If this comes off it will mean Bowler will be off

 

[TangerineBayern]

Interesting one this

 

[Tons of Apples]

If this comes off it will mean Bowler will be off

A competent, creative player could fit in as well as Bowler does and be 'nearly' as effective.

 

[Superbretty]

Another young player, 20. Definitely going for the model of younger players who we can sell on. No problem with that.

 

[Trammo]

Moffat 2 first team appearances for Celtic.5 ft 8 ins tall winger. Looks like a young Mick Hucknall in some of his photos.

 

[Mogwai]

Must admit I had never heard of him before , but just messaged a Celtic supporting mate who was a bit surprised it might be a permanent deal as he is quite well thought of . He has scored quite a few crackers for their B team

 

[JJpool]

When it comes out beforehand permanent deals haven't happened, so I'll wait for official news.

Stuff has to start happening soon.... we have to get some over the line.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

If this comes off it will mean Bowler will be off

Plays off the left.

 

[BFC_BFC_BFC]

There’s not much of him

 

[NewburyOne]

Fits the type of player we need to focus on signing permanently. If we aren't up to the stage where we can attract league 1 players and someone in his last year at Rotherham. I have no issues with that but at some point we will also need to replace Keogh's experience, IMO.

 

[NewburyOne]

There’s not much of him

There wasn't much of Hoolahan either.

 

[Matesrates]

I’m beginning to hate these rumours and reports, every time they don’t come off.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Moffat 2 first team appearances for Celtic.5 ft 8 ins tall winger. Looks like a young Mick Hucknall in some of his photos.

Height means bugger all, Wes is four feet nothing.

Edit - Newbury beat me to it. I'll go with Bullock then, who is 3 foot 2.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I’m beginning to hate these rumours and reports, every time they don’t come off.

Completely agree, I still don't think we'll sign anyone else.

 

[BFC_BFC_BFC]

There wasn't much of Hoolahan either.

Yep…

 

[TangerineArmy]

What about junior bent he was smaller than Arnold in different stokes

 

[Matesrates]

David and bernado Silva

 

[Scaramanga]

I wish they would just announce one instead of the rumour mill Bullshit.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

Wont happen, we dont sign players that we have been linked with

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

Yep…

even less of Martin Bullock , I thought welsh Phil had snuck on as mascot when he first appeared

 

[Rotterdam+Sussex_Seasider]

What about junior bent he was smaller than Arnold in different stokes

Wotcha talkin' bout TA?

 

[NewburyOne]

Moffat 2 first team appearances for Celtic.5 ft 8 ins tall winger. Looks like a young Mick Hucknall in some of his photos.

Which fits with our current summer transfer window:

Money's too tight to mention

 

[hertfordseasider]

There’s not much of him

He needs to eat his curds and whey!!

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Going to Sunderland no doubt.

 

[NewburyOne]

Going to Sunderland no doubt.

Sunderland have just signed a Costa Rican International winger, so I guess that's them out of the running on this one.

 

[Always tangerine]

Having read reports on him, seems surprising theyd let a v promising 20 year old leave on a permanent deal .

 

[bollieboy]

Wouldn't have to be listed as part of the 25 man squad so makes good sense.

 

[Towerpower99]

Believe it when confirmed….not until.

 

[Murciaseasider]

If this comes off it will mean Bowler will be off

To be honest, Bowler is going anyway isn't he? I think most fans would be surprised if he stayed. I still have a feeling that Bowler's replacement will be Scully from Lincoln - the lad from Celtic may well have a squad place but will need careful management like most young players.

 

[Wizaard]

Height means bugger all, Wes is four feet nothing.

Edit - Newbury beat me to it. I'll go with Bullock then, who is 3 foot 2.

I'll go with Alan Wright who now gets work at Christmas in panto with Snow White.

 

[Supersub]

He has been likened by some Celtic supporters as the next Jimmy Johnstone. For us older ones who remember Johnstone from the 70’s, he was a terrific player. Small in physique but fast, tricky and exciting to watch. To be compared to Johnstone is quite some accolade. For those interested, there are some great video clips of Johnstone in action when you search him. Let’s hope this one comes off.

 

[Middxile]

So that’s Josh going then ?

 

[Shootz]

What about junior bent he was smaller than Arnold in different stokes

Wha' choo talkin' 'bout TA ?

 

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Massive step up in standard from playing for Celtic B to Championship football. I’m sure the lad is a talented prospect but if he is a Bowler replacement, those will be massive boots to fill for a young lad with next to no first team experience.

 

[20togo]

never heard of him but hope it comes off. Once again another rumour to get our hopes up, so I'll wait and see.

 

[Seasider3610]

Plays off the left.

That’s Laverys position

 

[Wizzerboy]

To be honest, Bowler is going anyway isn't he? I think most fans would be surprised if he stayed. I still have a feeling that Bowler's replacement will be Scully from Lincoln - the lad from Celtic may well have a squad place but will need careful management like most young players.

Scully may replace Bowler
Moffat may replace CJ
Just saying

 

[hertfordseasider]

I think these sort of signings are exciting. Would love to see the lad from the massive come in too and either Rogers or Scully plus and experienced midfielder and Lyons.

 

[Tangerine_Dream]

Going into development squad.

Wouldn’t say this impacts Bowler.

 

[Philbfctrois]

Going into development squad.

Wouldn’t say this impacts Bowler.

He wouldn't be going into the development squad at all he will be signed for the 1st team squad

 

[hertfordseasider]

Going into development squad.

Wouldn’t say this impacts Bowler.

No, he'd be in the first team squad, certainly not one for the development squad.

 

[Tangerine_Dream]

He wouldn't be going into the development squad at all he will be signed for the 1st team squad

Appleton has literally said it, according to Sean McGinley..

Development squad

Forgot you know more than people who actually have connections to the club, painful.

 

[TommyHutch]

So that’s Josh going then ?

I’d be surprised if this were to be a replacement - at 20 more likely to be development squad? At his age though would he count towards the 25?

 

[Bloomers123Be bop deluxe]

Stuff has to start happening soon.... we have to get some over the line.

Don't panic, don't panic!

 

[Tangerine_Dream]

No, he'd be in the first team squad, certainly not one for the development squad.

‘Certainly not one for development squad’

 

[Albert Ross]

There’s not much of him

He’s going under the radar, literally.

 

[TonyEllisTopBins]

He wouldn't be going into the development squad at all he will be signed for the 1st team squad

You absolutely love to see it

 

[Gods honest truth]

Has he got a fish pond

 

[Albert Ross]

I hope he doesn’t drink like Johnstone.
