ml one…

    Your player exclusives are usually positive but you obviously trust your source.

     

     

    Patrick realised the potential Man City saw in him and we reaped the benefits of developing him under two managers, and his left peg is Nakaesque.

     

     

    You can take the bhoy out of Celtic, but you can’t take the Celtic out of the bhoy.

     

     

    Not giving up hope yet.

    While we’re on the subject, where is this ‘line’ clubs try to get transfers over? Is it the goal line? Is there a keeper in? Can you be offside? Is goal line technology used to decide if a deal is over the line or not?

     

     

    So many questions…..so few answers………

    My own pet hate is “one straight from the training ground’.

    My own pet hate is “one straight from the training ground’.

     

     

    As opposed to where, Asda car park?

     

    *******

     

     

    That one is understandable …. in a few years from now, kids (who are now Celtic fans) will talk ….

     

     

    Kid 1 : ‘my da was telling me stories about going to watch Rangers at Ibrox.. and going to see them at the training ground.”

     

     

    Kid 2: “Rangers? who’s that? Ibrox?’

     

     

    Kid 1: They were an old football team.. but they died a few years ago … tha’ts probably why you dont know their name …and their old training now used to be where the Asda store is now …

     

     

    see …easy mistake to make
