Someone needs to find the secret location that we use for players to sign and pose with watches and then monitor it 24/7.

Ask him if Verdu will still sign for us

 

signed for Betis Seville today, strange that after announcing he was definitely signing for Olympiakos, playing the market methinks.

Got a 4 year contract out of them, explains why he didn't sign for us, 4 years at 30, nah Nicola would just laugh at that.

I wonder if Wanyama's agent has answered any of his calls yet?

Yea saw that, Crook was still suggesting that he would sign for us when it was apparent everywhere else that we were never interested.

Yet you're still following him

Key part of the BBC Scotland report is that his reps are in talks rather than the talks have ended. Im sure the BBC Scotland Senior Football Reporter has a good line into Celtic and would have a fairly accurate idea of where it is.

 

Clearly there is other interest so we need to make an offer that makes him want to come here now rather than sit and wait it out.

@bigadamsport: Deal for Wanyama not scuppered yet, but if his agent thinks he can fleece Cortese for exorbitant fee, he may as well call a taxi #saintsfc

Posted (edited)

The watch being offered NOW..could swing the deal..

 

Time to get the watch onto the shiny table Uncle Nic.

 

 

That is if you and Uncle Mo really want him at the mighty Saints:rolleyes:

Barry you might be right, but if you let yourself get fleeced once by an agent, every other agent will fleece you so it's much better to lose out signing the player and keeping your hard ball reputation in tact. I think that most of us have some faith in the dealings of the chairman.

Trouble is if you don't allow the agent to 'fleece' you they will advise their client to go elsewhere, somewhere where the agent gets more money. Playing hardball was ok when we were in the lower leagues and the player knew what a good opportunity they might miss, the problem now is that their are bigger and better clubs which we are trying to compete with so they won't be missing out on their 'big chance' by not coming to us.

The agent does not control the ability of the player though, is he worth £12 Million after having a good season in the SPL? Who else has gone in for him, who have we beaten to hia signature? That would be a fair indication of the standard and where he is at.

and what happens next time the agent has a player wanting to be moved on and there's a choice of 2 clubs, the agent advises on the one which gives him a nice brucey

The biggest indication of us cushioning players is Ramirez, how much is he on? He has admitted he only came to Southampton for the money, his agent got a basic salary as opposed to a performance related pay deal..........................................

Most of the celtic fans think he is, they think he's be a top player for a top club. Are they right, no idea. Personally I've only seen him in a few champions league games.

They can afford £12 Million comfortably and simply write it off if he is ****, can we?

how can Celtic fans possibly know what a good player looks like, there aren't any in jockland, if there were they'd be playing elsewhere. It is impossible to judge a good player in your side when the opposition is of the standard of Inverness and St Johnstone. If we played Eastleigh every week our 3rd team reserves would look good. When we were in League 1 all of our players looked like the Bee's Bollix but as we've risen through the divisions they've fallen rapidly by the wayside. We also gave a couple of top sides a run for their money in the Cup, remember Man U, just losing because Dickson was an utter c..t, and yet those players in the main haven't made the step up apart from a few exceptional talents who've always got another gear in the box. We are going to regret this deal if it goes through, mark my words.

@AlexCrook.Just hearing Sir Alex Fergusson to retire at the end of the season....

 

This is silly.....;)

 

Mr Crook has just heard Sir Alex will give it one more year with David Moyes has his number 2:)

Crab lungs , Thanks for the PM . Made intersting reading> I hope the club sign the other forward you mention in your PM

That would be fantastic if we get him to

 

You'll get an infraction for this! Mods do not find "PM" jokes funny one bit

@AlexCrook.Just heard Mourinho is favourite to replace Sir Alex @Manutd

For all we know Wanyama might want to come but his agent is trying to get his fee and saying the deal is off. Obviously this is part of the game but these agents don't do their players any favours when we get threads saying what a greedy fecker he is where in reality he might be quite happy with what's on offer
