No way would we spend £9mill on any transfer fee, prob £5mill then possible rising through appearances etc still think dembele&Armstrong will be sold to pay for edouard &mginn&cpl of other signing targets to come in.

15 Jun 2018 23:11:52
Van dyjks money along with the world cup money and Eriks transfer fee already cover edouards fee.

15 Jun 2018 23:36:17
The club have said its the biggest deal in our history so its a fee of £6m+ at least.

16 Jun 2018 06:22:07
The club were prepared to spend more on PR last summer so you are wrong. Nothing like a bit of misery to start saturday morn. Defeatist attitude.

16 Jun 2018 09:37:14
Just enjoy the great news and appreciate a quality permanent deal. People have been posting on here in previous seasons about us not spending 'real money' and referring to PL's £6m quote; so now we are showing real ambition and following it up with serious cash - on and off the pitch - and the club has never been in better shape.
There may well be one or two leaving, but this shows the commitment of the board and manager to improve and progress even further.

16 Jun 2018 10:35:29
That's some first post "kingjambo". I have to praise PL. Finally we have seen that elusive 'big fee for the right player. A lot of the praise actually goes towards his negotiations with Southampton too. Without that unguaranteed 6m, this deal might not have happened. Thank you Pistol.

17 Jun 2018 11:26:50
kingjambo kinda give away no, he's not one of us🇮🇪🤣.

15 Jun 2018 20:11:30
Watching Spain Portugal game Iniesta is going to waste away in the J league he should've came to Celtic.

15 Jun 2018 16:41:49
Massive well done to all involved in signing Odsonne, great show of intent by the board. Cannot wait until next season!

15 Jun 2018 18:09:56
Delighted he has signed, note of caution though as we have not actually strengthened the squad from last year.

European class playmaker would be icing on the cake along with a first team RB and CB

3 quality players is all I ask.

15 Jun 2018 19:43:57
A lightning fast winger would be good.

15 Jun 2018 15:57:07
I have actually came across several Celtic fans moaning we have spent to much money of French eddy.
Board can't win.

15 Jun 2018 17:38:19
Rain clouds follow these people everywhere Kev. You come across them in all aspects of life spreading their negativity like wildfire. As a Celtic fan how can you not be happy we are improving everything on and off the park season on season at the moment. I was on the Boards case myself when it seemed PL and Park were interfering but that days are long gone. I can only commend and thank them for their current work.

15 Jun 2018 17:55:44
They are simply gutted to have been proven wrong. They always say "we can't spend this or that amount" and we have just proven that we can.

Always citing rangers to scare people, as if we would go bust if we spent any money. Ridiculous.

here we go.

15 Jun 2018 19:21:40
I hear Dermot Desmond and Brendan Rogers had to organise to get Lawwell out of the office on a couple of afternoons so that DD and B R could get the paper work completed . Thank God they managed to do it as if P Lawwell was in control of cheque book week week, there would be no deal.

15 Jun 2018 19:40:10
That's just nonsense OMC. Why are you so down on our club these days?
Jesus, some people are never happy.

15 Jun 2018 21:21:26
Who told you that OMC?
Was it James Traynor!

15 Jun 2018 22:41:13
He is extracting the urine, I hope.

16 Jun 2018 00:02:43
Sorry Big Rab, I was trying to post a comment that Jamesbhoy67 would agree with.

16 Jun 2018 11:02:48
Peter lawwel is one of the best negotiators out there. That's why clubs are always chasing him. He knows how to do his job.

16 Jun 2018 14:25:26
He definitely is, however the Scottish media tried to create dissention between him and Celtic fans . It wo reed for awhile but thank God in recent years, all but one or two of our fans realise, just how important and how good a deal bargainer he is .

I think there was a time when we had weak manager and P . L wisely or non wisely may have stepped outside his duties and bought players that hadn't been properly scouted. This was wrong, but it came about by Manager not doing his job and provide proper list of prospects.

17 Jun 2018 11:13:33
I think the 10mill euro tag is not correct. I believe its less than that. The 10mill may be the total including sell on percentage. He did not cost 10mill up front.

17 Jun 2018 11:17:44
Celtic haven't spent a penny Liverpool paid for Edouarde off the Van Dijk fee, so that leaves about 60m unspent, if anyone thinks lawwell will sanction several big signings they need their head examined, was that post good enough for you Chris? Its just as well the other lads get my humour.

18 Jun 2018 00:41:03
Jamesbhoy67 I pity you and more so your small group of friends who have to laugh with you at your jokes but if they were not such loyal friends would laugh at you re your humour .
The funniest thing about yourself Jamesbhoy67, is that every normal Celtic supporter who has a I Q above your 67, knows that P L will not sanction the 60m that you think is in the funds . It isn't P L 's responsibility to sanction a number of reasonably expensive purchases . It's the board who if they give the go ahead leave Peter Lawwell with task to try to get best possible deal .
I am sure this is too complicated for you Jamesbhoy67, but over time you may learn.

15 Jun 2018 14:32:01
Well with the fixtures announced, that will give derek macinness an early opportunity to lie down to gerrard. can't wait for the action to start again. HH.

15 Jun 2018 15:37:33
Oh not this time mate. First game, packed Pittodrie, hatred in the air, it could get right out of hand.

15 Jun 2018 16:57:56
Oh i very much hope so.

17 Jun 2018 11:14:34
Big test for both teams. let's see how they do in Europe qualifiers. I just can't see Rangers going anywhere. don't see any player so far that would get in our squad.

15 Jun 2018 13:40:51
Club record for French Eddy according to the club.

15 Jun 2018
New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, Quality Hummel Gear with holes in the sleeve

15 Jun 2018 13:52:08
jabba said it's NOT a hole in the sleeve but a new space age strategic air to pore system for better ventilation and is concomitant with the staunchnicity of a sevco top.

15 Jun 2018 19:42:17
It's utter dreck. I've never liked Hummel, even more so now.
Looks cheap.

15 Jun 2018 08:08:26
That sevco tracksuit. oh dear.

15 Jun 2018 10:12:25
U would find local pub teams with better gear honestly! Cheap and nasty just like theyr whole club! Just confirms we’re so far ahead of them in every area! Parading there new players and don’t even have a strip to put them in! Embarrassing!

15 Jun 2018 13:02:39
Same trackies as Pollock AFC😂😂.

15 Jun 2018 19:38:22
The shirt fits the player and the player certainly fits the shirt
Shoite finds its own level.

how could we forgot “the curve” haha cracking post mate loved it!

15 Jun 2018 09:09:32
Have to go with RAW on this the gazebo was surely the most humiliating moment, and the stitch up was brilliant on twttr. Humiliations at sevco are like the 75 to Milton there's always another one in a minute.

15 Jun 2018 09:47:44
Rogic that was brilliant. I'm sure we could all add bits to it but your summary is fabulous. Well done sir! HH.

15 Jun 2018 10:15:38
The Derek mcinnes affair (concomitant) an awe that haha.

15 Jun 2018 11:58:34
Great - very humorous - post and there will be other stuff to add past, present and future. TRIFC 2012 just keeps giving. Alex Rae, Stuart McCall and John Brown never even made the list ha ha.

{Ed007's Note - Alex Rae doesn't like to be reminded that he started off at Celtic Boys Club, neither does Davie Weir.}

15 Jun 2018 14:07:14
Never knew that Ed; released for being too ugly for the team photo?

16 Jun 2018 15:45:59
You forgot Murty sacked.

No difference from brown playing for rangers boys club.
