Exactly its his opinion based on eff all, the boy talks on social media like he is some sort of guy in the know
He goes to EVERY game - he will be in the know about some things.

He’s likely to pick up info out there. The squad all know him.
Plenty of fans go to loads of games cant see anybody in officialdom at Celtic telling a random fan what we are doing can you

In around 30 years Celtic have paid over 2 million quid for a defender around 4 times,Stubbs,Simunovic,Scheidt and VVD. Apart from the fact that defenders are generally cheaper in the market it`s the Celtic way to buy cheap defenders or look for bargains in that area. You`d swear some guys on here just started noticing that recently.

The moral of the story is avoid defenders whose surnames begin with S if you are spending money. The rest will be a mixed bag as ever.
Joos.

And Loovens, Hooiveld and Hinkel were all around the £2m mark.
Yep the fees quoted are thereabouts. Further proof with a few of them that it doesn't guarantee an increase in quality. Good players are good players, the fee or lack of it has nothing to with it. If this guy is fit he had a very on the up pedigree before his problems and maybe out of our grasp without the injury. He is also concrete proof we are actively trying to resolve a problem.

Agreed however I think the question is what relevance is the fact he works in Asda?

How do you think stuff gets leaked ffs?

My wife’s cousin goes to every game with him and he’s told me plenty. There’s people on here who clearly get correct info too.

Don’t know what your problem is with the lad? Mentioning he only works in Asda was out of order too.

The Bhoy spends his life and income following Celtic not just the First Team - He is a decent Bhoy and people generally like and take to him - He picks up snippets here and there - He gets some right and he gets some wrong (things change quickly in football negotiating) - When he gets it wrong he gets pelters.

remy took pelters for Boothroyd but got Edouard bang on - These things happen - It is no big deal.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt that your "Asda" comment was perhaps fishing as a whoosh but you were serious which was snidey,irrelevant and totally unnecessary.

Tbh the zombie effwits try to make his life hell and at times unsafe - He doesn't need Celtic supporters (if they are) having a go at him - If they don't like it as you say ignore it.

Ffs there is one on kds who picked up on twitter feeds and raced to be the first to post as if it was Gospel and he was in the know.

Some utter pish gets posted on here.. . .along with some good may I add.

PTT is in Austria, he surrounds himself with people either at the club or close to the club. Of course he is going to hear things coming out of the official party.

I'll take his tweet 100 times out of 100 before some of the jealous knockers on here

He's not a random fan, he's well in with the club, players and staff, he is 'in the know'.

Lots of huns were also having a go at him last week on twitter for working in Asda, don't be like them Teddy

The fact he does work in Asda makes it all the more impressive IMO considering the amount of games he’s been to.

Fully expected him to be a lawyer or something to afford it. :)

From what I saw of him, I think he will be a serious upgrade on Lustig IF he is over the injuries and I’d trust the medical team on that.

I have no idea about our scouting prowess (although I have my doubts about Congerton and, yes, we have signed a lot of dross over the past ten years) and I doubt anyone really has, but it is not as simple as you portray. Both Ajax and Anderlecht benefit from a more relaxed attitude to immigration for example and Ajax will benefit from being seen to be in a more competitive league and a more favourable tax regime. Our infrastructure and support may have the potential to make us European premier league members but right now we are firmly in the third division and rapidly losing touch with even the second division. That - in my opinion - is cold, harsh reality. Not what I want or like, but there you go...frankly, the sooner we leave Scottish football and join a European league, the better.

Haven’t there been some studies which have shown that spending money is no guarantee of success?
Ajax and Anderlecht have a good record of scouting across Europe something that we most certainly could do. I'm not sure that the Belgian league is anymore attractive than ours and the if the Dutch league is, its hardly a massive upgrade.

As I said we cannot compete with the Big 5 countries and the likes of Russia or Turkey. But spending 4 or 5 million on players should not be beyond us when we got 8M to £10M for Van Dijk in January, £7M for Armstrong if you believe the media and a likely £15M plus for Moussa.

A player with two years out injured is a serious risk in a position that badly needs upgrading. Hope I'm wrong but I really think we can do better.
The Dutch League is definitely a step-up from the SPFL. I don’t think Belgian League is. Foreign footballers in the Netherlands can also benefit from a 30% tax free allowance.

I grant you that the clubs you cite seem to have better scouting networks but we do not, of course, get to see the dross they sign and the rejects. In the same way, we don’t get to see the fish that got away from Celtic especially those who have rejected us out of hand.

The manager and board have said that attracting players is a challenge so we need to be creative and imaginative. If Moses can get back to where he was and begin to fulfil his potential, he’ll be an upgrade on Lustig. It’s a risk of course but so is every signing.
