If it's TalkSport reporting it, then it almost certainly won't be happening. There's no need for us to bring in anyone else.

Appears to still be happening.

It could take a while, supposed to be a record amount of deal sheets in, and the BBC reckons there's still 10 signings to be announced in the Prem, so I imagine it'll be the same for the Championship.

One thing to note with Benson is that he is likely away with the Angolan team for AFCON. All of Angola's games are played within a week (22nd-29th December) but he would be away longer than that as they'll go out to Morocco a good time before the first game.

But if they're citing this Scottish reporter, they're just feeding back what Celtic are putting out there.

Celtic so far off what they were a few years ago. Scales has defended well but nowhere near good enough on the ball, Ralston, Engels, Nygren all very average - and a few years ago they had the likes of O'Riley, Jota, Kyogo. Rangers man marking McGregor closely, at which stage the likes of...

It's not, but he's being bought with the premise that he will have improved since he played the majority of those games and can and will continue to improve.

So I'm not sure your age, but in terms of being the worst first team striker in your life time, when was the last time a starting striker at Celtic would have gone to a club in our position mid-table in the Championship? The strikers your used to having leading the line for you, would never be...

And in terms of actual minutes played in the league in the last two seasons, it's 21 goals in 25.7 full 90's. A goal every 110 minutes.

I'm not too sure it has been put on hold. I can't really see them agreeing to the deal yesterday night, and then putting it on hold this morning. I think it's a case of Rodgers pushing the board to ensure they get a striker in themselves, and the journalist that is the source of this £7 million...

Sheehan's comments were made yesterday, before a deal had been agreed last night - and they're perfectly reasonable comments on a player we hadn't agreed a deal for.

Fair enough. Yeah I would say that sort of deal makes sense for everyone, we get the striker we want, at a price we can afford to pay with FFP. Celtic can publicise the fee with add-ons, and save face to their own support. I would imagine add-ons would either be based on promotion, or on him...

I'm not sure where you've got that 30 appearance, 8 goal stat? He scored 13 goals in the league last season in 35 games, he scored 8 goals the season before in 15. He isn't as bad as they'll be saying, it's a bit doom and gloom at the minute with them with them missing out on the Champions...

This is where I was saying earlier with the pressure on Celtic's board, as despite him not being rated at all at the minute by Celtic fans, had they say sold him for £2 million it would have looked embarassing to lose that amount of money on a player in one year. Even if they value him at...

I think with the O'Dea connection, the main thing you're going to get from O'Dea is a genuine reference to his character off the pitch which is an important part of it.
