Yeah bud, I've not had any other info to say it's not happening or that. I'm just hoping this Rooney thing that's been going around is also true, Stoke, Rooney, Murray would be some forward line.

Of course, a player can say they will sign and 11th hour pull the plug happened many times. Until it's done then there is always that chance. But as I've said from some of the staff at ER they are confident of this going through.

Adam Rooney to us is a strange one. Maybe Stokes has signed for Aberdeen?

[Craig_HFC]

Mate don't bother replying, many on here choking it falls through as they hate anyone knowing any info at all. I know couple of guys on here who don't post about transfers for this very reason.

Funny enough the thought did cross my mind when I heard Rogers on tv earlier bleating about having no strikers for the euro game.

Celtic a bit light on fit strikers , a no brainer for them to sign him for free.

cant see celtic going for him , rodgers wasnt a big fan of his

He's not played for months, if they wanted a striker, they'll need a ready made one for next Wednesday

No chance he'd be back at Celtic think he burned his bridges there with the higher ups, even if they did want him he wouldn't be eligible for Rosenborg anyway.

he'smot going to celtic . Rodgers has been quoted as saying he only wants to make 1 more signing , nae chance its going to be stokes

[Souter96Mac]

Although he'd be a cheap option for them, I cant see him fitting in with Rodger's plans. Could also see them being in a position whereby they'd be looking for better options with the expected cash inflow with Armstrong and Dembele maybe leaving.

[007]

The signing of the two Lithuanian lads means we've done some excellent business this transfer window and the jigsaw is almost complete.

Stokes is class, I'd surprised if we could get someone else as good as him so if we have to wait a bit longer on his decision then so be it. I trust Lennon to know when it is time to say a little less conversation a little more action please or its now or never.

Alternatively Archerfield, however I wouldn't call the big house a hotel as such.

I'd be surprised if that's true. According to Paul Hanlon, Stokes is a very private person who none of the lads could really get to know properly.

Unlike Paul Hanlon it seems :greengrin
Sorry J.

Good for you.

Why are you extremely confident given that Stokes was at Sunderland for talks yesterday?

[Hermit Crab]

Would rather be Mr Poirot if you don't mind:aok:


Kojak is is better, since you look like Telly Savalas :greengrin

Because he probably got chased down the street for being a Celtic supporter.

[The Sundance Kid]

Quoting Paul Hanlon?

Yes. Sorry can't post link to the article but the article is called 'Anthony Stokes the man and the enigma'.

The passage in question says: "He did his own thing," Paul Hanlon told me, reflecting on Stokes' four-month second spell with Hibs. "He came in and did what he wanted. He never gave anything away and you never got close to him. But to be honest I didn't mind that. He'd done some stupid things in the past - like all strikers, really. But he wasn't a bad egg who brought the dressing-room down."

[BlackSheep]

Good for you.

And how do you know this?

[Speedway]

Because one of their directors lives 3 doors down from me.

[guthrie01]

If Stokes couldn't get a game at Blackburn Rovers don't see why Sunderland would be interested in him...

[BlackSheep]

Because one of their directors lives 3 doors down from me.

Well if that's true then that's that!

Sunderland have lost Defoe so will need a new striker... they can pay well over whatever we can pay and it's closer to home for Stokes than most English teams.

This transfer is like a rollercoaster!!

Here's a little heads up, lots of people talk ***** on the Internet

[MWHIBBIES]

Looking forward to Stokes failing again in England and being linked to us all next summer. No idea why English clubs keep signing him, he has a shocking record down there.*

*assuming the links with Sunderland have something in them.

Don't really see how this would possibly be true. Couldn't get a game for a relegated championship team last season. And already has a failed spell at Sunderland under his belt.

Was that before or after he signed the 2 year deal with Hibs yesterday? Assuming the absence of teleportation and a really ****ty set of advisers, I'm struggling to reconcile all the updates on his actions. And I have 3 PhDs.

Different club now... a lot of change in personnel in 10 years.

Just as Stokes is a different player now than he was 10 years ago.

[Bob Box Fish]

Watched the game yesterday sunderland are honking lost 5 nil to a Celtic second string. Lucky if there was 10k sunderland fans at the game. No quality in their team at all.

There is absolutely nothing on any sunderland forums about Stokes being in talks with them. Now either Sunderland are very very good at keeping info secret or its all made up nonsense as a wind up on here.

[silverhibee]

If he is not happy with the offer, I am sure we have done as much as we can, would be time to look elsewhere IMO

Sorry Baldy, went out after i posted that, as an example of how easy it is to post something and how easily folk believe it. :aok:

I dinnae get this place sometimes. Why when someone posts that they know something are people so determined to pish all over it. Unless you're accepted as being ITK whatever you say is picked at and dismissed. More cliques here than a high school locker room.

Maybe Stokes doesn't fancy pre season so if he signs a few days before 1st game of the season, he's had a nice long summer holiday and not had the torture of pre season training.

If he does sign then there's a chance we may have him match fit in time for the January transfer window.

If there's one thing I've learned about this deal it's that there's no such thing as an ITK poster regarding this deal.

Literally not one person knows what's going to happen and you can probably include Neil Lennon and Tony Stokes in that.

ITK posters hahahahahahaha, always cracks me up.

Exactly! By the very nature of this ongoing saga, Stokes cannae make up his mind so how anyone can actually know the outcome is stepping in to Mystic Meg territory.


Although saying that, I do believe certain posters will have heard things from reliable sources that have given their view of what will happen possibly based on what Stokes has said.

Do folk make up stuff? Probably. Are there a few posters on here who are passing on info they have got from what they deem reliable?

There are a lot of posts on here but I have still found it quite easy to read from the posters I feel have given us info they believe to be accurate.

NL could tell me we are signing Stokes, I could come on here and say have a vdry very reliable source. That deal could still fail even though got info from good source.

As far as I am concerned I trust a few peoples info even if at times wrong as they can only pass on what is told and how it stands at that time.

Other side is they could just not pass anything on.

I agree with this and have updated my post above to reflect it. I do believe certain posters have been told reliable things at the time and I'm sure Stokes has even changed his mind multiple times.

Its a fans football forum.. A lot of people talk crap , some people make things up , some people know things , some people believe anything they read, some people dont..

Anybody who finds any of the above annoying shouldnt bother with these kinds of forums. I like a good rumour as much as anyone but take anything with a pinch of salt
