Somebody is up bright & early today.
Logged on here expecting the usual sh11te and I find this positive hopefully good news story. Don't know where the info is coming from but hopefully on the money.
A great wee boost before the season starts next week. Of all the goalie's we've been linked with he's the one most would want to see signed to compete with Bain.
Off out for a day's toil shortly with a spring in my step. Happy Friday everyone.
Fingers-crossed!
Disappointed that Big Fraz isn't coming home but this guy, who played against us in the CL qualifiers, is apparently decent.
Buying a player for a position we need filled, what is going on?
I approve of this signing
Yup good signing (if and when we get it done), now announce Eddie contract extension, quality LB, CB and striker and we should be good 👍
Interesting to see if Griffiths is involved in a friendly this weekend.

BIRMINGHAM CITY have taken the decision to retire the number 22 jersey after 17-year-old Jude Bellingham left the club for Borussia Dortmund this week. After 44 appearances. And four goals.
From a Scottish perspective, we should be grateful really. Whenever one of our southern brethren now ridicule our game or label it ‘tinpot’, the mere mention of the teenager’s name will render their argument meaningless.
All the best to the young man, but gestures like this should be reserved for true icons and legends, men who have dedicated the best years of their career to a club.
If Celtic and Rangers for instance didn’t retire the respective shirt numbers of the likes of Billy McNeill or John Greig, then what has Bellingham done to deserve the honour apart from swell Birmingham’s coffers by around £20m?
As easy as it is to laugh at the move though, it also devalues the gesture for those who actually deserve it.

The Fook, thats mental 🤯
They've claimed it's because it will spur on other youngsters.
I get the feeling it's a move from a non footballing person.
Wee guy must be embarrassed
The Bellingham thing is incredible really. It's genuinely laughable.
Personally I don't like the idea of retiring numbers regardless of who they are. I'm sure we all grew up wanting to wear the same shirt as the player(s) we idolised.

To be fair, I'm not entirely sure that's how it works
What I'm getting at is that you and all the Celtic fans on here probably grew up wanting to wear the number 7 jersey for Celtic.
If they had retired it after Jinky/Larsson etc then I think there's something quite sad about that and you're taking away a (small) part of those kids dreams.

Frazer Forster to be let go among a number of other players from Southampton according to some reports this morning. I suspect he has another PL or championship team lined up
Henderson got FWA award. Fs
Alexander Arnold should've got it
We're witnessing the new Dani Alves, potentially better

Broke his own record for number of assists from a defender.
I'm struggling to see past de bruyne though. Class act
