    Don’t know if there is a thread for this already but given what happened to Craig Gordon today I was talking to the boys on the bus on the way home about what a great deal he was on a Bosman when you think about it and it got me thinking and us talking who are your top 3 Bosman signings for Celtic since 1995 when this rule came in, in terms of contribution etc, players with development fees are allowed we haven’t signed too many but don’t think we have really signed any standout bad ones but as for good ones for me it’s

    Gordon
    Lustig
    Dembele

    Jorge Cadete
    Bobo Baldé
    Charlie Mulgrew
    Joe Ledley
    Kelvin Wilson
    Adam Matthews
    Mikael Lustig
    Craig Gordon
    Moussa Dembélé
    Kolo Touré

    Choosing a Top 3 is difficult. The players who would have cost us the most under ordinary circumstances?

    Jorge Cadete
    Bobo Baldé
    Moussa Dembélé

    What i'd do to have these back in the squad.

    The list of Bosman signings Juventus have made is frightening!

    Roy Keane was a Bosman Im sure. No a bad standard of player to get on a Bosman

    Telford was no world beater. But for that money he was solid and Strachan knew what he was getting. (Son in law) I thought the fella done alright with us and he got a bad rap because he wasn't the standard of signing we expected.
