Simply put, he has all the traits needed to be a top, top player. Touch, technically gifted, pacey and an eye for goal.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him coming here if he played today, Celtic wouldn't have wanted to risk the 15m or so they'll get for him. I think we'll get an attacking midfielder that can play in the middle or out wide on loan from somewhere and that'll be us done for the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Rodgers just hinted extremely clearly that we're about to sign an attacking midfielder as a priority, the odds of us swooping for Edouard in the next couple of days when there are zero signs we're actually bothered, it seems unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVIE B Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 I’ve only watched brief highlights but he does look very good. He is only 23 & will get better still. Rogers must know his attributes etc. It’s obvious to everyone we need a striker too. I’d be surprised if he’s at Celtic beyond the summer. Watkins is doing well at Villa, I don’t see why Edouard can’t have a similar impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His present injury may just be part of recurring problems down the line and this is an opportunity that we appear to be comfortable in letting pass us by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegworthfox Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Talking to a rangers fan (taxi driver) yesterday said a lot of talk he is coming and under Rodgers will be a very good player in the premier league. He said he was the best striker by a mile in the league up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers has spoken about managing it with resting him during the Europa and Vardy getting the odd day off training. The surgery might buy him a bit more time but I dont imagine its something that will go away given the strain he puts on it with his high intensity style of play.

There is a possibility that we could come up short due to not bringing in cover for the positions that we are crying out for and we seem to look at it as we will do better next season.

I would think it almost certainly is down to finance. January is not a good month for buying and there's not likely to be a long line of clubs queueing up to either sell us their best strikers at a bargain price or let us borrow them for a bit. We would presumably rather get nobody in and trust the players we have than get someone in who doesn't fit or we don't think is good enough and lumber ourselves with another piece of deadwood to shift. If one of our targets is available for a reasonable price, we'll do it, if not, we won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Some players make an impact in January. Realistically he isn’t going to start when Vardy is fit, so it’s a better conversation in the summer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to put imo mate loads of posters talk absolute shite in the transfer section either pretending to be itk or think that because they signed a player on Fifa/football manager then we’ll sign him in real life too I agree though, can’t see him coming til the summer now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 It appears to me that Edouard is and has never been in BR's reckoning. BR wants a striker more akin to vards and I'd hope that the club would have this player no later than summer transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great deal of difference in achieving a top four finish (in the Premiership) compared to the fruitless pursuit by Celtic, in their domestic season as I would surmise the supporters and many of their players cannot wait for the season to be over. We pay his wages for 6 months and we have someone who can help us to get over the line in so many areas. If we really want him, we make it happen, there is no point in bringing him in the summer, it makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next striker won't be like Vardy, there needs to be a flexibility in the way we spearhead our attack and it will be a player with a diverse skillset who will take up this position. Vardy is the the number #1 player of all time for the club, we should not attempt to replace like for like, Giroud has been suggested as a player who could do this role, we need to start looking in that direction, we hold ourselves back if we try to go like for like to replace Vardy.
