    They wanted £5m in July.

    We drove a hard bargain and held off till last week of the window and got him for £4.5m

    Cracking bit of negotiating on our part. Well done to Mikey Nic saved £500k.

    Just a pity it cost us £40m to do it

    He's beginning to make Mikey Johnson look good now. I've supported him before, but I've lost my rag with him now.

    Keeps failing to turn up in the big games. He's not Celtic class.

    I'm just annoyed I can't enjoy the signing, I think he's a good signing but the board played tight * and the joy is gone because i'm still deflated from yesterday and it's possibly cost us CL football.

    Penny smart, pound foolish logic as always. Almost like they are all accountants.

    Feel for him coming in surrounded by negativity that's none of his fault.

    I was wondering about this. Honestly, hard to believe that we are that poorly run. It's not the first time either, even if it is the worst.

    Quite genuinely, whoever made the decision to push for further incremental reductions in the fee instead of making the signing in time for the qualifier needs to be fired for that decision.

    Would be fascinated to see the logic behind it. Given player value is super subjective, it's honestly baffling they didn't spend it.

    Im not sure I've seen our support as collectively raging since COVID season.

    “I can’t wait to play in of one of the best atmospheres in the world” - cringiest bullshit line of all time that they definitely get told to say.

    So, Michel, when did you first hear of Celtic’s interest? “Eh, about 3 year ago mate”

    Probably best to skip past the usual "so tell us when did you 1st hear about Celtic interest in you" question.

    Answering 13 months ago is a bit of a brass neck for us
