    He's bound to feel discouraged if they call him Tom.

    I doubt any announcement will be made until they get clearance from Belgian FA.

    What's a fax machine? You must be really old @Swisdom

    The fax machine is that piece of equipment that sits next to the Telex.
    Sad thing is I remember when both of these when telexs were in regular use and faxs were the new thing in communications.
    I remember pigeon post.....

    Snail mail!!

    One thing about the Tony Watt deal is why it wasn't done at the beginning of the season ? TW was getting nowhere at Liege and it would have benefited from being moved at the start of the season / pre season. Then given a few months for him to build fitness and see if he fitted it in. Now he has got to build fitness and fit into the team which could take a couple of months at least, if it works at all.

    Not happy about the way RD is organising player movement it appears to be very amateurish and shambolic.

    According to Wiki, "On July 28 2014, he signed a 5-year contract with Standard Liège with the Belgian club paying a reported £1.2m to Celtic for his services".


    We see that he signed for SL at the end of July, presumably to play in the Belgian top League after his successful spell with Lierse - so it was unlikely he'd be pushed out straightaway on loan to Charlton.

    And once the summer transfer window closed, no loans from abroad would be permitted.


    Can't blame Roland for that.

    I heard the delay was because they'd run out of Tippex.

    They will announce it on the same day as Church goes to Millwall. One in, one out.

    He has played nine times for the Scotland U21 side, scoring five times and will wear the number 32 shirt for the remainder of the season.
    Have we retired the number 9 shirt or something?

    Given No 32 shirt - does that mean we will still be getting in a forward for the vacant no.9 shirt?
