Don't get why Utd want Schweinstieger (sp?) so much... Not exactly a signing with a long term view, on a downward trajectory and he's guna be on big wages (though I guess they can afford it!). Looks like they've been using Morgan in order to hurry this move through. I feel a bit for Morgan, but if it means we keep hold of him for another year then I'd take that

Tbf Les doesn't actually say that... He says they will be following bids up in next 48hours and aim to get something over the line as quickly as possible. Obviously if we haven't signed anyone by Monday then people will be calling for his head.

FWIW maybe what I heard isn't the same as Gemmel or Chewy, as it had nothing to do with which side he bats for!

I've not seen it on the Internet

Lol not sure why he's jumped on you GC?! What an odd person

I'd snap your hand off for 7th

Don't think it has anything to do with being homesick

I also heard something about Toby but immediately dismissed it as bullsh*t... If it is the same thing as both of you are alluding to, then this forum is definitely not the place for it

Might be good psychologically for him to play on a less than ideal pitch, gives the knee a good test and if he comes through hopefully he can crack on. You're right, he must be gagging to get out there

I vote you to take over.

It's a tricky one, obviously don't want any injuries but he's got to play sometime!

I nearly ran him over once... he walked out into the road opposite the red funnel entrance just as I was turning the corner. He did look rather unhappy and gave me some serious evils, wouldn't have messed with him that's for sure!

Has anyone actually watched Van Dijk? Other than in matches with Celtic wiping the floor against league 1 level opposition? Not saying he's pants, he may well be excellent.

Yep, that's exactly what he is saying.

Oh well, time to move on. Hope we have been speaking with other options whilst this has been going on, think we need to make a bit of a statement with the calibre of Toby's replacement.

Are you David Bence?

Someone like Dragovic would be exceptional, but probably out of our league Not that impressed with Martins Indi, plus as Clarkey says he settled at Porto so couldn't see him moving. Not seen a lot of Moreno, so will have to bow to other peoples superior knowledge on him Van Dijk would at least fill our one signing a season from Celtic quota!

Does he work in the Club shop?

Because people on here whinged about it, so Les decided to up his game

But they can't reject a lower offer that they've already accepted? I'm just trying to establish why it's worth us bidding €20m to 'trump' Spurs, if their offer has already been accepted and cannot be 'undone' - surely if the playing is stalling then we just need to match the Spurs offer, especially as we have the £1.5m to play with too? Obviously if bidding €20m means they turn to us and blow Spurs out, then I'm all for it. But I'm not sure if they can, especially as they seem quite far down the line.

Can they 'un-accept' an offer that they've already agreed?!

Do you maybe think you should actually wait until official news is out, before chuntering?

Give it a rest mate, seriously.

Yeah that was a complete abomination of a defensive display (both the semi and final) I did see a few other games, plus have a mate who is a season ticket holder down there. He seemed to think that Stephens was a lot more comfortable on the ball and liked to get forward. Reckoned he would make a decent midfielder or RB/RWB

Fair play to him, all I saw was him getting caught out of position and letting his men get goal side of him. Maybe they were isolated incidents, though I think CB is probably one of the hardest places to bring a youngster through
