    We've probably not even approached him, we'll wait till he's nearly signed for someone else then make an offer to at least say we tried.

    What a lot of *! There’s different factors involved in transfers.

    Does the player want to move to Scotland
    What team does he prefer?
    Should he want to play under gerrard or Lennon?
    Where will he get more game time?

    And the most important fact does he even like Celtic? The list could go on and on. To say we that after last season with McGinn is with you being arrogant or just an idiot.

    Last fact......We are right as * with transfers.

    Looks a player. We need a defensive mid. Available on a free / compensation fee.

    Be surprised and disappointed if we let him go to the Huns

    Money talks overall. We have far, far more money than them. If we want him, he's ours. They can't compete with us financially, which means if we're both going for the same player, he's ours.

    Unless we self-sabotage or aren't overly interested.

    We're also a far bigger club.

    They have a more high-profile manager; that's it.

    The higher profile manager shouldn't be underestimated to be fair. We've taken advantage of that draw ourselves plenty of times.

    I agree - especially younger players who grew up idolising him. IMO Lennon is a better manager
    Just re-watched this, exactly what we need.

    Peter - stop * about and make the lad a good offer. It's that easy!

    Its nothing to do with being arrogant, I'm not mentioning being in England or whatever, if the boy was happy enough to come to Scotland etc etc and it came down to a choice between Celtic and Rangers then we would outmuscle them in every single way. We would be able to provide trophies and medals, We would be able to offer more money, We would be able to offer a higher quality of football i.e. potentially champions league/Europa league.

    Before getting personal maybe you should try reading between the lines.

    I find it a bit stomach churning to think that we are competing with ‘them’ for the same players.

    What’s worse is he reportedly wants to join them rather than us!

    Would like us to sign him, but i have a feeling we're wanting Harper instead. Plus if he wants to sign for that lot his ambitions are low either way.

    Don’t know much about him..
    ....and aside from us apparently shopping in the same market, which is embarrassing.... I don’t think I’d want any player who has to take time to decide between ‘them’ and us....

    We obviously aren't talking to him..

    How many central midfielders do people think we're gonna sign?

    We've had Harper up and possibly that deal is done
    We're clearly trying to get Turnbull in
    We're linked with numerous other's from Holland and at the under 20 World cup

    He looks decent but we aren't gonna sign 3 or 4 for that position when we still need centre halves, rights backs, a back up left back and a striker..

    It looks like another made up story. It seems to have went from Arsenal, Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt showing interest, to it being one of those classic stories about Sevco battling it out with Celtic.
    Maybe he is having talks at Sevco.
    Only last Summer he was offered a new deal at Charlton on a 50% reduction in wages.
    So it looks as if the thing is designed to look like he's a highly sought after player all across Europe and Sevco are gonna beat us to the signing. However he's not signed for anyone just yet and typically a player like this will be of interest to clubs in England which he would surely take. over a potential doomsday scenario at Sevco.
    Gerrard might be a high profile ex-player, but there's no shortage of those in England and that's where i expect he'll end up at Aston Villa. Otherwise it's a story made up on followfollow to sell season tickets.

    The only reason we will be linked with him is because Rangers are after him. The media will literally do anything to generate a story and keep the "old firm" tag alive.

    In other fake news stories i read:
    Astonvilla have beaten Man City to the signing of Joe Aribo.
    Rangers want to sign Harry Wilson.

    Surely they aren't making money off fake news stories, pushed by news aggregators or blogs that seem to still be running after closing their business down, with the new Data Protection laws freaking out lots of companies, passing on personal data to betting companies like Bet365, would break GDPR rules.

    If it works expect a lot more not necessarily completely fake stories, but fake from the point of view Sevco are balls deep in the deal. If Celtic offered a contract on the 2nd and Sevco just made one phone call it's a fake story that one phonecall pushes a deal to be more likely than cash on the table from Celtic.

    You’re genuinely wired to the moon.

    When the window opens we'll probably announce it just after I think mate..

    Aribo might still be on the radar but no if we're after 2 or 3 other central player's..

    Some Journo did say today that we're in for him also so.....
