Dembele, Édouard, Van Dijk, Wanyama, Larsson, Forster Because you can't buy these players, chuck them in the reserves and expect them to be PL ready in the same time that they would playing competitive, first team football. Stepping stones like Celtic are what make them the players they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that if a transfer is to be done then it will involve plenty of add-ons which, if achieved, will have meant success and therefore value for money. Tierney went for £25m up front last summer, hes the most, that’s why it dragged on so long as Celtic insisted on all the money up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 I don't want him if it means selling Iheanacho to be honest. It feels like he is on the cusp of something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Nacho Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 Not too sure why people slag off the Scottish league so much. Yes, I agree, towards the bottom end of the table the standard isn’t great, but throughout the years Scotland has produced some top class players. Wanyama, Dembele, Van Dijk and that’s just to name a few. That’s with Rangers being completely useless for the last decade and not producing any quality. Even with the poor standard towards the bottom end of the SPFL, the way the league is set up, teams such as Celtic would be playing an Aberdeen or Rangers three times a season and they are mid table Championship standard at worse. They can only beat what they’re up against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiting list for a season ticket is ridiculously long so no fan would give up their tickets. £500+ for a virtual pass is mental. Yeah I’m pretty sure both clubs have around 15-20k on waiting lists for season tickets so like you say the club has current season ticket holders by the balls as they are scared of losing their seats.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that but Edouard was a lawell signing, he’s always been cosy with the PSG owner and we’ve had a few players from them over recent years. When we got him on loan initially it was actually really out of the blue on the last day of the transfer window as cover as we had only one fit striker at the time.

I’d happily start next season with both in our squad but one or the other I’d take Nacho all day long I guess it’s all about opinions mate but having seen a fair bit of Iheanacho and having watched Edouard every week I’d have to say Edouard is in a different class. I’d really worry if Vardy missed say ten games with injury and you had to rely on iheanacho from the start week in week out. I also think Rodgers really doesn’t fancy him which is quite telling.

kingcarr21 Posted 3 August 2020 Share Posted 3 August 2020 BBC Sport claiming all of his goals against Hamilton were 'Outstanding' So I thought oooh ill watch the highlights. Nothing outstanding about any of them . Is this a Scottish football thing? Bog standard finishes are seen as works of art belonging with the elite. Think id sooner stick with Nacho. Just seems like a punt in the hope his scoring numbers come across with him. It may very well do but Nacho has had a decent season and looks hungry to carry on fighting for us.

We’re not a big enough and financially viable club to stockpile 3 strikers of that level imo. I like Nacho, think he brings good stuff to the team and he’s young, but if we’re in for someone of this level of fee then it’s because BR doesn’t rate him to be Vardy’s successor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he be considered that young now? He's 24 in a couple of months and in terms of starts he's not played a lot of football for a 24 year old. I'd be wary of how much better he's going to get in all honesty and I get it's my own personal opinion but I don't see him ever being good enough to be a number 1 striker at a top 6 EPL club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
