Celtic have NOT agreed a deal to take Patrick Roberts on loan next season. Sources within the club expressed surprise at reports claiming as much. The club have been working with Manchester City and the player for some months, in an attempt to secure the services of the England youth international.
A loan deal is only one of the options being discussed. But while Celtic look the most likely destination for Patrick, there is still work to be done.
Celtic, who will soon be able to offer guaranteed Champions League football to prospective players, are active in a number fronts.

Fanatic …
you are married to a lawyer? AND she is on a diet?!
scary!
if you need a couch to sleep on, just drop me a line…. solidarity, brother!
:)
Oli has it all.
It’s Friday it’s five to five it’s……………….
Paddy thought?
Left-field thinking on my part but lets assume City are reasonably happy with a return loan deal providing they don’t draw us in the CL Group Stages?
Paddy helped us deny City 4 points last year – Pep can’t afford the risk this year (he has to deliver in the CL or EPL).
UEFA don’t allow barring loan-deal players (ref: see Mo Bangura).
Armstrong 2 year deal is good for Brendan’s longterm plans. Oliver & Eboue need a decent season to bed-in – Rogic needs some work to last regular 90 minute starts & McGregor still needs some improvement. Decisions still have to be made about; Ajer, Benyu & Henderson – some game-time or loan deals?
Having Armstrong (mature, capable of playing in several positions) tied-down for 12 months makes good medium to longterm sense.
This Squad is developing into one of the best I can remember since ’67!
Hoping we are going for a permanent deal for Paddy….
Sneaking suspicion we are about to announce a signing that will make a mockery of the BBC/Sky’s “inside information”.
Give them nothing.
Time to chill and watch their sour coupons try to make head or tail of Brendan’s strategy.

GOOD.
VERY Good.

Liverpool turn down £118 Million bid for Coutinho from Barca!

I think this was suggested by someone in a previous post. Man City may be waiting until the CL draw is made, as they may not want to let us have Paddy if we end up in the same group.
A possible but unlikely scenario IMO.
Robert Snodgrass seen in …………………………………..
Coutinho might get on our bench
San Diego, Santiago.
Tom Tom is the key to C E L T I C winning the biggies.

Surely worth an article Paul.
Bruce Forsyth has passed away.
A fixture on Saturday night TV when I was a wean…before Jim Davidson tarnished my family name…
RIP Bruce
Bruce Forsyth RIP
Is any player worth hassle for a season’s loan.
With CL money for second successive year, we should be kicking on to signings on a more permanent basis.
RIP
Bruce
As Celtic have done in the past, City would have a not playing against us clause in any deal.
As I stated in previous post. Time to move on from loa deals.

We will do. Paddy may even be one of them.
Who would win in a fight between a drama queen and a bed wetter?

I reckon MC have been the stumbling block.
Who knows though.
ps … fan-a-tic … just a joke about lawyers and being married generally … no slight intended to your lady, and I hope none taken.
Nae dodgy banners for Uefa tae throw the book at the Cellic.
So, they jist add on another qualifying round !!!
Oh, and, Cellic should, thank Vidal Sassoon, sell him…..
then go for John McGinn. Or, NFL might jist, battle his way to the title !!!
Who’s PLC board were too busy, playing a few rounds oan the Masonic golf course, whilst, Dallas ‘secreted’ himself at Uefa ?
Aye…..
…..off-oot.

I hope the Celts meet Hapoel in the CL Group stages, respect to Astana for cleaning up their Act.
KEVJUNGLE,
Lenny will definitely get 2nd place. Likely to take away the unbeaten record too. :(
He is a Good one, as you know. A fighter. ;))

Hopefully we can get Mark McGhee in before Hibs dethrone us.
Wait, or was it Jackie Mac?
Paul Hartley???
Murdo McLean????????
Sorry, my memory of your bullsh!t opinions ain’t what it used to be.

Bad day when a club like ours, having Paddy Roberts our priority,surely we have other options,or is it all spin,
Hi Ghuys, Salve salve ;- Good times right now. Looking for a wee favour, does anyone have a link to extended highlights of Astana game? For the life of me I can’t find one.

=============
Eh
Paddy Roberts is the most entertaining player we’ve had for a long time, any deal that sees him in the hoops next season would do for me.
Him, moussa, griff and Sinclair in the same team wouldn’t be bad
Whatever happened to Timbhoy 2, I demand a JR..
I’m wondering if it’s a buy rather than a loan? For paddy
Timbhoy1,
Olivier looks to be a sensational signing, I know what you are saying. Paddy, IMO, wants to be @ CELTIC.
Brendan, Chris and JK obviously improve players.
MC obviously paid a lot for an English talent – and that bumps up the price straight away.
It says a lot that such an exciting Young English fitba player wants to play for C E L T I C.
Quonno,
As I understand it, UEFA don’t allow loan players to be contractually barred from CL or Europa fixtures against their parent club
That said, I would agree that loan deals are less than ideal.
The number of players that Man City and Chelsea have out on loan is a scandal – just shouldn’t be allowed – but that is another issue.
As I understand it, UEFA don’t allow loan players to be contractually barred from CL or Europa fixtures against their parent club
I thought that too?

Thought it was funny.
Hope your well.
