Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Boom! We miss out on bringing in a new goalscoring Maddison but bring in a new goalscoring Armstrong instead? Any new Keegans, Channons or Le Tissiers out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 My Celtic friends say he has lots of energy with a decent shot on him. Sounds like what we need. This in my mind though, means Tadic is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Have watched him play for Scotland against decent opposition (including England) and he looked very good to me ! For £7mil I would bite their hand off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Last season he sounded a decent replacement for an aging Steven Davis but this season, having had a bit part season in the Scottish league and as a replacement for Tadic, I think we have the right to be a little guarded. Let's see, he seems to fit the Hughes mould at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 He had a great season at Celtic under Brendan Rogers in his first year, but after his very underwelming season last year we are once again not signing a teams standout player from a 'lesser league'. He has become a squad player at Celtic at absolute best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.JonB Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 I think Tadic leaving is a given. If that is a he case I can’t see how this can be seen as anything but negative? Imagine how many goals Tadic would score in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyNumber7 Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Very underwhelming. Agreed, I was hoping these rumours weren't true as I've seen him play several times for Celtic and not been too impressed. That he can't get in Celtic's team and they weren't prepared to offer him a new contract says it all. Still if he signs I would love to be proved wrong.

Bewildered Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Hojbjerg, Lemina, Romeu, JWP, Davis. Do we really need another CM? Bar possibly the aging Davis all the players he would be competing with are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Is there any chance at all that this fellow is a replacement for Davis rather than Tadic? Looks like Davis understudy/replacement, as well as alternative to Wilshere. Not likely connected with Tadic. Last season performance E at Celtic has to be taken in context of contract dispute starting last summer. Brenda has sidelined him somewhat because he knew he was going.

derry Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Didn't he have a decent season the season before last and looked a good player but with two years left on his contract refused a new one. That soured his position at Celtic. Now with a year left Celtic have to shift him or he'll go for nothing at the end of next season, hence the realistic rather than inflated fee.

Ado Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 I’d rather we tried to get Rogic if we are going to get a Celtic attacking midfielder. (Yes I know he recently signed a new contract but doesn’t stop other clubs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Gone from signing Celtic’s best to squad players. It’s like Liverpool trying to sign Stephens instead of VVD. One aims high while the other aims low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
