No point saying why Everton?

The club will have a price if any club meets it - he’ll more than likely go. He will feel the club will be happy to let him go and will have taken the decision for him, then he’ll probably sign a 5 year deal worth about 90k per week.

I don’t see him digging his heels in and refusing to move to certain clubs.

Would be to our advantage if he moves to an Everton. We’re more likely to cash in on sell on clause when he eventually moves to a top 4 side.

We all want him here for the ten, I’m sure he does want to stay until then but he’s hardly going to say otherwise to any Celtic supporter that asks him.

We should be asking for 30m with 10% sell on.
i'm sorry m8 thats a load of rubbish... of course from his point of view if he left he should be very selective where he moves too.

celtic of course would take highest bid, for any player its about going to club that matches wages, ambition and do you want to live there.. if someone isn't fussy about that then they are really thick.

imagine moving from celtic for 25-30m to play for the second team in a city who haven't even won a derby game in what 7-8 years? who have no chance of top 6... who he'll be judged against andy robertson even more so and be viewed as inferior because he plays for the small club... and doing all that while moving for £25-30m with other clubs interested in you... as a move for him, everton is a mind blowing stupid move bc he can get that money anywhere in england.

simply put it reads either as BR warming us up to something or in the nice hotel and heat in Austria, BR has been a bit to open and candid with the media.

as things stands, its BR words fueling this fire... everything else is rumours.

he's now likely put KT in the position were if there nothing here we'll get a, i'm here for 10 quote in next few days or as i said BR is warming us up for something none of us want.
Yeah, but we’re in the best position here. He’s signed a six year deal last season so you could argue that this is the strongest position the club have ever been in for any outgoing transfer in its history.

BR doesn’t always play the media well. The Dembélé situation in January was handled terribly, and I felt that was all so avoidable. Could be the same here again.

If he is to go, fair enough. Don’t care if it’s Everton or any other club. Whoever gives us the best deal can have him.
thats all true if story is true.. so we'll see in coming days if its BR saying the reality or is it BR getting a bit to chatty with some friendly hacks... if the latter like you said with January he'll need to clarify it a bit which he had to back then, and if it is the case there nothing in it and KT isn't interested its not really great the celtic manager being the person causing the noise.

but of course we don't know which one it is yet.

Given BR response to that, I'd say he has just thrown some bait in the water. It'll be an interesting week or two now.

In today's market, KT is a 25-30m quid player and like it or not we can't afford to keep one of those in the team to see off the likes of Motherwell and the huns.

FWIW I would have thought Moussa more likely to go than anyone this summer yet BR comments about Danny Ings seems to imply we have our three strikers for next season and that's that. There was always going to be a need for some jiggery pokery to bring in the ten. Looks like it's started.

BR and Lawwell made an arse of the Dembele situation in January.

Both were happy to accept the £20m on offer from Brighton. Moussa was not interested in the move. "Not a good club."

BR and Lawwell succeeded spectacularly in upsetting one of the Club's most valuable assets.

I believe relationships have improved since

Edit to add: I hope they have improved

I'm really not sure what Brendan gains by going into this topic, now of all times.

We've got 2 months of constant speculation ahead of us now.

I suppose you’re right. Virgil didn’t go on to become the most expensive defender of all time after moving to Southampton.

If KT goes, my main interest is what the club get for him, not what’s best for his career. If he goes to the likes of United now, we won’t get a sell on clause.

If he goes to Everton he could be their best player within a year or two, and then the top clubs will be paying 60-70m for him and we’d be taking home 10% of that on top of whatever fee we agree.

He knows how good he is, going to a club like Everton now, won’t define him. Your Andy Robertson talk is baffling too and pointless.
Clubs and players are going to maximise their potential when they can. Look how badly off form Dembele was for a period last season, so much so that people were suggesting we would only get 10-12m for him.

Touch wood but he could get a bad injury and that could be that. If Everton or whoever else are dangling a contract worth 90 or 100k per week it would be extremely hard to turn down.

Difficult to know what to think, but if KT is seriously considering Everton then it makes sense for Brendan to at least try and start a bidding war. Could be that, could be summat else and could be nothing.

From BR's quotes, I am very concerned that Celtic are actively trying to sell a prized asset - KT

It's like a repeat of the Dembele clustereff in January

Rodgers isn't going to come out and say something he has no control over. If a mega money big comes in he is off just like every other person that walks through the door. He has said the exact same thing about Dembele for 4 transfer windows and he's stayed. Desmond said the exact same thing about Rodgers when he was linked to Arsenal and he stayed. Calm down.

He's just signed a six year contract and the club don't need the money. He'd be well within his rights telling silva to come up and sook his wullie.

I’m sure he’s spoke to him. For the last time, what Rodgers says to the media isn’t what the players are listening to
