Saint Scott

Over £40m is absurd for his achievements to date, but I guess relative based on academy players going for vast amounts this summer

Some quotes from Adam Blackmore regarding O'Riley, Carvalho and the GK situation: “I think Southampton would like to get him [Fabio Carvalho] AND Matt O’Riley, not one or the other.” “[Southampton’s pursuit of] Matt O’Riley has become stuck, with Celtic not exactly being quick to respond to communications.” “Maybe Brighton are interested in O’Riley. I think O’Riley’s happy to come to Southampton. I think Celtic need to get on with it.” “There’s some good experience out there. They [Southampton] want a goalkeeper, yeah.” “Southampton want to get a couple of things done - in and out - in the next week.” Listen here

The echo reported on our pre season trip that Lis will be going out on loan and another keeper will be brought in

This. The twitter meltdown is comical from some of our fans. They have supposedly just opened talks with Celtic from what I have seen. It's not as if a fee has been agreed and he's on his way for a medical. RM will be a pull for O'Riley if both teams end up having bids accepted

Third kit released on Wednesday

Thanks for the info. Let's hope we can pull it off and a number of members on this forum can then do the same. Kleenex at the ready

Credible information or wishful thinking?

He won't be going anywhere with Ederson likely to end up in the Middle East this summer

The Daily Record are reporting Charles has rejected any move to Celtic. If true, it's a shame as it would of been a great sweetener to get O'Riley over the line and a chance for Shea to get some decent minutes

His medical was yesterday I believe

Shares an agent with Flynn Downes, let's hope the talks went smoothly. Loan seems the only likely possibility for us and a PL shop window for Moukoko

⚫️🟡 #BVB -Talent Youssoufa Moukoko (19/ 🇩🇪 ) should and wants to leave. The statements from agent Patrick Williams were clear. It is still unclear whether it will be a loan or a permanent sale. This will be discussed in the next few days and weeks - depending on the club and the situation. According to Sky Infos, Girona, Betis Sevilla and Real Sociedad as well as Southampton and Rennes are among those interested in the talented striker. Other clubs could get involved... The young attacker wants to play in the new season - and preferably outside of the Bundesliga. A move to FC St. Pauli is out of the question. @SkySportDE

I'm doubtful Atalanta can afford O'Riley. Three rejected bids with an increase of only £0.7m from their second to third offer. (£14.3m - £15m +add ons) £20m should be enough for Celtic to accept, which should be well within our capacities

Great business at a low price! Feels more like the wide option RM mentioned, but with flexibility to play 9. I still fancy a marquee signing to come in to play as the 9, if we manage to get O'Riley and Ramsdale in on it would be an excellent window. Both are likely to have bigger suitors though

Not sure if it's been mentioned and it is only pre season, but I thought it was interesting Downes had the captains armband (again) despite AA coming on at the same time.

I imagine this just solidifies moving Lis back out on loan, which is a good thing. RM said there will be movement in the next few weeks with GK's and if one moves out they'll look to bring another in. Here is hoping for Ramsdale on loan

The trouble is the PL is a different beast now. We can't spend up to £20m any more, for reasonably talented AM's and CF's we'll have to repeatedly break our transfer record this summer.

Thank goodness for that. Now let's move on to better targets

KWP would be stupid heading back to Spurs. He won't displace Porro as the starting RB. Somebody like Villa would be a much better option for him IMO. I fancy him as a better player than Cash and they'll need strength in depth this season with CL football

I'd of thought they would want circa £40m

Fingers crossed there is legs in it. I guess from Alfie's end he may have no knowledge on this one, but that doesn't mean we haven't been in contact with Arsenal. It feels more of a romano exclusive than local journalist given it's them

Kelleher too

Alfie has stated in the comments he has no information if we are interested in Ramsdale or not. He's just stated if Ramsdale was available that he'd assume RM would be interested given his quality.
