Giorgos Giakoumakis

Think that’s too risky and we will definitely sign someone to replace him this window. Doesn’t need to be straight away but ideally before Utd on the 29th. We have plenty to handle St Mirren and Morton as it is.

 

If we added 10k onto his wages it works out 500k a year. Absolutely pennies to have a second striker as capable as GG. We could - and going of our previous success rates with the striker position WILL - spend far more money on duds before we have someone as good again.

 

Do we have any youth striker of GG's physical profile? I could see Ange deciding to test any such players. Jo was our main target, and now...we seem unsure of what to do.

 

* sickening at that fee

 

We will likely get a young project type in on loan I would imagine to replace Giakoumakis

 

But then do you get other players on less than that then wanting a wage bump. ?

 

Joey Dawson is probably closest in terms of size, believe he's 6ft2 and prolific goalscorer this season for Celtic B - 11 goals in his last 6 appearances. Not the same aerial threat as GG and not as physical, but that's understandable given he's only 19.

 

He’s worth 25k for me. If Mooy is on 23k if the reports are correct absolutely Big Jackie is worth it, he was pivotal for us to win the league last season.

 

Strange one.. he obviously wants to go and we are willing to let him go so can't really demand a massive fee..

Top scorer in Holland and Scotland in consecutive seasons goes to Japan for 3.5 million.. its just strange

 

I smell the hand of Lawell's involvement in this

 

Heads must roll deserved new contract wanted to sign new contract if it was better terms guy is a good player to accept offer of that magnitude even though the guys on fringe of starting 11 and is pivotal at times just scunnered

With a release clause that though what would have been the point in signing a 5 year deal at the time

We should have kept him until the end of the season and anyone wanting to buy him before then its £8M.

 

Sounds like a right cluster * situation, GG is the type of striker we need to get in and mix it with defenders, creating holes and getting other players to drift into the holes to bury chances, Kyogo has many great attributes but in a packed defence he can be anonymous and bounce off defences, we need different styles of forwards for our league of hammer throwers as space in the opposition box is a premium with the park the bus mentality of many of the opposition.

 

One of the strangest moves away in a long time from both parties. Celtic are crazy to let him go and he's daft for leaving. Surely if he has another great season he'll get his improved contract he wants.

 

Mikey Johnston to return and play as a striker like he did at the bigotdome.

 

Disappointing fee, but I'm just going to let the window play out before jumping to conclusions.

 

Would like to point out Romano in last year has been absolutley shocking with his news about Celtic got it wrong for majority of the season

Feel like I’m missing something. Seeing lots of people saying just offer him a pay rise etc

Isn’t the whole point he wants to play regular first team football? Regardless of his wage, he won’t get that here.

 

I mean the report is consistent with what's been said in Japan.
