Kasper Dolberg

My phone left out 'through player trading'..

 

We're not even that good at it. We just don't spend.

Whoever sanctioned the Kuhn deal for £16.5m when the likes of Oh is going for £24m in today's market needs to be sacked. Kuhn had another 4 years to run on his contract!

 

That doesn't matter if a player doesn't want to be here they will be sold.the power is with the players these days

 

Kuhn downed tools. Oh was extremely happy in Genk..

It's no surprise one applied his self correctly at all times and gone for far more money..

 

Well said Marco..

 

No they won't.

Plenty of clubs have refused to sell players this summer. Will Wissa and Strand Larsen be off today after demanding to be sold?

Your take is completely wrong, clubs can hold onto a player until they deem a fee that's reasonable.

The £16.5m for Kuhn is utterly derisory in today's market and we should not have entertained selling him until we got a more adequate fee and until we had a replacement in. That is how proper clubs function.

 

You don't know that Kuhn downed tools. The same nonsense is being said about Daizen now - some times players form drops, some players are confidence players and have streaky patches. Did Kuhn down tools in his first 6 months at the club too?

 

24 has already been debunked though. 18mil€ plus boni, max 20mil€. Which is still a lot of dough.

 

Aye I do. The eye test told us he did..

Backing out of challenges and pulling away from scoring goals on the line..

Never happened with Oh and he's unsurprisingly gone on to better things..

 

Starting to become a bit concerned by this tbh, and because we’re so * I wouldn’t be surprised if all our eggs have been chucked into this basket, meaning if they * this one or he chooses not to sign we’re well and truly up * creek, somehow in an even worse situation than this time last week.

Time will tell, and no doubt it’ll go right up to the wire but it already would’ve been a difficult deal to pull off which we’ve made even tougher by leaving it so late in the day.

 

Whatever the fee is we should not be selling Kuhn for a similar fee to what Oh is going for.

We are operating in a 2020 market where we expect that £6-7m is going to get you a Jota type player, that's not the market anymore and that's why we need to start valuing our players a lot higher. We are running away from Scandanavian clubs valuing wingers with 30 senior appearances to their name at 7-8m. If we are so scared of that why are selling a player on year nominee under a long term contract for £16.5m?

 

World class at making a * of it too

 

Let's no derail the thread any further J..

 

Celtic have made a £10million deadline day move for sought-after Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal.

The Hoops had been hopeful of signing former England and Leicester City hitman Jamie Vardy on a free transfer.

But the 38-year-old forward is understood to be in Italy with the view to signing a one-year deal with Italian Serie A club Cremonese.

Dutch club Feyenoord also made moves with the Hoops to try and sign Vardy, who have now moved to Dolberg as their top target before the window shuts today at 7PM.

Dolberg was dropped to the substitute’s bench for Anderlecht’s derby day defeat to Union SG at the weekend amidst growing interest from the Scottish Premiership champions.

And our sources understand an £8million fee plus £2million in add-ons has been muted to try and entice the experienced Denmark international to Celtic Park.

Capped 55 times by his country, Dolberg has been in excellent form for Anderlech since his arrival two seasons ago.

He has bagged an impressive 44 goals in just 95 games, with five goals from eight games already this season.

Last term he netted 18 goals in 31 league games, having scored 15 from 39 in the Belgian Pro League the previous


Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is believed to be a big admirer of the player and has gone on record as saying he’d like to strengthen his strikeforce before the window closes, especially after a dull goalless Old Firm derby draw with Rangers at the weekend.

Dolberg previously played for Dutch giants Ajax, scoring 33 goals in 78 appearances for the club before a move to French outfit Nice, where he scored 23 in 74 games in all competitions.

The 27-year-old forward’s goalscoring ability is without question and Celtic hope to get a deal done to get him over to Scotland on deadline to have a medical and conclude a deal.

Hoops striker Adam Idah has agreed a £7million switch to Championship side Swansea City, but our sources believe Celtic will only let the deal complete if they can get Dolberg in the building.
