One of those that could really pay off but feels as though there will be a player with more minutes and more proven than him for the same price or cheaper on the continent. He should've stayed at Southampton imo Yep knew he was still on Arsenal's books but would be very surprised if he stuck. I'd be impressed if we could do much better for £13m if that's what he is available for, I think he has a big future in the defensive midfield role if he can find a permanent home.

villa89 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 'We made him a very good offer' translates as we're Celtic and despite being the runaway winner of a tinpot league for the best part of a decade we still have no money and are living on a reputation that's totally undeserved. That's why we lose out on players to English championship teams, get stuck with hasbeens like scott sinclair and can't keep anyone even remotely talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty million in this day and age is about the average price for an half decent Premier league player. I don't think it is though. For the top 6 teams £20 mill is pocket change.... for the other 14 teams £20 million is still a sizeable chunk and they will probably only have a couple of players in their team that cost much more than that. (unless i'm completely out of the touch with the Premier League now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they can’t compete, is there simply isn’t the massive TV revenues in Scottish football that there are in the PL. If they ever moved into The PL, something mooted for years, they would be right up there with the biggest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyg Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Given the £30 odd million we have spent so far, the areas we need to strengthen and who we have been linked with (if they can be believed) it looks like we could well spend close to £100m..... I have every confidence it will be more quality over qty I would expect as to not “do a Fulham”. Edited June 14, 2019 by Jimmyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't though, could say the same for River Plate, Boca, Ajax, Red Star etc. Also the sectarian bullshit from both sides wouldnt be tolerated by big sponsors in Premier League 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not referring to you specifically but just cos you brought them up: I’m so sick of everyone on twitter mentioning Fulham every time we are linked to someone. Like, are we not allowed to sign anyone then without “doing a Fulham”? It’s almost as tiring as wolves fans hijacking literally every tweet that’s about Villa by comparing X to some Portuguese fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to start in league 1 to ever have a chance! I agree with you that they were a big club, but they are not anymore! No more than probably 20 clubs across the globe.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
