Austria captian marc janko has quit tranzsponsor(spelling) and celtic have been alerted to his availability. Should have been wearing the hoops years ago imo and has been qouted as saying he would walk to glasgow to sign for celtic. Not been as prolific past couple of years but really think he would be a great asset.
What do you guys think?
1.) I'd definitely have him at park head. He is something we are lacking atm so I think he could be perfect for the champions league, especially if we also sign Snodgrass
2.) 41 games + 9 goals in all competitions since January 2012?
3.) I'd welcome another international player, especially another captian of thier country.
It would be worth offering him a contract as he is a free, but no sell on value as he is in his final years. Would have loved him here four years ago!

Well with only a couple of hours to go it looks like we will be bringing in no new players on transfer deadline day.
Tbh its just a bunch of rubbish pushed by sky to sell their tv packages along with this "best league in the world" rubbish.
Deadline day died a few years ago.
I am a happy chappy here.
Moussa stays and we have signed a young midfielder with potential in eboue kouassi.
The team we have i have no doubt are on a run to special things and for the first time in a very long time i am confident in the sqaud going in to champs league qaulifiers.
Hail hail bhoys and ghirls

Agree hew it's just bollocks, that twat white loving the limelight no fur me
25 Aug 2016 09:24:37
I see the james mccarthy rumours have hit the papers. What is the likelihood of this happening He is highly rated down south and i would imagine with the inflated english premier league market he would cost a fair amount and wages would be well above our wage structure.
1.) 25 Aug 2016 09:49:43
Must be a loan of true, he'd probably take a huge cut in wages, but because he loves Celtic he'l do it, and he gets champions league. I'd be shocked if he did come, loads of teams down south like him.
24 Dec 2014 08:02:28
Am I the only one who.is not bothered if we don't sign guidetti. I feel he ain't that good and there is better options out there at a better price.
Guy is going to demand high wages and I think he is massivley over rated. Get one hard tackle in on him and that's the boy out the game because to me it seems like he dosent like to get stuck in about a game.
Who would you all like to see up front in the hoops?
Anyway happy holidays all
Have a good ane
1.) I wasn't convinced at the start either mate. Only prob is if he goes who are we left with. Stokes the spl level striker. Griffiths the impact player and scepovic the whole lot still to prove player. Hopefully we can sort a deal for j g. As for other options I will never understand why we didn't spend a million on stevie May. Perhaps the guy ciftci from Utd might be a shout.
2.) Your not the only one mate. JG is very overrated and brings little to the team. I honestly believe that if LG had the same amount of game time he would have scored just as much if not more goals. Our best striker has been kept on the bench but I think that is about to change.
3.) I'd like us to sign Kayode. Young, Quick and a much cheaper option looks to have more game about his and runs from midfield not just a box player
4.) Hew1888
How do we know Griffiths is only an impact striker? If he's given a chance, which I hope he will be, then he could well be a 90 minute striker. When he is only ever brought on as a sub then he's not going to show his true potential.
I really hope he gets a chance against Ross County. He deserves it and I hope he bags a brace to silence those who question his ability.
Hail Hail
5.) Sorry hew1888, my question was intended for garybhoy.
6.) I am very sure if he starts more he will score more and I am not doubting his ability Chris. But do you honestly think he is good enough to take us beyond inter or into the champs league next season.
7.) I rate Scepovic. Think there's a goalscorer in there. It's late December and he's started more Europa games han he has league games. that's bad for the lad and for the dynamics of the team. With Guidettis slump in form I hope he gets a run, not least because he's actually a Celtic player.
8.) Gary
I honestly do think he is good enough. He isn't going to challenge Lionel Messi for any awards but I do believe he's good enough for the level we're competing at, including Europa League.
If we fail against Inter then it probably won't be because of any one player (except maybe Ambrose, he has the ability to lose a game single handed!) but from the strikers we have at the club I'd personally say Griffiths is the best of them and he can prove it if the manager has a bit of faith and gives him a run of full games.
