Unsubstantiated rumour that Lewis Ferguson could be coming to Celtic. HH.

25 Mar 2021 20:20:27
Let's hope it is bollocks as he is over rated and nothing more than a dirty player.

25 Mar 2021 20:51:38
Have to disagree lennonatwork. Would love to see him come to celtic. Make sense with brown on his way up to the dons. Plays in a similar role.

25 Mar 2021 21:13:11
I am happy with Soro in that position. The sheep would not sell him cheap and anything over 500K is a rip off as he is bang average.

25 Mar 2021 21:29:46
LAW I've got to disagree, I think Ferguson would be a cracking piece of recruitment. Next best young player in Scotland to Turnbull. he's not had as good a year as last but Aberdeen as a whole have been poorer. We don't even have a manager so the rumour will just be made up beyond our general interest.

25 Mar 2021 21:47:50
Soro has to get his chance, he has been more than patient and when he has had a stint, he looks like a good prospect. However, with the squad set to be decimated we have to consider any decent player?

25 Mar 2021 23:09:51
@SOS-BHOY - Imagine we did sign him, how much do you think it would cost? Who sits out between Soro, McGregor and Turnbull?

26 Mar 2021 07:01:13
I've always thought Ferguson can play and based on his age and ability would prosper under a better coach.
It's a yes 👍 from me.

26 Mar 2021 07:24:07
Can’t see their new manager agreeing to sell their best player as he tries to build his own side.

26 Mar 2021 07:43:05
He might sell with Brown coming in for free then use the cash to help rebuild. I’d imagine he’s cost £2-3m and would be a good piece of business IMO.

26 Mar 2021 07:46:43
Unless he sells him to raise funds knowing that Brown can play that position for their 'bigger games'

26 Mar 2021 09:04:56
I think Lewis would be a good squad player, but instead of paying 2/ 3 million for him, would it not make more financial sense signing the boy Campbell from Motherwell who I'm sure is available on a bosman at the end of the season.

26 Mar 2021 09:32:32
Remember they were wanting 5 million for McKenna, so I doubt we would get him cheap and he would just be a squad player as there are better midfielders already at Celtic.

26 Mar 2021 11:32:50
cowabunga00, Allan Campbell could be a good shout at only 22yrs of age and having played over 150 games for Motherwell.

26 Mar 2021 16:41:31
Campbell over Ferguson all day long.

And Roy Keane can bolt! Don’t want the man anywhere near our club. No better than Lennon.

25 Mar 2021 15:12:26
Scott Brown will be leaving the building in the summer.

25 Mar 2021 15:34:35
Brown has still got time to lift his 5th consecutive Scottish Cup on May 22nd.

25 Mar 2021 15:53:49
I wish him all the best great player and a great captain sad too see him go But I understand why he is going.

25 Mar 2021 15:59:27
All the best Broony it's been emotional.

25 Mar 2021 16:28:40
How come mine is a rumour lol.

{Ed007's Note - I look at it like site headline LAW. I usually stick at least one post about something that's actual news on this page and you were the first to post it in, sorry lol.}

25 Mar 2021 16:54:09
haha no worries.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

Saw a rumour tonight that Liverpool are interested in Edouard and might try to offer Origi as part of a swap. Don't know if I'd be too keen on Origi tbh but could definitely see us asking about somebody like Davies if something like that was to be on the cards.

25 Mar 2021 07:36:51
Absolutely no chance of a club like Liverpool coming in for him IMO. He’s still too inconsistent in the Scottish league for a club that size to be interested.
Everyone with eyes could see VVD was a Rolls Royce of a player yet the English snobbery meant the very top sides wouldn’t go near until he had proved himself with Southampton in their league 1st.
You could argue they shopped in Championship for a defender but realistically he’s played zero minutes so it’s hardly a ringing endorsement they would sign out with top leagues again. I think striker wise top clubs are reluctant to take a gamble on project signings.
Tierney going to Arsenal is about the only player leaving Scotland directly to big club to play in 1st team that I can remember in last decade or more and that is a 6th-8th best side not the really Elite sides.
I think he is almost certainly going to end up at Leicester with that Judas in the summer.

25 Mar 2021 08:23:50
As well as letting us down for large parts of the season, he has also let his own reputation and value slide; because big clubs are not only looking for quality players, but players whose attitude and work ethic is 100% and they are an asset to the dressing room.
I think everyone can see that Eddy is nowhere near the player that established himself as The Moose's replacement and a £40m player.

25 Mar 2021 08:54:27
I don't think there's anything in it either GGGG but at the same time, who would you rather have to pick from? Origi or Eddy? I just thought it was interesting that the article mentioned a straight swap but IMO Edouard is definitely better already and has lots of potential to improve further.

25 Mar 2021 08:57:47
GGGG I don't really take anything from this rumour as it was from a click bait article. But Liverpool are skint and will need to be creative in refreshing their squad. Eddy is a cracking player and has became flat playing in our league. All it takes is a good U21 Euros and many big clubs will be after him.

25 Mar 2021 10:08:11
All of the high transfer signings who have left Celtic have done well.

VVD - now one of the top defenders in the world.
Wanyama - was doing great until he started getting injury problems.
Tierney - now one of the top full back in the premiership.
Armstrong - took a while to settle but has shown that he is good enough for the EPl.
Dembele - now playing for one of the best teams in Europe at the moment (not one of the biggest but that will come I am sure of it)
Forster - Had an amazing clean sheet record at SOuthampton and then got injured and has struggled to get back in the team every since. Not sure why as he is a top class goalie and proved he can play at that level.

So I'm not sure I agree that Edouard would be a risk. I reckon someone could buy him for 15-25 million, which is not a high fee for top teams in England and I am confident he would deliver.

While Edouard has yet to show the consistency of Dembele he actually has more to his game and more potential, in my opinion. I am confident that under the right system and right coaching he will go on to perform at the highest level as he has so much ability.

25 Mar 2021 10:11:08
Origi is far too good a player to play in our league and he is probably on £80k per week.

25 Mar 2021 10:49:38
Origi is on Upwards of £60k a week.

This rumour is shear rubbish.

25 Mar 2021 16:53:45
Lennon at work I have no doubt Edouard is capable of tearing it up there like many ex players have in the past. My point is more about the snobbery of the Elite BPL teams who don’t rate the league and rarely sign our players until they have proven it at another BPL club 1st.
C.V. impacting a lot of clubs finances might see a change this post season you never know but I’d be surprised if he wasn’t Leicester bound or goes to a Villa, Leeds etc.
