    Tbh I don't want either going. Think they still have something to offer us.

    Fair play on the above but would be surprised if we received a decent offer for either if we didn’t sell. Particularly when we have thrown away The CL bonus pot again.

    I would be surprised if we were laying out the amount we have been on transfers given the impact of the pandemic without some one going the other way to plug some of the gap. Accounts that come out at the end of next month will be interesting to see how much the pandemic hurt the finances at the end of last year.

    Barkas, Ajeti, Turnbulll and Duffy have been brought in for roughly £15m. Rogic on the way out for £4m then we have net spend of £11m which I presume Celtic will of budgeted for regardless of CL qualification. Also, a lot of these payments will be in instalments.

    Obviously the pandemic will have some sort of impact on the clubs finances but if we take into account the Adidas deal, all season tickets sold and the cash reserve we had in prior year accounts at circa £30m then we are still in a relatively healthy financial position.

    Added to that we could have potentially a few million in if Dembele is sold.

    Well I would not sell I necessary cause if we keep our squad and bring in some depth.

    With the 10 in a row merchandise we can make some good money aswell

    Judging by Ajers attitude and work rate yesterday I'd say this initial rumour was bullshit to begin with.

    Yeah that’s true, but if we have a net spend of £11m in the transfer window, unless Dembele moves on and we get the sell on. It would be the first net spend for a three seasons, and one of the few over the last decade with the exception of Rodgers first two seasons. It is the season where we are going for 10, which could be driving the spending.

    Despite the Adidas deal and season ticket sales which are both great, we will still come out short on revenue compared to previous seasons without player sales. The CL was a great opportunity to get rid of the gap and boost the pot.

    The wage bill will have come down a bit over the last season but it will still be considerable. You would also then as things stand be taking Édouard, Ntcham, Ajer and Christie in to the last year off their deals so their value would diminish considerably.

    Be happy to let ajer go if 1) Duffy is in 2) a good prospect is brought in 3) his valuation which I'd hope is north of 20mill is met. But I'd like all those IFS be concluded before Ross county. Transferbhoy point regarding edoaurd/ntcham makes sense. Just shows all the plates he is spinning, possibly trying to squeeze ntcham in to keep ntcham around which will keep eddy happy. I don't care if Lennon is ironing eddy's shirts once we get the 10 over the line

    Has it? He got rid of his last agent because he was trying to tout him down South earlier in the year.

    Honestly wouldn’t miss either. Ntcham is a good player but not world class. Never really liked Ajer; slow as a snail and thinks he’s better than he is.

    Could get 10 mill plus for each and surely adequately replace for less.

    Couldn't give a * about either. Anybody wants to leave, get as much as we can for them and let them. * anyone that thinks they're too good for us.

    As @TransferBhoy said we have spent to day circa £13m

    we have sold kouassi for £1.5m and rogic potentially for £4.5m so that’s £6m in and if Dembele was to move you could get £6m and you have trimmed but enhanced the squad for £1m nett

    We did also pick up about 1m for the sale of Eboue Koussi to add in there.

    Has to be one of the biggest clowns to ever grace this forum..

    Ajer can be slow on the turn due to his size and frame but he's one of the quickest player's in our side..

    I'm sure he came out top actually out of the whole squad but may have been before we signed Frimpong..

    Slow as a snail. LOL..

    Ajer slow? He's about as slow as Sammy was.
