Relentless pillage of transfer stories wearisome

802
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

News (confirmed by his club) that our next Champions League opponents Juventus have opened negotiations with Athletic Blibao striker Fernando Llorente, ahead of a possible free-transfer move in the summer, appears to put recent fantasy stories about Gary Hooper supposedly moving to Turin in the correct context.  Liverpool, who several newspapers also ‘reported’ were interested in Hooper, signed a different striker this week.

The relentless pillage of Celtic player’s names used to sell newspapers is wearisome, probably more so to those at the club hoping to convince Hooper, and Victor Wanyama, to sign new contracts.  Chances of re-signing Hooper if he thinks Juventus and Liverpool are about to bid for him: 0%. Chances if it’s relegation battlers from England: considerably higher. I see a new front has been opened today on Beram. We have to ensure another 28 days of this nonsense.

Llorente is a current Spanish international and played a huge part in Atheltic’s march to the Europa League final last season, but I would not be too concerned if Juventus tried to secure him this month.  Moving to Turin is notoriously challenging for strikers and Llorente has never been based outside of the Basque country.

    Career ender there from the Hearts lad. No card from Collum, incredible. In another league that might have been a season-long ban.

     

     

    Hearts fans on the touchline show they are the true inheritor of the Huns’ mantle of the frothing, baying, ugly, mob…

    BSR- Wee Chico still convinced McGowan will eventually crawl across the Gobi desert just to sign for TheRangers.

     

     

    How many hints does he need?

    The Hibs goal was offside, – then they went 11 behind the ball – simples.

     

     

    The ESPN camera angle was amateurish, and there was no in line shot when the ball was played,no mention, never mind in depth analysis, or even Sky type technology.

     

     

    Watch Kelvin Wilson and others put hands up appealing for offside.

    So so far Oor Wullie has missed a stonewall penalty (for Hearts so glad he did) and a straight red (off the ground flying lunge) by Hearts’ Stevenson.

    evening , the Edinburgh derby is brutal , agree collum is upto his usual standard , missing a penalty and a sending off. top UEFA offical he is not, hoping football breaks out in the second half.

     

     

    Looking back on yesterdays game , should have been out of site by HT, think we are missing Stokes , he scored his fair share of goals and provided Hooper with plenty of assists.

     

     

    not much too add on McLean , never a penalty and his performance before and after was poor, too many HONEST mistakes !!!!

    Two little huns had two little toys

     

    Each had a luvin cup

     

    Gaily they played each summers day

     

    Retarded both of course.

     

    One little chap then had a mishap

     

    Broke his wee luvin cup

     

    Wept for his toy, then cried with joy

     

    As his young hun mate said:

     

     

    Did you think I would leave you crying

     

    When there’s crap in my cup for two

     

    Cmon here, Chuck and don’t be crying

     

    We can sup just as fast as two

     

    When we grow up we’ll both be ri-o-ters

     

    And we wont be using toys

     

    And I wonder if we’ll remember when we were

     

    Two little huns.
