Celtic Summer Transfer Rumors

apparently were interested in every player and his dog, what i expect to see happen is nacho novo sign for 200k and the board to stuff more money into the boots of their motors and drive away laughing maniaclly at the 60,000 mugs they use as a cash machine every second week, not to mention the countless hundreds of thousands who buy the merchandise.
"The Beating of Barca" DVD looks like it was knocked up on my cousins clipart program in 5 minutes, the dvds burned then distributed worldwide.

 

Novo will be at the Gers.

 

Neither one of you is getting Novo for the laughable fees you've been offering . He's more valuable to keep rather than send you him for 200 k .

Chief Executive Peter Marr told The Sunday Post that unless substantially improved offers for Nacho Novo or Julian Speroni are received by the club then the players will be wearing the Dark Blue again in the new season. Speaking to head sportswriter Ron Scott Peter said "Nacho and Julian are worth much more to Dundee remaining at Dens, if we are not offered the money we value the pair at, they are going nowhere. The ball is firmly in Dundee’s court given that both players are under contract and are more than content to remain at Dens."
Marr said that Rangers bid of £200,000 for Novo, who scored 25 goals last season, was "laughable"

 

"I think Stilian has the chance to move to a bigger league now," he said. "After five years in Scotland it's very important for him to move on and develop as a player."

Yeah cos it certainly did henrik larsson no good to stay with celtic all these years.

 

Radzinzki may be going to Celtic in a Part Exchange for Balde.

 

That makes sense, over-rated striker for defender that has forgotten how to defend since he came back from the african nations cup.

 

I think Radzinski would make a good third striker if the price were right. At least until Maloney comes back. I shouldn't like to lose Balde though. Sure, he has his dodgy moments. But as a physical presence hes pretty much irreplaceable, unless we get this guy.

 

Looks like Henrik is on his way to the Camp Nou. Ironic, no?

It would be even more so if we were to meet them in the CL this year.

 

Berbatov might be a good investment. He's no Larsson but he's a tough-minded attacker. Leverkusen is probably getting rid of him preparatory to bringing back Landon Donovan.

 

Does anyone know whether former BVB striker Amoroso will join Celtic on their USA tour this summer? Heard he should join them on trial.

 

I thought I read he is not joining Celtic; my recollection is that Marty wanted to be sure Amoroso was fit and Amoroso thought his reputation precluded little things like fitness. I can't find the article, though.

Celtic open the North American tour in less than a month so I think one or more strikers will be signed by then.

Novo in Celtic Park talks


Nacho Novo was at Celtic Park for talks on Tuesday
Striker Nacho Novo has arrived at Celtic Park for signing talks after Dundee accepted a £500,000 offer from the Scottish champions.
Celtic's Glasgow rivals, Rangers, had long been favourites to capture the 25-year-old Spaniard.

But the Ibrox club have so far only increased their bid to £350,000.

A Dundee spokesman said on Tuesday: "We are continuing to talk to a number of clubs who have expressed an interest in Nacho Novo."

Dundee had denied suggestions that Novo is prepared to hold out for a move to Rangers, even if it meant leaving for nothing next season.

His willingness to travel to Glasgow to meet Celtic officials appears to be confirmation of that.


Rangers are being short-sighted

Dundee chief executive Peter Marr
Novo is close friends with former Dens Park team-mate Zurab Khizanishvili, who has been at Ibrox for a season.

Rangers angered the Tayside club when an SPL tribunal ruled they did not have to pay a fee for the Georgian defender Zura Khizanishvili.

Dundee were placed in administration days later and Dens Park chief executive Peter Marr has criticised Rangers for being "short-sighted" in the race for Novo.

"It's sad Rangers can't afford another £150,000 to sign a player who could possibly put them into the Champions League," he told the Sun.

New Rangers Novo bid fails
"What's that worth to them? It could be counted in millions. All the money they get from that would easily pay for his transfer.

"After all, Rangers didn't have a player who matched his total of 25 goals last season and we don't consider £500,000 is a lot of money for Nacho.

"Thankfully, there may be other clubs who can match our valuation.

"Anyway, no matter what Rangers think, we have to do what is best for Dundee."

 

Fact:
Young Canuck up and comer Jacob Lensky snatched from the clutches of Man Ure.

Fiction:
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

 

I see a serious promotional ad campaign...."Nachos go well with Bhoys!"

LOL.

So how good is Nacho? I mean I love Nachos, who doesn't except maybe vegetarians.....

 

Rangers have had an offer in the region of £450,000 accepted by Dundee for striker Nacho Novo.
The player is expected to sign for the Ibrox club imminently, with the agreement of personal terms thought to be a formality.

The news brings to an end weeks of speculation regarding Novo's future.

The Spaniard held talks with Celtic last week but no agreement was reached and it seems certain that he will now join Rangers.

 

have any Nacho's with Huns jokes

 

Desailly keeps options open

Desailly agreed to leave Chelsea this week
Veteran French defender Marcel Desailly has expressed interest in a move to Celtic as well as hinting he would be keen to stay on as a coach at Chelsea.


if it was a 30 yr old Desailly... the quote "deceptively slow" springs to mind..

I have fannied about trying to include the link (help!) this is on bbc.co.uk

 

I think this is what you were after...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/3876093.stm

Nae chance of him going to the Piggery though, I think he's trying to generate a bit of interest from elsewhere with those comments...

Having said that, the quotes were attributed to the Daily Record, a most highly esteemed and reputable source...

 

but how do you add the links to your posts?

Of course he's not going to Paradise (your fingers must have slipped)... if we wanted an old timer we would have kept Mjalby...

Desailly will coach, surely he'll avoid doing a Blanc at Man U.. or a Tom Boyd, his final 2 season's make me squirm now, and a fat S'Ally at Killie took friendship too far.. this would make a good thread (my favourite must be Porgey Best waddling for Hibs..

did the daily rag have a nice big 'Exclusive. Chelsea star for Celtic' or 'World Cup Winner' stamped on the story.. it never fails to dissapoint.

 

Allan, first things first... posting the link is a piece of pish. Just copy and paste from your address bar (or whatever it's called). Even a technological philistine such as myself can work that one out.

Moving on. Desailly is the one who has started this rumour (if we actually believe that the Record aren't making up those quotes) and he's probably not in Celtic's plans right enough. Anyone could see during the France vs Croatia match in Portugal that he's well past his best, and I reckon MON would know that the Frenchman would probably see an Old Firm move as a cushty, but fairly lucrative, stop on the way to retirement. However, it has to be said that this Celtic side is ageing also, and I'm sure the regulars at the Piggery (fingers slipped again) would like to see a few youngsters being drafted in.

Didn't see the Record myself, it was reported in that BBC article that that is where the quotes came from. However, for some bizarre reason this story was on the back of the early edition of the Belfast Telegraph. Must have been a slow news day...
