    But McGinn is meant to be a Tim.

    We did eventually match Hibs' bid.

    Anyway, regardless of all that, I agree with you about the board. It's quite frankly disgusting. And as I said earlier, how many other transfers have we failed to get over the line because of this incompetence?

    Cheer up mate. Celtic are playing in the champ league and you're on here talking * about Lenny quotes you read in the daily record but that no evidence exists of online.

    Pathetic.

    Absolutely embarrassing stuff when your manager has been so successful in getting champions league for the last two seasons AND back to back trebles and the board penny pinch on one of his top targets.

    Whether you are a fan of McGinn or not that is not acceptable.

    Really wanted us to sign McGinn, but oh well. * happens. It's not the end of the world.

    The most attainable player imaginable, Brendan has been asking to go and get him for months and they can't even back him with the simple stuff like signing SPL players.

    Mcginn isnt a world beater, the piont is if Brenden wanted him he should have got him as its not even half what Armstrong went for, as soon as he signed down south his value quadrupled so hes now oot our league, great job board.
    Now go surprise us with a better player please as on tonights show we are weeker than last year.

    We could have offered 3 million and they would have knocked it back they were waiting for the English interest all along once that offer came in they accepted and then we matched it

    I'm gutted we never got him I've always liked him granted he doesn't walk in to the team but mid to long term he'd have been a great signing. We * it we messed both him and Hibs about and fair doos to him for going to Villa we could've essentially done more to make him feel wanted. The bigger picture is this was hardly a world beater we were signing and look at the mess this has ended up in it's not as cut and dry as its only Mcginn

    We only have ourselves to blame as it should have been wrapped up early doors. We fannied about and missed out on a player who we would have instantly made money on after signing.

    Must say iv been suprised at the attitude of self entitlement from our supporters about this move. Some thinking we are too good now to sign a player from Hibs, a team we signed our captain from. And others thinking Hibs should be grateful to recieve a derisory bid from us and that the move should happen solely because he is a celtic fan. We do not and will not get preferrential treatment purely on the basis that we are Glasgow Celtic.

    Tonights result only acts as a reality check and highlights our failure to invest wisely.

    Rodgers wanted him and seen him as a piece of the jigsaw that would see us progress. It didnt happen. We move on.

    Hibs were never gonna accept our bid, they clearly never had any intention of it, Villa never met their 4 million asking price but they accepted their first offer. anyway.

    I hope we stop giving them loan players now, * Petrie.

    First part correct - second part not 'should' but 'WOULD'.

    I don't care that he is off the market - he was going to be bench/backup at best. Not displacing Ntcham or Broonie, not this season anyway in what you would say is his typical position and no way is displacing McGregor or Rogic in the advanced mid positions.
    I'm happy to see Kouassi continue to grow into the holding mid role and recognize we have Bitton as back-up too.
    Just not bothered by 'missing out' at all.

    Oh and the second part - you have to believe that if Brendan said we absolutely MUST have him, it surely would have happened?
    I think they assessed it together and thought, "if we get him for decent price, let's get him, but no need to push the boat out for someone who isn't going to be starter for us anyway".
