    Not sure that’s a criticism that can be levelled at the board, when we paid £9m for Edouard?

    French media saluted his performance, with respected outlet L’Equipe naming him their man of the match despite having only come on with 70 minutes on the clock.

    Rodgers forced them to sign him

    His stock is rising very fast, some goals and good performances in Europe and he’ll have his choice of teams. Can’t see us keeping him past next summer unfortunately.

    Only thing Rodgers forced was his way out of his contract early.

    To be fair to the original point - when we have spent 'big' recently, it has been rare the players haven't been good. Its definitely more trial & error the cheaper you go and we have a lot of examples of that.

    I have no doubt in my mind he has more in his locker than Moussa. Or that he’s the most talented striker we’ve had since the King. Moussa is just a bit further down the road in his development at this point.

    At the risk of sounding like @ILoveTheCeltic he is developing into a VanNistelrooy type, completely different body shapes and styles but he was one of the best recent examples at combining the number 9 and number 10 roles.

    Hold up play, link up, close control, vision, weight of pass, composure, finishing. He continues to score at all levels you can lick your finger and stick it in the air for his value. Especially considering he was born the same year Scotland were last at a major Tournament :52:

    Will be a bittersweet moment when him and big crazy eyes are forming the French front line.

    Only after years of not paying good money for a striker, that’s where the criticism comes in.

    And I don’t think it would be a stretch for them to go back to that way after Edouard leaves, especially if there’s no pressure put on them by the fans.

    I think celtic would spend at least £5m on a replacement and up to £9m. Next summer will be easier transfer wise as the defence looks more stable as a whole even with KT gone. I think next summer will be Bauer, a goalkeeper, a defensive midfielder and a striker as permanent.

    Not sure about that mate, they showed during the Ronny years that they won’t pay more than the absolute minimum to continue winning the league and have no real desire to do anything outwith that.

    Qualify for the CL, beg him to stay one more season and give him a new deal with higher wages. Only way he's not leaving next summer.
