Odsonne Edouard

I agree with Strachan.

 

ASTON VILLA are to test Celtic with a £30million bid for French goal machine Odsonne Edouard.

Villa plan to spend big and have several targets but the Hoops forward, 22, is their priority.


Boss Dean Smith is also keen on Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma from his old club Brentford.


But he first wants to find out if Edouard can be snatched from the Scottish champions after bagging 28 goals last season.



Arsenal may drop out of the race to leave the door open for the Midlanders.

Crystal Palace and Leicester are also in the hunt.

Edouard has not shown any sign of being interested in a move to a ‘lesser’ English club but Villa have cash to tempt him with a major contract.

Their financial power is also giving them a chance in the Watkins and Benrahma races.

 

does my * in, all this ''testing celtics with bids''
celtic could just knock this * on it's head by stating that we will be looking for bids in the £50m - £60m region instead of waiting to see who will offer the most money at the last hour on deadline day.
i know it will never happen though, big Pete will at this very moment be getting his wee casio calculater out to see how much profit can be made on Aston Villa's deal.

 

He can do far better than Aston Villa.

 

Would he even want to talk with villa.... Hardly a step up

 

Thats what we said about Van Dijk/Wanyama/Forster to Southampton. Can never rule out the sway of money

 

Fail to see how 30 million is a “test”. It doesn’t even cover the missed champions league money anymore

 

Dembele turned down Brighton tbf

 

Yeah there is every chance he'd turn.down a move to a team like Villa, I'm just saying we'd be silly to take that as a given.

 

Southampton were/are a much more established EPL side though, plucking up bargains from all over and more attacking..

Villa are more defensive, and much poorer overall quality wise, plus no being established as they will struggle to survive most season's..

I'd imagine he'd still talk to them but it wouldn't be a good career move for him in my opinion. Half decent striker's from decent leagues are going there and looking pish..

 

There's more chance of me joining Villa ffs

 

Maybe more established when they signed Virgil, but only on the league 1 season when they signed big Vic

Inthink it would be a poor move, he's better than them, but you never know

 

And Villa are a much bigger club than Southampton.

 

Celtic will hold out for 40 or 45 million

Just watched the highlights on YouTube as I missed the game but you can hear Brown shouting “* pass it you!” At him just before Ajeti scores

 

He should've squared it once or twice second half before that as well..

2 player's second half near the penalty spot and he was greedy. Can't mind who was there..

 

30 million and he will be allowed to talk no chance we turn that down

 

True

 

Villa can take their £30 million and .uck off. The barest minimum is £40 million. I say £50 million. Yes .uck off!!!
