    He often plays on the wings though and is not a poacher like Soldado, tall but skillful, very similar to Samaras. I'd imagine if they wanted they'd sign him and Finny.

    That video of him is incredible. Reminds me of Paulo Di Canio.

    There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

    I do understand what you're saying though. We go in as overwhelming favourites but I'd err towards cautious optimism at this stage.

    He's good but he's no Kevin Doyle. Doyle has scored in the best ever league in the world.

    Heereveen demand £5m from Celtic for Hooper replacement Finnbogason

    Heerenveen have warned Celtic it will take an offer of £5million to persuade them to part with star striker Alfred Finnbogason.

    The Icelandic scoring sensation was watched by Celtic scouting chief John Park as he scored a 92nd-minute goal in a 2-0 win over Breda on Saturday night.

    Celtic are desperate to recruit new firepower after selling top scorer Gary Hooper to Norwich City for £5.2m and the 24-year-old, who spent two years in Edinburgh as a boy and idolised Henrik Larsson, has attracted favourable reports.

    Warning they would want every penny of the Hooper cash to part with their top attacker, however, Heerenveen have already repelled interest from Germans Werder Bremen.

    Sporting director Gaston Sporre admitted the Dutch club have cash problems, but insisted: ‘He’s good for at least 20 goals a season for us and we won’t sell him for a reduced fee.’

    ‘If we get a concrete offer for him we will negotiate, but our aim is to keep him here at Heerenveen. He hasn’t told us he is unhappy or asked for a transfer. We will wait and see.’

    Conceding the club could be forced to sell, however, Sporre added: ‘As things stand, we are losing a lot of money every week. This is a problem we cannot simply ignore.’

    Legendary coach Marco van Basten admits he could be powerless to prevent Finnbogason being sold, but wants to retain his scoring talents: ‘I do not want to sell him, but I know my place and I am not the boss at Heerenveen. If some club were to come in with a large offer, then there is nothing we can do but if clubs want to buy him, they will have to throw a lot of money at us.’

    There's no quote stating that it would take 5 million. 5 million euros maybe.

    I can't help but feel articles without quotes from Celtic like the ones from the mail and the record are just based on a reporter reading the posts of us all going mental on here.

    5 million, I'd say that's a safe investment. But they're cheeky * asking for the Hooper money.
