Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/7445811/Saints-move-on-from-Hooper Sky suggesting we've got other targets, including Rhodes.

Check his Twitter, is he at the airport yet?

Did anyone get a Van Damme shirt? One I considered but I'm glad I avoided!

Delgado... Damn that goal vs Arsenal.

But I thought our endeavour was to bring another striker into this football club???

Tweet from Gordon Simpson saying Neil Lennon has reiterated that no new bid has been made by Saints for Hooper. Wonder who Mehball saw this morning then?

Not doubting your info there fella, cheers for sharing in fact, but why would we be talking salaries before a bid is accepted? It's of no relevance to Celtic certainly & it's public knowledge can only be there to unsettle a player known to be looking for an improved deal. Could be perceived as a bit naughty that!

I'm not sure what I find more interesting, your comment or your avatar...

2 club record bids would mean we'd be bidding in excess of £4 million for Rhodes too. Interesting.

There's one in the Sun too, if that helps?

Barnard, yes. Tadanari, no (but almost).

Barry Venison was another. £800k at a time we were strapped for cash & we got the only player ever lapped by a snail. Magilton & Venison, now there was a midfield partnership that lacked pace!

Marcelo Tejera and Federico 'the Torpedo' Arias were 2 others. Both given big build ups as South American stars only to barely manage a game between them.

Our first £1 million man - Alan McLoughlin. Thought he was going to be great although, in fairness, it didn't help that Chris Nicholl used him out wide on the left.

Gary? Is that really you?

Is Neil Lennon stood there behind him with a gun aimed at his head? Sounds like we'd be wasting our time in this window going back but in the summer, if we were a Prem outfit, that could change. In the meantime, Marvin Sordell anyone?

Equally, we haven't seen him say he doesn't want to come to So'ton...

Dangerous game that. Tell a striker who it's been said is looking for a new deal he's worth £35 million & he'll want £35 million striker wages! He's going to look a prat if his board now accept a bid of £7 million or so now.

Out injured according to their OS. Although there is injured & 'injured', of course.

Forum poster Matthew Le Tissier suggested on another thread we were 80% there with a deal for someone not yet named on this site & NA said in his post match interview today he was hoping/expecting to complete a deal this week. Any ideas? A leftfield name I saw on Football Rumours (yes, I know...) was Luke Moore of Swansea though I'm not sure if I'd be that thrilled with him. Plus he's a striker & our main target there would appear to be Hooper + Lee's due in too. Maybe a winger then or back up CH?

"Can I go for a wee?"

Yep, Sky are now running with the story that he's turned down Leicester.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/295584 Deal back on according to the Express! They say bid was £4 mill and Celtic will be tempted if we offer £6 mill. Looks like press have as little clue as us as to what's going on...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2086498/Celtic-fend-6m-Southampton-bid-Gary-Hooper.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Daily Fail reporting we've had a £6 mill bid turned down... Surely we won't go higher???

& Hooper?
