The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[marty34]

You'd despair at the amount allegedly offered for Richarlison by Barca, when Edouard is on another planet compared to him.

Agree Richarlison is poor finisher for that type of money

Ah jaysus come on. What planet are you living on?

Whatever about the transfer fee but Richarlison has performed against the top teams and international standard players every week in the premier league on a poor side.

Edouard plays dundee and aberdeen every week for a team far superior to everyone else in the league.If Edouard really is that good why is he playing in Scotland for Celtic amd no one tried to sign him in the January transfer window?

Fair point but I'd be juding it on potential.

Van Dyik, Wanyama, Tierney, Andy Robertson, Demblele etc. all played in this league. In a way you find out more about them there, on crap pitches and against a load of kickers. If they can handle it there, they'll stand out and get the big move.

Potential is the key word. None of the top sides in Europe will sign anyone from Scotland because the standard is so poor. Almost impossible to judge them.

The likes of Van Dijk and Robertson were signed by lower level premier league clubs who are willing to take a chance on them.  Only when they stood out in the Premier League for these so called weaker clubs did the top clubs look to sign them

It is not often that Celtic fans unite 100% on a players quality. When a player has that quality he will shine on whatever stage. That is a truism in football.
The same dumb argument has been used before about Henrik and other spl players and I use the word dumb with restraint, Edouard same as Henrik, does what he does on whatever stage he plays on, SPL, France underage, CL  and EL.
He will play at the top level for years to come and succeed. PSG, as rich and all as they are  will regret having let him slip though at a nominal £10m or so.

They will now. There's a lot of success stories from Celtic in recent years who have gone on to bigger and better things.

The important thing is that Celtic stand firm and if they do sell them they get their genuine worth.

Edouard is good enough for a top club right now, his performances in Europe have been brilliant, 11 goals in 6 u21 caps for France - just gone 22 years old. He is one of the best young strikers in Europe right now. When you see a bit of clogger like that Haller chap at West Ham who went for £45m then there's no way Celtic should be considering anything under £40m for Edouard.

Exactly, why? The lower level teams took the gamble on them.  Anybody who watches Scottish football will tell you that Van Dyk etc. were going to a top team. Destined for the big time.

Everybody is united on Edouard.  He's a top act.

That remains to be proven. Richarlison has proved he can do it at the top level and has been called up to Brazil squad. Anyone that signs Edouard is taking a chance and as I pointed out before that's why he won't go for stupid money. Someone will take a chance on him and it may or may not work out. No one's future career can be based on scottish football

Where has Richarlison proved he can do it?

His stats are very average, he looks quite headless and inconsistent.

Performing in Europe gets attention. Celtic beat Lazio home and away in the EL group stages. Rangers also done well.
Celtic have Copenhagen in the next round, they should get past them. if Celtic were to get by a few rounds and reach a Quarter final, the valuation of Edouard would increase..

You're talking through your a*se. Edouard has scored 11 goals in 6 games for France u21s. He also scored 15 goals in 12 games for France u17s. He has scored goals and shown top class playing in Europe. That shows he hasn't just done in the spfl. He's a completely different level to  Richarlison.

[JimStynes]

Doesn't matter if he was as good as Messi, no one will pay that money for a player from the SPL.

U17s!!! Wow, he must be world class!!! He is indeed at a different level. He plays in scottish league. Richarlison plays in the premier league and played in the Copa America.

U21s. 11 goals in 6 caps is a phenomenal.

Richarlison has never even played a minute of European football and has a distinctly average record in the Premier League. He moved to Everton off the back of goals in 38 games for a fee near £50m.

Fagner and Everton played in the Copa America for Brazil. Who? Exactly

[illdecide]

Lads, ffs stop taking the bait from dublin fella.

We all know if you have the ability it doesn't matter where you're playing your football, if you're good enough you're good enough. He was a PSG player so he wasn't there for the craic and if i recall rightly PSG at that time were being investigated bu UEFA for not balancing their books and they had to sell quite a few players on.
Edouard was a bit of a slow starter, we all seen his talents but he's now adding consistency to his game and for me is def destined for a big move to a big club, the top talent over the last decade that have moved down south is really phenomenal but hey must have been luck as they were only playing in Scotland.

I'm guessing G Strachan and C Sutton and the rest of the BT Sport guys don't know what they're talking about either when they said on Wed night this man is destined for the top...he's that good.

[ned]

But, but, but Richarlison plays in EPL!
The number of average players in that league is laughable. Trippier went to Atletico Madrid and had to be coached on how to defend.
McBurnie is a stand out for Sheffield Utd. Pukki struggled at Celtic.
Edouard would be best served going back to France or trying to succeed in Spain or Italy.

I don't believe that - loads of players have come to the Premiership in England from Spain and other big leagues for huge money and have flopped.

Eduoard is worth the punt and willdo really well, wherever he goes.
