    I said months ago he was our top signing priority and nothings changed imo, he has been the difference for us on many occasions last season.

    We have 5 strikers. When other positions are far weaker I do not see how the club can justify another

    We also have Mikey, Shved and Christie who have and can play up top/with a striker.....as well as Mo ifbe comes back..

    We're fine up top and create and score bundles..

    @Kiwibhoy27 probably has best solution with sell on fee. I do like Ntcham but replacing a midfielder is much easier than signing a quality keeper. Also if we want Elynoussi on another loan then plenty of scope for a deal.. assuming Ntcham wants to go. Becoming a Celtic legend by winning the TEN is not something foreign players may fully appreciate.

    Might just be paper talk and speculation but if true it really helps us getting Foster deal done

    The papers also had Southampton in crisis and having to punt all their players if they didnt get a new owner

    I just think if its remotely true we ask for Forster as part of the deal and add in a sell on maybe get a small fee for him too? We have plenty of CMs it's one position we're pretty stacked at

    It would be nice to retain Ely but there's only one player I'm worried about and that's the big man, if we keep him we shouldn't even have to worry about signing new players as we've got the youth already mentioned. I hope Saints don't * about cause they know how much we need him, we've been good to them in the past and I know there's no room for sentiment, there's always room for a bit of quid pro quo. I would be very confident about next season if he was here.

    If their interest in Ntcham is genuine then that's certainly a makeweight that we could use, Forster is far more integral to our success than Ntcham is IMO.

    Forster effectively won us the League Cup and the 2 wins v Lazio would potentially have been draws/losses without his crucial saves. I like Bain but if we had Forster between the sticks for the UCL qualifier v Cluj, I don't think we would have been beaten.

    Forster + £8m for Ntcham would be a good deal.

    Aye the interest in Oli is definitely a good sign, can't see the board paying the huge fee he would command on his own so the player plus cash would be perfect. It's also good that Fraser wants to be here so I'm sure his agent will be trying his best to make his client happy. Can't do an agent any harm being connected with us too.

    All the interest in oli from Southampton and the things that can mean for any deal on FF are all good and that. But will oli actually want to go to Southampton though? Reckon he could easily play for a better team in France or Italy. Even playing for Porto who wanted him before is better. He might not be keen on going to them, which ruins any deal we all want

    He'll go. He isnt daft. 1 good season down England can see you move for £50m+ and suddenly earn 300ka week.

    1 bad season can see you punted around england for a measly 70k a week :56:

    Ofcourse he could stay on our bench...

    I’m not saying he’s staying mate, I’m saying why would he want to go to Southampton if other better teams want him? I’m making this point in reference to him being part of a deal for big frase. He might not wanna go to Southampton

    Guaranteed more game time at Southampton which may allow him to shine and get a bigger move and or international call ups. Both Fraser and Van * went there, earnt money and got their first caps.

    I could see Ntcham maybe favouring a move to France

    I think if Dembele moves we would use that money to bring the big man home
