Apparently Brighton want a £2m loan fee if we want Shane Duffy, with the player very keen to come to Celtic; so I reckon the question would be whether we 'write-off' that amount or use that cash towards a permanent signing? What do you think guys?

{Ed007's Note - In recent years we've wasted money on Kouassi, Bayo and Bolingoli so if it's true Brighton want £2 million then it's a no-brainer and if we want to try and make the move permanent in the future then that loan fee will be taken into account.}

Ed have you heard if we have actually made a move to make the duffy deal happen.

{Ed007's Note - We've spoken to Brighton and both the player & his agent.}

He should be signed at all costs 👍.

2m is nothing when you think we've paid more for players who don't actually play.

At all costs? .

Not for me . the 2m equals crudely 40k a week, and then there is the wages, say 30k a week

Brighton paid 4m and have a player taking 1.75m a year in wages .

Assume we do the deal for 2m and the wages . that deal would be costing us 75k per week with opportunity to get it back

Ucl qualification would help obviously, but that is a lot of money

Was Duffy ahead of the Brighton player that went to TRFC?

{Ed007's Note - 👍

get him in. it would be a massive signing. we as supporters shouldn't give a sh*t what it costs. its a no gamble fantastic signing that if it comes off gives me great confidence that the board realise the scale of this season.
lubo the boy they got was on loan at wigan so yes he was ahead of him. brighton have got dunk who's rated at 50 odd million they have the boy white coming back from leeds who had a 22 million bid rejected and they just signed the boy veltman from ajax who's very well thought of.

Lubo you get what u pay for an sure this deal could be done to suit all parties. we've freed up about a dozen wages with players leaving. hope we don't miss this opportunity.

Interesting comments

He would certainly run through a brick wall for us. he isn't a poser which is a good trait.
