Rumour Mill

* is up your * ??? i sayed Sorry

 

i have a feeling that he will leave after we losing league and winning scottish cup beacuse of personal reasons (his wife). then we gordon strachan will join us and be put out of europe? plus watch out for hearts?

 

Some rumours from the Etims site if any of you are interested in reading it....

First up is the news that we should not panic in any way at all at all about Boruc. There has been some discussion about the structure of the deal - Boruc wanted a big wedge each week but the club are adamant (tippex across the nose and everything) that we are to push the idea of low basic and high bonuses. We’ve been told by sources close to those that know that a three year deal is all but done and will probably be signed in the days leading up to the Hearts game. These “other options” are said to be Bolton and Fulham. Boruc has apparently bought himself one of the penthouse suites in the old Post Office building in George Square. Unfortunately he can’t see out of the window because of that huge advert for Penny Farthings or War Bonds or something that’s been hanging there forever and a day. This signing announcement will be to combat the rumoured Bosman signing that Burley (or whoever it is that signs players at that club these days) will be making that week.

Lot of strange Mancurian talk about Aiden McGeady at the moment. According to a few Man U fans we know (one a resident of Milton Keynes and the other’s from Dublin - shocker eh?) there is a rumour doing the rounds that McGeady could be on his way to Old Trafford this January if things don’t change for him soon. He may replace Ronaldo who could be busy for the next five to eight years if stories are to be believed. Apparently Miller and Keane are being touted as possibly travelling the other way in some far fetched deal.

More news reaches us of the departure of George Adams from Beautiful Murray Park. Apparently he was punted for being “too close” to McLeish. Which suggests all sorts of jokes concerning the Police hit “Don’t Stand So Close to me” but we can’t be arsed to come up with any and to be honest we’re a wee bit concerned that more than a few of you are too young to have ever heard it. We also hear that his £3,000 a week salary has been slashed and the new guy is currently on £1,750. Funny that.

Rudi Skakel is a name that just won’t go away when it comes to rumours. We hear that Hearts are desperately trying to negotiate a permanent deal before January as Celtic are rumoured to be ready to offer a very nice salary to join the soon to be league leaders. Friends of Paul Hartley are also confident that they will be getting free tickets to the last OF game of the season. Read into that whatever you wish...
We’ve not done that wee ... thing for ages now have we? It’s the wee touches that make it don’t you think?

More trouble at mill for “Big Red” as we notice Chick Young has started to call McLeish. A wee birdy tells us that Stefan Klos is a bit miffed with his manager regarding his insistence on sticking with that bloke from Baywatch. We hear that Klos was due to play in the recent Clyde game but mysteriously failed to show when the game kicked off. A review of that evening shows that every outfield player had the numbers 2 to 11 on his back. Whereas Knight Rider was in goal with the number 15 on his shirt. Apparently Klos was sitting on the bench with the number 1 jersey. Which is strange don’t you think? We also hear that contrary to the usual order of things Klos and that bloke with mullet who’s name we cannot even begin to spell don’t train together. What can it all mean?
With a double header of Agms coming up for both sides of the Glasgow divide you’d expect there to be some gossip concerning dramatic flourishes. Admittedly it’s very unlikely that there will be a Flourish on display at the huns AGM however we do hear that Murray is intending to make sure his AGM knocks the Celtic one off the back pages. We understand that there are a number of rumours doing the rounds. The strongest being that a representative from the huns trust will be appointed to the board thus putting pressure on Celtic to do likewise.

Marc Wilson is said to be a stick on to join us in the January window. According to some Dundee United sources the club have accepted that he wants to join Celtic and, despite knocking back an offer in the summer, will now do business with us. Apparently the young lad has not been at his best since he was denied the chance to join us and a move is considered the best for all parties.

Not been a good week for BBJ according to the stories. As if being dropped to the bench wasn’t bad enough we hear talk that his missus left a very large pile of his clothes on the doorstep of Celtic Park recently. We can only assume she used one of those Cancer Research bags and was intending to donate his old clobber to charity.

