...I thought this was a UEFA directive, to compensate a fair payment for development!!!

Absolute rubbish this cross border situation.....absolute nonsense!!

It would be a bit hypocritical of me to moan about it tbh given how we got Dembele but I agree, looking at it objectively there should probably be a happier and fairer medium in terms of compensation.

I can see Rodgers having a pop at getting him but no doubt we wouldn't necessarily develop him that well anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised at all tbh, Leicester would be a far smarter move for him than Man City or something like that anyway.

Sign him and then loan him to Peterborough, then Leuven then back to us 😂

 

Why won't he sign a new deal? Surely he's best with you for another 3-4 years?

I've not heard the exact reason. I don't think his head has been turned as he's had interest from all the elite clubs for years and always comes across as a very grounded young guy. Part of me thinks standards have slipped under Lennon and he's getting less emphasis on his own personal development.

We need a left footed right winger.... get him in our first team aged 12 😂😂😂

Just break the club record for Edouard!  Have to take risks sometimes and this guy  has the lot to go far

Yeah, I mean it really worked well the last time we broke the club record for a striker, didn't it?

Give them Slimani and 20 Million. He'd score plenty at Celtic. Time is getting short we need to get him in.

Yes I guess Slims salary is a problem. What fool gave him that salary without him proving himself here.

Salaries should be modest to begin with, Topped up by linked to appearances and performance. That way you don't end up caught like we are now.

Yes unless he forces the issue himself.

[tetly]

He would be a great option for us. It goes to show how important it is to clear out the dead wood. Maybe then we would have funds and a player we could use.

Never really felt the odds were on. At 40 mil

Dreamland signing. Yes we would benefit massively from his quality but unless we sell Ian I can’t see it happening. We are More desperate for bodies elsewhere and don’t seem to have much cash to burn.

I’d argue we’re absolutely desperate for a striker. Lose Vardy and we’re up a creek. 

[les-tah]

I think its a no brainer as its an investment.. I think he will have sell on value immediately and thats what we like. Cannot see him being a flop

And you would be bang on. My point is at right wing what do we have as in starting eleven? And left back? That’s my point.

Whether it's a 3 or 4 at the back I guess will dictate the priority in terms of whether ir's a RW or CF.

I agree with you, we do need some new faces for the mentioned positions. We are desperate for players in a number of positions really. And hopefully now we will progress on with a few more transfers.

I’d be just as happy if we went and got Batshuayi.

I was thinking this yesterday. Good premier league centre forward that knows where the goal is.

He’s got a good engine as well and leaves it all out there on the pitch 🙂

Batshuayi is the definition of bang average.
