Surely he can do better than the SPL. No offence
20m rising to 25m turned down now. Sure 100m is no use now at this stage of a window, business would have been done earlier youâd have thoughtâŚ
Celtic have just turned down a bid of up to GBP ÂŁ25mn - ÂŁ20mn guaranteed & ÂŁ5mn in add ons. The English window closes at 7pm so I donât know if theyâll be back again. More than doubling your money on a player whoâs been about a 6/10 over his 18 months is in theory VERY GOOD BUSINESS but that would be dependent on Celtic having a proper recruitment department & player trading model in place. It would have made sense had Celtic, say, arranged to sell him in coordinated way & had 2/3 decent signings already made in January.

I think they should take it and give it to MON to spend

And the centre back joining on loan isâŚBenjamin Arthur.
20 year-old contracted to Brentford, has made 3 (three) professional appearances in his career to date.
Thatâs a bit mad to be fair.
I imagine Welsh will go back to Motherwell now. So the central defensive cover behind Scales & Trusty will be Dane Murray & Arthur.
No buy option mentioned here.
Edit: There is an option to buy in the full signing article.
Laughable really
Jesus they better ring back quick.
Johnny Kenny possibly away on loan initially to Bolton.
Its just not enough @Bandage. How the fuck can we have landed on the Brentford 6th choice centre half as an option in our current predicament. Weâd have been better hanging onto Welsh which is saying something
I think the Engels situation might actually spell the end for Nicholson. Imagine having to explain to Desmond that you had to turn down a 100% return in a player because you hadnât the foresight to plan for it and have a replacement lined up!! Mr Burns and his trapdoor spring to mindđ
Mvuka has failed his medical according to my sources in France.
Thatâs the risk you take when you leave it until the last day to take an option way down your list after lowballing Frosinone for Ghedjemis, leaving Redzic hanging on & pondering over Maswanhise.
Maybe theyâll sign him anyway - I donât know the exact medical issue.

âRetaining Engels is like a new signingâ 
It would be some laugh after they didnât bother replacing Kuhn in the summerâŚafter all troubles on the right flank all seasonâŚwhere theyâve played each of Yang, Forrest, Maeda, Nygren, Balikwisha, even McCowanâŚhow theyâve spoken throughout January about strengthening in that positionâŚif they manage to botch signing a right winger in January.
Celtic are monitoring out of contract right sided midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain!
I canât understand why Celtic donât lean into the Irish thing more.
Like sign Seamie Coleman on a 6 month loan.
Get a hold of Ferguson.
Ogbene, Festy etc
Looks like Mvuka is going to be signing anyway
Yes, the astute Celtic board have renegotiated the deal after the medical according to various sources.
Maybe itâll be a loan rather than an outright buy? That would be 5 loans in January & not a penny spentâŚalbeit a couple of options to buy.