Having said that we know of at least two Celtic players who were incredibly relieved to discover that the Sunday Mirror was set to expose BBJ’s dalliance away from home rather than theirs.
Some questions: Firstly which former Celtic Director is currently under investigation by the Inland Revenue and is said to have a £25 million hole in his accounts?

Secondly which professional footballer was caught this weekend having a quick slash up near the Uni at Ashton Lane?

And thirdly when will you lot realise that we can’t mention names because we’ve get sued to buggery?

Larsson this January to make his wee bhoy happy? Stranger things and all that...

Robbie Keane was apparently in Glasgow this week to do some sponsorship thing with his boot maker. Not to sign terms with the club at all. Oh dear us no.

Now settle back children, it’s time for hunwatch: one of our many scouts spotted the hoards of * in Bar Budda in the West End last weekend. Following his removal from the field of play due to injury the hun captain was working hard to get himself into shape for the crush Scotland game (against whoever it is they are playing for whatever difference it will make to their chances of going to the World cup- where are they anyway? 2nd? 4th? At the end of the day does it really matter? No we don’t think so either. Anyway where were we? Ah yes - Bazza getting fit...) by downing more than a few shandies and by asking our man on the spot if he had a *. Obviously being paid £32,000 a week doesn’t leave you with change to buy your own B&H from the ciggy machine. It was heartening to hear that Maurice Ross joined his old buddies for a few jars. However, it was sad to hear that, yet again, Maurice was later spotted wandering down Byres Road all on his ownsome with only a bag of chips for company. If you spot a hun contact us on the address below. You owe it to your fellow tim to prevent them from wandering into a hun infested pub.

A friend of ours from the World of Scottish Sports Journos tells us that David Leggat, ex of the Rangers News, upset a few folk with his line of questioning when Nakamura signed (see us? see topical?) Apparently there were one or two questions that someone with a nasty mind could have interpreted as making reference to Hiroshima. However, we are confident that such a fine upstanding (except when it comes to a minute of applause) member of the fourth estate would never ask question such as 'If he does well at Celtic, will he be the big boy?' Or 'Will Nakamura make a big bang at Celtic Park?'

It’s official - at least 20,000 huns sing sectarian songs at Ibrox. How do we know? Well the Chairman of the Kings of Mourne RSC club says so here: http://www.newsletter.co.uk/story/22995

That same media source mentioned a paragraph or so above tells us a curious tale. We hear that various changes have been made to the positioning of the TV cameras at Ibrox recently. Now we’ll admit that’s not exactly a topper of a tale in itself. However, we’ve been led to believe that the cameras have been repositioned to show less of the stands and the trolls contained therein. The suggestion is that someone somewhere demanded that the angles be changed because too many images of huns acting like... well... huns basically were on display. That in itself was bad enough but when the cameras started to show images of empty seats well something simply had to be done. Apparently nowadays the TV images will show only the first row or so of the horrible hun hordes.

Gary Caldwell is said to be all tapped up and willing to join WGS football revolution either in January for £250,000 or in the summer for heehaw. Which, we’ve been told, sounds the death knell for Varga.

And we hear that Thompson of Hibs is being watched closely. Certainly more closely than Riordhan who is said to have “lost” it according to our pals on the scouting team.

Following the buzzabouttheplace caused by Nakamura signing on for the bhoys we hear that Junichi Inamoto has been offered to us on a bosman. Apparently the WBA man is out of contract this summer.

Hannu Tihinen of Anderlecht is another name that keeps coming up in dispatches. And by * how we wish it wasn’t. Logging onto the Anderlecht site we were hit with an image of the club president. And you can practically see right up his nose.

Kenny Miller is rumoured to be on his way back to the huns to replace Nacho Novo. We don’t know about you but we’re terrified. Absolutely terrified by that news. Look at our hand - see how it shakes. Admittedly that’s due to the drink but still go with us on this one...

Gunnar Thorvaldsson of Halmstads (which we think are a brand of cigars) has apparently caught the eye of our scouts. Jonas Thern is currently the manager of the Swedish club and the story is that he’s trying to interest the huns or anyone else but we’re ahead of the queue.

We’ve also been told that WGS has his eye on David Nugent of Preston North End.
