John Arne Riise

ive noticed recently on bbc sport that riise is probably going to leave liverpool during the transfer window for around 5 million. Newcastle have been interested and so have Roma (who look like they will get him) but i think celtic should put a 6 million bid in for him. he's still only 27 and has got quite a bit to go and i know people will say oh but the own goal against chelsea oh no dont go near him but one dodgy own goal doesnt make you a bad player. in my opinion he is better than fabio auerellio and definatley better than naylor who is no past it a wee bit and is getting knocks nearly every game. i think he'd be a geat signing and would definately knock a few goals in plus hes another threat from free kicks

Roma are lining up a £3m bid for Liverpool defender John Arne Riise. (Daily Mirror)

what do you think ? :icon_mrgreen:

 

He would be a great signing yeah, but what are his wages like?

 

i dont know but probably pretty high since he's playing for one of "the big four" and if hes leaving they will go up but if we sell all the players we never use like donati, riordan and balde then we'll have saved up enough pennies hopefully lol

 

would be a great sigining... but the question is whether he would come?

 

his wages would kill us and i dont think he would come to scotland, thats the stumbling block in playing in a poor league with only 1 BIG TEAM

 

Can't believe he's indeed only 28. I thought he was like 34. he seems to be around forever.

 

Na i can,t see it happening ,don,t think he would want to play in the spl also how much is he being paid just now

End of discussion me thinks!!!

 

Yeah true i doubt he would be interested in coming to us if he has the chance to play in serie a for Roma, they will also be able to offer him better wages than us.

 

wages would be an issue, plus id say he wud rather go to play in italy, spain.

 

I would buy him, Sell Graveson, Buy Risse and Give him 40,000 a week.

 

nah

 

even though he gets 80k a week at lpool

 

I think he would be a great signing but I agree with the rest of you that his wages would be too hih and he will probably prefer to play in a better league

 

the wages would be out of celtics budget

 

sheesh i thought he was older than that also maybe about 32

 

Have always rated him, but we cant match his wages + will not get top EPL players

 

could we not spend the 40,000 wages on a bigger player

would like to see him but wages are far too high

 

we haven't spent £5m+ on a player since 2001. 7 years ago. we would never spend £6m on a left back, it would probably be 30%-50% of our budget, especially for one who has crossed the half way line of his career. oh, plus his £75k a week wages. he won't take a 50% wage cut. no chance. no point even discussing it.
