    Maybe this should be on another thread but talking about defenders, if Jozo (quite injury prone already) and big Ajer were to pick up injuries are we really looking at picking 2 from Marv,Hendry and Biton for CL qualifying.That is some scary *.

    Sidetracking, but simply drawing a team with a plastic pitch immediately rules Jozo out

    The agent was trying to get the best deal for his client early in the window, deals stall happens all the time.. Us making it public was a different tactic..

    Broony's comments are telling IMO - he wouldn't have even have mentioned appearances if that wasn't the stalling point.

    Looks as if the Agent was wanting a clause entered that he'd be guaranteed 'x' amount of appearances which is fair enough from his end but is never going to happen at Celtic.

    This is big boys world.

    I simply dont buy the "his agent" pap.

    Whether the boy is dumb as a brick and give his agent carte blanche is irrelevant. He employs the *, hes responsible (and accountable) for his behaviour.

    As I said before he only wanted to move here as soon as we showed interest, his agent * everyone about.

    We obviously don't like his agent and that's why we've went public otherwise we'd have been none the wiser

    David Turnbull is responsible for his choices. He should also be responsible for stating what he wants. Not hide behind an agent. In the age of Twitter, he can say himself whether he wants to play for us, or not. If he agrees with his agrent, case closed.

    Aye because taking to Twitter is a Professional way to do business.

    Signing will be an indication of his intention.

    Nothing to do with McGinn but used as leverage? Contradiction there mate. Nothing to suggest Turnbull or his agent leaked info? Well Celtic replied to info that was put out there by someone connected with the deal.
    Yes agents do tout their players around but it was interesting that it happened bang in the middle of negotiating with Celtic at the stage of discussing wages because a transfer fee had been settled. As for the lad he went back on holiday at a really vital point of negotiations and let this drag on and if he’d wanted to sign from the start then he would have known that Celtic were offering a fair deal and signed.

    Think it's been blown out of proportion tbh, early in the wibdow etc. We have a lot of quality in midfield.. Club takes share of the blame for going public..Agent is well, an agent..
    He signs, job done people need to move on and support the lad.

    Really hope he signs for us, its been a bit of a farce over the last week but lets get him in the door.

    Also if he is asking for 'x' amount of first team appearances as has been mentioned, then this is a good thing. How many young players at his age are happy to be bit part players picking up a decent wage, at least he is hungry to play and develop. Speaks volumes of his attitude, giving there is truth in this of course.

    The thing, once again, we are not dragging ourselves on our knees, begging for our long needed RB better than lustig or a quality CB to sign.

    It is a 19 year old, who had half of a good season for a diddy team, playing against other diddy teams in the bottom half of the split, under no pressure as the team was already well clear of relegation. It is a less tried and tested player than Lewis Morgan, and we saw how Lewis Morgan ended. It is basically a gamble. 3 million is not an irrelevant amount of money, even in today's reality, and 10k a week is a lot for a player that has a very big chance of adding to the deadwood pile. For a board considered so conservative and pennywise, this is bonkers.

    Then added to these values is the fact that the guy is already being a snake and a diva before even coming in. Ok, it is 2019, football players are all scummy * bar one or another like Tierney, and this is largely to be expected. But not from someone who is absolutely nobody in the footballing world.

    If it goes wrong, and it could very well go the way of every other SPFL player we signed recently bar Armstrong, and Christie after what, 3 years of insistence, and we are stuck with paying 2,5 million over the course of 5 years for someone who did not want to be here, and we never needed anyway as we have Henderson, Okoflex, Dembele, on the top of the 4 stabilished central midfielders and many of our wingers that can do a job as AM fighting for one or two positions.

    Do we really need to beg to have such a player here, just because he is scottish and might go elsewhere if we don't panic buy him? Sometimes the pragmatic conservative financially wise thing to do is actually invest in the squad, not buying anyone who is cheap and might have a resale value in the future.

    Wasting everyone's time is less professional than being clear on one's wishes.

    But that’s not the lads fault it’s our management who are making him their number one priority.

    The anger should be directed to them

    I get this, but the actions of the agent and inactions of the player haven't exactly left either of them in positive light. I've gained a negative opinion of their personalities. On top of me not thinking we need Turnbull right now.
