The boys got no control at all man. He just runs about daft with the head down and is ultimately technically limited.

Celtic were on Sunday night closing in on a £2million deal for striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo, with Paris Saint-Germain's Timothy Weah poised to undergo a medical in Dubai in the next 48 hours.

The Parkhead club secured a six-month loan deal for West Brom's Scotland international Oliver Burke on Saturday morning.

And the Scottish champions could raise their tally of January signings to three by the middle of this week.

Rapid Vienna, Parma and Dynamo Kiev have all made offers to Slovakian club Dunajska Streda for 21-year-old Bayo after 18 goals and seven assists in 23 games this season.

After an opening bid of £1.7m was rejected, however, Celtic have now returned with a take-it-or-leave-it offer worth £2m.

And senior figures at the Parkhead club were quietly confident of completing a deal for the Ivory Coast Under-21 international this week.

A loan move for Weah, son of former Ballon D'Or winner George, was delayed while the 18-year-old penned a contract extension with PSG until 2021.

The powerful attacker will now have a medical examination in Dubai tomorrow before meeting his new team-mates, with paperwork all but complete on what is believed to be an 18-month deal.

 

That's why we're bringing in weah to run cross it and let him smash headers in

 

Rapid Vienna have admitted they can't match Celtic 's spending power in the battle to sign Vakoun Issouf Bayo .

But they still hope to snap him up because they insist the Austrian league is better than Scottish football.


Celtic are expected to finalise the signing of the Ivory Coast international in a £2 million deal today after negotiations with his Slovakian club, Dunajska Streda.

Rapid have now confirmed their interest too in the striker who has netted 18 goals in just 23 games this season.


And Rapid - who eliminated Rangers from the Europa League group stage - remain hopeful they can tempt Bayo to Austria.

Sporting director Fredy Bickel said: "We cannot compete with the Scots financially

We have offered his club less than Celtic. We know that

But that shouldn't diminish our chances of signing the player.

"We are hopeful he will see that Austria is a better country for his football development than Scotland

 

Money usually talks in all transfers, pay the money get the player 99% of the time, we must be offering more wages and signing on fee.

 

We should be blowing Rapid Vienna's offer out of the water, they openly admit we're more than capable of doing so. Instead we're playing it close and risking losing a target.

 

He'd be the first signing of the window we've spent money on , let's hope it's not another McGinn saga.

 

They better not start their penny pinching with this guy.

 

The deals done it’s to be announced later on

 

Imagine being outbid by us

 

Sauce?

 

The bead of sweat rolling down Lawells fat chin while he adds another 0 to the the 5 he has already bid.

 

still millions of pounds involved , it's not 100k here or a loan fee there. then take into consideration wages and length of contract.

 

They only offered a 5 month loan deal
