flecky76 0 Posted July 18, 2013 Perhaps, just perhaps, that''s why McNally knows we, in theory, are only bidding against ourselves? Is he playing a blinder? Well I still find it strange if an extra £1m would secure the deal why we don''t go for it, when we are so clearly keen on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,339 Posted July 18, 2013 McNally is either playing a complete blinder or is letting his pride/determination to pay the absolute minimum jeopardise a transfer it appears we could have done by now.At present I fluctuate daily between each view! At present I am in the camp that this development is all part of the plan but I see the whispers about West Ham as a possible fly in the ointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted July 18, 2013 FFS!I''d really like to see him here but this is getting beyond boring now. We''re not short of a few quid, if we really want just stump up the extra million and get him on a plane to California. If we don''t want him can we just f**king say so, so we''re not linked with him every 10 f**king minutes.Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The odds would change. Do you see what I''m getting at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted July 18, 2013 But nobody would put £1m on a bet unless they were convinced it would come off. Newcastle have actually been linked with Hooper pretty regularly since 2011, so might be something in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,299 Posted July 18, 2013 McNally isn''t the issue here, Celtic are - McNally knows that if he ups the bid by a million, they will probably demand another, and once again will go into extremes.Don''t forget he''s worked for Celtic, and he''s playing it based on well informed judgement and previous dealings in January.
