Get this done, Celtic. Just get it done.<\/p>\n With Hull already nipping in and stealing Kevin Doyle from under our noses, we can’t afford to let it happen with somebody we actually would like to see at Celtic Park.<\/p>\n Thats the worry. The longer it drags on, the more chance there is of another side coming in and outbidding Celtic. Although that is assuming Finnbogasson would just go where the money is. Mind you, if the Scotsman website is to be taken as read, then its obvious why Heerenveen are stalling;<\/p>\n ”\u00a0Dutch side Heerenveen want \u00a35m for the player, while Celtic are thought to be offering \u00a3.25m ( sic ) ”<\/p>\n Manager Neil Lennon was pleased with the result and performance against Liverpool at the weekend, and rightly so. The fallen English giants were beaten by a team which featured nine changes from the Elfsborg ordeal, and perhaps the side isn’t as lacking in quality as first thought.<\/p>\n Amido Balde got his first for the club, and Lennon was happy with him;<\/p>\n ” Amido was immense. He gave Kolo Toure and Andre Wisdom all sorts of problems. He was aggressive, strong quick and took his goal great and that gave us a real platform. ”<\/p>\n Balde, of course, famously told Celtic fans they would forget all about Gary Hooper when he signed, has a long way to go yet, but there are signs that he might just make it.<\/p>\n Steven Mouyokolo also impressed in Dublin, and none of the youngsters looked out of place. The squad , dare it be said, is fine.<\/p>\n Its the first team that needs a boost.<\/p>\n A couple of players who are going to go straight into the side, and its hard to see why its been delayed. Maybe financial, or maybe the management are having doubts…<\/p>\n It is not difficult to understand a certain amount of deliberation over players, and it is astonishing how a player, such as Finnbogasson has become suddenly so crucial to our season, when few of us even knew he existed just a couple of weeks ago, but from being \u00a0relatively unknown in the Dutch league, the Iceman has suddenly become the new Larsson, without any of us actually ever having seen him.<\/p>\n Hysteria ?<\/p>\n Maybe, but with Lassad, Miku and Bangura all flopping at Celtic, maybe there is a good reason to take out time. After all, its not like theres much competition at this stage. Only Werder Bremen have made an offer thus far, although there will be a few more watching him this week play for his country.<\/p>\n Celtic have until 11pm tonight to sign anyone that they want to play in the Karagandy game, so there may be some movement. One rumour, from twitter, so it must be true, is that no-one wants to go to Khazakhstan, which is why he is stalling.<\/p>\n Anyway, Paddy Power have a new advert out, and it goes under the heading of Ball of Shame, and its annoying me, as I can’t quite remember the name of the ground at the beginning.<\/p>\n![\"green](\"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/green-5.jpg\")
