Liam Lawrence

i agree about lawrence yo summed him up imo

 

That's not a bad thing, i'd prefer a winger that has a good delivery and McGeady doesn't have that in his armory!

 

he's solid, hard working, good passer, good free kicks & crosses, i'd say he'd stroll it at SPL level, not the fastest player in the world, very similar to Alan Thompson style player

 

seen him having some great games with ireland. a solid EPL regular, comparsions with Alan Thompson, are accurate. Sign him up, 1.5 mil is a bargain.

 

Neil Lennon eyes move for Bullard, Ledley and Lawrence as first Celtic signings

Neil Lennon will be officially appointed Celtic's new manager tomorrow - and will immediately instruct a blitz on the English transfer market.
Record Sport can reveal Cardiff midfielder Joe Ledley has emerged as a priority target for the Parkhead manager-in-waiting - and that Stoke winger Liam Lawrence and Hull's Jimmy Bullard are also edging closer to teaming up with Lennon in Glasgow's East End.
But first Lennon must wait for his own future to be thrashed out. We understand a final round of discussions today are all that stand in his way of securing his dream job.
Celtic also still hope to secure the services of a father figure to help Lennon as he cuts his teeth in management.
And despite weekend reports that old head will not be former Leeds boss Howard Wilkinson, suggested to the club by former manager Gordon Strachan .
But Lennon will demand guarantees from chief executive Peter Lawwell and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond that the appointment of a mentor will not dilute his authority as manager .
The precise remit of any proposed director of football is likely to be top of today's talks.
While Lennon is not entirely comfortable with the idea of working under the watch of a more experienced campaigner Celtic will placate him with a cast-iron assurance his word will be final on all team matters.
The fact Lawwell is already closing in on three of Lennon's top transfer targets shows they have placed their faith in the 38-year-old's judgment.
Lennon knows Celtic can pick up out-of-contract Ledley on a free transfer because of a loophole in cross-border transfer rules. The Wales midfielder was the subject of a £5million offer from Stoke last summer and is now being pursued by Everton, West Ham, Fulham, Blackburn and Wigan.
But while these clubs would have to pay Cardiff a bumper compensation package Ledley would not cost Celtic a penny.
The move for Lawrence is at a more advanced stage. Lennon hopes Stoke boss Tony Pulis sticks with a pledge not to price the Republic of Ireland midfielder out of the market and sets a price of around £1.5m.
And with Hull's finances in a state of meltdown following relegation from the English top flight Celtic are close to agreeing a season-long loan deal for Bullard .

 

Which paper?

Edit: thanks for the quick answer.

 

Daily Record

A paper of ill-repute which I wouldn't wipe my * with, but would be delighted if these deals came off.

 

Not a reliable source I agree but they might be telling the truth this time. We'll see.

 

would be 3 very good signings would be happy if we got them

 

Please let the Daily R***** be truthful for once. Excellent signings. Get Campbell in, and maybe Stokes and I think we'll win the Treble, the Champions League, Euro 2012 & maybe the Grand National!

 

The Daily Record's Got to produce one good article every century, maybe this is it :icon_mrgreen:
Would be amazing if it came true, and we would an incredible Midfield. My only worry is the Record have just stuck four seperate rumours into one, and then printed it.
However i can dream then if we can get Campbell Granqvist a Left back and Maybe an St we would be in dream land. Ok im pushing it a lot here, but its silly season after all .
Please let this be true !!
No quotes lads

 

Put in a CM Enforcer instead of Bullard & I'll wet myself.

 

I wouldnt say this would make us an incredible team. We would be a harder team than last season.

 

If he keeps mgeady out of the ireland team then surely its an improvement on our team as nobody in our squad would keep him out of the team. From what Ive seen he is an intelligent player capable of precision passing and set pieces and can score from midfield.

 

No it doesnt. He is picked as he fits into their system with a requirement to track back. Hes not in the team for his attacking ability....which is what we have mcgeady for....and what celtic do most often in the spl

 

If we get these players and a good striker i'll be happy

 

Did you not see his attacking ability against algeria?

 

1 game? Stoke are willing to let him go.

 

fulham were willing to let steve davis go....whats ur point?
