    I reckon he'll be missed at Celtic, who's going to play the target man role now? Magic? Miller? Beattie? One of my fondest memories of the big man is his goal against Liverpool for the Bhoys, and putting it right up Dunphy who had written him off in the build up!!

    Jimmy Floyyd Hasselbaink it appears...maybe
    The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

    I liked the big guy, scored 100+ goals for celtic, including the Anfield one, the important away goal at Celta Vigo which set us on the road to the Uefa Cup final in 2003 + the goal which got us our first away point in the CL at the Nou Camp (though it was offside!!) plus numerous others that you need to secure 3 SPL titles.

    Best of luck to him at WBA. I hope we don't sign Jimmy FH, 34 years of age, not sure I like his attitude anbd think he flatters to deceive.

    We now have Riordan, Miller, Zurawski, Maloney, Beattie - all fairly lightweight, his priorities have to be in defence - will he even go for another striker??

    Come on Junior, be fair; Doherty's welcome at CP like anyone else if he stumps up the cash for a ticket...

    According to the Daily Record, Stilian Petrov may be offered to Man City in exchange for Barton. Take it with a pinch of salt though.
    Barton is up for sale, but I'd heard Boro were going to take him.

    categorically denied by Celtic (well that they have contacted MCFC at least)

    http://www.celticfc.net/newsroom/news.aspx?id='2006-07-05_1153JS'

    “We wish Stilian Petrov to remain at the club and this story is totally inaccurate.

    “We have had no call at Celtic Park from any newspaper to check the validity of this story.”

    Well, it was from that bastion of journalistic integrity, the Daily Record!

    Hopefully petrov won't attract a decent team and stays on. I would hope that he would only be looking at portsmouth as a stepping stone anyway.
    Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

    He's already at a decent team FFS!

    AFAICS his new agent has been instrumental in unsettling him. If Celtic let him go I hope it's not for a penny less than £7m. Having seen what some Premiership clubs will pay for frankly average players (Andy "Divebomber" Johnson for £8.5m? Puh-leese ) I hope that in this case the club sticks to its position.

    Hi paddy , i agree he's at a decent team !!
    trouble is this agent unsettling him
    if he has made up his mind to go then i would like to see him do well like henrik rather than do a burchill or a miller.
    An excellent season at pompey might get him into liverpool or united
    A few excellent seasons at CP have been ignored by the big EPL clubs

    Thank God for that. Celtic's 1st clean sheet of the pre-season against arguably the best team they played. A Mexican team which contains 6 of Mexico's WC squad. Still no goals though. A few players still needed.

    Don't want to put a dampner on a glimmer of light in these desperate times, but the draw could have been achieved by the skin of their teeth.
    From the sparse report on the BBC site.
    "But it took some heroics from keeper David Marshall to earn Celtic the draw."

    Was at the game. Other than Ireland-Egypt from US 94, it was the worst game of football I've ever seen. I wouldn't take too much heart from the clean sheet; both teams had so much trouble controlling the ball on the astroturf that there was hardly a decent move put together by either side. Everything was stuck in the middle third of the field. Two decent saves by Marshall, otherwise hardly a shot on goal.
