I wonder if there is someone in or around the first team that gives PTT info because we (Celtic) want it out there but not from an official source?

Hmmm, why would they do that? Negotiating tactic or just letting the fans know?

He’s know a lot of the players since their youth days. He is also friendly with a lot of fans and officials due to going to places like Russia and Kazakstan with the club. He will know more than most in terms of rumours.

TBF if the club wanted some info put out there that reflects what the club is actually thinking or doing perhaps they would prefer that the info came from a well known Celtic fan with a huge social media following than from the SMSM who have been known to make up piles of pish about our club/our fans/ and out potential signing targets!

At least they would know that the info they want out there would be put out there without bells added on!

EDIT: basically what MIK3Y said 15 mins ago :doh:

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
The Dutch League is definitely a step-up from the SPFL. I don’t think Belgian League is. Foreign footballers in the Netherlands can also benefit from a 30% tax free allowance.

I grant you that the clubs you cite seem to have better scouting networks but we do not, of course, get to see the dross they sign and the rejects. In the same way, we don’t get to see the fish that got away from Celtic especially those who have rejected us out of hand.

The manager and board have said that attracting players is a challenge so we need to be creative and imaginative. If Moses can get back to where he was and begin to fulfil his potential, he’ll be an upgrade on Lustig. It’s a risk of course but so is every signing.
It is a step up but hardly a massive one. If you sign for Ajax you get to play against Feyenoord and PSV. If you sign for Celtic you can play against Rangers. Are Gronigen and Alkmaar that more attractive than facing Aberdeen or Hibs ? Because of the lack of physicality in the Dutch league a number of players are now struggling when they move to one of the big 5 Western European countries.

Ajax can point to getting to the Europa Cup Final in 2017 but Dutch clubs record in Europe over the past few years is hardly stellar. Yes, its a better league than Scotland but the players going there are NOT out of Celtic's current price range.

I genuinely hope that if this boy signs he is a success. But I think its a big risk and a totally unnecessary one when we are flush with cash. And it would really beg the question of why we bothered hiring Congleton.
I would say so. The Eredivisie has 16 stadiums with over 10k capacity. Those 16 averaged >10k per game last season - most over 15k. The standard may not be brilliant, but it's far better than our top league, for sure. It'd be far more pleasurable to play at a full Euroborg than 8k in Rugby Park. Add 30% onto the wage, take away a fair whack of rain, and its paradise in comparison.

You've forgotten to mention Utrecht, Den Haag, Vitesse, Heerenveen, Roda, Breda & Twente, who would all usually be favourites against Aberdeen or Hibs. Twente, of course, had a shampooer of a season last year and have been relegated, but even at that.

No harm to the boy but WTF does he know he works in Asda
Cheap quips about a person’s place of work. You are a real class act
How the eff is it a cheap quip just pointing out he has a normal job like most of us and is a fan like us and it is very unlikely he has any important info . Your just too daft to understand the comment
You’re being so ignorant by inferring, that nobody who works in Asda would ever be privy to that type of information.

How do you know what he gets told on trips?

I have seen him talking with plenty backroom staff, players etc on euro aways. . . . . how do you now what he gets told and what he doesn't?
Come on to eff mate if he is getting told anything important then people should be getting their jotters, anyway as I said got nothing against the boy ,jeez some carrots are easily annoyed on here
If you think backroom staff etc don't talk about stuff to people then you are naïve in the extreme mate.

Celtic Tv tweeted a photo of him, in an advert for signing up for a subscription...
"Be like PTT & never miss a game", was the slogan - today.

He's as good an ITK as any & as his name suggests - a good Tim.

I'd guess the Club might like to feed him snippets of info given his social media following, rather than a pet a journo or whatever.

FWIW I think McGinn WILL sign, but I've no info whatsoever on these things nor ever will have.

Doubt we'll buy a LB. Will probably just play Marv or the 5 in the middle with Hayes or Sinclair at WB when KT needs a breather.
