Doohan played for Ross county against Celtic so he could be off on loan, looks like it's Barkas,Bain and Hazard for the season ahead. A lot of dosh for a keeper if reports are true can't see us spending any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Theres no danger were paying a couple of million for a keeper then a load of money towards Forsters wages. Wouldn’t even happen outwith Covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows the club, knows the country so would settle easy, relationship with defence already etc. You will just have to trust Hammond on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have loved him back but it was always going to be difficult.This guy is only 26 so young for a keeper and already has decent experience so hopefully he'll settle in quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you could find any Celtic fan not wanting the wall back, the transfer fee wasn't the problem and there was no way Celtic where going to break their wage structure. Barkas is an international goalkeeper on a permanent deal that's better than getting big Forster on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anything about Barkas so can’t comment on if he’ll be better for you than Forster. I was impressed with Forster last season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd definitely still do a job up here. That'd be a shrewd signing, especially on a free. And then hopefully at least one of him and Griffiths gets enough game time ahead of the Internationals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Can see a championship club offering better and/or longer terms than us for Fletcher. Would be happy to get him myself, we would struggle to find a more established striker content with being second fiddle. I have no idea why Celtic fans are turning their nose up at him.

Drew Brees Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Celtic in talks with Lyle Taylor, mere weeks after being branded hopeless by Celtic fans after he was linked with Rangers. Sutton also came out and stated he was a traitor... I wonder if his view will soon change I’ll believe it when I see it. Celtic aren't telling SSN this ...... so who is ? Taylor's agent? This type of feeding stories to a desperate media trying to raise the profile of a player on an agents books is an old trick.Don't know about this specific case , but I've heard Lawwell state before that he reads all sorts about us being interested in players that they've never considered or heard of. This better be the case here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why Celtic fans are turning their nose up at him.Your fanbase have turned into spoiled brats in recent seasons and have become very entitled. Very similar to Rangers fans during the 90s. Not every Celtic fan but they are very noticable on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Papers going with the story that Celtic are after Bayern number 2 - Sven Ulreich. Lennon discovered that his new keeper is a dud or something? He'd command a huge wage, need to be 1st choice and confine the new guy to being a bench sitter. To be fair, despite being long term number 2, he was absolutely brilliant at Stuttgart and he didn't look out of place for Bayern in the 17-18 season either. Never gonna happen, surely? But still, get it fucking up you Scott Bain. Oh, and send Hazard our way (Not because he's good, but because Jack Hamilton). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
