He was referring to Lanus in their league
I just meant this myth that they can’t defend - I should have actually quoted the lad a few above.
They were better in all departments last year.

hear, hear!Let me spell things out for you as economics doesn’t seem to be your strong point.
We had roughly £50 million worth of players who left the club for nothing. We had dirty rotten bastards that pillaged the season ticket money to at least the tune of another £50 million, probably more. We had contracts that were handed out to make cnuts like Ashley get virtually every penny in merchandise go to him. The subsequent legal battles have also cost inumerable £millions. The beautiful stadium which was left to rot by the bastards has now cost £millions in repairs.
Compare that to European money given to them year after year, sometimes CL money, sometimes Europa. A league an cups haul that would never have been amassed if we were not totally screwed over. I'm not saying blameless, Murray got into a position where he was fucked and took the easy way out and imo knew what was coming. They got every domestic and European advantage handed to them on a plate probably to the tune of at least £150m to £200M.
For us to have won the league and got to the Europa league final was a fucking miracle. To then see cnuts whine about how they outspend us is just nauseating. Grow up. It's 10 years since our world came crashing down. I don't think any other club in the World would have recovered so quickly so forgive me if I am not going to cry about not matching their player sales when up to 2018ish we had virtually no one of any value to sell. Certainly not at the levels they had. That's 4 years btw. It takes time to develop players and sell them. Alfie COULD have gone for big money, but who would we have in his place? I think the board did the right thing not selling him at the time. Who else have we had bids for? Ryan Kent at about 1 third of his value? Tav at a laughable level? Even Barisic was at the time a stupidly low bid. This is probably due to clubs thinking we were desperate for money and would accept way below market value. So how do we sell players when bids don't match our values?
The fact that 'they sell players' is a direct product of the 8 years of no direct competition and the money they have brought in has funded their splurge. It's not that difficult to work out.
As for buying players the club has done magnificent work to get players of real value in. We have a squad worth the same, if not more, than the scum.
Please enlighten us, genius, how do we keep buying, and adding to our wage bill, without selling first?

he'll get an assist on his debut and be hailed as better than Tav by the Scottish mediaI see Celtic signed a left back from Lanus. Interesting to see that despite finishing 9th out of 26 teams, they were 25th out of 26 for goals conceded. Another Celtic defender who can't defend hopefully.
Them getting Jota on a permanent deal is very good business by them unfortunately
He is a very decent player and one who will no doubt go on to make them money when they sell him
30% sell on.Seen journalist saying it’s very similar to Edourd’s deal with PSG that Benfica have a really high sell on % and Celtic won’t make all that much from him.

I tell you what, if I was playing against that wee Argentinian guy I’d be pulling the Scott Brown out the bag and winding the wee diddy up after seeing him react and get sent off for his old team
Says he scored 27 goals last season in the picture and then if you actually read it he scored 13 goalsJota: Celtic sign winger from Benfica in permanent deal after loan spell
The Portuguese winger scored 13 goals last season; Celtic triggered the clause to make the move permanent from Benfica; Jota has agreed a five-year deal with the Scottish Premiership championswww.skysports.com
George Michael confirmed to have signed for the mhutants. £6.5m quoted in this article.
There’s actually not many quality ones out there this summer that would be good enough.I’m surprised we’ve not targeted more bosman signings. There’s genuine quality out there.
Just seen Dybala linked with Monza too
Adidas or Umbro and i’d be delighted, Umbro have gave us our greatest tops ever IMO.Thats a stonking liverpool top.
Understated and elegant.
I know we needed a company like castore to get to where we are but the sooner we get back to nike or adidas the better.
Ps sorry for going off piste
We probably have. We just dont know about themI’m surprised we’ve not targeted more bosman signings. There’s genuine quality out there.
We probably have contacted a few, but their wage request and signing on fees might have been beyond what we are willing to pay - I guess we'll never know about the unknowns.I’m surprised we’ve not targeted more bosman signings. There’s genuine quality out there.
Are they well off ? Never heard of them beforeJust seen Dybala linked with Monza too
Would be crazy
I think that remains to be seen rather than guaranteed. Wouldn't be the first player to have a great season then struggle the next.
One of my best mates is a Celtic fan and pretty much since the turn of the year he felt Jota wasn't offering enough. Had they been forced to choose between him and Carter-Vickers to sign, I reckon most of their support would have picked the latter.
He's a good player but I don't think it's a certainty he'll repeat or improve on last season.
Yep - Owned by Silvio Berlusconi (former president of Italy and owner of AC Milan) he took over a few years ago.Are they well off ? Never heard of them before
Showboating George Michael looking smelly sand dancing fairyDont think jota will make them that much. Hes not 18 19. Hes 23. He aint the quickest wingers but i can agree hes technical
Looking forward to watching them next seasonJust seen Dybala linked with Monza too
Would be crazy
Pish according to FF.Aaron Hickey to Brentford. £14.5m rising to £17m.

Surprised he’s going there though, seemed to be all but confirmed he was heading to Arsenal, perhaps game time related?
Karamoko Dembele joins Brest. Interested to see how he does over there.
Looking forward to seeing how that pans out hahaha he was one of their worst signings of the past 10 year.Bayo previously if Celtic to Watford for £5 million. Mad
Great move for the boy if that happensThe sun reporting Hickey to Brentford for £14.5 million rising to £17 million with addons
Very strange career.Bayo previously if Celtic to Watford for £5 million. Mad
Thats the mantra.Pish according to FF.

Look how good Pukki was after he leftBayo previously if Celtic to Watford for £5 million. Mad
That's the thing a lot of people fail to understand, especially the Champ Manager generation, a lot of factors come into play when it comes to how well a player does at a club.Very strange career.
Does well in Slovenia, signs for Celtic is one of their yearly £2-5m striker signings and is hardly ever seen.
Doesn’t tear up Ligue 2 either. Signs for Genk, gets loaned out and seems to score nearly a goal every other game for Charerloi.

Indeed DG.That's the thing a lot of people fail to understand, especially the Champ Manager generation, a lot of factors come into play when it comes to how well a player does at a club.
Is his family with him? is he settled off the pitch? does he get on with his team mates? does he fit the system his team plays? does he speak the language? the list goes on.
It's not as simple as looking at his stats in CM and deciding he's good or bad.
Pukki was shite for them aswell and done alright down there. Maybe when some players find out their secrets they down tools!Looking forward to seeing how that pans out hahaha he was one of their worst signings of the past 10 year.

I’m that bored I might do some research and see how much they’ve wasted on shite strikers in the past 10 years.Pukki was shite for them aswell and done alright down there. Maybe when some players find out their secrets they down tools!
Never even heard of scepovic!I’m that bored I might do some research and see how much they’ve wasted on shite strikers in the past 10 years.
Ajeti, Bayo, Scepovic, Balde, Pukki - off the top of my head, why is about £15m
Don’t forget Mohammed Bangura (the wrong one)I’m that bored I might do some research and see how much they’ve wasted on shite strikers in the past 10 years.
Ajeti, Bayo, Scepovic, Balde, Pukki - off the top of my head, why is about £15m
I once had him on an Everton FM save years back and he went on to become a legend at the club as I won every trophy available hahaha. Cnut is nowhere to be seen in real lifeNever even heard of scepovic!
I had hoped we could have made a move for him.Forest sign Man U keeper Dean Henderson on loan. Looks like a good signing to me.
Struggles massively with the language in Italy. Been wanting "home" for a while now.Aaron Hickey to Brentford. £14.5m rising to £17m.
