So the window in England will close on Thursday 9 August 2018 and no player can be bought or sold after that point that is registered with any of the 20 Premier League clubs.

That might change our behaviour a bit in terms of shopping in England. Could also lead to an epic talent dump from the Premier League in the first week of every August.

We clearly want to be able to go up to 31 August or 1 Sept in every summer window until we know what UEFA tournament we will be playing in, if at all.

This is a pretty early article, but seems to suggest they can't sell either.

That says

'The vote was not unanimous and clubs will still be able to sell players until the end of the normal window.'

Am I misreading it?

That article says that clubs can sell up til 31st August.

I don't know why there would be a selling cut off, clubs can sell at any time as it stands.

The article has been updated and reworded since it was a 'breaking' story on the BBC site.

Si Ferry Meets...Scott McDonald Ep 1 - Growing up a Celtic fan, Southampton, 'Mental' Motherwell



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTKpmlcTXAA
McDonald splits opinion & he comes across as an arsehole on the pitch who does nothing but moan at folk, but by all accounts he's a nice enough guy off it.

He's unquestionably a Celtic fan though, he said in an interview on Sportsound that he was in the Celtic end at Ibrox for our win there in April 2005 :twitch:

McDonald is in the Hootsmon today pleading innocence over allegations that he was leaking dressing room secrets to his BFF Keith Jackson.

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/celtic/scott-mcdonald-denies-rumours-he-was-dressing-room-mole-at-celtic-1-4552738

An old boss of mine was also a very good friend of Jackson, a hun but a good guy. He was regularly invited to a pub/restaurant outside the north of the city to have dinner with Jackson and McDonald as three guys was easier to explain away than just a Celtic player and DR hack.

My boss wasn't shy about repeating everything he heard.


The wee judas can ram his protestations up his fat hole.

McDonald leaked more than the Titanic. Seem to recall him falling out with Mowbray, not long after Keith Jackson suddenly conjured up a lot of stories from inside the Celtic dressing room. It was noted, Skippy got punted even before Mowbray did.

So what because he's a Celtic fan he shouldn't celebrate? McDonald and his family are Celtic fans, and up to then that goal against us was probably the high point of his career (which hadn't gone to plan and resulted in him nearly quitting football.) He had every right to celebrate and "smile" ffs. Some right juvenile pish on this thread.

I quite like listening to McDonald when he's on Radio Scotland. Think he speaks quite well, and I like that I always know who's talking when it's him.

The eff is point in closing the EPL window early as players don't know whether they are 'coming or going' 'going to be tapped up' etc and then still allowing clubs to sell after the deadline?

Players are still going to be unsettled by rival bids from Europe, only now there'll be no means of bringing in replacements.

Any transfers too europe after the english deadline will come with a massive premium because they cant get replacements.

I don't know if folks on here listen to many football podcasts etc south of the border but I listen to a few and what strikes me is how much of an absolute pasting Arsenal get for the way they are being run etc.

Stark contrast to how one of our big teams are treated by the media, and by far a much more honest way of treating the fans.

Don't see how any CFC fan can be unhappy cos a guy celebrates scoring for his team, after all that's what he's getting paid for.
Much as I want CFC to win every game they play, I don't want to win because guys aren't trying against us!
By the same token I expect guys to try as hard against other teams as they do against us!
What winds up people are wee counts like Paton who kicks everything above the grass against us but plays like a pussy against the various collections of Huns and zombies :angry:

I guess so. It's not going to stop players going on strike though and sitting on a big transfer fee you can't spend isn't ideal.

Anyone see that winker Gordon Parks latest rant, 'Even Henrik left Celtic to hit true heights'

A laughably transparent attempt to be thought of as some kind of contrarian journo, what a halfwit.
