In saying that, Armstrong is miles better than Janko (even though they don't play the same position) so I still reckon he could probably get into a top half Ligue 1 team. I don't pay that much attention either. I just quite like Saint-Etienne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Rumour roundup 1. Celtic are apparantly willing to pay up to 10M for Odsonne Edouard (bad idea) 2. Celtic are going to send Eboue Kouassi on loan somewhere, probably Belgium (good idea) 3. Alexandre Pato tweeted a shamrock, therefore he's going to sign for Celtic (not going to happen) Edited June 12, 2018 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Judge Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm a huge fan of Stuart Armstrong, he's an articulate and intelligent footballer with a great attitude. He's done well at Celtic and got a few medals in his cabinet. Would be lovely to imagine him playing in Germany or similar but with his style of play and the money on offer I can see him in the EPL and think he'd enjoy the chance to visit Old Trafford, Anfield, Etihad, etc. I also think that would improve him as a Scotland international. If he's as good as I think he can be there could be another move a la Robertson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Looks more and more likely that Celtic will break our club record for French Eddie. 10M Seems a bit steep but we may be able to get PSG to knock the price down a bit as they need to sell players in order to meet FFP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastDitchTackle Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Does Edouard warrant a £10m price tag? To be fair the transfer market has been skewed by English football ever since the SKY TV deal began. Edouard has done well when he has come on, but for £10 million you would expect the kid to be one of the first names on the teamsheet. But I would still put Dembele and Griffiths ahead of him. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Totally agree. If the upfront fee is more than £4m I'd say it's a mistake that reeks of spending big for the sake of it. He's a good lad but doesn't look to have the potential that Moussa has. I'd rather we'd nicked Kamberi for 500k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all if the Chinese were willing to pay £11 million for him..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 An update to the rumour mill saying that Uncle Pete has managed to knock a million off the Edouard deal, making it 9,000,000. Still a lot, still not convinced, maybe he managed to get winter tyres as well. Oh, and Jamie McCart has joined Inverness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Jamie McCart has joined Inverness When you think of all the money we’ve spunked on strikers who’ve cost around £1m and £2m over the last few years that have been utter dross then this might be a decent bit of business, young and talented and we’ve had a year to check him out. Rodgers obviously likes what he’s sees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously something about his attitude that Brendan likes, and there is definitely room for improvement so I do agree that this could be a good signing, especially in this world of hyper-inflated transfer fees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this world where Ross McCormack costs £12m then yes, I’m all for it. [emoji4] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Brees Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Apparently Armstrong has asked away, palace, Brighton and Fulham are said to be interested. Wouldn’t be a great loss imo, don’t think he’s really been fully committed to Celtic, if we get £5m+ for him I’ll be happy. Will miss his song though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic don't need another Will He/Won't He drama with his contract. If he doesn't want to be here let's cash in now, use the money to bring in John McGinn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
