Summer 08 Transfer and Rumours Thread

[Stew]

i think its safe to say its gonna be a very different celtic we see next year
id say there are a fair few players that WGS will be tellling 2 get tae fuck

You're assuming WGS is still there, himself, pal.

[crazydiamond85]

i really do hope celtic are not that thick

I'd be very surprised if Strachan is there next season, very very surprised.

I don't know, man. If Strachan can pull back the league and win it, then it'll be one of the best achievements of a Celtic manager since Seville since he's behind and the team is playing so poorly against a Rangers team that's brimming with confidence.

If he doesn't win the league, I can see it being curtains for the wee fella.

[Jushin Liger]

Nah I think if he wins the league he's gonna walk and if he doesn't he'll walk with a friendly push to get him started. I think you can tell from his attitude and manner that he' s unhappy. He's always been about him and his team in a very insular way, with his comments to the press and the like you see he has an "us against the world" attitude which although brilliant for developing team spirit is a nightmare when one or two players break away, I think that's happened and he wants out.

He wants to go out winning but he's fed up with being manager of Glasgow Celtic.

It's my take on it, time will mock or vindicate me.

Certainly makes sense from everyone we see coming out of Celtic Park recently. Who'd replace him though? David Moyes is out of contract at the end of the season, 'cos I can't see the Celtic board paying a lot of compensation for someone.

[¡Punk!]

He should leave and try and find a set of fans that would appreciate him. Even if he wins the league I think he's sick of the fans on his back for every little thing.

Can't see Moyes leaving Everton unless it's for one of the big 3 in England or something abroad. He's taking Everton for consistently mediocre to pushing Liverpool all the way for a CL place. south in my book. He's changed Everton over the last two years from unattractive and difficult to beat to a real footballing side. On top of showing that players from the english leagues (Cahill, Lescott) can step up. I think those two would get in all but two or three teams in the prem week in week out.

Moyes announced just after christmas, he would love to manage one of the old firm teams.

Without going into a "my auntie's dog's vet's wife knows Tommy Burns sister" sort of thing I think it will be someone a lot closer to home (not Tommy Burns btw).

He also recently said that he is aware that his contract expires in the summer, but is looking for the Everton board to back him with money to push the team on further still before he will sign a new contract.

The ball, it would appear, is in the Everton board's court, and with the television money, UEFA Cup money and revenue for finishing in the top ten in the EPL it doesn't look too good for him coming north.

It'd be fantastic for the SPL if we could attract a manager of his calibre up here though, supporters of every team would have to admit that.

[¡Punk!]

Jim McInally's not on a contract at East Stirling. Please fucking take him Celtic. PLEASE!

I could do with a laugh. I could do with seeing Celtic get relegated too.

That would have been written into the job advert mate.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen ya wee dick!

I hear Blackburn want Tommy G.

I WANT Tommy G back at parkhead.

Considering he just signed a contract up till 2011 he's not going anywhere for less than ten million, I'd hope.
