Profitable transfer fantasies

761

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.

  1. "THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM IN GLASGOW" aka "@67MOULDY67" on

    Hello team

     

     

    just after the Barcelona game a few of us took the pledge and took part in some events to support the 125 4 125 charity

     

     

    Since then our aim is two fold

     

     

    1. To promote the charity and engage with at least one other member of the global Celtic family to do the same

     

     

    2. raise some money “1.25” “12.50” “125.00” every bit counts

     

     

    With a few events still to come up,

     

     

    1888 mile cycle

     

    Climb of Ben Nevis

     

     

    We are hoping to maximise donations and would appreciate any donations towards 125 4 125 cause

    Thanks

    I have alway’s though KJ would be great for us especially after seeing him in a pre season game against us, but there is just something about him I dont like and im not sure what it is, if that makes sense.

  6. CowieBhoy, Bent, not for me, decent player, just don’t think he’d fit in, based on nothing but gut feeling. Jones, exact opposite, think he might fit right in, I think he’d be a big hit for us.

     

    Champions League might be the attraction, but would any of those type of players not disrupt the dressing room? We might not pay all their wages, but their pay check would dwarf every other players.

    Guys is there any truth in the report that tony stones has rejected a new deal ? Hail Hail

  8. We’re just finishing off the summer edition of CQN Magazine which is out on Friday lunchtime. Paul has a very special treat to post tomorrow lunchtime so we will keep the mag for Friday.

We also look at the Celtic Girls’ Academy for the first time, there’s a few great articles on Seville and much much more. it is also our best cover yet featuring Billy McNeill. We also reveal the three CQN Players of the Year Awards. As I said – CQN Magazine Summer Issue will be published Friday lunchtime.

  13. BT Its natural that you would feel down but count your blessings starting with family & friends. Then thank God that he made you a Tim. Then know that you will make a full recovery. Finally make a plan to use your enforced laid up period to good effect. If you ever thought of writing a book a perfect time to make a start. If nothing as grandiose as that if there are books you planned to read, some subject you planned to study, now is perfect time to start. If all my suggestions are tosh I won’t be offended if you tell me to Eff Off.

    Didn’t Stokes score two goals against Rennes, in a 3-1 win at Parkhead, a result that gave us a bit of a boost that season?

    I give you Jorge Cadete! :-))

     

     

    Interviewed on telly recently on Cup Final day he said that he had developed a programme to improve strikers. Maybe Jorge is the mhan we are looking for to identify forwards with potential.

  20. BT, would that wee back massager help ? Although no Oldtim to operate controls.

     

    Could pass on before hols

     

     

    Take care
