The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Victor Wanyama work permit granted.

Anybody know anything about this fella? I know he's a midfielder and Lennons plan is to play him as a centre back (he's 6ft 2"), but other then that
I've read his wiki page but that doesn't really say if he's any good of a player.

He's an unknown, so were Kayal and Izzy. Hopefully he's as good. Made his debut for Kenya at 15. Looks like he's built like a shithouse, hopefully we see a bit of him in pre-season.

Would agree the scouting system has been ok with Kayal, Izzy and Hooper being great finds.

is McGinn on his way out?

I'm hearing that himself, Cha, Paddy McCourt, Loovens and Forrest are all possible departures.

Only definates gone at the minute are Paul McGowan (undisclosed fee), Forster (loan ended) and Ben Hutchinson (released).

Not a chance will Forrest leave. Around 20 years old, good prospect, new contract signed not too long ago.
Also not a chance of Keane, Given or Bellamy. People need to realise we just can't compete with premiership wages. The highest wage we can afford to pay is around 25-30k, these lads are on at least 60. It doesn't add up, and I can't see Dermot Desmond making up the difference. Not for a whole season anyway. I'd love to be proved wrong.

Forrest will probably go out on loan.

Again, I'd doubt it. Very much part of the first team pcture.

Whilst I agree with you that he is a great prospect, since May 2010 he started in only 17 matches.
One for the future yes, a six month loan to a decent team would do him the world of good, we have loads of cover in midfield.

He was injured for a large part of last season. He'll stay as due to his pace he offers something different to Commons. Has a great delivery as well. Much better option than Maloney, who I wouldn't mind seeing leave due to his high wages and the fact he's made of glass.
McGinn off on loan to Brentford for the season, but signs a years extension. Strange one. I suppose if he impresses we'll get a fee at the end. I can't see him having a future at Celtic, if he had he'd only have went til Christmas or something.

Agree totally regarding Maloney (or the munchkin as a friend calls him).
If we got a few pound for McGinn I'd let him go as well.

Read that Victor Wanyama (great name for the terrace song writers  ) was suspended twice for 3 matches for bad tackle and on video evidence for an elbow in the face!! Will be interesting in the next Glasgow derby.

Solid performance today against Hibs. Zaluska has absolutely nothing to do in nets but did do the simple things well. Big Kelvin Wilson looks a class act. Love a centre back who can play a bit. Loovens was decent enough but i still don't feel safe if he is to become a regular. Ki and Kayal were outstanding in midfield. They do a lot of the dirty work while also controlling the game with wide ranging passing. Ki took his goal very well. Stokes also took his goal well but him and Hooper still a bit off the pace but they will regain that fitness with the upcoming friendlies. So, a good first performance and a lot of improvement to come. Bring it on!

2 point lead on Rangers and only 37 games to go.Surely we can't let it slip this time

Jesus that would be awful, that would be the worst one yet

Wilson was impressive, I thought Stokes was very good, his work of the ball was great. Hooper is definitely off the pace a bit. Commons was quiet by his standards, Scott Brown should be worried.

If I were Scott Brown I'd be more worried by the fact that the SPL has changed the rules on cards - now only 6 yellows = suspension! 
Good game and performance by the Hoops, but I think we have a hell of alot more in the tank (God I hope so) also wtf the "wasp" top is bloody awful.

To the tune of the Rhianna song.... "Wanyama, that's his name, Wanyama, that's his name, that's his name, that's his name..."

I thought the song "Free from desire" by Gala fitted quite well too.

Sports direct are doing great deals on Celtic tops, think the "wasp" top (just out) is retailing at £25! Could be wrong on that, but nearly sure I seen for that price in Yorkgate).

Not a bad price that. Will have to take a look next time i am up there

Looks like Mancini took a shine to the hoops during the Dublin super cup.

Mancini on the possibility of Bellamy going on loan to Celtic:

"If Celtic want Craig... he can go. Craig is a good striker and he can play at Celtic, because they're an important team."
