Liel Abada (Out)

8 million,10 million,1 million....whats it matter?its not like the club will invest it in new players.May aswell let him go for nothing.

 

Sounds like conjecture to me.

 

Got a feeling we won't be signing any Israelis for some time if at all

 

£8m is a great deal considering the circumstances, hopefully bring in El Ghazi as a replacement

 

can’t play till next season

 

Chances are Abada wouldn't play this season either. If we can sign El Ghazi on a free transfer for next season, it's an absolute steal! Let him settle in while training with the first team. He should be ready to make immediate impact once the new season starts.

Problem is, the board would never sign him cause they are a bunch of tories.

 

If he goes, and plays instantly then that'll say a lot about him. If he's not mentally in a place to play for us, he's not in a place to play at all.

If he goes and plays, then its clear he's downed tools and gone on strike. Pressured by his national FA and agents, who will have probably * any big move to a top side in Europe he aspired for.

The sooner this is done, the better for all and his first few interviews will tell us more.

Just invest the money wisely Celtic.

 

I know but can't sign any replacement just now in any case, looking ahead

 

No point pretending it's nothing else but that. He's downed tools and refusing to play. We're keeping it quiet as we want the money for him.

 

Totally agree with everything you have said there. If he leaves and plays this season in MLS then its a joke as nothing has changed really. We will see if this transfer goes through first though. But it does seem like he has just downed tools and if that turns out to be the case and playing in MLS would show that then any sympathy I had for him disappears.

 

Sky sports
Liel Abada is set to leave Celtic after a deal worth £10m was agreed with MLS side Charlotte FC for the winger.

It is understood the Israel international will travel to America this week to undergo a medical and finalise the move.


Abada will be working under former Aston Villa and Leicester boss Dean Smith, who is head coach at Charlotte FC

Celtic are expected to make a sizeable profit on the 22-year-old, who they signed for a reported £3.5m four years ago from Israeli side Maccabi Petah Tikva.

Abada signed a new four-year deal at Celtic in the summer after strong interest from other clubs.

 

Bit of optimism mate. We can buy like.. 6 Koreans with that money

 

Will be delighted when this is done.

Hasn't kicked a ball all season. £10m is amazing. Could've been more but could've been way less.

 

Delighted with the fee, because his ability isn't worth that. Good luck to him all the same.

 

* American club can spend 10 million on a player who hasn’t kicked a ball all season and yet we can barely spend a fart. Says it all

 

True, could have got 15 for him at one point. Not to worry.

 

We’ve absolutely robbed them blind there.

 

Anything over £5m in the current situation is a great deal for us. Shame we'll probably spend none of it anyway.

 

Actually shocked by that fee I genuinely thought he’d go for around 1m due to his situation

 

Highly controversial opinion, but it's possible the israeli lobby stepped in to find him a new team. Chances are they help out fellow israelis who support the IDF. Wouldn't be surprised if an israeli foundation paid whatever it takes to get him out of a difficult situation as soon as possible.
