Anyway, Galatasaray made a bid for Shaqiri believed to be in the region of 7m pounds. Shaqiri said he would consider it and Basel want about 12m.

Hope he doesn't go to Galatasaray, would be off the radar in Turkey and I don't think he will develop well there. He should go to a big club, I can also see him as a Reus replacement at Mönchengladbach, their coach is Swiss as well.

Looked it up -- his parents are Kurds.

Same thing

Jelavic9|RFC wrote:Surely he is better than those teams mentioned? What about Sanchez' replacement at Udinese?

He is but if he went to Bayern or United who he's been linked with, he won't get much game time. Especially Bayern, he will be purely a replacement for either Robben or Ribery, they get injured a lot but I think the kid might want to prove himself at a smaller club but still in a big league before he goes to a massive one.

Besides, Gladbach are doing really well, 4th at the moment and challenging for a CL spot. Udinese have Torje as Alexis' replacement I think.

If you sell him can you see yourselves bringing anyone anywhere near as good in? Jelavic out Boyd in seems inevitable.

Hopefully the likes of Demba Ba & Yakubu.

You have no chance of getting either.

We won't get £15million for me

QPR interested in Drogba.

Hughes told Fernandes he was their no.1 target when he wanted the job.

Who the fuck is he? And is he any good?

he's an Estonian right back, he's quite good, he was a really solid defender for us (by us I mean the Estonian national team) throughout the qualifications, I was always thinking after the qualifiers that he deserves to move to a bigger club, hopefully it will happen now


here's just a little video of him, not the best but I couldn't find any better ones

Henrique on loan to QPR with a 6 million something (not sure if dollars/euros/pounds) at the end of the season. Hasn't really done much since the U20 WC but he is suited to English football.

Exactly. I hate Barca and Madrid for it. It's both understandable and sad. Good teams, crappy clubs. Valencia have actually contributed quite a bit to the Spanish NT (and will in the future), but they never get credit for it. It's all about Barca and Madrid.

Gegilworld93 wrote:Definitely but they have loads of debts and won't be able to hold on on their star players, Rami, Alba and Banega won't be there anymore in two years if they keep playing well, could see Soldado stay a bit longer though

They're almost out of their financial rut, though, so they shouldn't be forced to sell their star players soon anymore. I hope they'll manage to keep this up and challenge for the title in near future.

I wish him luck, we need a solid right back.

I'll get back to you if he signs.

Sandaza turned down Rangers

Juan Agudelo will be on the move here soon enough,after New York went out and got Kenny Cooper.

Francisco Sandaza has rejected a pre contract from Rangers. -TNC Correspondent Daniel Gordon.

Der fuck is that?

You're twitter is obviously different from mine. Radio Clyde have said it as well now.

Ladies.

Who also said we had signed Gary O'Connor on a 5 year deal

Yet we haven't even spoke to him (which we won't).

lol

Radio Clyde isn't a reliable sauce. A few days ago they said Garry O'Conner was at Murray Park on the verge of signing for Rangers Football Club.

McCoist said that we have made an offer to his agent and he will talk to Sandaza on Monday or Tuesday. There will be no way that they will have met today, Sandaza will be focused on the match tomorrow.

Sandaza? Really? Surely you can get better players than that. If he replaces Jelavic I'll be fucking delighted.

Did you see the petition that Celtic fans sent to the SFA today? 1200 signatures basically saying that we had cheated and that we should be expelled and all this shit, on rm.

LOL

Marc Crosas to Santos Laguna

People making a bid deal because he came out of Barca's youth, but looking at the list of teams he has played in, it looks like he has been on a downward spiral.

Was he any good in his time with Celtic?

Never really got a fair crack of the whip given the number of midfielders we had. Definitely got a bit of technique and passing ability but never had the cutting edge to set him apart from the rest of them.

Still Celtic mad aswell.
