Fulham bid 10 million euros for finboggason before they signed mitroglu we would never have been able to compete for his signature yet it was all people kept going on about. Hopefully now we can all accept he will never be a celtic player

You're probably right but he'll go for less in the summer as he will only have a year left on his contract. It's almost a replica of the Hooper scenario from last year.

It's sad the way football has gone OB1, it is now run by TV money. Teams like Fulham, Southampton, Hull etc able to outbid a club as huge as Celtic is tragic.When we identify any decent player that can improve us there is always a club from a cash laden league who will outbid us. I honestly think the way we are run is perfect for the environment we are in. Our dealings in the transfer market recently have been impressive, not all of them I know but Wanyama, Forster, Ki, Ledley, Van Dijk to name a few have put us in a very strong position. John Park is doing some job just hope he doesn't get poached by some inferior TV money laden club .

I get what your saying 0B1. But not entirely true!
€10mil is roughly £6mil.
Herenveen Need the money and Finnbohassons contract will mean less by the summer.
From what we are being spoon fed by the board and NL, that type of deal is doable but in the real world, yeah he won't be at Celtic as we are being sold down the river!

We had our chance last summer and done usual cut corners and signed pukki £2.6m. Add griffith £1.5m and balde £1.4m comes to £5.5m. I reckon we could of doubled our money in a couple of seasons if we got finnbogasson last summer

We were more than able to compete for his signature in the summer but after a second season where he has continued to bang in the goals it was inevitable his value would rise as other clubs became interested.

We missed the boat with Finbogasson at a time when he could have been bought for a reasonable price but because our board won't budge from it's rigid signing policy he is now way beyond our reach.

Tried to post a couple of days ago on here about poitr parzyszek who just signed for charlton I think? Polish player, 6ft 2 20 year old . 16 goals in 20 games and only 20 years old! Bet the guy is worth a bomb I years to come! Big powerfull lad with great hold up / link up and an eye for goal!

Pukki was £2.2 and griffiths £800k balde £1.7 m so that's £4.7m

11.) 31 Jan 2014
After NL says "strikers are at a premium" do hope we invest accordingly. Pukki is more like stokes and will come good. Griffiths is a good back up for summer signing.

Lol sorry lads a was thinking $ for some reason my mistake :0
Wow bit of a jump, but not surprising given the way he's playing.
Makes it worse then that we missed out on him before if it were ever a possibility?
Same stands though,,
Won't be worth as much come the summer and he won't be at Celtic

We missed out the year before when we could have had him for 1 mil before herenveen signed him
