Shance Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 (edited) Doesn't matter what Celtic do in the CL if Van Dijk has decided to leave. I think they just want to keep their best players long enough to help them qualify. Same as what happened with Forster and Wanyama. Qualify is a lot of money for them.

Webby Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 If we get Virgil I will officially call it a very decent transfer window. It'd be good, but most of what we've bought so far are replacements for those that have left. I still think we need to strengthen the bench and/or have different options.

Saint IQ Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 Not rumoured but if we are after another CM as Guan says I've always rated Michael Bradley who now plays for Toronto FC in the MLS, he's a 27 yr old , energetic, technically good midfielder in his prime and far too good to be in that league at his age.

We want to be getting our players on the bus ready for our season. And what if they qualify for the CL proper? It could be into September. They did this with Wanyama, but I hope we can get him released to suit our timetable, rather than Celtic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redslo Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 Yes, Michael Bradley would be good. Not sure there is any intel on US players in the famed Black Box, however. There is lots about him in the black box given the easy availability of MLS video. That being said, there is little chance he would be available before January since Toronto is in a tight play off race and will need him to keep (or improve) their place in the standings. (Standings is correct because it is a North American league.) Also, he appears to be on 80K pounds per week so he is too expensive for us. Bradley's wages are huge so can't see that happening. Decent player but rather have Clasie and Vic. Giovinco though has been brilliant, but again DP wages. Giovinco is reported to be on 86K pounds per week. Please note that I am using google, not Football Manager for these numbers. I am not sure if that is better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
