How much of this is a Ronnie signing? Good luck to the guy and I hope he does well but is there not a lawwell connection in there somewhere?
Possibly but also keep in mind Ronny had a good relationship/knowledge of man city when at stromsgodset and had a few of their players on loan. I'm sure he's known about boyata for a long time.

would imagine hes seen more of boyata than park or anyone else so would go with trusting ronny on this.

glad it looks to be done early after meeting him only a couple of weeks ago. im sure the boy could have delayed all summer until relegation battling or championship sides got desperate and offered big money.

Happy with this signing and happy the club have moved quickly to get their targets hopefully Mitchell Dijks follows then we can get on the hunt for a Striker & back up keeper.

There is no signing Celtic will make that folk will not ask, "How much is this a Lawwell signing?"

I'm not sure about this, mostly because of his lack of playtime but I'm willing to apply Gordon's Law here-not all sicknotes stay sicknotes.
I blame the school....

I guess we won't know until he's either good or rubbish. Even then it's hard to tell. Guidetti was a Deila signing right up until we realised in December that he was all Lawwell's fault

If he turns out bad, Lawwell signing ;)

Pleased with this. Don't care who set it up or sanctioned it or whatever. Nice to see us doing business early and with no messing around. Be nice if Denayer did stay for one more year to play beside him.

Don't think I have seen this lad play but clearly his last couple of years in particular have been disappointing and he has not fulfilled his early potential.

It's not exactly great that the SPFL has become a rehab league, but if we can get this guy to get anywhere close to his obvious initial promise, then we will likely have scored highly again.

Our manager's entire philosophy is a positive coaching one, where he wants nothing more than to be able to work with players and improve aspects of their game. Sounds like its going to be needed.

It goes without saying that caution will be required over his selection for the early qualifiers.

Never seen him play, but I know the name as someone who was touted as being a future star a few years ago and he's obviously lost his way a bit since then. Sounds like exactly the sort of player Ronny likes to work with, so I'm happy with this signing.

Excellent to see us getting him in before pre-season training starts too, hopefully there'll be a couple more in place before then too.

I'd imagine it's a player from a recently relegated club.

Our increasingly incestuous relationship with City continues. Initially reaction is that Boyata seems a downgrade on Denayer.

We've went from a loan of a very promising youngster to "buying" someone who's surplus to their requirements, but who they still have the right to buy back... so could turn out just to be a loan, but with a variation on the payment scheme.

Boyata might turn out to be a fine signing, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the whole Celtic City angle here.
