Along with about another 16,000 Bolton fans, obviously you dont think so!

You're the one crying about us looking to sign a couple of goalkeepers, you big baby. Is there a rule that says you're not allowed to sign 2 strikers if you sign 2 goalkeepers?

Crying? I was quoting what i thought what our priorities are? Four goalkeepers,in my opinion, is not!

Have I missed something? Has Schumacher said goalkeepers are our priority?

I know as little as you. That's why I'm not bothered in the slightest about us possibly signing a couple of goalkeepers. Whereas you've invented some sort of crisis to cry about.

Only you have mentioned crisis, making things up again, which you are well known for on here.

I will ask you a simple question?, im expecting a politicians answer. Whats your opinion and priorities, goalkeepers or strikers?

Its over DE, we are signing goalies and strikers in the future at some point!

Signing a load of keepers increases our squad size height which is the most important thing.

Didn't Tranmere have a goalie who they converted to a striker who scored 30+ goals in a seaaon. ? Yardley.

George Yardley, born Kirkaldy, Fife. Played around 120 games, scored 58 goals in 1966-70. At a time when Tranmere knew their place ... getting re-elected normally.

Has there been anything new on Jesper Ceesay? I certainly have certainly not seen any updates for more than a week now. Maybe that one is off the radar now!

Last up date was personal terms so probably not straight forward with is agent by the sounds of the guy

Certainly has slid off the back page so to speak. 

Obviously, if SS wanted him, then if it doesn't happen he may be disappointed. 

Probably still bubbling under the surface, but at the same time, I wouldn't be greatly surprised if they've turned their attention elsewhere, given the supposed baggage with his agent.

Johnny Kenny to sign a new contract at Celtic

I think we might only have been in for him on loan by this stage anyway

Well, we offered £500k, for a reserve.

Little doubt he'll not get regular games for the 'oops, so this may be a prelude to a loan. Here, or elsewhere.

Once a club knows a player has value, it seems to be the done thing to get them to sign a contract.  They may have no intention of them playing, but they won't be getting to the last year of their deals when fees start to reduce.  They know they can get upwards of half a mil for him and the value won't diminish in 6 months or a year if he's got a couple of years left.  Wrexham tried to get Dalby to sign an extension even though they clearly didn't want him, and luckily for us he didn't so we got him on a free

Iles said we were in for Gale before Ceesay and the Brexit paperwork/red tape is a ballache and said that’s the hold up. I think the transfer being leaked has muddied the waters.

Yeah he said something about only having work permits allocated to 2 foreign players being signed from abroad at any one time so Gale and Ceesay would be the 2 and Schon would meet the criteria to move to a different type of work permit.

That then is the responsibility of the player and his agent to ensure that adequate playing time will be forthcoming. 

The club also had to pay wages for someone they won't play.

He may well go on loan, but the comments from Rogers did suggest he thinks the lad may have a future there.

It did ... but it's bllx. Celtic are buyers of players. This lad will be lucky to get 5 minute cameo's off the bench in Cup games.

Paperwork? another joke? Thousands coming from France with none on a daily basis!
