Whatever your opinions on the Celtic board are to get the windfall from VVD's transfer is good business, but back to football matters, how many are we putting past the Huns on Saturday, 3-0 my prediction, Griff 1st goal (if playing)

Main Street

Millions come into the club's coffers and no player is being lost. It doesn't get much better than that.

Targetman

Think there's a good chance Dembele will go in January, just by the way Rodgers was talking, hope I'm wrong

You'd wonder how long it takes to process a transaction like that to Celtics coffers?

Various sources suggesting different settlements, including installments over the length of the contract. Doesn't really matter as the money is coming our way no matter which way.

Southampton still get 67-odd million. Bound to inflate the market where they bid for players.

Exactly, and as good as gold in the bank in the unlikely event that the Celts need to borrow for any reason, say a stadium extension/upgrade. Sevco couldn't even get a pay day loan from Wonga such is the state of the Hun finances

Or centre-back upgrade.

Is this man worth the risk? Suppose he's free and give him a contract as "pay as you play"


CELTIC TARGET Steven Caulker has today been released from his QPR contract after talks between himself and the club.
Steven, who has had his off-field problems is very close with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and the Irishman spoke highly of the player back in July when Celtic were first interested.

🤝 Steven Caulker has left #QPR by mutual consent with immediate effect.

We wish him well for the future.

"We spoke at length about his life and his situation and just where he is at. He is a boy that if he can get it together and find a peace then he is an awesome talent." admitted Rodgers, "He is 6ft3ins, quick, strong, he can play. You would take him to war with you. He is unbelievable, both boxes, he is an incredible young footballer but he is suffering.
"Having had experience in trying to help him then I was only too happy to do that. At this stage there is nothing more than that.
"He is obviously a QPR player and I was only too happy to speak to him and help him try to shape his life."
QPR were still coy over the defender's future back in the summer and Celtic were put off from bidding for his services. He is now free to speak to anyone; we just wonder if Brendan will give him a call.

At the age of 25, he could be a fantastic asset to the club

You alluding to his serious gambling and alcohol addictions as well as the deep depressions that have affected his life?
They are but minor details in his personal history as he embarks on the redemptive path with brother Brendan as an inspiration overseer.
Steven is ready to be born again.

bannside

I know Brendan reasonably well and he is into using the benefits of his psychology qualification. Getting to the bottom of players "dips in form" and getting them back up and at it is one of his major strengths. Theres a whole story behind Scott Sinclair too going  back to his Chelsea reserves days, which Rodgers "sorted" and that partnership/trust has paid dividends since.

StGallsGAA

Some shocking shooting by Sinclair. He should have 2 at least.

Targetman

Dominating here should be 2 up, always a chance they'll score on the break

ned

We've been well off the pace for a few weeks. Usual mistakes at the back but should still be two up. Sinclair seems terrified!
