    Still nothing new, he is probably quoting the same voetbalprimeur site. Nothing new between the clubs in days.

    Of course there’s nothing new


    Also every journalist quotes each other adding something different to a story

    We do this every year.

    Lawwell logic, why sign someone in June when you can sign him end of August and save 8 weeks wages.

    Lawwell doesn't get bonuses by just throwing away £100k

    Michel-Ange Balikwisha appears to be moving back up the Parkhead agenda with reports in Belgium suggesting that Royal Antwerp are ready to lower their asking price for the 24-year-old.

    Voetbal Primeur claim that talks have reached a deadlock over the £5.1m asking price - but they now state that a the deal could go as low as £4.6million with Antwerp in need of a financial boost.

    Gotta love Pistol Pete strong arming them down an extra £500K.

    Hope they put price back up and we drop out, not excited by this guy at all.
    Injury prone, doesn't take players on, lack of end product etc etc.

    As an aside, interesting insinuation that several internal factors at Celtic management have slowed things done - tell us something we don't know already!:BR1:

    Personally on this occasion I think things have slowed as he's probably not our no1 target. Honestly think it'd be done by now otherwise.

    We probably offering 3.5/4 million for him and they wanted 5.1 million

    I'm sure a deal will be struck for him, just the usual bit of haggling as expected.
    He's a long term target, and he wants to come here.

    This one is a goer.

    Which I think is a good thing imo. I'd be happy with this guy but I'd have been disappointed if we weren't at least trying with the likes of Moro, Orjasaeter etc.

    By all accounts this guy wants to come here, the price Antwerp are asking for is decent and he still looks a good player, just not as exciting as the above two.
