WE CAN AFFORD FULL TRANSFER FEES AND WAGES 4 BELLAMY AND KEANE.

No we Can't.

Say by some Miracle they were our transfer figures.
We Still Need a Cb (2 Million) Juarez (3 Million) and a Left back (1.5 Million).
They are just like rough idea figures so thats 6.5 Million.
Take that away from the 14 Million leaving you with 7.5 Million (if i can do maths.)
Bellamy/ Keane will cost 8 Million +.
And that still means Zaluksa in goal.

This is however one of the most exciting Transfer windows in a long time , we seem to be making a lot of Changes.
In Lennon We Trust.

 

Yeah i heard it discussed a few seasons back. To do it he would apparently have to increase his stake in the club rather than doing it through a straight "heres a few mill to buy x, y and z"

 

Don't think Lennon is concerned about LB anymore. He has Mulgrew and Misun both healthy at the moment. That 8 million figure left would only be money generated from sales though. I'm sure they'd be willing to spend a little bit of extra cash, I haven't seen anything from the board saying that we can only spend with money we've generated from selling players.

 

I dare say there's nothing to stop Desmond just giving £5million to Celtic...would probly have to be accepted through numerous amounts of different accounts or something..not sure on all the legalities like..but i'm sure if i walked up to Celtic Park and said"here theres a fiver!"....they are'nt going to say no are they?

 

ok.

i wouldn't waste the money anyway.would be better off buying a few younger players who we can profit off in the future

 

of course they are...they have to do it in the correct manner as they are a plc. Lots of reasons these things aren't simple stop market regs and money laundering being one regs

 

We have 4 left backs(Mulgrew,Misun,Carey,Conroy), 4 rightbacks(hinkel,caddis,duri,wilson), Centre-backs(hooiveld,rogne,thompson,o'dea,loovens), still need another dominant centre-half, a deep lying hardman midfielder and a striker.These are the priorities.

 

depends if its a junkie fiver or no

 

well we are asuming that lennon only has the money from the transfers but there will be some money already in place prob's about 5-7 mill so with the transfer money there should be around 20 mill hopefully lennon knows how to spend it wisely or think could be 1 big * up but he did say he wants rid of the last year contracters and dead wood so expect a busy 2 weeks i think lawell will be doing al bussness while our geat club is in the state's

 

i always thought because Celtic were on the 'Alternative Investment Market' on the stock exchange that cash donations from a wealthy businessman is allowed. I'm not saying Desmond should - he has done loads for our club over his 12 years or so. I think people miss the point in terms of big - money signings. Celtic can afford to spend £6-7 million on one player if it was a transfer fee alone, the problem is the wages which accompany a big name player. To sign both Keane and Bellamy it would cost £14-15 million in transfer fee's alone. It would then cost somewhere around £120,000 per week in wages. Say they sign a 4 year deal the cost of their base wage, should they take a pay cut to 60 k per week, it would cost £24.96 million over 4 years. Theres also their signing on fee, appearance fee, goal bonus, trophy and european bonus. Say they get injured - theres no money left to sign other players, and our left-back position is still in need of being addressed, as well as central defence. Some people need to get real i'm afraid - they just see the transfer fee and automatically think that is affordabel without taking the wages into account. To spend £40 million on 2 players over 4 years would be absolute madness no matter how good they are

 

He wouldn't have to spend another £5m procuring shares just so he could put £10m of his own money into the club.

The amount of shares you have relates to how much money you are entitled to out of the club, and how much power you have in terms of decision making.

It doesn't restrict the amount of money you are able to sign over to the business.

 

Bellamy would be a much better signing than that of keane, he offers more upfront and has the flair that woluld bring everyone back to parkhead (plus he hates the huns lol). We definitely dont need another right back with hinkel and CDR there aswell. The other main position without a doubt is centre half we need a strong quite pacey dominant defender not another josh thompson who has zero pace !! Maybe another winger as maloney an mccourt are both made of glass an it looks like McGeady iss off aswell.

IN LENNON WE TRUST

 

Usually is :icon_mrgreen:

 

Don't get too excited by those figures, they're media guess work. There are other expenses involved in signing players such as agent fees and signing on fees.

 

Have to disagree with you a little bit there mate. I do get what you mean about the "who stays and who go's" thing, but Boruc was near enough a certainty to go, as was McGeady, and everyones got their speculation about Hinkel too.

The formation, don't really know, we were playing 4-4-2 if i remember right at the end of last season, but Lennon will be working with what players are at his disposal and what formation works best for them.

As for who will be in goals, i think Zaluska will take over, and Cervi will be #2, unless Lennon purposly buys/loans another keeper, cos he'l obviously favour his own signing i would imagine!

But as for captain, i have no actual clue, i don't think anyone doe's! It's something he'l have to look at in training. Who is calling the shots and being the most dominant player, but at the same time, it needs to be a starter.

Totally agree that it's quite exciting and draining though! Particularly the Ledley, Cambell, Bullard, and Barerra deals!

 

HOOIVELD WILL BE CAPTAIN .THIS WILL BE HIS YEAR .HIM AND YOUNG ROGNE IN CENTRAL DEFENCE. :bbpd:

 

Bet you we have shifted around £120k p/w in wages with all these departures. Maybe a little more !

 

Not in a million years. What do spurs want for Keane??? 10-12 million. 65k a week wages = 3.4 million a year. then a signing on fee?? 1 million/2 million maybe.

Give him a 3 year deal and using the figures ive quoted the minimum we would be spending is 21.2 million quid.

Imagine doing that for 2 players in the same transfer window. Would never happen for us

 

With the money we have we should do something. Spurs already said Keano would not be available through loan
