Bizarre attack on the boy :nono:
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. :)
My wife’s cousin still stays with his maw and da.

I think that’s how he can afford it :lol:

He’s a cracking lad and gets me on his bus for away games, when I can get to them. :)

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.
It is a step up but hardly a massive one. If you sign for Ajax you get to play against Feyenoord and PSV. If you sign for Celtic you can play against Rangers. Are Gronigen and Alkmaar that more attractive than facing Aberdeen or Hibs ? Because of the lack of physicality in the Dutch league a number of players are now struggling when they move to one of the big 5 Western European countries.

Ajax can point to getting to the Europa Cup Final in 2017 but Dutch clubs record in Europe over the past few years is hardly stellar. Yes, its a better league than Scotland but the players going there are NOT out of Celtic's current price range.

I genuinely hope that if this boy signs he is a success. But I think its a big risk and a totally unnecessary one when we are flush with cash. And it would really beg the question of why we bothered hiring Congleton.

We probably took a similar risk with Craig Gordon and that worked out well enough.

Hartson failed a medical at the huns but was also a good signing for us.

Risks can pay off.
Given our financial situation, is it a risk we need to take ? There were risks with Gordon given his injury record but my guess is that two years without playing for an outfield players means even more questions about their stamina and whether they still have pace etc.
It’s the smallest possible risk. No outlay, and if he’s fit and proves himself, then we get a very good player for nothing. If he’s not fit or doesn’t prove himself, then we won’t sign him.

Where’s the huge risk? :ponder:

You still haven’t said why you brought his place of work into it and it’s been pointed out folk will get things right and wrong re rumours. No idea why you’re focusing on him ?

I must admit I'm jealous of PTT managing to get to every single game.

I guess your man is jealous too, but choosing to knock him because of it rather than just admit it.

Listen mate I can say what I like with in reason no need to explain it to you but I will if you insist. I was just making the point the boy does not know anymore than you or I. He will have no real info do you really think anybody in a position at CFC feeds him info regarding Celtic . I have nothing against the boy he is just a fan like the rest of us good luck to him

Give it up ffs, the guy seems a decent tim whether he gets everything right or not.

Re the RB seems like a good idea to bed someone in to give PC Lustig some cover. If the guy gets back to where he was pre injury he could be a good option. I wonder if 3 at the back would work with him and KT being good going forward.

Why is it so difficult to believe (or accept) that some people who aren’t Celtic employees might pick up some inside gossip? :ponder:

We’re hardly talking about Watergate here.
