The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

True hopefully he doesnt have to put up with the same shit but he needs to do himself a few favours as well, namely keep out of the limelight off the field and not get into any controversy on the field whether that be with mccoist, diouf, the refs or whoever.

He also needs to deliver on the field both domestically and in europe. Last years european performance was pathetic.

Wanyama is a good signing because i can`t see Kayal staying beyond next summer unfortunately. Do not know much about Damari but hopefully he can help Stokes and Hooper out with the goals. Could be useful as a target man in Europe as well

Celtic ready to walk away as Damari talks break down

CELTIC are prepared to walk away from the deal to sign £2m-rated Israeli international striker Omer Damari.

The Parkhead club secured the £900,000 signing of Kenyan Victor Wanyama yesterday and Herald Sport understands that the 20-year-old has been bought to play in central defence alongside new recruit Kelvin Wilson. However, while Celtic were able to do a deal with Wanyama's Belgian club, Germinal Beerschot, the same has not yet been true of their interest in Damari.

Not too sure about this. Great player but i wouldn't like to see the partnership of Stokes and Hooper broken up by someone who is quite injury prone

ForG I just can't see him coming as Celtic will never offer anywhere near what he's earning or would expect to earn and Bellemy won't take a two thirds paycut. The cynic in me is thinking that he's using this speculation to raise his profile and hoping it gets other clubs interested.

There's no way Celtic would be able to pay Bellamy's wages never mind a transfer fee,which is a pity because he's a quality player.

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).

Forever Green · July 06, 2011, 03:04:37 PM

Apparently the deal for Bellamy is Celtic are going to pay a fee(£2m?) to take him on a season long loan with City perhaps still paying half of his wages with the option of a permanent move.

Applesisapples · July 06, 2011, 03:19:16 PM

A lot of dough for a 31 year old injury prone player. No word on Keane or Given? Niall Maginn needs to return LOI or IL thats his level. Would be surprised if they let McCourt go he is a useful impact player, IMO.

Muzz · July 07, 2011, 11:54:54 PM

McGinn off for season long loan to Brentford!

Forever Green · July 07, 2011, 11:57:34 PM

Decent move for him. Still think he can be a good player at for us if he could regain his confidence. Hopefully this move will help him realise his potential

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.
