simon cox

we have had an offer off 750k turned down for swindon town striker.


Parkhead club bid £750,000 for striker * - Scotsman.com Sport

 

ooooft superb just the man we are looking for :icon_mrgreen:....................... or not

 

Just cause he plays with Swindon, people judge him, with some of the goals he has scored this season am sure that man will make the step up quite easily.

 

Its not the fact that he plays for swindon its the fact that we should be setting our targets higher than simon *

 

Well mate av seen alot of that guys goals on sky this season and they aint tap ins.

Him or fletcher? not much of a diffrence.

 

well all ive got to say is if simon * should not be the targets we should be aiming for we have been after mark janko for ages and is a goal scoring machine hes the kind of players that are wearing the hoops not *. plus i would rather have fletcher than *

 

I think I just came. I'll be getting him on the back of my shirt, definitely.

2 million? * off. 2 million could get you a top class European striker.

 

so a take it thats a no thanks

 

Is he a similar kind of player to Ross McCormack or Derek Riordan?

 

This is our level unfortunately lads. Do you honestly think the board is gonna shell out 9 million-odd for Janko or someone similiar?

While we're on the subject, has anyone seen anything of the lad other than a statistic that says he's an excellent goalscorer in austria? How do any of you know he is the kind of striker we need? Look at afonso alves is all i will say.

Give me a hungry, talented young striker ala * over some expensive has been of a big name here to pick up a retirement fund any day of the week.

 

Why do we insist on going back to england for players time and time again? Strachan is being an absolute hypocrite, stating on many an occasion that we can't compete the money down there is on a different scale blah blah, so why the * do you keep going back?

Has he ever heard of European footballers? *!!!

 

However, Celtic face competition for the player's signature from Leicester City

I think this sentence sums up the boards ambition.

 

Jesus wept.
How long are we supposed to put up with this?
Do we even want to get better??

 

just another one of strachans * ups... simon * *..... barcelona/real madrid/united etc. are all craping themselves

they dont want the likes of vidicor puyol up against *

it was the same last year with laughable.. only we were lucky the huns bought him

 

I won't pass judgment on this guy since I haven't seen him play at all besides the casual youtube video. His goal scoring record is quite good though and I suspect he can't be that bad. If we could get him cheap then it would be good business, but I'm not sure 2m is a realistic price tag for him.

 

lets just let the board drag the jersey through the * and then tell the whole world about it - we are trying to get a player along with lessta

 

I never heard of he guy until we were linked with him a while back,good goalscoring record would be ok for spl but is a 22 year old wih no top flight or european experience what we really need at the moment?

 

Celtic told double or nothing in bid to land Swindon striker Simon * | Mail Online

Swindon Town warned Celtic they will have to double their offer to land prolific striker Simon *.
Sportsmail understands that the Parkhead club approached the League One side with a package worth around £1.2million for *, plus teenage central defender Sean Morrison.
With a raft of English Premier and Championship clubs also interested in 36-goal striker *, however, Swindon rejected the proposal before slapping a £2.5m price-tag on the pair.
Chairman Andrew Fitton believes Champions League football would be a fitting stage for 22-year-old *, in particular.

Wanted: Celtic are keen to land Swindon's prolific striker Simon * but have been told to double their bid if they are serious

Adamant that he is in no rush to sell a player he signed for just £200,000 from Reading last summer, however, Fitton said: 'We value Simon at £2.5m. We have made no secret of what we think his value is.
'I'm not surprised Celtic's interest is not going away because Simon is a class player. We have had two approaches from clubs, but nothing in writing.'

Celtic have yet to declare their hand on the future of Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, with PSV interested in taking the Dutchman back to his homeland, but interest in * suggests there will be places up for grabs irrespective of this weekend's SPL climax.
'There is interest from one club in England. But what they cannot offer the player, unlike Celtic, is European football and playing in front of crowds of 60,000,' said Fitton.
Celtic have also enquired over 19-year-old defender Morrison.
Swindon recently had a bid of around £80,000 for Celtic defender Scott Cuthbert - who is on loan at St Mirren - rejected and a swap deal for the duo remains an option.
Another Parkhead loan star Paul McGowan, meanwhile, has warned Hamilton teammate James McCarthy to think carefully before holding out for a move to his boyhood idols.
Target man: Hamilton rejected Celtic's bid for rising star James McCarthy

Celtic bid £500,000 for the Hamilton prospect last week and are expected to return with an increased offer after manager Gordon Strachan confirmed his interest in the player.
McGowan fears McCarthy could struggle for first-team football at Parkhead, saying: 'James is young and needs to be playing football. It certainly wouldn't be a bad thing if he stayed at Hamilton.
'I'm sure he is good enough to make it at Celtic but it can be difficult - you just have to look at what happened to Derek Riordan.'
Meanwhile, Celtic coach Neil Lennon assured worried fans last night that Scott Brown should be okay for Sunday's vital home clash with Hearts - and allayed fears that he may need surgery.
The Scotland midfielder has been struggling with an ankle injury and was substituted in the closing stages of the 0-0 draw against Hibernian at Easter Road.
But Lennon told Celtic TV: 'Scott should be ready for the weekend, but he won't do a lot this week.
'He has had an ongoing ankle problem, but he had been getting through okay, although he struggled a bit in the last 20 minutes against HIbs.
'Hopefully, after a week's rest he should be OK. I wouldn't have thought it would go as far as an operation.
