Celtic 2012/2013 season discussion thread

The lad on the HB who broke the news about El Kaddouri and was reliable on Kayal and Hooper is now saying that weā€™re in for Berra, Kenwyne Jones and someone else.

I actually donā€™t think Berra is a bad defender and thought we should have signed him a while back. Heā€™s fierce slow though and hardly the quality Iā€™d hope weā€™d be looking for.

Berra - a ā€˜noā€™ for me.
Jones - a ā€˜yesā€™ for me.

Berra is atrocious. Jones will probably be a loan signing and I donā€™t want me a loan signing. If I ever meet Lawwell I will ring his neck.

Scott Brown took another injection for his ongoing hip problem to get him through last nightā€™s game. Heā€™s now out for another 2-3 weeks and is seeing a specialist about it in the coming days. Samaras will also miss this weekendā€™s top of the table clash with Hibs with a back injury.

We have turned down a Ā£6m bid from QPR for Wanyama according to TWITTER.

What other sites are you using to follow the last day of the transfer window, bhoys?

Just TFK for me, Bandage. I get very agressive when I go onto Kerrydale Street and read a load of poofs postings words like shampoo and shampooie and their inane and bland quips. Iā€™m canā€™t access the other Celtic sites due to not being a member or being banned.

Iā€™ll be mainly using twitter and thefreekick.com tomorrow.

I see KDS are suggesting weā€™re close to signing Efe Ambrose. One of the more hopeful-seeming targets that weā€™ve been linked with. I think itā€™s apparent weā€™re not going to be getting any big names in, Iā€™m just concerned weā€™ll end up with Humphrey and that lad from Southend.

I will also be using STVā€™s transfer deadline updated feed as well today:

Iā€™d also like to confirm that I am likely to have a breakdown if we make a signing in the mould of Pavel Brozek last season.

Wily Boly closely linked to signing for Fiorentina now.

This is worrying.

Luke Shanley of Sky Sports claims we are ā€˜likelyā€™ to sign Efe Ambrose and it is hoped he will be one of three signings.

It looks like Del Piero is signing for Sydney.

Lustig is being linked with a depature to Bolton. Could we go from having 4 right backs last season (Matthews, Lustig, Cha, Wilson) to one?

Nothing else to report. Iā€™m predicting Efe Ambrose, Kenwyne Jones (loan) and random SPL arrival (hopefully not Chris Humphrey).

Helder Barbosa linked. No to Portuguese.

Iā€™m seething. Weā€™ve had the whole summer to target a striker and we look link putting some lone deal together for a misfit. I absolutely despise that utter cunt Lawwell, heā€™s a son of a whore.

Belgian international striker Marvin Ogunjimi is Celtic bound. Loan deal from Mallorca.

:rolleyes:

FFS. Totally underwhelmed.

Actually looks decent enough (video below) and the type of player we need, but a loan signing - are you serious?

Ambrose, Ogunjimi and Russell would satisfy me for this window. Russell is versatile as he could play on the left wing for us as well.

STV have confirmed weā€™ve made a bid for Helder Barbosa. Heā€™s a left winger I understand, does anyone know if he played for Braga in their qualifiers and if that therefore makes him ineligible for the CL?

Bandage, whatā€™s your source on the Belgian lad? Iā€™m hoping for four signings. Anything under three is a disappointment and a disgrace.

Rules were changed this season: Helder Barbosa would be eligible to play for us in the Champions League.

I have concerns about the Belgian. My source in the low lying countries claims heā€™s embraced ā€˜fameā€™ and has displayed a poor attitude since he ā€˜made itā€™. Has the attributes to be successful if he wants to be and recaptures his Genk form.

The manager has tweeted: ā€œThere is a lot of panic on here todayā€¦deep breaths.ā€

Iā€™m absolutely furious. Weā€™re being strung along.

Any farmers on here want to loan me a pitchfork?

Efe Ambrose in the house!
