i wanna be edouard
We don’t have to sell Moussa, to sign French Eddie.
Edouard signing may actually help Moussa stay around a bit longer as he,Nitcham and Edouard pal about together.
If another company offered me a job doing what I do now, and trebled my wages in the process I don't think I'd be in a rush to say "no ta, my pals are here"

Unless, you were already loaded and it wasn’t simply about money.

Plus we offer CL football - not always about simply money.

Enjoying your work is a major part of it

Bit disappointed we don't have this done yet. We had a set price to pay if we wanted him at the end of the season. He seems to want to stay too. The hold up in getting it done seems strange to me.

That doesn’t really apply to 99% of footballers though. It needs to be a pretty exceptional situation for it not to be about the money, and even then it’s usually still about money, just further down the line.

Well now you're changing the entire argument. There are things other than money that will entice a player to stay. My point is only that being pally with one or two others in the squad isn't that much of an influence.

edit : and in fact if you look at the Brazilians playing in Russia, or the guys going to China, it seems to be much more about the money than it is about the pals act

This is true but maybe becasue of his injury struck season he didnt or hasnt received calls from the tops clubs like he may have last year - So another year to re-establish himself at Celtic suits him best - He should stay :thumbsup:

Fair point but you do get exceptions to the rule - Dembele and Rodgers being the most current.

I do believe having Ntcham and Moussa here is a positive. I wouldn’t be as confident of signing him, if they weren’t.

Massive club
Fans love him
European football
French connection

I’m sure further down the line the big money will come.

It’s all good :)

Brazilians are a different kettle of fish.

Although CB mentioned the friendship being an influence, that wasn’t his sole belief in terms of the reason that Eddie will hopefully sign. A young 19 year old boy, making his first move abroad and having those players plus the likes of Boyata and Toure in the dressing room - must be an incentive

Dembele is here because he believes this is the best way to maximise his income over his career. He’s not here because he loves Celtic or the manager. That applies to just about every player. I’m surprised this is till being discussed in 2018. :lol:

It's a PR war.

The huns will parade their 3rd choice £3m defender from Brighton and boom, we'll announce our £7m-£10m striker.

I thought it was more about developing himself. He’s getting CL experience at a very young age.

He’d get more than 30k per week in England. Musonda is on 40k at Chelsea ffs :)

Don’t agree with that assessment

The truth is in the middle of your two assessments.

If we don't sign him, then it looks like the board have no desire at improving Celtic's status in Europe. He ticks every box, wants to be here and has a set fee on his head that PSG cannot mess with - there will be zero excuses if he's not here by the 16th.

He's getting experience of playing against teams like Man City when we play our 6 CL games. If he was at a crappy EPL team he'd be getting experience of playing Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. and that would be more than 6 games per season.

Not that you've done it but you can say "CL experience" and imply that playing against Man City in the CL is somehow superior for the player to playing against them in the league.

Yep - Dembele staying on for a bit longer will be short-term in any case - He is already minted and knows he will be mega minted beyond belief sooner rather than later so six months/a year in the scheme of things is no real big deal for him.

Tierney presently probably falls into the 1% but he is happy,wealthy and comfortable playing for his Club - I still think he will join the other 99% for a few years when and if we get to Ten - I alsoi think after that he may be back at Celtic but who knows that is all speculation as is the situation with Dembele.
