    When clubs are getting 100 million in TV money you need to take advantage of such things

    Cheap options that Celtic bought that worked
    Henrik Larsson - £650,000
    Lubo Moravcik - £300,000
    I know there are others that worked and some that didnt work but when they come to Celtic there is always that chance they are a dud or like the 2 i mentioned absolute bargains.

    That doesn’t make sense.

    Edouard’s a prospect, Ajer’s a prospect, Ntcham as well, * Benkovic is...

    You are kidding yourself on if you think Celtic are going to get anything more than prospects.

    Tell me, who is in the starting 11 that isn't a prospect or a player comming to the end of his career?

    We are and always will be a feeder team into the likes of the EPL and guys like you have to get your head around that.

    I can see where @Blochairnbhoy is coming from tbh and that's not me ruling this guy out as I've not seen much of him.

    We could do with bringing in a solid defender with experience to help the young but talented guys we have there in Tierney, Ajer, Johnston, Morgan etc. Lustig should be that guy but his legs have gone completely meaning he can't do a competent job in Europe to be that player for us.

    All those you've listed are prospects but all of them have also wilted at times in Europe for us. If we load the team with talented prospects we'll continue to be inconsistent in Europe. By the time they gain the experience they're snapped up by another team.

    Look at the improvement in our play once Mulumbu came on in Salzburg. A player who is experienced in dealing with those difficult situations. It's exactly the balance we need to find.

    I’ve seen the likes of Johan Mjallby and Chris Sutton wilt in Europe. We will always be inconsistent at that level, the only player we’ve had who was genuinely world class in the last 20 years is the only one who didn’t in Henrik Larsson.

    Then again, look at McGregor, Christie and Rogic in against Leipzig and what happened when Mulumbu came on. McGregor is experienced in Europe now though but I’m meaning there’s no golden rule.

    If we have the option to get a cracking young player on the cheap because his contractual situation we can’t afford to ignore it because we don’t deem him experienced enough.

    Weird people saying we need experience against teams like Salzburg.

    Salzburg will be one the youngest teams we’ll ever face.

    Brown - comming to the end of his career
    Tierney - defo is a prospect for Celtic no debating that. Already seen crazy figures being stated.
    Sinclair - peaked in the Epl, went stale and came up to Scotland to get first team football.
    Boyata - defo a prospect, recently broke into the first team for Belgium and seems to be a different player. Will defo be at a richer club soon.
    Bitton - well tbh if he didn't get a right bad injury I dont think he would still be here. He would be down in at least the championship with his mate Johansen.

    Forrest/McGregor - yeah they are great players, but if even a championship team came chapping at the door (would be surprised if they don't soon) Celtic cannot say no to the big money other teams are throwing about.


    I'm more so getting at the fact we are a feeder club as long as we are in the SPFL.

    Never seen him play, value of a player pretty much means nothing if we're being honest when it comes to us.

    Glad we're looking for a right back though.
