PASTA Mick Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 10 minutes ago, Mox said: It's a ridiculous signing, developing a player for Chelsea who will then benefit when they decide to sell him further down the line. Our recruitment over the last number of years has been patchy at best and i've seen very little to suggest it's improving. Patchy at best? We signed the world's most expensive defender. Dembele has potential to be very good, as does Ntcham. Sinclair, Roberts, Armstrong...all good signings. Sure there are a few that haven't worked out but we haven't lost much money on any of them. Bringing top players to Scotland is very, very difficult. I think we do okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Mox, you must’ve been on suicide watch for the entire 1990s. Celtic apparently chasing Motherwell keeper Trevor Carson, from a “staunch” family from Northern Ireland by all accounts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the young kid a go rather than drafting in the well keeper. He’ll only sit on the bench in all honesty so shelling out £3-400k is a ridiculous strategy.

I get why some fans don't like these deals but whatever the rights and wrongs of them they're hardly biscuit tin stuff. 10k a week in wages plus the loan fee equates to £4.5/£5m over 18 months. Dunno what kind of biscuit tin you've got at home but I wouldn't mind a bash at it if that's what it's packing 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Alan Preston practically shot his bolt last night whilst talking about this latest Celtic signing. "best youth player he's ever seen" "chelsea managed to sign him but only if Chelsea signed both his brothers from anderlecht too" apparently chelsea did agree to that "future £60m player" "24 clubs wanted him" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Celtic are as good as any side to gain experience? Pressure to win every week, OF matches with hot atmospheres, a winning mentality, european football and potential for CL football next season. Strange for any celtic fans to be so negative about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about any of our players I've not seen enough of him to judge but he is arriving with more top level experience and hype than any of Roberts, Ntcham and Dembele had. I think he will be a good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Even the Daily Record can't believe the sh1te they are printing about Morelos. £7m?!! An unnamed club again...shades of Barrie McKay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) From BBC Sports - the Express !! could be crap Chinese Super League club Guangzhou have made a £6m-plus offer for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, with the Glasgow club looking at potential replacements should a deal be struck for the 21-year-old Colombian before the close of the transfer window on Wednesday.

It is, £5.3m inital bid was declined and they have come back with a second offer of £6.5m which is under consideration. The decision is going to be left with Murty and Allen and a list of suitable replacements is being drawn up and only if the club feel they can replace him will they accept the offer.

Who knows, I felt leaving out "according to Twitter" of my post might generate a bit more of a discussion. I hope we don't sell him, I don't think we have seen the best of him yet would love to see him and Cummings up top together.

I really hope if its turned down that the huns pay him wages that reflect a £7m+ player. After all, that's the logic some of their fans used when we turned down £125k+ plus pie in the sky add ons for Jones!

DoonTheSlope Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Richard Wilson (@timomouse) Just to confirm that this is utter BS - The Record link him to Guangzhou. There are Two Guangzhous in the CSL and BOTH are already at their limit of 4 non-Chinese players in the squad. Neither could buy Morelos. Richard Wilson (@timomouse) That took 2 minutes research. That’s 2 minutes more than the Record bothered to do. Edited January 30, 2018 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 And according to The Sun it's a different team completely. I'm assuming the inflated fees quoted are because it's been converted in to Dembele Dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
