i have to admit you english are an arrogant bunch lets get this clear celtic would not sell gary hooper for less than £8 million we paid £2.4 million for him and his game has improved beyond recognition he is a top class player and has already stated he wants to stay at parkhead he deserves to be among the top earners but if someone wants to bid the going rate then celtic would sell but not for the ridiculous amounts your quoting Southampton fans get a grip you dont have that sort of money your not guarnteed to get to the premiership yet !!!!!

Believable0 Unbelievable5

If you were realistic, you would accept that many Scottish premier league clubs are not playing football to a high level, there are many championship clubs that would be more than capable of competing at the top end of your premier league, so perhaps he looks better than he is, yes he's a good finisher but too good for championship? no ! , and if he joins Southampton he will find it difficult to score at that level, perhaps more so than against the likes of Hibs,Inverness etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hooper worth no more than 1 million in smarties, may do well for celtic , but so would my gran and she passed away 8 years ago!
all scottsih managers use the same tactics ,
"right lads " just kick it and run after it!
if in doubt row z in the stands!
and when we play any time in england ,i want you all on our goal line just booting the ball away!
hibs and inverness and st mirren wouldnt ever get out of our conference.

A note on the people claiming that Celtic couldn't handle the Premier League, may I remind you that both Celtic and Rangers have recorded some good results against English clubs in the past few years.

In last year's Champions League, Rangers drew at Old Trafford and only lost to Manchester United to an 84th minute penalty at Ibrox. Bearing in mind United were both EPL champions and Champions League FINALISTS last season. Rangers also beat Liverpool 1-0 this season, and Blackpool 2-0.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Yeah and some bad ones. I was at celtic when sunderland beat them and both teams put out strong sides to.

Agree0 Disagree0

You cannot judge on one off results, over the course of the season both Celtic and Rangers would find EPL a very tough league, would you be in the bottom three ? No , would you be in top 6? , No. Suspect you would finish somewhere in mid table.
Anyway its a mute point, With the politic al agenda of the Scottish nationalists to become independent of England, its never going to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic and rangers wouldnt even win our league one, shee utd shee weds , charlton , huddersfaield would be far to strong for them!
when rangers beat blackpool in a friendly, we used 8 kids and 4 trialists , the same blackpool team went to kendal and got 8-1 , rangers 2-0 . does that mean kendal would beat the mighty rangers?
am thinking yes!!!!

maximus

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats yor problem minimus, u think too much & u then go & say too much. Anyone wud think yor BLACKPOOP team were world beaters & their NOT, so shuuuuuush boy

Agree0 Disagree0

I was at the game,and your a lyer.Blackpool played there first team in that game.It was Rangers that played the kids,in the second half.And we dont care about Blackpool.We took the game to get our fitness up.We were always going to win that game.Its better teams that we play to learn from.And Blackpool will never be one off them.Your full off Diddy men,that could not cut the SPL.Wilson is the only exeption who did.And you dont own him,he is a loanee.Ally

Agree0 Disagree0

Played trailist mate and kids , your s**t , still in europe ?? no !
come on just face facts, we will get your players on loan and make them better players , thank us one day! oh and thanks for the money from adam!

ha ha ha

maximus , stop getting your kilt in a twist!

Agree0 Disagree0

Champions league football makes them better players.And not championship football,and Wilson has played there with Rangers.He was sold before the club was sold.As it had to be done at the time.And Liverpool got a steal,for £2 million.Blackpool have never played in any magor European competitions.And they never will do ever.It was not to long ago,that Rangers were in the Europa league final.And went as far as any English team in the same competition last year.Going out at the same stage as Man City.Who spent more on one player,than we spent on our whole team.Ally

Celtic close to signing Hamdi Salihi of Vienna and Vardy of Fleetwood Town, with loan for Boothroyd as back-up if either fall through, dependent on Mark Hughes. Will offload or loan Rasmussen and Bangura to make way. The coveted centre-half is more of a problem with NL only willing to bring in a long-term quality centre-half.

Embarrassed at some of the utter sh1t some fellow Southampton fans are talking when it comes to rumours and 'guaranteed' signings.

We won't get Hooper as we will never spend over £5 million on someone whilst we are in the championship. Similarly we will not invest in an over priced championship-quality player (e.g. maynard, butterfield, sharp, rhodes) as that is not the Adkins/Cortese way.

Likely, realistic signings so far are Lee, Jutkiewicz and Ruiter.

I appreciate this is a rumours website but you are an embarrassment with some of the absolute sh1t you spout, and you make the rest of us look like deluded, arrogant fans. By all means speculate but don't fabricate ridiculous statements just for attention.

Most of it is rubbish, but still it's better than being linked with nobody, this sight is for speculation what do you expect...

West Ham are better and bigger than Derby, most likely to pick the Hammers over hopeless Derby County!

Oi where do you get off calling Derby county hopeless? Beat West Ham and Leeds over christmas, only team in the COUNTRY to get max points over festive period, and are way better than the useless tripe down the road, so show some respect you hopeless person {Ed003's Note - Dont bite }

Believable5 Unbelievable4

Wont happen because Man Utd have a buy back clause on Rossi's contract so they will not allow him to go to spurs. Redknapp will not let his striker go to a club who are both trying to get top 4. Abidal wants to finish his career at Barcelona so thats not gonna happen plus wenger said he only wants a left back on loan. Alan Pardew has said Newcastle aren't going to sign a striker in the january window so Huntelaar = no chance. De Rossi has been quoted saying if he moves to england it will be to Man Utd and nobody else. Di Maria is not for sale and is at a top club and Mourinho is a big fan. Real Madrid want cash for Higuain to buy a replacement striker why would they want Lampard? Drogba wants to stay at Chelsea but only if they offer him a 2year contract but if they don't he will go to China.

