paul514 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 5 hours ago, colhint said: Not skint as such, but no team in Europe has suffered more through covid. 36% some £42m of their turnover of about £116m comes from gate receipts, no tv money. Last year they made a profit of £13m. which included some CL money. Knock off that £42m and no CL they could be looking at a £35 to £40 million loss. People don't realise how little the domestic TV money is in Scotland, Celtic will definitely need to raise some cash to offset Covid/CL exit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Now we have missed out on the 30 goal a season wilson.....let's get this done... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think we were never in for Wilson despite the links. Have a feeling we’re in for Edouard. Not been many links but he fits what we’re looking for and usually we keep things quiet when going for players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic would probably leak it so as to stir up more interest and escalate a bidding war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 £25 mill plus add ons and throw in Taylor/Lansbury I reckon would be tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I can't imagine he will be at Celtic for another season. The kids got ambition. Just throw money at him and get this done. Id like to think it's as simple as this but again with Rashica he is probably waiting to see if Arsenal want him. (I think they're pretty stacked up front though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part of Taylor/Lansbury do you think would be tempting to anyone? If anything that drags your £25m down to about £20m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil van Dyke had to use a stepping stone of Southampton from Celtic, before his "big" move to Liverpool and Andy Robertson went to Hull before ending up at Anfield. ( albeit from the arabs.) Here's hoping he goes to Villa first . Edited September 6, 2020 by newhavenhibby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 If we really want Edouard then just go and put £40m on the table. No add ons, no future percentage of sell on. We’ve seen clubs spend £40m-+ on players like Joelinton and Haller. That’s the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what we're reading, I don't think Celtic are in a position to be turning down £40m bids. There will no doubt be complications surrounding this 40% sell on clause that PSG have (someone quoted from pages ago) that may be holding any deal up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton and Haller were relatively successful in a strong Bundesliga. Not a weak Scottish league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
