The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[marty34]

Some photos have been published of Luca Connell pitch side at CP with his parents and a small group. Maybe Lennon knows him from his time at Bolton, but he's an underage irish international and a hot prospect to boot. He would be a decent coup for Celtic but most likely not 1st team material this season.

Celtic need first team players and quality to boot -  4quality signing and no sign of anyone yet and it's nearly July.

Whereas other big clubs sign most of their new players in June??

Man U have signed 2 recently.

My point is you want lads in early for the CL qualifying rounds. No point looking to bring lads in later on and already knocked out of Europe.

Also, lads in early to build rapport and get to know the other players etc.  Common sense.

What usually happens is, as time goes on, good players get snapped up or it becomes a haggling match re: price as teams sit as they know the buying team needs to buy.

Celtic messed about with Mc Ginn last summer and look what happened.

Anything in rumour that Celtic are interested in big Paddy McNair?

[Targetman]

Genuinely don't think so, just signed a french centre half (I hope)

Proof will be in the photo with the scarf.

Paddy or  the French lad?

Obviously the classy French CH , all the glorious 196cm of him.

Like Mo Johnston?

He would be mad not to go if Arsenal or some other top club went for him.

True, ironic that Scotland has 2 fantastic left backs - probably the best 2 about, in Tierney and Robertson of Liverpool.

Do they though? One is a good left back in Scottish football and the other is genuinely world class.

As suggested previoulsy £30m for Tierney is ridiculous! I'd say £20m would be decent money for him. Also a record for Scotland!

Tierney has a lot of experience. CL, EL, international. Has he captained Scotland. Compare that to the Crystal Palace fella who went to United. 3million would be a steal for KT

It all boils down to the league he's been plying his trade in.

It doesn't. It's a factor along with his age, position he plays, how good he is, nationality. He has played against top class opposition in Europe and been a first team regular for 4 years, playing well over 150 games and he is a senior international player. He is regularly one of Celtic's best players. Contrast that to Wan Bissaka and the only factors to his disadvantage are he's not English and he doesn't play in England. So if Wan Bissaka is worth £50m then KT should be worth similar. I know Celtic won't get that but anything less than £25m is derisory unless there is a large % sell on like or better than Celtic had with Van Dijk.

It's only Arsenal ffs, their tiny offer is typical of their tiny club ethos.

Jullien, signed and shirted.

Celtic enhance Scotland's penny pinching reputation by trying to pull a fast one and grab Connell for loose change from Bolton
