The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[playwiththewind1st]

The Dirty Digger has been responsible for a number of things in his career.....none of them particularly good.

[StGallsGAA]

The Celtic board take a lot of stick but TBH i think they run the club well

Not so sure about that.
If they were paying 25k a week for Kolo Toure as a player what sort of wages is he on now as a coach?
Might be the explanation for why the centre-backs are so poor as he was a pretty shit player himself.

Kolo was on £25k a week?? WTF!?!

[Main Street]

According to the transfer price inflation expert, Paul Tomkins, Rio F's record breaking transfers to Leeds and then Man U were more costly than VvD's today.
And I'd rate Virgil the better player, a better defender and a bigger goal threat at the other end.
As Red Hander alluded to, EPL transfer fees have risen by 17 fold since 1992 and interestingly enough the epl tv income has also risen by 17 fold in same period.

I don't know what Toure was on but if BR and Celtic thought he was worth it then who are we to criticise...Plus do we know for sure or is it a Tony guess? Plus you won't get every transfer right, if you did your name would be Merlin. Even if he was paid that money as a player (i would have no issues with that) i doubt v much he'd be on a third of that now as a coach.

The figure I mentioned I got from here. It's an estimate and could be bullshit. Gamboa on 15k :O

Whatever your opinions on the Celtic board are to get the windfall from VVD's transfer is good business, but back to football matters, how many are we putting past the Huns on Saturday, 3-0 my prediction, Griff 1st goal (if playing)

[Main Street]

Millions come into the club's coffers and no player is being lost. It doesn't get much better than that.

[Targetman]

Think there's a good chance Dembele will go in January, just by the way Rodgers was talking, hope I'm wrong

[From the Bunker]

You'd wonder how long it takes to process a transaction like that to Celtics coffers?

Various sources suggesting different settlements, including installments over the length of the contract. Doesn't really matter as the money is coming our way no matter which way.

Southampton still get 67-odd million. Bound to inflate the market where they bid for players.

Exactly, and as good as gold in the bank in the unlikely event that the Celts need to borrow for any reason, say a stadium extension/upgrade. Sevco couldn't even get a pay day loan from Wonga such is the state of the Hun finances

Or centre-back upgrade.
