There’s always a bit of reticence signing a player who has been away from his previous club for four months. Carlton Cole hasn’t played since starting West Ham’s final games of last season, and presumably has only trained in isolation since then.
Expectations of a quick return, should Celtic offer him a contract, have to be tempered with the realisation that he’ll be at least a month away from full fitness, but by then we will be set to face Molde away.
One aspect of our play that will concern Ronny Deila is that we’re short of attacking variation. The high ball forward to Samaras, so long our staple on the road in Europe, is not an option. This will be the reason why Carlton is training at Lennoxtown this week.
I’d expect a short-term deal to be concluded between now and January, to give both sides a chance to check out the fit.

In all the predictions on TRFC cash flow there are the unknown unknowns. Like is there any other money keeping the real business running?
http://blog.transparency.org/2015/09/18/football-needs-tough-anti-money-laundering-rules/
The case for tighter controls is unarguable. But would it kill our game?
Financial money matters already killed our game back in mid eighties (30 years ago)
& that’s a fact footy is not a sport anymore it’s a business simple as that

What’s your point?
*I’ve heard this statistic many times now during ‘the journey’*

Carlton Cole?
Mibeez aye, mibeez naw.

Aye Auldheid it’s in the land of maybe’s.
Carlton Cole also needs to understand that
1) he’s not being playing regular footy for a while so how long
will it take him to get up to speed.
2) he’s 31 years of age so he needs to get up to speed quickly
3) he’s playing in Scotland so his wages need a reality check
No League money that’s banked rolled by TV Money.
4) he also has the tag of other Club’s surplus too requirement
tag which he needs to prove wrong.
He should look @ the Hoops opportunity as a chance to get
his footy career back on track simple as that
Right I’m offski folks to watch the BBC Shameland’s comedy show aye right
if I would watch those shower of dodgy cheats being cheated rolled aye
they need the money because the Banks have already suffered with their
dodgy past dealings later’s folk’s & hail hail :-) :-)

Darnell played the full match in their 4-1 defeat of Hamilton and got the 1st half of their 2-1 defeat by Killie.
Not sure if he was injured or it was tactical but they were drawing 1-1 at half time.
Perhaps they were keeping him fresh for tonight? :)

Watched the last 10 minutes and it’s not a bad game. In fairness Sevco were in the ascendancy leading up to the goal and had a shout for a penalty which the Ref rightly ignored. A pulled back corner cracked brilliantly into the corner from edge of the box.
