Hartley? Which would be a shame.

Jaemi · 11th May 2008, 7:00pm

Nah, Hartley wouldn't get replaced by Faddy.
I doubt he'll actually be at Celtic to be honest, I think he'll be too much money. Anyway, he's only been at Brum for a couple of months I don't see him leaving just yet.

Think he's got a relegation release clause.

I reckon he'll be snapped up by a premiership club.

I think it'd refelct badly on him if he jumped ship a few months after joining.
If I was him, I'd at least wait till January.

Seems to be much like Belletti in that he's good going forward, but I haven't seen him having to defend since no-one really attacks FC Porto that much. Here is an example of him going forward and scoring a nice goal (from left back since the left back got stretchered off in a neck brace in this game..):

TOLD YOU! £16.2m

Zagreb accept Celtic midfielder offer – reports

May 14, 2008

Dinamo Zagreb have accepted an offer from Celtic for Croatia international midfielder Ognjen Vukojevic, according to reports on Wednesday morning.

Vukojevic made his debut for Croatia in the autumn and is part of Slaven Bilic’s squad for next month’s Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland.

The 24-year-old has been nicknamed Gattuso in deference to the Milan and Italy midfield enforcer.

He caught the attention of the Scottish football public during Croatia’s recent friendly clash with Scotland at Hampden Park

Get him signed before the Euros.

Motherwell are apparently going to bid £75k for Jim McAlister.

He'd be a big loss for us, but the cash would be nice.

YES! Sorry about the loss, but I absolutely love it when SPL or EPL clubs take players from the lower leagues rather than spend more bringing some guy in from abroad or whatever. It's one of the last romantic things about the game, along with Cup upsets.

It rarely happens these days, but a great example is Frazer Wright at Kilmarnock, they picked him up on a free transfer from Stranraer (who're semi-professional, so his fitness wasn't very good) and now he's made well over 70 appearances for Kilmarnock. Plus, of course, he was a postie so we all sing, "Frazer Wright - he used to be a postman but he's all right now".
