THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK
Life President⭐⭐
Anyway, Neil Lennon wants him back at Celtic. Tough choice. Does he go for the sleeping giant, or choose Celtic?

If there ends up being any sort of story to this then I'm concerned. I'm concerned about the wages and I'm concerned the first position we are looking to strengthen isn't centre midfield
Reckon I'm going out on a limb here by saying 'not a ****ing chance'
Probably nothing more to it than us letting him use our training facilities whilst he finds himself a new club. As a local lad, I imagine he’s come back to the area following his release up North, so we’ve probably done him a favour.
I’m almost certain his wage expectations are far more than we can ever hope to afford and given how signing Kightly has turned out, I highly doubt Ron will be that willing to sign another ageing pro with a patchy injury record on high wages.
Ron does love a big name signing to boost the old season ticket sales.
But he's surely been burnt enough times now to realise when to give the game up.
If this story has legs, I like Ayrshire will be more concerned about us spunking our minimal budget on a position which is arguably the strongest in the squad.
I agree Ron likes a big name signing and Hooper is the sort of player we’d go for ordinarily in that situation. Using geography and guarantees of first team football to get the deal over the line.
But Ron’s not stupid, whatever you think of him as a businessman. He knows that with everyone fit our strike force is decent at this level. I believe with the right supply line capable of getting us where we’d all hope to be next season.
I’d be absolutely flabbergasted if we ******* our transfer budget on another striker when our defence and midfield are in urgent need of repair.
The midfield won't change that much, if at all, as we have plenty of players in that position at the moment - maybe a winger as we lost Bunn, but then he was to cover Barrett.
So other than defence, we probably do need another forward, though it will depend whether Theo goes or not.
We need someone with pace and ability to be able to beat a man in centre mid
Couldn't agree more and no matter how old you are, you should listen to your father even if he's wrong.Echo just put an article out saying Bond not chasing Hooper return, thank ****!
Not surprised, it would be stupidity to try and have four strikers who would all expect to start every week at this level.[/QUOTE
Agreed but many on here slagged CP for not having that exact option.
