Shittu hat immer noch keinen Verein... das zieht sich nun auch schon ĂŒber 2 Wochen hin... glaube mittlerweile nich mehr dran, dass er kommt

Zum GlĂŒck!

[danrik]

ich hÀtte es eigentlich gut gefunden...

[1967]

Ich nicht Sicher, fĂŒr kleines Geld vielleicht ne Überlegung wert. Aber es wird schon seine GrĂŒnde haben, wieso denn jetzt keiner nimmt

[Lubo]

Eben. Wenn einer nicht zum Probetraining kommen will mit der BegrĂŒndung, er will vertragslos keine Verletzung riskieren, dann ist er fĂŒr die KnochenmĂŒhle SPL sicher nicht geeignet.

Ich hoffe jetzt bis zum Januar einfach mal auf Hooiveld oder Rogne. Misun ist auch noch da, und Wilson kann zur Not auch IV spielen. Ach ja, Loovens ist auch noch da!

Shite-tu.

[danrik]

das mit dieser... ausrede hab ich gar nich mitbekommen^^

Misun is glaub ich in Dundee oder?

[Lubo]

Ja, Misun wurde anscheinend im September fĂŒr 1 Monat zu Dundee FC ausgeliehen.

[Gollum]

Das Innenverteidiger Duo sollte ab jetzt jedenfalls erstmal Majstorovic - Hooiveld heißen, von Loovens hab ich nach Sonntag vorerst wieder genug gesehen. Ob der bei uns nochmal zur Normalform wiederfindet...?
Mit Rogne haben wir ja noch einen talentierten Dritten in der Hinterhand, der eigentlich immer positiv aufgefallen ist, wenn er denn mal gespielt hat. Die Leihe von Misun geht doch bis Dezember, also bis Ende 2010, oder?

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has not ruled out the possibility of a swoop for out-of-favour Manchester City keeper Shay Given in January.

The Republic of Ireland shot-stopper has not started for the Blues this term after falling behind Joe Hart in City boss Roberto Mancini's pecking order.

Mancini has given the 34-year-old the green light to leave the club in January if he wishes, although he has since insisted he will not be leaving on the cheap.

While Lennon says he is happy with his goalkeeping resources at present, he acknowledges the situation may change in January as on-loan keeper Fraser Foster may be recalled by parent club Newcastle after the injury to their No. 1, Steve Harper.

Lennon told Sky Sports News: "You can ask me that (about the possibility of signing Given) in January.

Very happy

"I'm very happy with the three goalkeepers we have - they are pushing each other for a first-team place at the minute.

"I think Fraser's done very well since coming in but we'll have to see how that situation develops now Steve Harper's got a bad injury and he (Foster) is on loan from Newcastle and we'll have to look at that in January.

"If he is called back by Newcastle there might not be a lot we can do about it and we might have to look elsewhere then."

Asked if the Hoops could afford Given's wages, he replied: "I don't know, you'll have to speak to (chief executive) Peter (Lawwell) about that.

"But I think we'll be in a position of strength if we're going well in the league, I think we should be okay to add to the squad if we want to."

Gustavo Ruelas hopes to win a dream move to Celtic this week by catching the eye of manager Neil Lennon.

The US youth striker has flown into Glasgow to spend the week on trial at Lennoxtown as the Parkhead club aim to strike a deal with Mexican side Santos Laguna to secure the 19-year-old’s services in January.

Ruelas, born in California to Mexican parents, will require a work permit which means Celtic would have to convince a special panel he is good enough to make the grade in the SPL.

Now the six-foot striker is keeping his fingers crossed he can win a dream move.

He said: “I’m excited about this. The chance to play in another continent with such a big club has never happened before.

“I know the Scottish league is physical, but that won’t bother me.

“I have become used to scoring in green and white because that is the colours of Santos.

“They have the same strip as Celtic. And when I was younger I actually played for a team in California called Celtic Harps.

“Most of my playing career I have played in green and white.”

Providing Ruelas does win a move to Celtic, it would have him link up with countryman Efrain Juarez and possibly going up against a player who grew up in the same area in America as him in the shape of Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.

He said: “It would be good to spend time with Efrain and Maurice Edu is also from the same area in California as myself.”

Elsewhere, Celtic have once again been linked with a move for out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given in January.

[McCeltic]

Anscheinend kehrt Forster im Januar zu Newcastle zurĂŒck . Harper hat sich wohl schwer verletzt bei denen. Demnach wĂ€re Given sicherlich der ideale Ersatz.

[McCeltic]

Anscheinend möchte Big Artur Florenz im Januar auch schon wieder verlassen.

[danrik]

gut, dann holen wir Boruc UND Given

[Bhoy]

Anscheinend möchte Big Artur Florenz im Januar auch schon wieder verlassen.

Pp ;-)

[danrik]

Die Roma will Given haben, aber er will nicht nach Italien... Da Arsenal, Newcastle und Fulham alle in der EPL spielen, und Mancini ihn nich an einen Konkurrenten abgeben will, sind wir wohl ziemlich weit oben in der Liste^^

[McCeltic]

Newcastle und Fulham sind sicherlich keine Konkurenz fĂŒr City. Mal sehen, was sich da ergibt.

[danrik]

naja, ich glaube mit konkurrenten meinen die einfach teams, die in der gleichen Liga spielen... Given an Fulham abzugeben hatte Mancini ja im August auch schon abgelehnt

CELTIC are still on the trail of Ireland under 21 striker Paddy Madden according to Bohemians boss Pat Fenlon.




The predatory frontman, who had a spell on trial at Parkhead earlier this year, played against the Bhoys in Sunday's friendly in Dublin which finished 4-1 to Celtic.


Fenlon told Dublin paper the Evening Herald that talks with Celtic regarding his star striker were ongoing but that he was keen to keep the player at Dalymount Park.


He said: "We're still talking to Celtic but nothing has been agreed.


"Any deal has to suit the club and suit the player. If it doesn't suit Paddy or Bohemians it won't happen. I don't want to lose Paddy, I want to keep all of our players."


Record Sport revealed two months ago that the Parkhead club were keen on the s100,000-rated frontman who is highly rated in his homeland.


Madden's season burst into life in June when he scored nine goals in five matches to win the Irish League player of the month award.

Man City outcast Shay Given ready to jump through Hoops for loan move to Celtic

MANCHESTER CITY keeper Shay Given is ready to say ‘yes’ to a romantic loan proposal from boyhood heroes Celtic.

The Eastlands outcast was stopped from joining the Glasgow giants during the last transfer window, but the Republic of Ireland No.1 has now been told he can leave.

Celtic desperately need a fresh keeper capture, with Newcastle loanee Fraser Forster due back on Tyneside in the New Year.

Given, 34, could fill his gloves at the start of January, if Celtic are willing to pay a chunk of his ÂŁ90,000-a-week wages.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon wanted to take Given at the start of the season, but City’s money men blocked the move because they could not find a suitable replacement.

But that situation has now changed and Given would fulfil a lifetime dream by joining Celtic on loan, ahead of a reunion with his ex-City boss Mark Hughes at Fulham.

Given was released by Celtic as a kid, his wife is from Glasgow and he is a close friend of Parkhead coach Alan Thompson.

Celtic took Robbie Keane from Tottenham last season and Irish backer Dermot Desmond would put his hand in his pocket again to land fellow countryman Given.

Forster, 22, has done well for Lennon, but with Magpies No.1 Steve Harper injured, he is likely to be recalled by Newcastle.
