Thread: Lennon trying to sign Bellamy

When'd he say that? I didn't hear

Though I seen on Celtic underground's twitter that Liewell said that they will sign someone fit enough to wear the number 7.

nah, don't think there's a thread been made mate. Pual said something about Lennon saying something about not ruling it out when a SSN interviewer asked him about Bellamy coming to CP.

Personally i would fucking love to see it happen. It would ignite the support and he would give us what Keane gave us for the latter part of last season - someone who can score goals! Like i said in the earlier thread though, it's all going to depend on how much he is going for. If it's for 6/7 million then the only way the board will go for it is if it's a loan - they wouldn't fork that amount of money out on a 31 year with no re-sale value. Or if he was going for 3/4 million then hope he takes a wage cut and signs cos we'd get another 2/3 maybe even 4 seasons out of him.

Lennon just about to come on SSN talking about Bellers in a few minutes btw

Would love it, but if we're short of cash (as Lennon stated today) then striker is not the position we should be looking at.

I would much rather we bought quality at the back.

Pity he put all his striker eggs in one basket by signing Hooper and Murphy, no more strikers needed imo.

Would love Bellamy back.

Not getting my hopes up though.

This is all we're getting from SSN

Celtic boss Neil Lennon is remaining coy on speculation linking the club with a move for Manchester City star Craig Bellamy.

Bellamy's future at City looks uncertain with Roberto Mancini bringing in David Silva already this summer and with Mario Balotelli possibly arriving from Inter Milan it could push Bellamy down the pecking order at Eastlands.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed his interest in Bellamy, while new Fulham chief Mark Hughes is thought to be keen on being reunited with his fellow Welshman at Craven Cottage.

However, Celtic could be about to enter the chase for the former Newcastle and Liverpool forward.

Bellamy enjoyed a spell on loan at Celtic in 2005 and Lennon has refused to rule out a move for his former Bhoys team-mate.

"I wouldn't like to say anything at the moment," he said when asked about reports of a move for Bellamy.

When asked whether the club were in a position to pull off that sort of transfer, he replied: "I would hope so but I don't know. It's still up in the air regards that."

Hopefully get em back playin for the hoops

Oh God I would jizz - cant see it happenning though

With Fulham and Spurs sniffing around I just can't see it happening tbh.

It would only become a reality if Bellers actually wants to come here and take a wage cut.

If its just a straight shootout between us and Spurs and Fulham then we've no chance.

I honestly think he'll come mate. He's stated that he has unfinished business up here and also that he doesn't want to sign for another EPL team. That coupled with the fact that he was Lennons old team mate is what i think will sway it in our favour. It's just going to be a matter of will the board fork out the cash if City don't want to loan him to us?

Yes, this is also my thoughts. Would be a super signing however...for most teams!

Bellamy, playing where Samaras was last night would be unreal in our League. I don't see him as a Hooper/Murphy type player.

Bellamy loved it here loved Celtic. I think if the right offer is made to him he wouldn't have to think twice about it.

believe it when i see it, lennon seems to say things we all as fans want to hear, his first words when he was appointed manager was ' i will not give up the fight for keane , he's a player i want by my side and he's ones the fans want' look how well that worked out

its not lennons fault i realise that but he really needs to learn that we as fans are use to the crap the board keep doing and by him building up our hopes for nothing just makes it worse

Spurs bid 8million i hear.

It,s a couple of fucking full backs we need most of all IMO!!!

I take Lennon's comments as "I'd like to see him here but I don't know so I'm not saying anything".

brilliant player - won't happen

City won't sell to Spurs as they're CL rivals, and it's not as if City need the money.
