Following on from that thread about how our press like to promote Celtic often at our expense if this was Celtic signing a player i t would be "Celtic sensationally beat Rangers to sign Premier League star". Somehow they've managed to make it a dig at us.

This looks pretty clear cut to me.

 

Weiss was being allowed to go out on loan to any CL team.

 

Therefore we had registered our interest, as did others including Timmy, when City started touted him about.

 

As soon as Braga wiped the floor with Timmy, they knew they could not get the player, and they were taken off the list of clubs that Weiss would be allowed to go to.

 

I love the way Lennon has turned that to "we showed a little interest, but then WE looked elsewhere" when the truth was that their embarrassing defeat to the Portugeuse minnows cost them any chance of sealing the deal.

 

I also love the way the Tims I have spoken to are quirte happy because there was a "huge loan fee" and that Timmy was not going to pay such things, until you remind them of Robbie Keane!!
