The rumours Thread

Huns are in for robbie fowler and beasley.

 

"Yassin Moutaouakil has revealed that Charlton fought off Aston Villa, Everton, Celtic, Marseille and even Barcelona to secure his signature."

A missed target...

 

Or hes talking pish & has no ambition in life as he would not turn down premiership football, celtic or even la liga football 4 the championship

 

right who's next in through the green door.

i'm hoping that we punt a few rather than sign.

then close the transfer window wo one more big big signing.
appiah would be nice

 

Besiktas are on the brink of a 2.5 million euros swoop to take Celtic flop Thomas Gravesen off Celtic's hands.

But the deal is threatened by the midfielders pay demands of 60,OOO euro a week pay demands

The Istanbul club have agreed a deal with Parkhead bosses and have been given a green light to speak to the 31 year old.

But Gravesen will only agree to a switch to the Turkish club if he is guaranteed at least 3 million euro a year in wages-that despite a woeful debut season in the SPL.[Irish News of The World] [Not the most reliable source I know!]

 

he obviously knows that he has gone as far as he can and he has no more potential so he's going to lie down and play in a league thats to his standard, he's a bullet dodged.

 

There was a rumour going arond that we were interested in loaning Ricardo Faty from Roma but he has signed for Bayer Leverkusen on a two year loan deal.

 

Celtic are thought to be tracking Swedish star Christian Wilhelmsson - but the presence of former England boss at Man City could convince the winger to move to England, while Spurs and Middlesbrough are also interested.

The 27-year-old Nantes player spent last season on-loan at AS Roma. Now that Nantes have been relegated, it has been suggested that Wilhelmsson is available for just £500,000 - a bargain for a player with 43 caps for Sweden.

However, the News of the World has claimed that Sven-Goran Eriksson wants to make his fellow Swede his first signing. With other English clubs also though to be monitoring developments, and it seems likely that Wilhelmsson will move to these islands, if not to Scotland.

Wilhelmsson is one of the fastest players in the Swedish national side and has caused top-defenders problems with his tricky play. While his goal-return isn't too spectacular, Wilhelmsson is more of a creative winner than a player who converts chances others create.

Examples of Wilhelmsson's pace can be see here and it's hard not to make comparisons with former Liverpool and Real Madrid star Steve McManaman. If Gordon Strachan managed to bring the winger to Parkhead, there is little doubt that Celtic's attacking potency would increase dramatically.

Certainly a player to keep an eye on during the next few weeks...

 

Wouldnt turn ma nose up at that ^

the Daily Mail says Graig Gordon goes to Sunderland.

 

Don't give a fvck about Craig Gordon most over-rated goalkeeper in the universe...............yes,the whole universe.

 

Mido is linked for 6 million to Birmingham today if a player with his stature in the game is worth 6 million. Then the only realistic prem players would have to be either over 35 or *. Better of looking to the continent.

 

Aston Villa, says the Daily Mirror, are 'lining up a £2.5million bid for Justin Hoyte.

'Arsenal are now prepared to listen to offers for the 22-year-old.'


He is already a good player at 22 and at 2.5 million he would be a bargain.

 

Celtic are on the trail of American soccer ace Michael bradley.
The hoops are keen on the heerenveen midfielder after his impressive performances for the united states in this summers under - 20 world cup in canada .
Parkhead star spotters john park and ray clarke both came back with glowing reports about the 19 - year old and told Gordon strachan to try and snap him up .
Bradley - son of us national coach bob bradley -is tipped to become a stalwart for the yanks over the coming years .

Bradley became the youngest player in MLS history to win a move abroad when he went to Holland two years ago .
It now depends how much heerenveen will demannd for him although it is unlikely they want bidding to start below 1.5 million euro .
