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.

    TET … sounds like a good day to jump in the pool/have a nice dinner in the shade…. funny, when we moved to Canada, I hated the cold… but, now, I am so used to it, I actually prefer it … I run about all winter in shorts … but once summer comes and it gets over 30 degrees, I struggle. I dont know that I could handle the heat like you guys have ….

     

     

    although there is nothing better than flying out of Toronto in a cold snowy february, and a few hours later, stepping out of a plane onto a hot caribbean island!

    Some other gems:

     

    Both teams want to win.

     

    That was a quality cross.

     

    If that had gone in it would have been a goal.

  3. I’m sorry we didn’t secure Paddy Roberts services for longer.

     

     

    He was great entertainment value in the last few months but had added finish to his trickery. I loved the trickery stuff.

     

     

    Whilst Hayes does not have the same trickery I think he will be equally as effective in finishing terms as Paddy, especially in Scotland where he has proved it against the best defence in the country, and less we forget, if we don’t do it in Scotland there is no Europe to test guys like Hayes at that level.

     

     

    I hope Paddy Roberts makes a great success of his footballing career and enjoys it half as much as he did playing for the great Glasgow Celtic where greatness is not measured in financial terms alone but in the values the support associate them with.

    So you are a Snowbird?

     

     

    That is the term my Bajan help gave guys like you before moving to Florida where even more Snowbird flocked in the winter.

    Auldheid … I wish! I could do with working here in the summer, and then spending the winters in the Caribbean! I’ll need to get the Doc to work a bit harder if I want to retire earlier! :)

    Hvala lijepa.

     

     

    Are you enrolling for my Croatian language course or looking up Google translate?!

     

     

    Hope all is well with you.

  19. wow just seen that callous cow of a PM absolutely skewered on BBC News. However, this full interview is only being shown now. It should have been shown in full much earlier in the evening.

     

     

    This is shaping up to be the biggest act of manslaughter since Hillsborough and sadly it looks like the death toll is going to be as high – if not higher.

    Dallas

     

     

    Thanks for heads up. Jacko is a lovely guy.

     

    Chris got released by Ross County. Marcus signed a one year extension. He was out of contract too. Hearing Burton are looking to sign Liam Boyce.

  21. !!Bada Bing!! on

    The death toll will never be known, given the type of property and occupants , good chance of flats being overcrowded IMO

  22. mike in toronto on

    Hrvatski.

     

     

    Went to school with Lots of Croatian. But that is the only word I remember.

     

     

    All quiet here. I hope all is good with you guys. Did you make the Lisbon trip?

     

     

    Speaking of Croatia, years ago, Liam was engaged to a Croatian friend of mine. But he ended up with Wendy. Off to Wendy’s 60 th birthday party tonight! Can’t believe how the years have flown by!

  23. Delaneys Dunky on

    The death toll will be 3 figures. The amount confirmed dead plus missing families in a crammed block.

     

    God rest their souls. Justice
