    Totally. O’Riley has already stated how he thinks in his development. If it were ahout money he had offers over celtic. He thinks of his career and not the pound signs

    If he has ambition he would say “no” to Brighton. Aye they are playing in the EPL but winning Jack *.

    From everything I know he also seems to really appreciate how special Celtic is as a club and what it means to play for Celtic. Money while I am sure not irrelevant is clearly not his number 1 motivator. Really hoping he stays at least until January if not the whole season but its clear whenever he does go he will always be a Celt no matter where he ends up.

    They've got a good record of selling players to the bigger teams in England. One good season there would be enough for him to get a bigger move.

    He would get lots of playing time at mid-table clubs but could struggle for playing time at a top five club.

    I'd be concerned about Brighton tbh. The fact it says "in talks" concerns me also.

    Would be a good stepping stone for him. Club that plays good football.

    Whether they'll pay the money we want is something else. I'd rather we kept him tbh. He's too crucial.

    You could see him wanting this move. They have a record of selling players on to top teams and other teams that pay mega money.

    They'd need to pay £25m with a sell on.

    As fans, he shouldn't be sold as we simply won't reinvest the money, we'll bank it.

    Aye I agree. And it'd be a nice bit of the country to move to, probably live in London, earn about 60k-70k a week.

    Could see it happening easily.

    Aye the 'in talks' comment set alarm bells ringing here, if this goes through and I think it might...it could happen very quickly. Long as they pay what we want I've no problem but would still rather keep him.

    "Ask what we want" comes across like they'd probably be prepared to pay the 25m.

    Brighton are building a very exciting side. Lots of good wingers. Would be a good stepping stone move - like VVD to Southampton.

    That said, I think he could do better than them. Much like Virgil was good enough to go straight to Liverpool.

    £25m isn’t enough though. Should be pushing for £30m.

    We will sell MOR and buy McCowan from Dundee. That’s the ambition from the board.
