Here's hoping the Villa deal is concluded this afternoon.
Celtic fans are proper point and laugh material in this saga so it will be hilarious if he goes to Villa.
Please make it so.
Mon the Meatball!

Looking, at the moment, like the move to Villa is happening!.
Still no mention of the fee.
SHOW US THE MONEY!!!!
-
Is anywhere actually reporting that Hibs have agreed a fee?
-
Do our fans get visibility of transfer fees paid / received at AGM's and in annual accounts?
-
It's a Colts game. It should be free!
Same with the SFA charging money to see U16 games at Oriam - ridiculous!
-
Can’t see why he would want to go to Villa. He can get a better move than that I would have thought and if he can’t then I’d think Celtic would be preferable to Villa.

Div has tweeted about reading somewhere that Kyle McAllister might be coming back on loan.
If there is anything in it, what a signing that would be
Would certainly give us the bit of width that we're looking for. Still a very young player though and hasn't played at this level before. He's had a couple of injuries down at Derby as far as I remember and was in their (u23 ?) squad - so would still need to step up to make his mark here second time round.

Heaton as well though....
The manager's area of expertise on the pitch, £75K and a 3 year deal? I assumed the defence would be built around him but he's going to be in the reserves.
The game at Rugby Park, Kpekawa was signed just hours before, said himself he wasn't anywhere near fit yet, there he was, into the team ahead of Heaton.
Hopefully Heaton has strong enough attributes to come on a fair bit and justify the price tag. Reserve league returning will be more helpful than u20’s.
Kpekawa isn’t the worst centre half we’ve had but still looks slow and short of fitness. He doesn’t look like a leader the way Harry Davis was - and it’s a calm, assured leader that we need next to Baird.

Got to be Jeff King or Cody Cooke if one of the new signings is on the way out.

if McGinn turns down a mega money move to a higher level competition and a team with much better players, it would show a real lack of ambition. Plenty of time for him to play for Celtic in his career. Although I fear there's every chance he might not want to go.
Depends on your perspective.
At Celtic he can win titles and has a good chance of playing Champions League football.
He won't have that at Brighton but if he can make a success of it there he would have the chance to get a move to a top team like Andy Robertson has managed.

If nothing else it would put pressure on Septic to make a higher offer.
That's still debatable I'm afraid.
McGinn holds all the cards here.

If Brighton are really involved this could get interesting now.
It would seem up to this point that he really is set on a move to his boyhood heroes Celtic. English Championship would be pretty unattractive in comparison to that, but getting a move straight in to the English Premiership may be a different story!
Fair to assume that this would be a desired career movefor an ambitious Scottish player but he would effectively be cutting out the inbetween move. He'll make more in wages at Brighton and if he's a success he could likely pick a time of his choosing to Celtic later in his career.

Today's the day.
1 or 2 signings.
I can sense it!

You've been reading Bazil on here. We got around £300k for last season's player of the year in the championship. £100k would swing it.
Pretty sure that the owner of Ayr is a somewhat wealthy American and the club is a bit of a pet project for him.
No need for them to sell if that's the case unless they get a daft offer. I'd consider a daft offer to be somewhere north of £150k but it depends what Ayr think.

Yes, heard that to from an Ayr fan, that we were sniffing about. Ayr would want comp though
No chance we would pay any significant money for Shankland.

Had a quick look at a Heart's forum and the general consensus, apart from a couple of the usual roasters, is that Cowie is a great influence both on and off the park, works really hard and is fit as a "butcher's dug". A steadying influence in midfield.
He might seem a bit of a luxury, but I've already stated my reasons as to why he might be signed.
I do agree that a couple of strikers need to be signed very quickly.
I don't doubt that Cowie would be a decent signing. Played at a good level and if he played 30+ games in midfield last year then he's obviously keeping himself in shape. I'd be surprised however if we signed a guy of that pedigree as a squad filler, so would expect that Willock or Flynn would be pushed down the pecking order if we were to sign Cowie.
In other circumstances that would maybe be okay but given that Stubbs is already working under budget constraints then I think it would be a bit odd to sign him.
-
Cowie would be a strange one given the current balance of the squad. I can't imagine we will sign him.
-
Hopefully we have a striker signing waiting in the wings to try and limit the impending meltdown from some fans.
It may be a bit short-sighted letting Stewart go but who knows - time will tell. Maybe we could have worked with him as a project but perhaps the guy wants first-team football just now. He certainly wouldn't be a first team pick for any team in our league - that tells it's own story. He needs to bulk up. Lewis Morgan worked that out at the age of 18 but Stewart is 23 and still lacking.
Good luck to him.
Over to you Stubbsy.

Staggering if we've shipped out 16, replaced them with 8, been promoted and got £300K compo for Jack yet we've only got room for 2 more players on the budget.
Makes me wonder how much we allowed JR to push the boat out to secure promotion?
Squad fillers: Donati, Duffy, Hill
To name but three.

Hope the fans attending the Q&A tonight are respectful and reasonable with Stubbs.
I assume this isn’t being live streamed but may be uploaded later?

Spanish winger on trial apparently from lower leagues in Spain.
23 year old - Roberto Juan Kenobi.

Watched a couple of the Toulon U21 games where Hornby was playing up front.
I thought he looked awful to be honest.
Big hulking lad but I thought his touch, link up play and shooting was all sadly lacking - in the games I watched at least. Similar to Oli Burke, he was just lumbering around up front and not doing much when he got service. Both were outshone by Mikey Johnstone who I would love us to get at the end of August if Celtic decide to let him go out on loan.
I'd rather a more established and experienced striker than Hornby.

Are the young team (W7) not planning a march to the stadium again??
After the success of the trophy day march I would have thought it was a stick on that they'd be going for the same again for flag day!!

We shouldn't under any circumstance be looking to blow the best part of £1m quid in the space of a year - so it should make no difference whether we get paid up front or in installments. (unless of course Villa go bust)
Even if we did want to blow the £1m before we get our hands on it, the club could always ask SMISA to front it from the £2 pots and all the ring-fenced money.
