    I think this may be Lennon's back up plan and we will only go for him if we don't get Balde

    Not really, I don't think he's good enough but in the context of England if your media mates big you up you get a game.

    If not, you don't. Rickie Lambert was the best English striker last year and gets continually ignored. Chris Sutton when he was forming one of the best partnerships in England was ignored, Kevin Davies putting in match winning performances at Bolton was ignored.

    It's an English thing. The SPL is so far out of the equation its unreal but lets not pretend it's just us there media and arrogance effects.

    It's their downfall.

    With Balde looking certain to come in I cannot see this happening. If we bring in another forward he will not be a big, bulky type I imagine, more like Hooper if anything.

    Id take Carlton Cole, good experience Premiership player. Not quite as good as Hartson but probably better than Vennegoor of Hesselink.

    I'd take him on a free, he's certainly better than Doyle.

    2 goals and 2 assists in 29 matches this season. Mulgrew gets more as a center half...
    I'd rather recall Bangura

    Totally. Can't see Carlton Cole having the skill to pull this off:

    He's got a worse goals per game record than Kevin Doyle. 0.2 goals per game to Doyle's 0.3 goals per game.

    Decent enough, but no chance if we sign Balde.

    Yes please. Like Paul said though, if we sign Balde II then this definitely won't happen.

    Trying to figure out who is the worst between him and Doyle. Not for me.

    How do a betting-site count as a source?

    It's people calculating what they think it's most plausible. They don't know *. It isn't journalists who have been told Celtic is interested in the player.

    The bookies have the inside track as well.

    A lot of the time they'll cut it right down if they have been informed it's going to happen. It's worth a lot of money for them to do so.

    However... it can also just be one * idiot placing a £500k bet on him joining and then that slashing the odds :56:

    He is better than Doyle, just not sure if he need him now we look to be getting Balde. Need a Hooper upfront, hopefully the man himself stays.
