Fash, be honest would you trade positions? In the CL groups, better squad with all the trophies in the bag, very sellable assets, very tidy profits on players and business model working superbly, proven manager in place who has never lost a domestic trophy in Scotland, 10, 000 more in attendance per home game, merch deal in place with a giant Adidas not a Castore, squad of serial winners.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd rather be in the CL groups, those trophies would be nice in the cabinet but mean nothing for this season, sellable assets is good if you replace them well.

Can't argue about being a better run business.

I wouldn't want a manager that fooked us back though, those 10,000 are only there when you're winning.

Your adidas kit is a stateBetter make but our kits are much classier than yours this year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Think I’ve made my feelings on the return of the snake pretty crystal clear on here, many times over. At the end of the day though, would I swap him for Micky Beale? Not a fecking chance.

Aye and you were all so positive about him when he left...

25m for Jota is unreal.

He's not worth that imo so Celtic doing really well. I suppose for the fans it's about who Brent gets in to replace him.

Might end up a summer of upheaval if Ange has a player or two in his sights as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It will make no difference at the end of the season.

You're trying hard here but you'd love to sell anyone for that kind of money. Meanwhile you're building a team of championship rejects and guys who basically can't get games elsewhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, i've just said it's great money for a decent player.

You said all this same nonsense before Gerrard wiped the floor with your 8 3/4 in a row champs. Lets see what happens when the season gets going.

New old manager the fans have to pretend to want now they've got him.
A star player on the go.
Two nobodies signed from below Championship level.
A bin fire waiting for a spark.

Maybe not quite as rosy as your telling yourself


----------------------------------------------------------------------
First..its not great money for Jota. Its scant compensation.

I was not confident Celtic would win the ten. Not sure where you get that from.

I'm normally confident Celtic will win the league. I'm normally right.

I don't think any Celtic fan has spoken about our two young singings as anything other than future prospects? Not sure anyone has spoken about how they look like they'll link up well or once had a £50M price tag

We have lost Jota by the looks of it which is a shame. Cracking player who I hoped would excel with the freedom Rodgers gives his wingers considering how good he was in the Ange set up. We'll never know but certainly wish him the best. he'll be a wealthy young man by next summer and likely still move to Spain, Italy or England.

So we have to move forward. If the £25M fee is true then Celtic will have ~£12M profit from him to go and spend on a replacement as good as if not better plus I'd expect Jota was on a decent wage at Celtic so that is available to get in a top player.

Mooy retired but a player everyone knew we could do with improving upon for the CL.

So no disaster at Celtic despite some attempts to make it look so. Transfer window opens tomorrow and we will see who Celtic's 1st team signings are when they begin.

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

We sold Bassey for that kind of money last season.

We’d have been stronger if we kept him on the park so not sure I agree. Kent or Morelos would’ve loved to have sold for that money given their inconsistency, but the highs they gave us and money generated from Europa run make that less of a thing.

So no disaster at Celtic despite some attempts to make it look so.

Just a retort to this nonsense

It's true though

Let's bear in mind he aint gone yet. Saudi's still to formally offer, Celtic and Jota still to formally accept, other interested parties still to consider their position.

Jota

Can't believe he's going to leave

Would watch him and wonder how the fck he was at Celtic . Skillful as fck but also a fantastic worker and team player

So many highlights...and that's just his hair

What a job Rodgers has now , replacing Ange ...and having to find an adequate replacement for Jota

I sincerely hope he has a gem up his sleeve

Was just thinking we're in a strong bargaining position. 4 years left on his contract, only 24 with his best years ahead of him, Nicolson (or whoever is leading the negotiations) will surely think if it's the Saudis he's dealing with they've got money to burn and I'm gonna make sure we get top dollar for him .

Their new players are being talked about in first team starting XI terms. Replacements for Kent and Morelos

Ours are replacements for Lewis Morgan and Eboue Kouassi

It’s not though

Also very ironic given possibly your best player that you are just about to sell was signed after a season where he couldn’t get a game for Real Valladolid.

It would be difficult to get a game for Real Valladolid when you are on loan at Celtic the season before signing for Celtic

Rangers were going stale and beale bucked them up by bringing in cantwell and raskin.

Cantwell has been excellent but all we heard on here is it will be a flash in a pan, he has history of form fading, time will tell

If sima can capture his slavia prague form he will be a huge success and note I said if.

Looks like beale is trying to build a team with more flair, bit more exciting, as they were well behind celtic in goals,scored.
The championship rejects as mags implies were well thought of, dowell scoring goals for Norwich etc and our other championship reject lawrence from Derby looked good, scored a few screamers before injury.

Looking forward to see if beale can gel these players and if he can could be an exciting team to watch.

If not celtic will win the league with the usual 18 points 😉

tbf he was too busy rinsing Tav

Be sad to see Jota leave, but that's what we do, bring players in and sell for a profit (usual caveats apply), I trust the club are well primed to replace him if it happens. Seen some chat of Tete and Borges, I recall Borges being linked to us before so that could be an interesting move.

From what I’ve been told, there is a £25m release clause in Jota’s contract.

Mind you if the Saudis don’t end up bidding for him they’ll get £1m plus 10% of the fee we obtain whenever we sell him and to whoever we sell him, no matter how long it takes.

They’d be better just not bidding. Can someone pass that on to them please. Ta

You were happy to take players back that fooked you, and fooked you in your hour of need
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you can drop players though and replace them very easily... not so easy to drop the manager.

Regrettably I see some legs in this story.....the club in Saudi bidding for him are managed by his countryman Nuno Espirito Santo. That gives it plenty of credence in my book. Cathro is on the backroom staff btw.......Benzema & Kante would be teammates
