Seemingly both ac Milan and spurs were sniffing around bitton towards the end of the transfer window but after being quoted 7-8 million both decided to wait until January to see how he plays in Europa league , taking a chance even though it may end up costing them an extra 2-3 million , both see it as a risk worth taking given his current contract situation. Both club were represented at tonight's international fixture involving Israel, where the player had a superb game controlling the game and even scoring a well taken second goal in their 4-0 victory.

Funny I heard nothing about a bid or Bitton . I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fictitious bid created by the MSSM , to put Celtic fans on edge again .

I for one think we need to build a team around this guy and NOT go for short term profit.
He is cultured, comfortable on the ball, plays at his own pace and has a surprising burst of speed.
Good shot, good header of the ball in the box both offense and defense.
Potential next captain in my view.
I believe him to be the best footballer in our squad right now

Wouldn't surprise me he's now the best player in our squad now VVD has left, got a goal and assist tonight as well.

Class player, needs to be offered a new contract asap. Less than two years left on it now.

I agree Paul Bhoy! I think he has so much more to come his toward passing is coming along nicely! Really composed on the ball and is learning to concentrate for the whole 90 mins I'd like to see him tied down to a new contract! He's said him self he is happy and wanting a new contract along johansen we need players who want to be here!

Old bhoy perhaps stronger reading glasses 👓 are required , it says nowhere in my post a bid was made . It was enquiry about availability that was made to which a price was quoted.

Any idea Ed if Bitton is going to be offered a new contract?

He's now our biggest asset imo and though I'd love him to stay for years, sadly, that's not the way it's been working for our players who are showing even a glimour of talent before an EPL club comes calling(or namely Southampton).

But with less than two years now left on his contract if clubs are interested we can't demand as a high a fee as we could if his contract was more secure, is a new contract on the horizon for the lad?

I'd rather we got it done pretty sharpish it should be a priority.

{Ed007's Note - Bitton himself has made it clear he would like to extend his stay and that his wife is happy in Scotland. but I don't know if any talks are planned. I hope Pedro has it high on the list of his priorities as Dudu Dahan (Biton's agent) doesn't mess about, he'll make sure his client gets the best deal and also that all concerned on the player's side are happy with the direction and progression of his career.
Dahan will also make sure that other club's are aware of Bitton and that CFC are aware of any interest.
He's a tough negotiator but he is not as slimy or self serving as most agents, if Bitton's preference is as he says and he is happy to stay Dahan will fight Pedro tooth and nail to get the best deal possible, from what I know he's not the type to encourage a player to move simply to help his own bank balance.}

Agree with Bitton, We need more players like him in the team, Good on the ball hardly gives it away that's where we come undone in Europe we give away possession too easily we need a few more in the team that's good with the ball at their feet even when under pressure
