Guest Stephen927 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Couldn't see Celtic offering Owen that kind of deal anyways, it would unsettle the entire dressing room, I think I read that the highest earner at Celtic was on £25,000 pw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Who thinks we should try and get giles barnes and joe ledley? I would like them in the team. Barnes would certainly fit in well. I like the look of Ledley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Barnes we should have signed ages ago. I haven't really seen that much of Joe Ledley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 If it's true about Coloccini then fair enough to the guy. But do some fucking research before you move to a new club! :colo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Barnes we should have signed ages ago. I haven't really seen that much of Joe Ledley. If we had signed him years ago he would be at another club by now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Pretty sure Fulham have got Barnes at the moment on loan. Has he even got on the pitch for them yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Pretty sure Fulham have got Barnes at the moment on loan. Has he even got on the pitch for them yet? I don't think so. He's always had injury problems. For me, of the two mentioned, Ledley would be a far better bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Barnes is injury prone but he's more the type of exciting young English talent I was expecting us to target. Not fucking Nolan and Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
