Marc Crosas from Barcelona

Exactly.

 

It wont be official until he arrives in Glasgow, it will probably be tomorrow or friday. I doubt he'll be registered in time for the Mirren match but we shouldnt need him for that.

 

Exactly what? lol

It says "Celtic seal Crosas deal" which they have. In terms of sealing a deal with Barca, we've done that, now it's just a case of the player putting pen to paper.

Please don't start doubting this move.. Other than McCourt it's the most enthusiasm I've heard from a player we're trying to sign this season.

 

Hopefully hes as good as a Celt now!

 

IMO the hard part of this deal is done, getting Barca to agree. Everyhing Marc has said suggest he wants to come to Celtic, so I think its just a matter of getting everything sorted when we gets here, probably tommorow.

IMO he is as good as signed.

 

Yes I think he has said all the right things so far and i am delighted to hear hes coming and that hes looking forward to getting in and getting started as you cannot have too many wiling individuals

 

Yep, in a situation like this, we are just waiting for the player to arrive in Glasgow to do the formalities, sign the contract proper, change his registration, and pose for the media in the hoops. The club is now focussed on the Man City match, tomorrow is when you'll see the club show off to the media.

 

In your last post you said; "The deal isn't completed" - and that were what I say "exactly" about.

I don't doubt the deal we be completed within the next three days, but I'm not the type who takes anything for granted when we talks about football, so I won't call the deal sealed before Crosas stands with Hoops on Celtic Park.

 

Said on Scotland Today that the deal is almost wrapped up

 

The Catalan playmaker rose through the ranks at Camp Nou after joining the club at 13, but recognised that breaking into the first team was going to almost impossible this season.

Pep Guardiola told Crosas that he could stay and try and earn a place but that his chances would be very limited after he returned from a six-month loan spell with Olympique Lyonnais.

Now the 20-year-old is aiming to prove that his career will not suffer because he has left the Blaugrana and is relishing testing himself with the Bhoys.

"Football does not begin and end with Barça," he told Sport. "I have finished that chapter in my life now because I have known from the start that they would not count on me.

"In the world of football you have to be intelligent and see how many players they have signed and what a great squad they now have.

"I only regret not being able to show if I had the quality to succeed here or not.

"You always think about making it into the first team, but not everyone can do that and it is clear that things do not begin and end here.

"My aim now is to become the player I know I can be and then people will know if I could have succeeded at Barça."

Crosas had numerous offers but revealed that the work that Celtic put in to try and make him go to Parkhead is what swung his decision to join them.

"The great interest from Celtic persuaded me," he added.

 

sounds like he will sign as they must have spoke about wages in general and he will just be here to sign........ dont think there will be anything left to discuss. well done pistol pete and wgs .

 

marco, i don't think i could have put it better!

 

anyone have any idea who else were lookin at apart from crazy lungs? just thinkin, do we still have Doumbe?? think dats hiz name.... not that he's any use, jus with him naylor, perry winkle, and wilson, thats a lot of full backery.

 

Looks all but done now with barcelona agreeing a deal.

 

I think the only thing holding the deal up at the moment is a medical at Lennoxtown, and that's about it. I can't see a player talking about his new team if wages/contract hadn't been agreed.

Furthermore, Barca's clauses about the player returning are clauses that will be in his contract, so contract details and terms have been discussed, it seems.

 

Can anyone translate this????

Marc Crosas pasará al Celtic

El mediocampista del Barcelona tiene todo acordado para sumarse al club escocés para la próxima temporada, por lo que no disputará el amistoso ante New York Red Bull.El joven Marc Crosas, de 20 años, no contó con muchas posibilidades de jugar en el Barcelona y se marchará al Celtic para tener más oportunidades. De esta manera, no será parte del amistoso que tenía previsto disputar ante New York Red Bull en Estados Unidos.

El traspaso se fijó en un millón de euros, más otros 900 mil que variarán según la actuación del equipo británico en la Liga de Campeones, los títulos obtenidos y la cantidad de partidos que afronte el mediocampista.

Además, el club catalán se reservó el 25 por ciento de una futura venta más la posibilidad de recomprar al futbolista en dos millones de euros tras la temporada 2009/2010.

Crosas abandonará la gira del Barcelona y viajará a Glasgow para firmar su contrato en los próximos días.

 

Basicly says Crosas has left the US and is on his way to Glasgow to sign, he has already agreed the contract, he just has to sign.

(Thats what my ok spanish got from it anyways lol)

 

Sounds promising, crossing my everything for tomorrow then lol

 

yeeeeeoooooooooooooo!!! get in!

 

that could get interesting and very sore
