Neil Lennon did us all a favour yesterday by dismissing rumours that he was targeting a striker from Vitoria Guimaraes as nonsense this early in the transfer window. The guidelines are set for your summer ahead. As well as being nonsense, though, it is also profitable news fodder; just think of the amount of advertising which has been wrapped around this story.
What does this teach us? I reckon that the least informed contributions left on the CQN comments page are about as reliable as what passes for mainstream ‘news’. There is a good possibility that even the player didn’t know Celtic’s position on him until it was reported yesterday.
Celtic will be trailing up to 30 players at any point in time, all of whom will have passed one level of scrutiny, but at least 20 of whom would never pass all levels, even if a deal was possible. When players are being scrutinised the position of the club will always be to show courteous interest in proceedings. You and I know what this really amounts to.

I agree.
We should try our best to hold on to Hooper and Stokes.
Stokes is maturing nicely.
If it is going to cost us a 1 or 2 million signing on fee, plus wages to replace Hooper.
We should just give that to Hooper to sign a new contract.
Regular goalscorers are the most difficult players to successfully mine.

CRC, fly off on hols Monday, will catch up on return
Hail Hail
just got my signed copy of heart of a lion thank you cqn hh
Tiny Tim – yes agree re forwards – though there are proven spl strikers available in Russell and Griffiths-though whether they can make the step up to CL standard is another matter- but hooper did it hh

Since Lenny took charge the strikers we have signed are:
Hooper – success
Stokes – success
Murphy – failure
Bangura – failure
Brozek – failure
Miku – failure
Lassad – failure
For all the (rightful) plaudits of our signing policy & successes in the last couple of years, we seem to have a problem when signing strikers with less than 30% being a success.
Bobo Balde is the chief executive of Bobo Balde.

I heard a wee rumour Rooney wants away from Manure.
Maybe he’s the marquee signing to replace Miku and Lassaad!
In Lenny and Parkie I trust
Johann Murdoch
I believe both Russell and Griffiths could do a job for us in the SPL.

Celtic wont be signing anyone this month. The transfer window is closed.

Neil is following in the footsteps of my favourite Western philosopher, Rowdie Yates;
“Move em out, move em in”
Estorilbhoy,
I googled it and came up with this, I’ve used The Whisky Exchange to check values before but couldn’t find it there
http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17243/lot/207/
I think in every window we have the same problem, getting players that didn’t work out off the wage bill, which seems to be harder than getting them in and where we are right now as a club I don’t see any point in bring in squad players, get the bag of magic beans filled right up and buy a couple of first team players, guys who will walk into or be challenging for first team places straight away..
Whitedog. Many thanks will give it a try.
ACGR – cheers mhate. You need to get in the queue :) I have suddenly become very popular in my household :))
celticmac
as long as we don’t end up wi a RAWHIDE.
I hope we get Balde.
I think he should never have been away in the first place!
I suppose we could blow all the CL money on a real top quality striker.
Flo springs to mind >}
Thank feck I’m no responsible.
I am reading back from start of new post and am at 13.48
Discussion about Kayal at Rugby Park. Totally agree with HT. I couldn’t believe what i was watching. Tried to get Lenny the sack. 3-0 down and 10 men. No chance we wouldve come back.

theoriginalsadiesbhoy-strange thing to say but i don’t know how Kayal didn’t get sent off just before half time v Killie that day.Don’t think NL has the same confidence in him now.

Thanks. Had googled that one also but not sure who could give me a true valuation. That one went for £54 but did not appear to be a limited edition and was only 10 year old.
I’ll keep trying.
Many thanks.

If the 6 mentioned earlier all go the only real deadwood left in the squad is Bangura, I know some might throw Kayal or Ambrose into that category but not me. Hold on to Hoops & Stokes and get big money for Vic and bring in 4 or 5 new lads plus promote the likes of Attajic & George to first team squad. Now we are ready to rumble.

Might try rubbing it on my knees :)) ( what a waste :)) )
Bt.
I was going to post on the i pad2 that i got yesterday as the kids are out, I’ve not got sausage fingers, just a bit unsure of what i’m doing. so on the phone again.
Some gadget from what I’ve used.
As i said last night, I’ve had operations on both my arms for nerve damage, which was causing muscle deterioration in my hands.
They are fine now.just do what the physio tells you and all will be back to normal.
Hail Hail.
Kayal33,
We also signed Watt.
ACGR, sorry , checked my email (including spam). can’t see anything -can you resend?
