    Free contract?

    All day long..

    Ex France International and at all age's. Played most of his career in Ligue 1 as an attacking midfielder. Lot of European football experience as well..

    We deffo need some experienced head's coming in (he's 30) amongst some young, fresh, pacey youngster's. 6'2 as well..



    Bit of an older video but it's frightening how good his ability is..

    Always liked him from his early Lyon days. He'd be s tidy and cultured player for sure.

    Out of contract and I mentioned him in the rebuild thread, never really believing he would be interested in us.

    But, if he is, bring him in! The level of experience and age we need in the squad for the new season for sure.

    What a player this boy was at Lyon...can’t say I’ve seen any of him since so the question is, has he still got it?

    He's good but I wouldn't take him as a lot of our problems is we are too soft, weak defensively, too one paced and poor in the air and he ticks all those boxes, would just be another Turnbull or Rogic and would not fit in with them and McGregor.

    Sevco would rub their hands at coming up against McGregor, Turnbull and Grenier, 3 players who can't defend and two who can't run.

    If we are signing a midfielder we need a big * who can head a ball, run and defend well even two of them as McGregor and Turnbull are quality attacking midfielders.

    Probably a decent player but not the profile of player I think we should be looking to sign.

    Just as long as he's not got that French petted lip injury that certain of our players seem to suffer from

    An experienced guy with no transfer fee who offers something different is exactly what we want.

    I'm all for an experienced guy on a free if there is good value in the deal. Kristoffer Ajer has more appearances than him, so it depends how you view experience.
    Grenier is reportedly on about £50k pw so either Rennes don't think he's worth renewing at that price or he thinks he can get more elsewhere.
    There was a story that West Brom fancied him in Jan and he was available for free then but they'd have to convince him to have a salary that would fit West Brom's budget.(obviously paper talk so not guaranteed truth)

    I just don't think Grenier is a fit for Celtic.

    Pass..when you look at his stats he’s hardly prolific. Heading towards the wrong age too. I’d rather see us fork out for Henrik’s boy

    At first i was like, 50k at Rennes a week... But he is indeed on 65,000euro a week. Never thought Rennes pays that well. With his statistics he will never get a contract like that! On 20,000 i would take the gamble, think he could mean something for us. And his scorers arent that bad for the minutes he plays. Besides he lost his place to Camavinga, the next superstar... No shame in that.