9.) I wouldn't expect the guy to beat inter himself it would take a massive team effort over 2 games but we would need the quality upfront to get through. Same with champ league we need a quality striker if we are to get to the group. And I don't think he is at that level. But hey if it turns out he is I will be just as happy as you mate. We shall see. Hope you have a nice Christmas mate and all the best to everyone on this site.
10.) Guidetti arrived and was instantly the golden eyed bhoy . It was hard luck, and applause if Guidetti missed .
The rest of our strikers were never treated in the same awe .
Either Griffiths or Sceptovic could be as good if given a run and same encouragement .
Of course if we can get Guidetti without breaking our signing or wage limit we should buy him.
11.) Perhaps our wage structure and sining policy need to be changed though Chris? I feel that's where we're falling short.
12.) 24 Dec 2014 13:34:59
Nice to see the fans sticking by a player when things aren't going so well.
If you remember the guy had hardly kicked a ball for 2 years before we signed him and I think at the start he was running on pure adrenalin.
I will also maintain my point that RD is pushing the squad too hard too quickly to achieve his desired fitness levels and when you do too much too soon the players aren't used to it so they become tired quicker as they aren't getting the proper rest required. That is when you pick up niggles and it is no surprise that we have had already had at least 15 players missing games with strains etc.
Like an earlier poster said if we pass up on him who are we likely to get in?
13.) Sorry I think JG is a good player for us I would not brake the wage structure to get him but if he falls in to that then I would be a happy Tim Scepovic I think he is quality if he can get the game time to prove In RD I trust so I will leave it until the January window closes to see what we have
14.) Same to you Gary mate, and everyone else who follows our Bhoys.
On the topic of Guidetti, remember he won't cost a fortune as far as a fee is concerned. It'll be the wages that are the real challenge for our club. I know he's going through a quiet spell in front of goal but e has talent for all to see. The thing is, so does Griffiths and Scepovic. They are all goalscorers, it's just a matter of getting the best from any of them.
Hail Hail and Ho Ho Merry Christmas everyone and please spare a thought for the families involved in the George Square disaster, as well as all those who are homeless, alone, in pain and in a worse position than most of us. Tragedy takes many forms and is the result of many things no-one can predict. Let's be grateful for whatever we have however little that might be. Amen
15.) JG is simply putting himself in the shop window. I can only see him signing for us if he has no better options. If a premiership team comes in even a bottom six he will sign for them in a flash. He reminds me of Craig Bellamy in the sense that he says a lot of great thinks about the fans etc, but doesn't sign!
{Ed007's Note - He can't negotiate with EPL teams in January though, STB.}
16.) Scepovic looks decent he's seems to have more pace about him now than I can remember when he started he does find good areas in the box but for now either he's trying too hard to impress or he's short of confidence as he was signed to be our new goalscorer and he's found himself playing second fiddle but like Griffiths needs a run of games in the team to prove he's good enough to be our main striker
17.) Jim Jim
I don't want to be seen as a Lecky boy for the board, but I would hope that if we are to up our wage structure and start operating at a loss we might run into difficulties long term . Our turn-over is not increasing and we could only contemplate breaking our wage structure for someone who will definitely help us. Signing a player who will "definitely "!help us is the big problem.
18.) 24 Dec 2014 21:09:19
I love the fact that ever time we contemplate paying a higher wage the good old argument about running into financial difficulties comes into it. Currently the crowds are poor because fans correctly won't pay their hard earned money to watch the dross currently calling themselves Celtic players. If we were to pay a bit more and got in a few players who got the fans excited then the stadium would be full every home game.
{Ed007's Note - (clap)
19.) We are still attracting more than our core standard attendance of the 90's .
Thee point of the board bringing in more quality would attract more fans, can be turned on its head by saying more fans paying more money would allow the board to bring in more players
The economic climate we live in has as much to do with dwindling supporters as the quality of football.
20.) 25 Dec 2014 21:23:37
Chris
I can't believe you are coming out with statements like that RE the money when you know for a fact that the season tickets are paid for but people can't be bothered going because the standard of player on show is so poor.
