Chris Sutton was tweeting about it earlier.

More fake news in the week leading up to the Huns match, anyway i think Celtic would be looking for more, this time last year he was going to Chelsea for £30 million

Have I missed something, or why would, indeed should, a player valued at £13 millions in late 2015 now be valued at £75 millions? That's some "improvement" in a short space of time.

Why did Real pay £80m for Bale and why did PSG pay £200m+ for Neymar? Less to do with ability or improvement than the need of the buying club. Liverpool had to go to that price to guarantee their number one target. Neymar was the same player more or less who joined Barca from Brazil.
But who gives a f**k, Celtic rake in North of £7m for doing very little but having foresight.

I read there that Celtic's deal is 15% of Southampton's nett profit, i was always under the impression Celtic got 10% of the transfer fee. If it's the latter then Celtic could be set to cash in on roughly £9.3 mill, either way it was handy money and well done P Lawwell.

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

Some quotes have it at 20%.
I agree re the board, on finances anyway. The board run the club within our means. Some think £30m from CL means we can buy £7 or £8m players. Not as simple as that unfortunately. Have to look at the overall cost for the length of contract. £7m player means wages of about £2m a year. What happens if we don't qualify for CL groups? We still have that contract to pay.

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.

So much money washing around Premier League due to the TV deal that clubs don't know what to do with it apart from paying over the odds for every player. Virgil's very good, but £75m is crazy... blame Rupert Murdoch
