There we hit a stumbling block, will Mark Allen get all the money to spend???? Or King keep his (sorry NOAL) hands in his pockets and say that’s the bills paid for 18 months.

Names, and they better be better now, potentially in the future and have better sell on value. They're not in abundance pal. Morelos could be the man.

I'd argue it is, in the long run, although would be very painful. Obviously not as black and white as that, we should be securing both with or without Morelos anyway. short term its a blow - there is no doubt about it. But what if that £11m gets us the league next year? thats all hypothetical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's key to the way we play going forward, his link up play is second to none. Remember the last sheep game, he goes off for Cummings and the game turns on it's head completely because we lost his ability to pressure their back line, which resulted in them peppering our goal for the last ten minutes. He's a pivotal player for us and if we end up with a successful end to this season he'll be one of the main ingredients to that success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're putting in bids of £11m that's massive money to us. There's no guarantee that level of interest will continue in to the summer and beyond. Griffiths scored 40 league goals a few years back did he not? No £20m bids for him were forthcoming. In fact, I don't think celtic have ever made £20m on a player despite years of selling their best talent and Champions League exposure. Then call their bluff 15mill or fuck off, King has the bills covered for 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but even £6m to pay down debts and get us more stable, and £5m on a replacement striker, sounds like progress to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more money we have to spend in the summer the better calibre of manager we can attract, it's our highest ever fee for a player, we have to take it.

Jb85 1,783 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 He’s my favourite player and would be sad to see him go but £11m upfront could get us 3-4 decent signings in the summer and would make all the difference in challenging. Not saying we’ll get to spend all that £11m but with season ticket money as well it’s bloody hard to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all hypothetical, but strategically - I'd prefer the league next year than another season like this one. £11m goes a long way towards helping with that.

duffy2391 574 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Don’t want him to go but that is a silly amount to be turning down. The boy’s a prospect wanting to impress and he’s almost as good as me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneva_ger 9,331 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The chinese are destroying everything in their path out here with their corrupt money policies, my business included. They are the arabs x10 and will stop at nothing to get what they want. When Morelos doesn't cut the mustard they will fire him out like a used tampon (they do this in every public place also) but he would be a rich man. Up to him. Stay with the famous wee man.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Accept the money and we have struck gold in terms of bringing in a top manager in order to challenge they cunts. £11m up front plus season ticket money. The board's track record with managers has me concerned though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
