Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon agrees new three-and-a-half-year contract after failed Chelsea bids Goalkeeper Craig Gordon has agreed new three-and-a-half-year contract Celtic prioritised keeping Gordon after rejecting two bids from Chelsea Gordon will put pen to paper on his new contract in the coming days http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4282712/Celtic-goalkeeper-Craig-Gordon-agrees-new-contract.html#ixzz4aQEgVaLU

I know I'm just going to get disapointed come the summer if I get too excited. So I'm just going to keep everything crossed we get him OR a very similar player to him. Do we think old vinegar tits will still be there next season? Allegri is sounding like the fave to now. It might change theur players minds/attitudes. I want him there as long as poss.

I do feel really sorry for the old boy. He comes expecting a new life with a dream club and gets multiple 2-3 min subs. Thats the thing that perplexes me. But apart from that Conte has the right to play the best guys for the team on the day. Hes obviously under the impression Bats just aint good enough in some way. Questions are will that change before the start of the new season? And If we dont sell him would he be content to be loaned out cause Id be long gone. Its going to mean us losing out money wise but it might make us keep everyone concerned in transfers to be on the same page in future.

It would be an amazing top 3 and would make us a formidible force And it would make the need of signing a top backup striker less urgent. Its not a signing we should penny pinch at as hes going to be a much wanted signing. Im not sure if Willian would stay around tho. Theres no doubting his loyalty to us but he may put playing in front of it.

Sounds like he had a great game today. Scored 2 today against Burnley Sorry cant find vids of goals Swansea 3 Burnley 2: Llorente double puts distance between Swans and the drop zone SWANSEA boss Paul Clement called for the introduction of video technology after Burnley were given one of the most bizarre penalties of the season. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/593698/Swansea-Burnley-Fernando-Llorente

But whats stopping us from buying the best back up that we can buy? Whats stopping us from using the 2nd striker at some time in the near future in a 3 5 2? Way I see it we either buy the best out n out striker we can buy who would be happy to push,fight whatever for number 1 spot or we buy the best RW we can and give them the freedom and let the front 3 swap places and roam around where they want similar to Eden now. I'm pretty sure we all had the thought of us going 352 when Bats signed up. It just never turned out that way. And tho I really like him as a guy I couldn't tell you much more about him player wise as when we bought him as we just haven't seen enough of the lad to make a gudgement. Conte obviously has.

No bruv. Cant see sweet FA been done about it. Mous golden boy is touchless right now and wouldnt get sent off no matter what UFC moves he did. All we need to do before the game to get the most out of the lads is show them this! We need to make a statement with this game cause you know damned well they will be doing all in their power to make the end of their season better than the middle of it. Lets make Mous head explode! Its a gotta be there game.

The only names I'm calling him now are good ones. Hes becoming the player we thought we was buying!

Lamps getting all mosh! Was great seeing the old boy again. Be even better with him and JT together somehow in a game.

Tell me this isn't exactly how you feel and what you do as a supporter when we score! I just love Conte doing it and also when Mou did it. That time he walked along to the camera pulling out our badge on his jacket and patting it I gotta say made me love the guy. But I betya Roman would do this too if they was watching it together! Now thats summet we need to see!

I'm shocked that Mou didn't blame us for the Ibra stomp! It was coming tho. After Ibra was practicing his UFC body throws on him a little earlier and all the nudges,little kicks and banter going back n forth. The ref let it go on too long. But theres no way on earth Golden nose is getting a red at home when Mous just said how much they rely on him. Now IF Conte said it about Diego the refs wouldn't give a toss. Like it or not Mous got refs running scared. Hes just totally escaped any questions about whether Ibra was guilty of foul etc by saying "'it' happens!!" 'It' happens because his player stayed on the pitch.

MIGHT be what B'mouth needs to stop Mounure but been hard on them so far.

Wonder if they still got the following they had? Just noticed the Mounure game is oin Virgin 12:30 on 517 SkySptsMix AND the Dippers v North Londoners @ 5pm so a couple of games. Of course I want B'mouth to go bonkers just to shut Ibra up for a bit. I know everyones knocking them and Klopp but I think the Dippers might pick themselves up again and squeeze their way to 2nd place.I cant say I'm fussed about the 3 other spots but Id have joy in my heart if 2 of Mounure and the 2 N. London teams dont make it Would make for a good weekend if Everton and Sunderland pulled off wins eh! Some on you mighty Black Cats!!

This is a report from back in Nov. Not purely about the Don but an interesting article View From Stamford Bridge: The Joy Of Training http://www.umaxit.com/index.php/columns/view-from-stamford-bridge-the-joy-of-training

THINK hes gome mate. Looking at it from his point of view I'd want to be somewhere who want me and need me to play. But then saying that Conte has brought back more players off loan than I can think of. I can see Christensen coming off loan but whether as a instant starter I'm not sure. Conte will have to gamble and wait to see how the first weeks in preseason goes or hes looking now for a LCB. One choice he needs to make.

I think thats just the back seam of his shorts mate It wouldn't suprize me if we tried for him with what N'golo said about enjoy working with him. But whoever we do end up getting he needs to be a regular scorer and be a choice of Conte to have his trust. Letrs hope Bats gets sold early on and we dont lose owt on him.

I like seeing him show his character.

I've got this history of walking/talking/having full conversations in my sleep which either scares my Mrs shitless or makes her pee herself laughing. Anyways I apparently sat up in bed during the night and shouted Mose get in son! And turned to the Mrs and said I knew he would hurt himself one day doing that fuckin sumersault! Now I aint no Mystic Meg but theres been times these things come true! Lets hope the flip comes off OK!! Heard chatter about some of the old faces might be getting togeher for a friendly gathering with some pikeys but seen reports that all the segregation problems are sorted now so dunno whats going on.

Whether we find a way to play and keep Cescy or not hes proved that what he brings us creativity wise we need a player that can bring it. With another creative,ball player as CB and couple of other upgrades we would be in a good position to hit Europe running., .
