Convict Colony

You of all people fell for this 🤣

what does this Chilean know about surviving in the premier league, we need some British grit not some flouncy from the southern hemisphere.

I'm seeing a theme here, maybe i should take back saying we should exploit the french market more, maybe they have been exploiting us !

Logically this report that we have now agreed personal terms with o'reilly leads me to suspect the club are going to agree the fee shortly. Atalanta seem to be looking elsewhere at present as well according to Corrielle dello Sport who have listed that Atalanta are ready to turn their attentions to the Norwich's Gabriel Sara if they cannot strike a deal with Celtic for Matt O’Riley.

yeah defo MLG, they are discussing attendance sizes and twitter followers.

Wonder how long Fraser and Newcastle at logger heads for. Been quiet for a few weeks, assume hes training with their youth team or something.

Not sure if @Ted Bates Statueis ted bates on Celtic talk but whoever is seems to be doing a good job of pissing off Celtic fans.

Anyway back to O'reilly. Honestly i always fined it hard to gauge SPL players values, yes he has good returns up there but how do you grade that v say the premier league ? Virgil was obvious, vic was a destroyer but goals and assists up there is always hard to judge. We aren't the sort of club to take a risk but i guess if Russ wants him, he knows his quality from MK we just have to support, but doesn't sound like a deal is close at all, wonder if celtic will take 18M + add on's but i'd be loathe to go higher myself. For comparison Stuey Armstrong in one of his seasons got 15 goals and 7 assists, dont have a stat for losing the ball in the centre circle to compare though.

no chance he's coming here then.

That go fuck himself comment was set up superbly.

Pretty chaotic opening half. Comedy defending, losing possession far too easily. Suppose that's what preseason is about and we have a lot of young and new players involved.

Just checked and the answer is no.

Its been proven to get better engagement - One of the most compelling benefits of creating shorter videos is the increased level of engagement from audiences — short-form videos are 2.5 times more engaging than long-form videos.

we already have valenciennes in the 3rd tier

I'd like to know how he can massively rate him when he has hardly seen him play, weird no ?

It’s been reported that recently promoted EPL side Southampton are preparing to bid big to land Matt O’Riley. No exact figure has been mentioned, but it’s likely to eclipse the £25 million we received for both Kieran Tierney and Jota. Although I’d urge a note of caution as it was reported by Daily Record, but don’t be surprised if there is some substance to it as Matt is a player who’s signature is very high in demand. https://thecelticstar.com/southampton-set-to-break-celtics-transfer-record-with-huge-oriley-bid/

Big news

Send him to Gozteppe and see if he can force his way in their

Assumed he'd flown over private

He's scottish he has to wait until its under 15c or he gets his factor 80 sent to him.

If i remember rightly and my saintsweb accounting makes sense we bought tall paul for 15m in Jan 23 so this sale in what would be a 3 financial year so on our books he would be amortised at 5m this year so 7m would put us in profit i guess this year.

More on the O'Reilly bit from the Atalanta side "O'Riley (2000 midfielder) has already approved the possible transfer to Atalanta and already has a basis of understanding with the Bergamo club for a long-term contract, most likely five years" https://www.atalantini.online/blog/terza-offerta-per-oriley-le-cifre/

Honestly i am surprised we aren't shopping more aggressively in France given their clubs not having a tv deal, we were linked with 1 but thought we would be after more, there are possible bargains to have. On the other side i cant think of any french player who was ever any good for us outside of morgan getting picked up just after his birth back in the day.

Probably one of the best support strikers we have had, terrible as the main striker though. As others have said Torino play with 2 up so assume he will be playing the support role and the serie a isnt known for high scoring games so assume they will be happy with him scoring 5 and assisting 5 this year.

I hate this new bullshit agents, reporters say "project" Like Che Adams is going "tell me what your 5yr plan is as a club, how will you move it forward, what is your budget, playing style etc" In reality he is saying "how much is my wage again, ok make it a bit more and we can skip the need for a goal bonus"
