Touched by madness? More than a few are.

Let’s make something very clear…we don’t like James the band, their music or their smug annoying faces. However, it’s a cheap pun for us to use and that’s always going to make it likely to be used.

The news that the proposed talks between Celtic and David James, said to be taking place today, have been postponed will leave many saying “I told you so.”

There has been a suggestion by some that James, like others before him, was using Celtic to drum up interest from other clubs. We don’t see that as the case, we hardly think the English number one keeper being available on a free transfer needs to drum up more interest in himself.

Some will panic and moan, others will point to the teachings of Don Draper and lecture about how you must always “seal the deal” but they key word, at the moment, is postponed.

Not cancelled, shelved, laughed at or shot down in flames, but postponed.

It appears to be a busy day at Celtic Park with Efrain Juzarez being unveiled at around 1430 and Gary Hooper looking to be on the brink of signing. All this and preparations for Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier against Braga may have really stretched Neil Lennon’s time.

Also, as David James got married yesterday, he may have one or two other things on his mind.

So….if Celtic can start talks with James on Thursday or Friday, there isn’t any real need for concern but of course, that’s a long time in football.

We’ve had some discussion about David James already and the opinion appears split so not everyone will be dismayed at this delay but with such a public courting of a high profile keeper, how will Lukas Zaluska react to having the spotlight back on him in Wednesday’s crucial match?

Also, what’s more annoying about James (the band)? The music or they t-shirts?
