Double it and you still probably wouldn't get him

ZERO chance of you signing him for anything less than 50mln... You are dealing with Darth Levy

Why not offer more?

That's the way things are done down your neck of the woods isn't it?

Year after year after year. Just throwing never ending amounts at players?

Have you run out now?

BTW if you do pay 50mln you are out of your mind.. Decent player but he's a product of being well coached..... something you guys don't do

Why did we even waste our time, although that is about the right price, Spurs will want at least 50m

Lol seems low.

He wont get better by you guys increasing the size of the check ! Regardless it aint happening, Poch doesn't want him to go and we don't need to sell

That's what is done almost everywhere, it's not exclusive to England. Spend money to acquire (seemingly) better players, rather than coach players to become better.

Happens in Scotland too. Well, perhaps just at Celtic. The rest of Scottish clubs don't seem to have a pot to p*ss in.

Celtic do spend more money than all the Scottish clubs, and have been guilty of mopping up all Scottish talent without playing them, especially under Deila (likes of Ryan Christie, Scott Allan spring to mind). Celtic do have a good knack for finding top foreign talent, most of whom are bought by English teams.

But it is a dire state of affairs financially for a lot of Scottish teams, but you do have the likes of Hamilton who have a very good youth set up

People are just jealous of our success.

Akin to offering £10m about 3 years ago... I'm guessing the source for this is the Daily Star/Sun/Mail?

Fair point but we were used to spending up to a giddy £6m on a player at one time under the O'Neil era.

Now it is very unlikely to go over £5m and this many years later. What happened to Rangers was a lesson for all teams in Scotland in trying to buy success with money we don't have.

All relative. 👍

Where is this being reported ?

independent

What's the source for this?

I don't rate Dier. I think he's poor on the ball and whenever I've watched him, a lot of good possession seems to break down as a result. He's obviously good at breaking up play and doing a bit of donkey work but we've traditionally had players in that role that can do that sort of thing as well as offer more with the ball.

If we just want that sort of player I'd rather see Tuanzebe sit in front of the defence.

Think you meant better

The source is Miguel Delaney.A chap who for the past year has spouted nothing but nonsense ( http://nonsensebutton.com ) regarding transfers relating to Manchester United.

---------------------------------

Rangers were badly run and it cost them in the end.

Out of interest, do Celtic fans know where the money from player sales, such as Wanyama, Van Dijk, Forster etc actually goes? It doesn't seem to be re-invested in the squad much.

Do Celtic need these deals to maintain themselves, you would think Celtic would be OK with fanbase, European money etc

so just to clarify, £50m would be a stupid price to pay, but a £25m offer is almost insultingly low?

and when united overpay for a player they are universally mocked, and when they offer too low a figure people ask why they aren't throwing silly money around?

blimey, when does the season kick off.

It's a circular way of life for us in that we really need either getting good pakyers in who can get us to the money pit of Grouo stages of the CL which in turn means a bigger and sell out season ticket income but these same players inevitably go for bigger fees which again improves income.

All well and good but the fear is that these players might not have turned into anything decent, we would t have CL football and win the league and then we lose about 15,000 season books. Nightmare scenario if you will so we have to have reserves for that potentially happening.

So far so good but if it did occur we'd have very little alternative income and it could set us back years.

Alll being part of a plc and seeing what happened to Rangers has taught us this. 👍

We are coached well enough to win three trophies in the last two years.

We must do better though.

too true don, its almost pointless talking about the cost of players nowadays because its too out of hand.
personally i think 25m is probably about right.

Expect Chelsea to bid now, been sniffing round all our targets this summer
