Cardiff may Tempt old boys back.

Was on my CPC course today and had a good chat with a few Celtic supporters.
These guys were actual members of the supporters clubs and travel across the globe to watch the bhoys.
Whilst they were delighted in getting what they called "we'll over the odds" for Big Vic,they're concerned about losing their two welsh players should the hometown club come calling. I told them Matthews was originally from Swansea and they laughed,one of them saying "That's sorted he wouldn't want to return to that caravan site :lol:" which clearly warmed my heart.
They were full of praise for Ledders though. His work rate is second to none and always looks to get forward and chips in with a fee goals. They reckon if Cardiff offers £10m for the pair Lennon's hand would be forced.

They said that they were at the Algarve match and always had respect for the lads that went with the city,and they will be rooting for us in the Derby.

I asked them about losing Hooper, they seemed convinced Doyle was heading to Parkhead and they have a lot of expectations on young Tony Watt.


Don't normally chat with Tic fans as they can be nobheads but to be fair this group (40/50 yr olds) all seemed genuine and sound working class folk. :ayatollah:

£10m for ledley and Lennon would carry him from Glasgow to Cardiff. Lose a zero maybe.

Neither Matthews or Ledley are good enough to play in the Premiership.
