Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I personally couldn't give a flying eff about resale value, I want these type of players to stay with us long term, not get a season or 2 and then try and make a profit on them like we have been doing
What if the player wants to move though?
What if your Aunt had balls?
It's not really relevant to what we're talking about

Buy a player because you want him to strengthen your team and want him to stay long term, not with an eye to selling him on in 18 months

It's not too much to ask is it?

We haven't spent any more on Sinclair than we would have spent on the total cost of four gambles, three of whom would end up being loaned out and released on a free, the other might be sold tat a profit... or might not. False economy.

Exactly. And two or three players of genuine quality can raise the overall level of the team as a whole

The balance of probabilities of my auntie having balls is extremely low.

The balance of probabilities of players wanting to leave us after 2-3 good seasons is high.

Not a good comparison.

I love it when new signings come in and hit the ground running straight away. Sinclair has all the attributes to be a massive success for us and is the sort of player we have been missing. A level above anyone else domestically and I'd also fancy him to make a huge impact in Europe.

I am actually getting moist at the thought of sinclair and Roberts on the park together. :)
Their movement alone should create plenty of chances as they drag defenders out of position. You can't put two men on either without leaving space for someone else to exploit. Should be good fun to watch :)
Been a long time since we signed somone (not loaned) and he has made such an immediate impact.
Never seen so many happy Celtic faces at work in a long time

Welcome Scott

Good times ahead

I think the name printing department in the superstore is about to get VERY busy indeed.
Go on...
...with all the demands for "Sinclair" on new shirts.
We have been crying out for a "hero" for the youngsters and not so young in some cases for years.

Paul the Tim got a picture with Helen Flanagan :worthy: :lol:
Do you think Helen Flanagan proudly declared to her mates that she got a photo with Paul The Tim? I know I would :rocker: :clap:
PTT is probably more famous than her these days tbf.

He's had the benefit of hitting the ground running and bagging a couple of goals, but even without the goals you can see the difference in quality between him and some of the projects we've had. If there's more to come in our recruitment, hopefully it's more of the same : one Sinclair rather than GMS + Armstrong + Christie + Allan

Looks like he's instantly become our best player.
Now, that is a good signing.
