Vinicius Souza

I want him badly but has to be a significant loan period or have an OTB. I don’t want to develop other clubs players.

 

I think there was interest; the fact we have backed out (reportedly) is hopefully a sign we are confident of signing Souza; the more I read about him the more I like

 

The fact hendry and McGowan where first to break this and backing up mcgrory this could be a goer

 

I believe that's known in footballing circles as "doing a Shane Duffy".

 

Football Scotland can now reveal that those links are wide of the mark and that the Hoops have not - and will not - make a move for the player this summer despite these reports. Celts are, indeed, still on the hunt for another midfield option but Semedo is not one they are considering at this time.

It was agent pish me thinks

 

If we are unsuccessful in signing this one, we should just look for a defensive midfielder who can destroy, even if he cannot pass. There's no way we are going to keep possession in Europe this year, whether McGregor or Souza play.

Havent read any updates in any Belgian or Dutch news outlet for the past few days on him. So very curious whats going on behind the scenes. Brugge was told 9mil EUR was the pricetag, so Fenerbahces offer of 5 will have been laughed off.
I want to see him so badly in the Hoops. best DEF midfielder in Belgian Jupiler league.

 

Would cost us around £7.7 million to outright buy him, it's not a small fee for us but it's within our budget. I'd still be very happy even if it was a straight up loan, but what a statement it would be from us to get him permanently or on a LTB.

 

I've never seen the guy play, hadn't even heard of him until about a week ago.

Hasn't stopped me telling my wee ma that we desperately need him cause he'll take us up a level in Europe so get your holy candles out.

 

If he signs I’m getting a Brazilian.

 

I get that mate but you’re just kicking the can down the road. I like the OTB. It’s worked for both Jota and CCV and we should implement that again. If he comes in, plays well… sign him for £9m and if there is that much interest in him, do a Oostende and sell him on in the same window for a few million extra.

I’m not going to sit here and say I won’t be delighted if we get him, regardless of the option to buy. It’s an incredible signing but I just want our club to start putting ourselves out there. We are not a feeder club, we will gladly loan a player but we always take an option to buy.

Again, and I’m contradicting myself here, if he comes and he does only agree to a loan deal, I’ll still be happy. I’ll just end up crying next year when he leaves and ends up replacing Rodri at Man City.

I think we may have to buy him outright to get it done..

If it's a loan to buy i don't see why Fenerbache, Club Brugge or PSV say don't just do the same with a 9 mill say fee if they buy at the end of it..

What gives us the head start is going after our main man straight away and signing him. PSV don't know where they'll be European wise. Fenerbache can't afford him. Don't know if Club Brugge can pay more than us but we can definitely compete with them. Also some of these side's have bigger targets plus player's they're waiting to see if they can keep hold if in the same position's..

Just think a loan to buy evens the playing field a bit. The City group may have a big say..

Really feel like we'll get him..
