Our players can choose to play for a huge club with middling wages or move to a middling club with huge wages. I’m not sure which counts as a big move these days.
When measuring anything there are many ways to do it and not everyone will agree but surely it’s time to stop denying that almost every EPL club is now bigger than celtic in many ways?

What’s the biggest building in the world? Do you measure by height (why not number of rooms, or volume, number of floors?), if so to the top of the occupied floors or do you include unoccupied floors, aerials, masts etc - there are many disagreements and disputed lists you can read about online

Same with what’s the measure of the biggest club
Number of attending fans? Number of global fans? Size of stadium?
How about cumulative viewing figures including opposition?
Squad size, number of employees, wage bill?
Number of trophies (isn’t that ‘most successful’ club?)
Number of companies (disputed title holders: Sevco with 2)
What about global TV or online viewing figures, Facebook followers?
- I bet all Scottish teams lose out on that

Edit: I looked up a few measures where Southampton are way ahead
Celtic FC e.g. MAX viewing figure (0.5m Mar 2018, 0.27m in prior Sevco match), Southampton AVE figure 848,500
Celtic FC 1.6m likes on Facebook, Southampton have 3m
Celtic FC market cap £162m (today), Southampton valuation (2017 takeover) £200m
Celtic FC turnover 2018 £90m, Southampton 2018 is £180m

How would Southampton's figures look if they played in a country of Scotland's size/population/TV exposure? And how would Celtic's look if we played in a country of England's size/population/TV exposure?

In that, I think you'd have you're true answer on who the really big club is.
All of this is irrelevant. He might just move to the premiership to use them as a platform for getting a bigger move. Doesnt matter a eff what size the club is or isnt.

More talking about the argument of club size from the post you quoted, than your response.

I think he's better now than he's ever been. His touch has improved so much and he now looks very comfortable playing with the added muscle mass. He's pretty much doubled in size since he came to us. A unit.

Just saw the big man at Euston. Bottled speaking to him. Two suitcases! Probably just one of his regular visits back here.

Be cool to see a photographic comparison, I seriously doubt he's anywhere close to being double the size since he signed.
I think he's bulked up in attitude & now feels confident enough to bully defenders much more.
He has put on more muscle, but I reckon mindset has more to do with it.
Totally ragdolls defenders now.

Would've been even better if he'd spoken to him in an aldo/shoe style.

Check a picture of him in his 1st hun game where he sent Senderos off a cliff edge and compare him to the Dembele that played the Cup Final. Hasn't doubled in size but he's bigger and a different player.

Doubled in size is obviously a slight exaggeration but the difference in his physique is not mental.
