Efrain Juárez to Celtic

IT appears as if it is all done then, lads?

 

Think it is just a work permit needed to finalise it, but that shouldn't be a problem

 

Hope its a done deal then we just need a CB and a striker and if Aiden leaves another winger.

 

Oh, we don't need THAT much...

 

lol i dont normally log out here mate when im lowesd lol. went to ma bed at the back of 2 mind you lol:icon_mrgreen:
