    Starts for Swansea, easily one of the strongest teams in the Championship. Sounds like an ideal signing on the face of it.

    Roberts could be a bright young full back who takes to the premier league like a duck to water if they go back up. Our position on the transfer food chain means we have to snap these kind of guys up before they prove their ability.

    McBurnie on the other hand I wouldn't fancy at all. If our scouts like this lad I don't see why not. I don't hope our scouts don't like Oli :56:

    I'd rather have his brother, Patrick.

    But if he's free and worth a punt...

    Haven't seen him, but I like that we appear to be scouting right backs.

    Celtic won't accept any bids for any influential first team player unless its a Premier league club or from spain or Germany and over 8 million the championship isn't flush with money that people think any player we have sold their is because they were surplus to requirements.... Celtic are a class above the English championship... Only teams that are flush with cash in that league are the ones just dropped out the epl the season before and they are * trying to make cuts because they have lost 30 million in income

    Same, just glad we're actually being linked with someone who's not a Midfielder.

    You’re talking about the 90’s mate. Both of those players are a few million now.

    All of them were under a million. The price of a player doesn't honestly matter.

    So we will just go sign a bunch of 500k players and be fine?

    You’ve missed the point.

    Well we possibly could, we could go out and buy 5 £5millon players and they all flop.

    I didn't miss the point. Look at RB Salzburg, last season they made it to the el semis, this season have ran away with the group.
    Yet they haven't spent more money than us I believe, or are around the same, signing players under a million and not much over it apart from the odd one or two that cost about 4/5 million, similar to us. The amount we spend on a player is not really relevant, it's about getting the right player in.

    Does Salzburg not have better access to a certain level of player?. I.E South American markets and the likes?.

    Honestly, I'm not sure. They've got a few players from different continents but mainly full of Europeans I think.

    I know it's easier for us to get players work permits than down England but dunno how difficult it is for us to get players from outside of Europe still.

    You did miss the point. This guy mentioned Larsson and Moravcik. They’d be a few million now, you can’t just mention two of our best ever players to justify signing a Welsh RB on a free.

    Yeh, that’s all well and good when you get the right player. Salzburg I’m sure have their duds too. They’re obviously balls deep in the German leagues market, that’s a little harder for us to get into. I’m sure they are paying big wages too.

    Does my * in when people compare us to foreign teams.
