derry Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Celtic need a keeper, We are looking at Dembele, that would be a deal if we could bring in a replacement. Somehow I think Fraser's contract would kybosh that thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Fair enough, all sounds a bit convenient (without obviously knowing the person who said it, which would obviously add credibility). Hopefully not a case of mistaken identity then. I know we own (or at least used to) a few properties in and around OV so it's not unfeasible that they would be around there. I know him too, he actually text me at the time about it saying he'd just seen him. He's not one to make things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I think Fraser's contract would kybosh that thought. What a very good idea. At some point we (and other premiership clubs) are going to have to bite the bullet like Man City have done in the past and pay a serious chunk of a players wages to get them out of here. Oh and if Dembele is not thew man then lets get Tierney down here. He can play left back and centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Reedo must getting nervous. Without Promes (or similar) then its a very, very poor window, no question about that: - Sold best player for a world record fee for a defender and didn't replace him despite numerous examples of being poor from crosses -Suggesting the VVD money was up front (and would be reinvested), then saying it was in installments - Sizeable number of puff articles suggesting interest in Tosun, Walcott, Benteke, Shaw, Sessegnon, Sturridge, Mawson and suggesting we would be very active in the window - Only current signing is a squad player from another club who is a big risk for a big fee who quite possibly won't even be a nailed on starter - Sitting on a whole lot of wedge whilst we have struggled to score more than a goal a game for 18 months and are in the relegation zone. - A couple of other sides have added better players without a wedge of cash to spend Spartak seem to have signed what could be a replacement -Sofiane Hanni - so lets hope he gets the job done in the end but for huge a big deal as this a breakthrough would be needed very soon and MP didnt seem upbeat earlier.

vin Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 I should think so. He isn't going to take a pay-cut to sign for us.

GGalpin Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 I should think so. He isn't going to take a pay-cut to sign for us. True. Do wonder whether it is gross or net salaries though; think the Russian tax rates are different to England's, which would obviously affect how much more it actually is...

Promes getting a percentage of the transfer fee is probably helpful for his decision making as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 29 January, 2018 Author Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Personally I take the most hope from the fact that no other club seems to be mentioned in connection with him, apart from a couple of references to Liverpool looking at him a couple of years ago. Even Jordy Clasie had other potential suitors before we signed him. It does feel like it's us or he stays there and the story has been going for so long now it's hard to think he's going to stay now. We're going to do well to co ck this up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
