    Genuine question; where exactly did he even suggest that? :39:

    I think him saying he hopes there is something to the stories of interest in him has been taken by some to mean he is actively looking for a move.

    That's a almighty leap. He isn't actively looking for a move. He isn't out whoring himself for a move every week. He admitted that he hoped there was something in the interest from Athletico.

    Bottom line is this, as Croatian man with no previous relationship with Celtic, if Athletico come calling it will spike your interest. Maybe 10 times the pay, better weather, a team that is very competive in the CL etc.

    Just because he was interested in the Athletico development it doesn't mean he wants out or is seeking a move elsewhere. Athletico is an exceptional circumstance I think. It's not like he is climbing over himself to move to Brentford here.

    Took his comments as meaning he hopes there is something in it as it will mean he's doing something right. As any player would.

    Don't think he'd be as stupid to say it any other way.

    Nothing in those comments, any player would be happy to hear a team on Athletico's level had taken an interest, that doesn't mean he's whoring himself for a move ASAP.

    I think he’s just being honest.

    He would want to go to Atletico Madrid if they are interested, but he’s happy enough here. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

    My message to him would be simple. We will only sell if the right offer comes in and if he wants that offer to come in he needs to play at his absolute best every week.

    Exactly. He said Atletico are a big club...and that he is already at a big club with Celtic.
    The hoping there is/was interest suggested to me that he's doing something right on the park to have led to such a club showing interest.
    Plus he mentions all his croat team mates getting big money moves and improving the national team

    To suggest he is pushing for a move is ridiculous.

    No issue with what he said to be honest. I would be frustrated if we didn’t get at least one more season out of him, but if a club like Atletico comes in for one of our players and the money is right then I don’t think there is much we can do. It’s a very attractive transfer for a player.

    However, I would suspect clubs of that ilk would want to see how Juranovic copes in the Champions League/World Cup before they would be willing to pay a substantial fee for him, so I’m not overly worried about him moving in this window as I don’t think we will sell him unless the price is right.

    Every players ambition should be to play at the highest level possible.

    Agreed, there’s a bit of a blurred line for me though when players choose mid table/relegation sides in the EPL over us. They are playing against better players on a weekly basis but also miss out on playing in the elite European competitions and in a side that plays good, attacking football most weeks and wins trophies.

    Atletico is a different ball game though.

    That’s how I took it as well.

    Think most would be flattered to be linked to a side that has been consistently in the latter stages of Champions League and challenging for the title in Spain. That’s the sort of moves you wouldn’t begrudge a guy taking.

    Pretty much confirmed he’ll be here this season so that’s good enough for me.

    I expect a lot of interest after the World Cup though.

    If we start signing players who don't want to we are in trouble.

    You're saying you don't want more players like Johnny Hayes and Liam Scales :fear:

    I don't see any issue in what he is saying. If celtic got a good enough offer we'd obviously accept and he would be happy to go if we were happy to sell, which is perfectly understandble. Can't see him pushing for a move behind the scenes.

    Is that an actual quote from Juranovic? Disgusted tbh.

    It's one thing punting himself to every club that glances his way, but for him to come out and say he hates the Celtic support... :40:
