    He wants to go and we need the money. What makes you so optimistic?

    I think he might we'll be away, but I'm not sure how we need the money. We aren't desperate for cash.

    Dunno, but we seem to sell someone for a fortune every summer now and aren't sitting on wads of cash. I presume we need the money. Lawwell certainly seems to think so. :54:

    I wouldn't believe a word that comes out Lawwell's mouth. We sold Forster and Watt in the summer for a total of £11.2m, and we only signed one player for a transfer fee in Scepovic, and that deal was roughly £2.2m IIRC.

    Probably go on the last day of the window.

    "No time to bring in a replacement".

    Lawwell will be creaming himself at the thought of another massive bonus while RD takes the stick for the team going backwards.

    He doesn't want to go. He wants to one day, not now. We're not stupid enough to let such a top quality player go with the Inter games coming up. The big man is staying, hail hail Virgil :50: :shamrock:

    The sad thing is, this wouldn't come as a shock. Lawwell done well at deflecting the blame on to Deila after the Maribor game, when he done his scripted interview a week or so later.

    Even if he doesn't go there's no excuse for us not bringing in a centre back as soon as possible.

    We should do our best to hold onto him this month and if he wants to, let him go in the summer.

    We've got a treble and two matches against Italian giants to play, I'm sure we can convince him to hang around for a while yet.

    I honestly think it is very hard to judge Celtic players on their SPFL games. Because we have so much of the ball defenders have very little pressure on them and strikers get loads of chances. For most of the teams in the BPL it is not like that, at least not for the teams who buy our players.

    I reckon we will keep ahold of him till the summer at least.

    Although Inter aren't the same side 2 good performances against them will only make his reputation go even higher.

    I really can't remember the last time he was really stand out defensively, there were games where he didn't let a single player passed him, made some great tackles, played some great balls up front and corrected the mistakes of other players. He's still does some of these things in games but more often he makes mistakes himself and isn't as solid as he was at the start.

    He'll stay till the end of the season. Collect his four medals then leave in the summer for £10million :50:

    You know this how? As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been an official bid from anyone yet, so how can you be sure they aren't prepared to pay £8m?

    Barca never shipped loads of goals by Wilson... Take the 8million.

    Oldco did though. Wilson got an assist for one of them.
