Unless they are complete morons and keep thinking we'll accept x amount, there might actually be a chance that we haven't told them a set price that will seal the deal.

Obviously the board will know what price is to be accepted, but due to the interest keep it schtum.

 

Seems clear we want £25m up front with around £2m in add ons. Not enough for me but I don't really care about the money now. I'd accept that bid so we can get Engels and McCowan in as soon as possible.

 

£14m to £14.3m. What a * * take.

If PL has told you a price, that's the price. Have they even done their research?

 

Offer the * asking price. * hour ffs

 

Said at the start of the window think we'll take around 25m with a sell-on bumping it to 30+ longer term, still think that's what it's edging towards.

 

Give us the dough or it’s a no go!!!

 

We’ve got them over a barrel considering they’ve just sold Koopmeiners. I’d be pushing for £30m considering what they got for him

 

Fs only 21 I thought it was up at around 25-27 by now.

If they get it to 25 then I’m sure we will accept. 25 seems to he to the max in Scotland. How the * did Shakhtar get 100m in the Ukrainian league? Is it they much better than here?

 

It's a case of coming to the table with wee extras at this point

Next offer they give will be the last I think

 

Pre-war their league was quite good, and Shaktar have usually performed reasonably well in Europe and I think that is a big issue we face. If we performed well in Europe, we get more for our players.

 

they just doing what we did with Norwich and most deals.

 

There was one of those Italian journalists suggesting that is what we are doing. I don’t recall which one but said we wanted €29m + €2m in add ons and they had offered €25m +€2m but Celtic could raise the asking price to closer to £30m.

 

Good. We're well within our rights..

They can sell a player for 50/60 mill or whatever it is and think they can haggle us by a mill tops or something everytime they come to the table? Nah..

We're cash rish and don't need to sell. O'Riley signed a 5 year deal..

Pay up or * off. They're in the champions league. Won the Europa. They're flush as *..

 

How many times do these * need to be told no before they offer the asking price. Shame Brighton n Southampton have pulled out coz I'd love it if we told Atalanta to * off for their time wasting pish

 

Remain sceptical they will front the kind of money Celtic want

 

No shame would love to keep him.

 

£21.5 million bid rejected, but word is that they're not deterred and are preparing a £21.7 million bid as we speak.
