HOOPS WANTED LARSSON BACK -LAWWELL

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has revealed how he considered an audacious move to bring Henrik Larsson back.
Lawwell sounded out the Champions League winning Barcelona striker and his agent Rob Jansen but was made aware straight away that the striker was joining Swedish side Helsingborg.
Lawwell told the Daily Record: "I spoke to Henrik and his agent Rob Jansen but three words into it I was told 'no'.
"So there was no point pushing it any further as Henrik had made up his mind.
"All I'll say is if Henrik had shown any interest in coming back we'd have been keen to talk to him."
Lawwell wants Stilian Petrov back at the club for pre-season training despite the midfielder handing in a transfer request.
Lawwell added: "We don't want to sell Stilian Petrov, we want him back here for pre-season. Can his mind be changed? I just want him to see sense and come back."
Lawwell also wants Shunsuke Nakamura, Neil Lennon and Roy Keane to be back for the start of pre-season, adding: "We expect him (Nakamura) back and we want him back - in fact it's the same for Petrov, Lenny and Roy."
Celtic are still interested in Sparta Prague defender Michal Kadlec.
Brazilian winger Denilson is the latest name to be linked with a move to the SPL champions.
The samba superstar was once the world's most expensive player when he joined Real Betis for a whopping £21.5million in 1998.
Their chairman Jean-Louis Triaud said: "He is in contact with Celtic and Tottenham."

 

Would be nice but I think we all know his heart is set back on going home. He had a great journey with us and barca - now he wants to settle down.

 

couldnt have put it any better whats done is done it pains me to say he'll never wear the hoops in a competitive game again as he's my hero but hes going home and thats how hes always wanted it so we have to repect that hail hail henrik forever a legend at paradise

 

I dunno why Celtic tried to get him back, he had his mind made up last January.

 

I think it was worth a cheeky try, just on the off chance. He would still walk into our first team, and can still cut it at the highest level. I think he is right to go home though.

 

It would have nice to see him pull on the hoops again, but I like the fact that he left us in true superhero style. Did the double, scored 44 goals, two goals in final CP appearance, then two goals to turn the cup final around.
LEGEND

 

it wood be nice bt i dinnie hink ell come back

 

totaly agree...

 

the way fans are talking, they think we just offered him the contract!!
he already signed 1 with helsinborg ages ago so we wudnt have been able 2 get him

*, sure this is the extent of kidology, Celtic going forward, aye right, pull this wan its got bells on it!

 

I would not have wanted him back just in case things went wrong for him i want to remember him as the hero he was and the hero he is now .

* bless Henke and goodluck with Helsingborg

 

henrik is the king! he cant come back cause the magnificent 7 shirt is now zurawski's, and henrik doesnt want 2 come bac as a player.. who knows, maybe in the future he'l return 2 paradise but now hes off to his home club! all the best at Helsinborg

 

hes a legend in his own time and we should respect his decision

 

Yep agree Magic7 he has to be remembered for what he has done at CP a true and honest player as they come

 

It said in the paper larsson would be walken in to parkhead if they had not made a deal with tht team !

 

To hav henrik back would hav been great. I respect his decision to go home, He's had an incredible journey with both celtic and barca and it's only fair to let him go back home.
I agree that in a way it's good he's not back , we can all remeber him as the hero that we all love.

Hail Hail Henrik You ARE the king of kings

LEGEND

Is this the extent of our negative board and majority shareholder, trying to pretend they are attempting the positive?
Might fool some of y`all, but no me!

I just noticed in the Evening Times an article by Tosh McKinlay, he said that at least the Celtic support will give Lawwson a gold star for attempting to get Larsson, what * *, thats what I was getting at, you can pull the wool over the apologists eyes but others you cant!
OBVIOUSLY McKinlay crap personified! *

 

Yes, that it, blame the board for everything. The team fails to beat artmedia, its the boards fault, the spl is not lucrative, blame the board, player wont come to scotland because the SPL is a horse race at best and they want high wages to do so, the boards fault.

Not everything is handled by the board.

 

Dempsey you are entitled to being an apologist, and make excuses for the negative approach, the SPL may be a horse race, but the powers that be in regards to the CL is not a horserace, its horseshit!
I do hold the negative board and majority shareholder primarily responsible for Celtic regressing!
Just like you can be fooled into giving a so called gold star to Lawwson for trying to get Larsson, I say you are easily pleased and fooled!
Oh and by the way keep on backing the negative approach, please dont hint that I should do likewise!

 

And what about the "dynasty" that almost bankrupted the club, their "we'll buy our way out of trouble" attitude is why we are a plc and why we have only one majority investor. The board are trying to clear our debt and are investing in youth.

Where are your shares?

P.S. Who's "Lawwson", I think you have never read an interim report or have any clue in how the club is doing financially. At least what I'm saying is based on facts, what are you basing your opinion on?
