Callum McGregor

Don't believe it for a minute. Transparent attempt to get the fans onside with the board.

 

Tbh we expected it.

Yet again though “player was keen to talk” but “accepts clubs stance” he will be next one away in January or next summer for £20m plus!

 

Next summer he's off for certain.

There's always a CL cushion for the board.

 

why are they offside with the board??? Rodgers wanted to leave and did KT wanted to leave can hardly blame the board. in terms of transfer activity, we have no idea who the actual targets were to start complaining about missing them.

 

Celtic kicked out out a last-minute bid from Leicester City for Callum McGregor - according to a report.


Brendan Rodgers was desperate to reunite with his former Hoops protege and made a deadline day move but the Hoops had no interest in selling their pass master.


The Foxes were willing to pay £20million for the Scotland international as the Irishman eyed a reunion with one of his key Celtic men.

But the Premiership champions stood firm on the day the sold left-back Kieran Tierney to Arsenal in a £25m deal and weren't willing to part with another marquee player.


And Dermot Desmond is said to have contacted the former Hoops boss directly to tell him the midfielder wasn't for sale at any price.

Leicester did sign Belgian international Dennis Praet on deadline but it's understood McGregor was the man Rodgers was desperate to pair alongside record signing Youri Tielemans in the heart of his Leicester midfield.



The Celtic star took his game to the next level under his former manager and the Daily Mailclaim the player was keen to speak to the Premier League side but understood the Hoops' transfer stance.

 

Was he * keen. He wanted to tell him to get to * snakey rat * and that was all.

 

next summer then

 

I hope Dermot has told the smiling reptile to not bother trying again while he’s at Leicester or any other club as there will be no dealing with him wherever he goes.

 

Except the ones we placed bids for that went elsewhere?

 

If we dont make the CL he'll be sold in January.

 

I don't think he will the KT money will cover any possible problems and then next year it'll be CMs turn.

 

No Chance doesn’t need to be sold and is a key player arguably more of key player than Tierney was. We just made 25 million and then some

 

McGregor is worth well over £30M as was KT. The rat can * off, not surprised the sleekit * tried a last minute bid.

 

Demott made the call, probably to give a clear warning to the Rat, we will never do business with you ya rat *.

 

Nah that money is covered by Tierney. Hes next summers big sell unless a player really shines so bright he gets overlooked.

 

How many times did we hear "we dont need to sell" about KT?

Wasnt Moussa a key player?

Wasnt Lustig? Despite the fact he was done and we had no alternative.


Yet we just offloaded one of the best young full backs in Europe for 5m more than Oli mcfuckin burnie.

The way we've conducted ourselves this window its plain as day that NO real investement outwith Juilen was being made until the KT money was in and the English window was shut.

Our board WILL sanction a bit of a spend now that the nest egg has been effectively covered, but you can bet your balls to a barn dance that if we dont make the CL Cal will be sold to offset the "loss".

 

I think him or someone like Eddy will be sold next summer.

 

Tierney choose to go the club put a not for sale sign on McGregor all summer won’t risk selling McGregor could sell Ntcham and maybe Rogic to make up any short fall.

Moussa was sold last day of the window down to the rat different situation entirely

Lustig was to a degree but see when your recruitment team has been ripped apart and needs to be rebuilt you’ll always get a transition period, different manager different targets Pistol Pete won’t sanction Cal Mac Deal he knows the backlash from it

 

He will be here till next summer and then sold....the next in line to maintain our bank balance of 40 million.

 

DD made the call because PL won't speak to the snake
