[Link] Aleksandar Tonev

He's talking with and wanting to join Villa according to the Birmingham hacks, Stiliyan is on the scouting network there along with being a youth development chief and doing his UEFA coaching badges with them and he has been in touch with him, thats what has probably turned his head, three million ffs, that would of been a doddle back in the day.

 

He will go to Bundasliga or how ever you spell it,CL or not.We're not gauranteed CL ourselves,his choice.Me i think we missed out on a good player,been following this saga for a while,no worries Bhoys we'll track down talent,trust Neil and Park,they ain't stupid.

 

We could certaintly attract them, many young Polish players do go to Germany but thats just down to proximity. Much the same way many young Scots go to England because the league has more money and it is close. Wages wise Polish players would jump at the chance to come to Celtic though.

 

I watch it on streams, I doubt anyone outside of Poland shows the games because the standard isn't all that great unless the top teams are playing.

 

What worries me about this deal if they have offered more money is that their chairman's son is the one helping tonev with his move so may point him in Villa's direction because of this.

 

Any player that would choose an EPL relegation battle over the Hoops is not fit to wear the badge.

 

Yes but Petrov can fill his head with nonsense.

 

This is gutting!

 

If they have to think twice about CFC, do not want them, whoever they are!!!!

 

Villas a big step down small club in a big league. Money talks

 

Forget about him and move on... there are better options out there.

 

Spot on, if only money will get them interested then I wouldn't want them here.

 

We should probably wait until he actually signs for Villa (or someone other than Celtic) before moving on

 

Oh, come on!

I thought we resolved all this * a few days ago. Small club? Behave.

If he comes to us, it won't just 'be for the money'. To state that is just pure ignorance. We don't pay huge money. Unless he's coming for 15k over 10k or something like that. We simply won't pay more than 15k. We don't anymore. The draw of the PL and seeing what Paul Lambert is trying to do. Trying to building a young, hungry squad that plays nice football. Our average age last year was around 22/23 so he'll fit in perfectly. And we probably won't be in a relegation battle this year. Sure, it's easy just to look at the table and state '* they finished 15th, they must be terrible' but we improved massively as our team started to gel and finished 7th in the form table for 2013.

Please don't take it out on us. He hasn't even signed for us and I've seen all sorts of nonsense chatted about us.

 

Nothing has been confirmed yet but if he chooses relegation battles over a Champions League team then * mend him.

 

If he goes to Villa it will be because of the draw of the EPL and the extra money that's available there - end of. Villa at their very best are mid table makeweights and will likely be flirting with relegation again. If he wants to win things and play at the higher level of the Champions League, he'll choose to go to Celtic.

 

If he has, fingers crossed villa go down

 

One of us is insulting the other's club. The other is trying to actually see what his motivations might be without stating a cliché.

 

I think Aston Villa is a good club in a good league. Would not be a disaster of a choice if he went there.. its not * Hull. But Celtic is a much bigger club in a much smaller league, where you have the chance to win titles, and show off in the Champions League. So he should choose Celtic, and if it comes down to it - i think he will.

Wont bother being disrespectful towards Villa. I hate when people are disrespectful to us. If it was QPR/Hull/Reading it would be a whole different story.

 

If he chooses to goto a team whose best position will be mid table at best then ta ta you can watch us in the CL and think what might have been
