Lawell Confirms all Rumours are Rubbish

Scottish Premier Celtic
by unclewattie (U11888977) 25 June 2008
comment on the article

Well Peter Liewell has finally came out and said that the only bids lodged by Celtic for players were for Pat McCourt and Kyle Lafferty.

He said "Any other claims that we have made bids for other players are nonsense."

"As is the case in every close season, particularly with Celtic, press speculation has linked many names with the club.

"While the club chooses to conduct its business quietly and in private, there is very little we can do about this speculation.

"However, it should be said that there have been numerous players mentioned who have never interested the club and who we have had absolutely no contact with."

Maybe this will stop the Tims on here stating who they will play up front next season, "will it be Pavyluchenko, or will it be Bent, or maybe Keane". And "we will play Lewandowski as the holding midfielder, Oh and Zhirkov will slot into left back"

So what your saying is the majority of Celtic fans have no faith in your scouting system and had to raise a petition to stop them signing Lafferty. On the other hand the same scouts have spotted a gem in the Rochdale Cowboy?? laughlaugh Stop please I'm in tears now.....

If what comes off with McCourt?? That he can hold down a regular spot in the reserves?? After all according to you DocK he hasn't been signed with a view to him playing in the first team. Your youth development policy must leave a lot to be desired if you've signed McCourt to strengthen your reserves
-------------------------

Didn't your lot do that with Gow?

What's the Reserves got to do with the youth system?

He's signed as a aquad player, who'll probably feature mostly for the Reserves, but may be good enough for the first team. That's what happens at a big club. Is that so difficult to comprehend?

Granted, our youth system hasn't produced such polished gems as Boab Malcolm, Mo Ross, Charlie Miller, Gary McSwegan... ok

So you have backed every signing by Rangers airtight scouting system, and have never disagreed with renowned flops suchas Flo, Sebo and co? And by this logic only young player signed from strong leagues will EVER make the grade in football? To quote Stewie, "Its like your f%*&n 5" laugh

Ah so McCourt is the new Ian Wright
-------------------------

If you stop making stuff up, then maybe this thread would run a little smoother.

The guy made a point about McCourt's age. The point I made about Wright is valid.

Come back when you're aff the glue chief. ok

If you look back, every post on here about Lafferty from fellow Celts were clear we didn't want him. At the initial £400,000 offer, maybe, but what has he done to justify a ten-fold increase in his valuation?

So you accept that this seasons 'Blue Chipper' is at best a reserves player. You know what I don't even think he'l make it there. Who's he gonna oust Mizuno??

Silly question Doc, Since our initial bid 15 months ago or whatever, he notched another 3 goals!!

Bouncy Bear, quickly scanned your posts history, seems 90% are on the Celtic Boards, and you have a hard on for the McCourt transfer....Ever heard the term 'pathalogical', look it up buddy, there's a good boy laugh

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

You're the only one calling him a "blue chipper." smiley

Should we be worried about this year's "Moonbeams," aka Misser, Lafferty and Velicka?

Or is Steve Davis the big summer hit?
