Celtic agree fee of 1.2 m for tony watt to standard liege! Big suprised tbh

1.) 28 Jul 2014
Ed do u think he has just not show. Enough to RD? And do u think we are having a clear out? There are so many players I would sell befor what!

{Ed007's Note - I'm surprised by the move, Watt is a better player than both Stokes and Griffiths but if RD has seen enough and is happy to let him go then so be it but I'm even more surprised Watt has chose to return to Lierse after what happened there. I just hope the decision wasn't influenced by others bending RD's ear.}

Is it not standard liege he's off too? I hope we have a buy back sell on clause.

{Ed007's Note - So it is, my mistake mate lol, last night I was told it was Lierse who were ready to bid and I'm just up and online today.}

Why are we selling him? He needs to be given a chance a proper chance. He is a great talent better than most of the options we already have. Not happy with this what so ever.

We should sell pukki. he's been a complete flop. even against reykjavik he played bad. if he would always score 2 goals that would be fine then but he'll have big problems when the better teams come. all schalke fans I know wanted him to leave at the time we bought him. i'm happy with the squad, I just want a top class striker we can rely on!

Maybe the decision was taken out of RD's hands due to past indiscretions and lack of discipline - whatever the case, it is a big disappointment as he was a class act.
It just adds to the frustration of our whole transfer strategy when we should be adding quality and building a better squad - not losing our brightest talent.
Maybe if he goes we could go for Johnny Russell as a like for like replacement?

Get shot of him! Telling Danny McGrain that he could teach him nothing is a huge lack of respect for a Celtic great, had his chance . Bye bye tony . U blew it son

7.) 28 Jul 2014
I think he has major promise but maybe he's not giving RD what he's looking for? I would loan him In the spl for a year and see what he does before making any decisions like this what about a poll ed if us the fans want him to stay or go.

{Ed007's Note - I've set the poll up here.

It would appear that tony watt does indeed have an attitude problem.from what we hear, he was quite rude to Danny mcgrain and Neil lennon, and took his attitude to Belgium which we have all read about.now it would appear Ronny Deila has seen enough to sanction his move away from the club.i said in a post a few weeks ago that he had been given an opportunity to resurrect his career at celtic, but as the previous poster said you have blown it, good riddance.killy.

I don't think its a good idea to get rid of anyone untill new faces arrive. I personally don't know the facts of Tony Watts discipline issues at celtic, but one thing I do know is the set up they have in belgium at the moment is up there with the best in europe. The experience would of only of enhanced his game. Just got a gut feeling sanctioning transfer will come back to haunt us.

Ed, do you know if celtic have any links with belgium clubs? Personally I think if we did it would be a fantastic opportunity to develop youth farming them out on loan

{Ed007's Note - We did have a partnership with Oostende but I'm not sure if that's still active.}

Why we selling our best striker for peanuts? because apparently he's got the devils attitude! Boy gets bad press for nowt. Lived the dream scoring THAT goal, then Lennon didn't use for him weeks and when he did he was thrown on the wing! He took the huff to this and so what? The boys an out and out striker. Every time he's on the ball he looks quick, strong and direct something we lack very much! Far too many sideway passers#boring#easyoption. Can't believe we're sitting back and let such a talent walk away. And just throwing this in there young boy chambers who just signed for arsenal made like 24 senior appearances went for £16m. We're going to sell our biggest assets for under £10m each. Time to start acting like the huge club we are!

I'm not being funny but every teenager early 20's think they know it all! But to sell is a big mistake loaning him for another year or two yes but it's such a waste of potential! We all don't know exactly what's went on behind the scenes and yes we have too many similar strikers but I just don't see selling as a good option!
Thanks for the poll ed.

Hopefully this will be the start of getting rid of the dead wood, good riddance from me

Iam gutted we have let Watt go, would rather Stokes was sold to be honest, the wee man was scoring goals in a better league than ours last season, think it a disgrace to sell him but no surprised the bhoy was never going to get a chance I keep hearing about an attitude problem & off field problems might be true but Griffiths & especially Stokes have done far worse than this lad, this why I lost bit a respect for Lenny to be honest he only played Stokes more when Hooper left if Hoops stayed Stokes would never have got a look in, I hate to say it but we turning into a selling club & we getting weaker every year now.

I really hope Tony Watt goes to Standard Liege and sets the Champions League on fire! he cannot be any worse than stokes and griffiths for attitude and these little neds will be found out soon enough!

{Ed007's Note - I'm with you on this one, Edward, I hope Watt really gives it a go and goes on to have a great career. We've let some class players slip through our fingers by not paying the price (McCarthy, Fletcher) but I fear we have let a real talent slip through who was on our books. If Pedro is as shrewd a businessman as he likes to think I wonder if he has put a sell-on clause in the deal.}
