Seen a few Hooper to Leeds rumours, surely not?

One of those fake "agents" on Twitter put that one out it seems. This happens every transfer window, don't know how some people actually still give these guys any attention.

already seen some websites where tickets for the Juventus game are popping up at 3 or 4 times the price. Shame.

Sad news today that Sean Fallon has died, had the pleasure of chatting with him before and he seemed an absolute gentleman.

The man who left his wife in the car waiting for an anniversary dinner to sign Kenny Dalglish
By all accounts he seemed to be a nice man.

RIP.

Not really the time for it
RIP

He will also be remembered among bears of a certain age for the help he gave in the aftermath of the Ibrox disaster. He was a true gentleman

Norwich bid for Hooper rejected

5 million was the bid, derisory offer. No way Celtic will part with Hooper in January with the Juve tie coming for a paltry figure of 5 million, they'd get at least that in the summer why would they sell for something like that right now. Celtic are in negotiations to extend his contract.

Paltry? He's worth 6-7 tops. The only player in your squad who could command a larger fee is Wanyama.

I can see this going through before the window, he's worth 6-7 tops but Lawell is exactly the guy who can squeeze a bit extra.

That's just like your opinion man. I regard a bid of 5 million as paltry, particularly right now in the January window. BTW Celtic don't need to sell, they can sell him in the summer if he doesn't sign an extension for that kind of money.

What players are worth that kind of money at your club right now, tops?

I'm aware Celtic dont have to sell, but teams in Scotland aren't in positions to hold out for huge money, and i include Celtic in that because of the stature of Scottish football, not because they need the money. Players aren't committing to spend their careers in Scotland, and a bit of pressure here from Hooper(more likely his agent) could see a deal done. Yeah he has Champions League, but playing in England and scoring will be much more noticeable to the national team and potentially a bigger move.

Its like Jelavic, like Hooper now, playing in Scotland he was worth half of what he would fetch in England, its a fact as much as we dont like it.

I dont see what relevance you have bringing up Rangers players now btw, silly point to make.

Celtic don't have to sell him in January, it will take a lot more than 5 million to part with him in January. It would be silly to sell him for a paltry figure like 5 mill in January when if they have to sell him in the summer they will get at least that for him, maybe more depending how Celtic and he does in the rest of the CL campaign. Also I'd imagine that other EPL clubs - bigger than Norwich - might start to show an interest and drive the fee up.

Besides I wont take very seriously the valuation of a Rangers fan of a Celtic player, if you don't mind.:rolleyes:

Why not do you think Rangers fans are incapable of putting valuations on players without the side show of the fact it's a tic player. Very closed mind there

Lennonist wrote: »

Well you're hardly going to overvalue him now are ya:rolleyes:

I just said he's worth upto 7, there's not a hope you'll get more than that if you look at it sensibly.

But you carry on rolling your eyes and i'll wait until fans that can have a debate post on the matter.
