They’ve BOTH just gone up in my estimation.
Good points. It is a weird one.
Especially as in the past I think the Argus HAVE reported us as being interested in Edouard. So to now say “STILL no interest” is equally odd.
If this transfer goes through their credibility does take a slight hit. But I’ve mentioned recently (no dig on their journalist credentials) whilst they’re our best sources, Naylor and especially Brian rarely break news? They tend to respond to news as it’s breaking. And honestly, I could say “no” to most names we’re linked with too and be right 90% of the time. Maybe we should try that sometime.
Exactly this! Great point. All may be revealed today/tomorrow. Let’s see how it pans out.

As in every walk of life, some are, some aren't. People do what they think they have to do to put food on the table. I once spent a very pleasant Saturday afternoon in a cafe in Amsterdam with Duncan Castles and Matt Scott (then of the Daily Star) during a pre-season tournament talking mainly about music and he's a very amusing guy. But that doesn't affect my view of what he has written about Eduoard, although I think he'd be a good signing.
What would the club have to gain by mis-leading Owen / Naylor? If we are interested, Celtic will know sooner or later because presumably we'd enquire. And you can imagine if we are interested, but don't want it being made public, it is more likely the players agent or Celtic make it known. And I'm pretty sure other clubs aren't going to be reading The Argus thinking 'shit we better move for Edouard before we lose him'
He'll be off to Brentford then......

It's a joke - Brentford are owned by the same man as Midgetland - Uncle Tony's nemesis Matty "Matthew" Benham.

Not that I think they would but to answer your question, it could be that they want people to think there is one target while quietly working on another under the rader.
It's not like the old Dick Knight days of needing to show we were trying - more often signings now come out of the blue with maybe only a day or two of 'notice'.

The clue is in the name of the team Celtic are playing in a friendly. They are owned by the Brentford chairman.
It’s not a friendly
The record reporting…..
“In terms out outgoings, reports south of the border suggest Brighton are set to make their £20million move for star striker Odsonne Edouard when the sale of Ben White is completed.”
Reports south of the border? I’d imagined that the info was leaked via Celtic folk or agents. They’d reported we’d already made our move yesterday with a £18.5m offer? Could be BS all of this. Hope not though.

Zamora was not the only case, or the most recent, just the most memorable because Naylor really went to town on putting it down to wishful thinking of naive/foolish supporters.
Definitely not a friendly. Very big game for Celtic - 2nd leg of a Champs League qualifier. (Currently 1-1).
Edouard would be a big miss for them. I suspect he'll play, even if we are in for him.
Let's face it, the club is tighter than a duck's arse and they will only be telling Naylor anything if it suits the club to have it in the public domain. He will be no more "in the know" than us on here.
I remain convinced that there are one or two on here who have better links to the club than Naylor does.
