McGeady out and Chris Brunt in. How much would they get for McGeady 6/7 Million? Brunt would cost 2.5 prob.

that would be a disaster straight away
brunt is rubbish
I also dont see mcginn or mccourt being any better than brunt either and just reserve team players

Brunt cost West Brom 3m and cant see them letting him go for .5m less than that.

He is a very good player - fantastic left foot shooting and crossing, and was west broms top scorer this season.

I thought Brunt was excellent this season for West Brom. He was one of the players that didnt look our of place at the tp level. If TM could get him to Celtic id be over the moon.

QuoteFortune scored five goals in 18 appearances for the Baggies, who finished bottom of the English Premier League.

But Grant, who moved with Mowbray from the Hawthorns to Celtic Park, was impressed by the forward's contribution, saying: "Marco is a quality player and we were very impressed by just how well he did for us last season.

"People say he didn't have a fantastic scoring record. But look at the goals from midfield after he came in.

BBC

That worries me another stricker who dosnt score goals, not what celtic need imo

i think brunt is a cracking player, anti NI bias maybe being held against him. To be honest i think his value would have went up after the year he's had

Tony Mowbry having been his manager after buying him with west brom I assume.

however 'good' brunt or mccourt or mcginn or a good few others might be (I include wilson, caldwell, naylor etc in that)
they are not nearly good enough for a team that expects to win its league and most def not good enough if that team expects to compete in the cl.
cut priced second rate players are never going to be good enough and if this is what Celtic continue to buy then they cant complain if they dont win their league and dont see past qualifiers in cl.

I agree i think Brunt is a cracking player. Would be a brilliant signing for Celtic. He a better player than Naknamura who has/is left/leaving. Would far rather have him in the MF than Willo Flood.
