    To put a £40m bid for Dembele in context; it's 77% of Celtic's total income for 2015/16. Equivalent of Man Utd receiving a £396m bid

    Our best cb imo.

    Think he's first choice and it'll be between Erik and Boyata to fight out for the other slot for the rest of the season.

    Not sure yet for me, i'd say the best on the ball and calmest also plays with confidence but defensively I think Sviatchenko and Boyata are better defenders. Not really bothered who out the 3 play though.

    His distribution wasn't as good at some points last night but defensively I think he is excellent. Strong in the tackle and has improved in the air from when he first arrived.

    Personally I think he's been better than Sviatchenko for a short while now..

    I know Sviatchenko is excellent, has been carrying niggles and left out, but even before that at the * pit and a few other game's, he's looked slightly sluggish..

    Said it the other day, but Simunovic is probably my favourite of the 3 at this minute..

    Comfortable with all 3. All 3 are slightly different, and all compliment each other well..

    Last two games his distribution has been poorer but he is always trying to pass it forward or riskier passes s some are always going to go a miss. Against Aberdeen he actually played more like Bitton used to, seemed to be in the centre circle a lot on the ball messing about looking for movement to pass it to.

    Remember some Croatians on here around the time we signed him and they couldn't believe how much we were allegedly paying for Jozo, and they seemed quite happy to get rid of him.

    I dont think we paid anywhere near the £5.5m quoted when you look at the accounts for the period closer to £3m I would say

    Glen Driscoll says he's had a problem with his shoulder.

    It was €5m if I remember right. Was the Euros figure that was always quoted because it was them talking about it.

    Think the exchange rate worked out as it was about £3.7m. I can remember looking at it at the time.

    Really happy he stayed. Our defence is packed with quality players on form.

    Since Gamboa had a blinder vs Hearts Lustig turned into Messi!

    It was great to have the big man back yesterday. He's not at the level of Van Dijk but he similarly cruises through some matches like Virgil used to.

    Always looks so assured.
