    More likely Crystal Palace or West Ham. Who knows what's true any more but if Leicester weren't prepared to meet his wage demands or Celtics asking price then who knows. Scoring 25 goals in Scotland doesn't mean you will smash the Premier!!
    It's quite a long window this Summer & I feel he will get showcased in the CL qualifiers to entice a desperate bid from newly promoted Premier clubs.
    Every team wants a goal scorer but no team wants a Prima Donna!

    I don't get this sort of hatred and comments towards him.

    Hes been here 4 years, far longer than the likes of Dembele, Wanyama and VVD ever gave us.

    Of course he now wants to move and in amongst the * of last season can you blame him? For other players like Mcgregor you see people using lennon etc as an excuse for his form but with edouard there's no such leniency, it was upto him to magically produce out of nowhere despite no * else playing well around him!

    There's a difference between losing your form and not giving 100% for the team.

    A player giving their all shouldn't need to magically produce closing down players, conviction with finishes or looking like he gave a single * while Lennon's job dived deeper in jeopardy.

    Anyone who can't spot Édouard falls into the latter category isn't being serious. The same individuals that made excuses for Ntcham time and time again for dog * 'efforts' in the hoops

    Leicester signed Daka instead because he’s in the mould of Vardy and is far more suited to being Iheanacho’s partner, not because they couldn’t afford Edouard.

    Come on Eddy, sign a new 4 year deal and shoe us the best of you the next 2 years then head off earning a bumper pay deal which will have been merited and we should do well in the process, your not the finished article yet

    I still don't agree with those types of comments.

    Given what's came out about lennon to be quite honest I don't blame him. He was still our top goalscorer last season, been here 4 years and you've got folk calling him every name under the sun.

    Let's be honest, a lot of it is probably because he's black, French and got a bit of a huffy face (which has always been the case).

    Some of the people calling Eddy every name under the sun will be the same calling for Griffiths to "prove the doubters wrong" and how he's a "40 goal season striker when fit".

    Eddy * me off as much as the next Celt last season. His form was pretty disgraceful but its weird to afford other players leniency due to Lennon et al's incompetence, however with Eddy he's a moody *, snake, lazy * etc. I think these accusations have been somewhat overblown. For me, Eddy's confidence looked * shot for long periods of last season - which is the most important thing for any striker.

    Agree, couldney have been easy working under a toxic atmosphere, he's a great player.

    The Board * up our season by allowing the * show to continue for so long, still angry about that tbh.

    I don't blame him for wanting to leave but I do blame him for a horrendous lack of respect towards a fanbase that worshipped him.

    He was an embarrassment at times, not the only one by a long shot but still an embarrassment.

    We weren't privy to what was going on behind the scenes, did a number of players just chuck it for no reason, or did they just lose all respect for Lennon ?

    Fair enough. As I've said though I still don't agree with comments I've seen in here for months, now. People wishing him serious injury etc. Thats embarrassing in itself.

    As you've said yourself he wasn't the only one in what was a horrific season. Horrific is putting it lightly.

    Thats not what the insiders at the club said. Rodgers was very keen on Edouard but Leicester couldn't get the deal done. Leicester always had alternate players they were interested in & yes I agree with you that Daka is actually a better fit.

    He asked to be left out of our games before Covid. He mentally checked out.

    He'll tear it up at his next club with a little application, nothing surer.

    When it comes to Edouard his ability is not in doubt but his character is. From Celtic's point of view it should come down to this:

    Right attitude, commitment, enthusiasm - stay as long as you like

    Sulking, no effort, disinterested - Get yourself to * out of Celtic asap.