Snodgrass to join up with ex colleague at Norwich, 1.5mil



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure no-one would want to join up with Bradley 'Judas' Johnson. And it will take a bid of five times that amount to even open negotiations. You should check your facts.
wally


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prem has gone to your head, your still a small club


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Give it up sad small Norwich,he don't even get on with bj.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I know most Yorkshire folk a not the sharpest tools in the box, So lets try and keep this to works of less than three sylabuls. YOU ARE A VERY SMALL CLUB WHO ARE LIVING ON THE HISTORY OF DAYS LONG GONE BY.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ward is injured and we need strength in the backline so why would we loan him


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah we havnt got the money for him in january, wont happen indeed.
but small? cmon. sorry whats ur average attendance this year? let me enlighten you. 23,700. we're not a big club, sure. but our crowds average/season has been in the top 15 for years now (13th so far this yr) and its only going one way. look it up before shouting abuse, defo not a "small" club.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't get all you Leeds fans. Yes your history is better, and you are a more well-known club around the world. But the situation is, Norwich are a premiership club, Leeds are championship, and it will be this way next season aswell. So if Norwich came in for him and had a bid accepted, I have no doubt Snodgrass would leave.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fact of the matter is, yes you may be bigger, in the way that around the world you are more well known, and that you have won more than us. But we are a premiership club, and will be next year, you are a championship club, and will be next year.

scottish football has been slowly dying for a long time but all these fans of lower english pl teams and championship teams who constantly slag us off should beware, one day the money in england will dry up and teams like wolves, wigan, qpr, west brom ect who are paying big wages will be really struggling..who knows maybe then you will all be desperate to get the old firm down there to increase t.v money ect. rangers and celtic are bigger clubs in terms of history and fanbase than most english Teams. I really believe if given the chance the old firm would become a real force down south.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Basically, whatever all you absolutist Leeds fans think. Snodgrass will not be at your club next season. If he does not leave this transfer window, then he will be going for free at the end of the season. Unless Leeds get promoted, which is looking very unlikely, Snodgrass will leave. He is wanted by teams in the Premiership, and he is good enough to play in the Premiership. So basically all you Leeds fans, need to open your minds, and look at the wider picture, not just what you want to happen. You just need to accept the fact that every players ambition, is to play in the best league in the world. So basically, Snodgrass has 7 months left at the club at most, and will most likely be going to Norwich, if not someone else. (and this is not just another one of those Norwich rumours that I write this because we are apparantly going to sign 99% of the players in the championship)

Believable1 Unbelievable0

That's because your a championship team

every1 knows that rangers will struggle to pay the 300 grand st johnstone want for sandaza unless jelavic goes so as far as rumours go i dont think there is much point in making stuff up about other players coming in until we find out if ally will get money to rebuild the squad if or when jelavic goes. for me kris boyd would be top of my list along with riordin, both free agents and are proven goalscorers in the spl. As much as i would like to see big names at ibrox this is the level of player we can afford now

QPR's Taarabt has made it clear to his agent that Warnock's departure concerning his management skills was not the sole reason behind him leaving the club. Taarabt's agent has confirmed in the Moroccan press that a training ground spat between player and manager helped the process, as Taarabt in his own words told Warnock 'Why can't you make us play like Norwich City?' before he handed in a transfer request. Infuriated, Warnock told Fernandes who sided with Taarabt.

On Sunday the 8th man city played man utd in the FA cup utd scored in the first 10 mins an in the 12th kompany was sent off for lifting both feet off the ground and stamping towards the ball now in fairness he did get the ball but it's a big no no there was no need to lift his other foot from the ground but he did an he got done for it fair is fair man utd controlled most of the game an city were lucky to score one let alone two. City are a fantastic team full of mercenarys its a shame none of the same players will be there in two years Time as Mancini has no loyalty

The way Looney acted towards the Ref was a disgrace, even IF it was a red card he should Not have gone up to the ref the way he (and always does) that coming from one of the biggest cheats in the game and the one that kicks opponents in the back of the leg, what an overpaid, over rated Tosser he is.

'kicks opponents in the back of the legs' and THEN the FA go pleading on his behalf to get
the ban reduced
Puzzled

Agree0 Disagree0

There is one rule re tackling for some and another for the non-elite. Lampard stays on, Kompany goes off, If Ryan Shawcross or Joey Barton had committed Lampard's tackle the press would br screaming for a huge ban. The ref was less than amateur... not booking Giggs, letting De Jong get away with a worse tackle than Kompany, missing two penalty shouts. As a neutral he diminished an otherwise excellent game.

Paul lambert will leave norwich in not to distance furture, it will be to a bigger club like newcastle or one of the very best. A small club like qpr has no chance . Im sure lambert does not want to drop into 2nd tier with team with a very small surport. And owner only there becuse he could not buy the team of his choice west ham. As for warnock getting the sack, it made my day, Has there ever been a game he's lost that his team did not deserve to win? Qpr fans deserve better now they may well get it but it wont be lambert.