I want you to look at average attendances compared to transfer fees paid out for every season you will see that attendances have been consistent even when the club weren't spending. The issue is that every previous manager has had a decent amount to spend in their first season and then been starved of funds every other season. RD hasn't had his first season transfer kitty and fans are right to stay away as he isn't going to get any decent funds from now on.
21.) Season tickets may be paid for but last season and this season they were sold with a £100 discount . This year in particular the number of season tickets have decreased and so has the casual sales. Players at the same time are demanding more and more wages .
It's easy to lay the blame at the board for all Celtic's woes . I have to say that may be true, but also our fans can help the club, by more support and more encouragement to the players, instead of throwing the regular abuse at Ambrose and others .
28 Aug 2014 15:55:43
Really hope the fans buy into what delia is trying do do with the club. I like his philosophy and the footballing culture he is trying to install. Its going to take time for the sqaud to adapt amd when he brings i'm more players to fill positions in the formation he wants to play we will kick on. Kinda glad we didny make the champions league although the way we went out was dissapointing I feel a rum in the europa league will be good for the sqaud to prepare for a crack at the champs league next season. I ain't going to go on about lawell and the board. don't know what to make of what's going on upsatirs just here to show my support for delia.
1.) I know what your saying but someone made a point when I was talking to them yesterday. RD is a football philosopher like arsene wenger roberto martinez brendan rodgers etc. These guys all get players pkaying cracking football bit they don't win very much. With the giys we have we need a motivator to gee the lads up because there talent is limited.
06 Jun 2014 17:42:58
Hey ed was just wondering of you know of any top players from danny bhoys last club that we might be interested in?
{Ed007's Note - I don't know of anyone from Stromsgodset but I wouldn't mind seeing 23 y.o. CB Stefan Strandberg from Rosenborg coming in.}
1.) 07 Jun 2014 12:30:09
In today's s#n! They have a 15 year old wonder kid, already been scouted by bayern and man utd. Their fans seem to think ronny will come back for him . He see's ronny as a father figure! 5 first team appearances 1 goal. Youngest ever player to score in Norwegian league?
31 Jan 2017 10:20:51
We really don't need the money. Yes it will fill the coffers but this bhoy is a massive talent who seems to love wearing our hoops.
Is this what it has come to?
Fans wanting us to sell one of our best players because a team is supposedly willing to spend silly money.
Say we do sell him, that's the bhoy gone and we could spend all the 40mill on players who might not even live up to their price tag
23 Aug 2016 20:35:55
I would take that over any "marquee" signing.
17 Jul 2015 17:29:54
Done deal to Huddersfield
I like RD and given time I think he will be a success
If we could get him back up here I wouod be well happy.
These english lads are brought up believing the bpl is the be all and end all of the game and with it being world cup seaeson he believed he need to play in the bpl to have a chance of getting on that plane. I don't feel any animosity to the guy at all
It didny work out for him and he was unlucky not to get more game time.
If we were to get him back it woupd be a fantastic signing
After the likes of pukki derk and amido I think loans with option to buy are a great idea. a lot of teams are doing this now.
Dont understand why we have signed the boy from city purely on loan though. Would have liked a decent cb who would be here a few years.
Club has made some decent money the last few years and has spent a lot on transfers aswell. I am happy with the way we spend knowing the the club will have no financial problems for many many years.
We need to wake up and realise the money ain't there anymore. If you ain't a club in the top 5 leagues then the days of £6million pound players are gone
Boruc is a hardcore legia fan who is known to conduct the legia ultras in a sing song. Man is entitled to his opinion. I myself am embarrassed that we are through. Yup they broke the rules but a heavy fine should have been the punishment imo.
Still the holy goalie
He legendry status is imortal
I am hoping we bring in someone from abroad. Dutch or maybe german just to add something new to the style.
Big malky is the only one on the so called list that's being punted about the media that I would be excited about.
Dont get me wrong whoever comes in will get 100% backing from us all
Are we still going on about this guy folks. Not wanting to sound like a moaning git but give it a rest please
