I'm not talking about not strengthening though, i'm talking about signing other targets.
Then why would Remy and Mikey insist we want French Eddie and we're working toward that? It's on that basis I am discussing the prospective transfer, along with the media reports above. It all indicates we want him and he's a primary target. Add to that every fan appears to want him then I'm not sure what you're getting at.
What i'm getting at is if Dembele doesn't go (as most expected) is the £5m or so better spent on another area and a loan striker (like Eduard) brought in to compliment Moussa and Griffiths?

Things change, i'd sign Edouard (and every chance we will) but don't get bogged down with stuff most folk don't6 know about, such as how we're going about our business.

:ponder: Weird one this. Afobe signed for Wolves for £10M on the 1st of this month. Wolves have now agreed to sell him to Stoke for £12M.

Profit aside weird as eff selling a guy you have just bought.
Paul Ritchie
Robert Jarni was another weird one. Bought by Coventry at the start of a summer, sold to Real Madrid for a profit by the end.

Never played one minute for Coventry. Sure he was gutted with how things transpired :lol:
Was it not because Jarni played for another Spanish team who wouldn't sell him to Real so they worked it out for him to go elsewhere then signed him ?
The bit I read about Afobe seemed to suggest Wolves only signed him knowing they could maybe sell him for a profit, still a bit odd though, if they can't they are left with a player who knows they signed him then tried to offload him tout de suite...
EDIT : from Jarni's wiki page :

Spoiler: click to toggle

:thumbsup: see where you are coming from. Personally I'd sign Edouard and another goalscoring forward even if Moussa does hang about, I'm not in to two Strikers in a squad whatsoever and would rather have four and lose the likes of Gamboa who never play whatever the scenario.

Would you rather we sign a #4 centre forward than a right back to challenge/replace Lustig ?

I think Gamboa has been a wasteful signing and would have preferred a Striker last season than what we got from him, we were bare bones at times up front, we started the season without a fit Striker, not ideal when our biggest games take place then...

Looking forward I think we have midfielders heading to Bosman like Armstrong or not featuring as has been the case with Kouassi. Loans of pre Brendan signings we will be supplementing, Ciftci and Allan could free up space and cash.

Let's not forget CL and van Dijk monies, Ronny punts like Erik off the wage bill. I'd say we appear to have funds, we appear to have vacancies, why choose between this or that? Get it right everywhere.

Poster on HB says it looks like McGinn is a done deal. I think he has access to what's in tomorrows papers so I take he's getting it from there.

Honestly wouldn't mind McGinn, future replacement for Brown. I know people want to sign someone to make an impact in the Champions League, but we're either going to sign young Scottish players with potential or young foreign players with potential these days. It's been a long time since we invested any money in an established player, especially at that level/

Good, can see him raising his game and giving us a lot of drive - taking all the pressure off Brown on that front.

Seem to be spending a decent amount very early on. Possibly 7-9m on 2 players straight away.

Are we still paying his wages or could it be that we are waiting till the last minute to save a few quid?

If we are playing silly buggers and lose out there will be hell to pay.
If the player wants to come and we screw it up then there should be hell to pay. We've not seen much of that type of shenanigans lately but that would be same old Celtic, not striking while the iron is hot.

It really is time to put the foot down on the throat and ensure we bring in quality.
Why should there be hell to pay?

What if we have other targets?. . and i'm sure we will have.
I think we can agree Brendan rates him very highly. I don't think he'd be impressed.

I realise I’m in the minority but I’m happy to get McGinn. He’s always impressed me against us. Hopefully we step up the search for a CB and starting RB.

I guess we plan to punt Armstrong or Christie then, we don't need both if we land McGinn.

£2.25m per champions league win next season. Time to speculate to accumulate.

Agreed, Brown says McGinn was his hardest SPL opponent last season & he's Celtic born & bred - he'd thrive & run through walls.
Playing together with Brown, KT, Forrest & McGregor will give us a lot of energy in the midfield area.
I wonder how he's going to be played by Brendan, if he can cover LB & if we're thinking of a formation change.
