Michel-Ange Balikwisha

At BRs request no doubt

 

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!

 

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.

Gazet van Antwerpen state that the forward is the "main focus" for the Scottish champions at this stage with their positive clear to Antwerp

 

Yep will be our next signing .

 

Can't disagree he would be good value for the quoted money, but the question should be...is he an automatic first team pick and a significant upgrade on what we have?
In the words of Bertie Auld 'aye, but can he play?'

Not for me, not even close to what's required.
Yes, an upgrade on Yang (not hard) but not Maeda or Kuhn.
I think we should be aiming higher, much higher.

 

I don't like this one..

The fact he's just there and we keep skirting around other first picks and then back to him.... it's giving me bad vibes..

 

Hope we pass on him.

 

Not keen on him really. Think there's better out there for the same price. And it's apparently obvious he is the fallback option. I know that worked incredibly well with O'Riley but his numbers were insane, can't say the same for him.
