About time we had a hard nosed cunt handling our negotiations. Makes a change from the arse raping we have had on transfer fees, even pre 2012 we were a fucking riddy for it get these cunts to fuck. 20m or fuck off Pretty sure we were all saying 10m or fuck off before these Chinese nutters started chucking money about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we know he doesn't really want to go to China (which could be understandable if he dreams of playing in the EPL), then we could push them for stupid money before accepting a bid. I'll be completely honest and would be gutted if we lost him, even if it was for £10Million or more. I think he's a cracking prospect who plays a massive part in the rest of our Season. I can't see bids like these not being made in the Summer if he stays, so we should try our all to stop him leaving. Which right now the Club seem to be doing. The odds of this being any kind of successful for us with or without Morelos are exceptionally thin. Id grab the money and run. The board have shown their target by appointing Murty - us fighting for second place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t sell anyone, get shot of the not needed, bring in 3-4 good players in the summer. Is it more realistic if we sell our best player and buy 3-4 lesser players.

Lloyd 10,756 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 If we don’t sell him for 11million we’ll sell him in the summer or the one after that for less than that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an excellent prospect and I really really rate him but he's had a good 2 years, in Finland and Scotland... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,328 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I like Morelos and I think he has a lot of potential but he is not worth the gamble on getting better if this offer of £11m is genuine. Would that be the highest figure we have ever received for a player? Bonkers that some would turn their nose at it (especially at a time when we need some better quality in the team) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris182 6,289 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Not that I agree with this methodology, but If it’s the kind of money being rumoured on here then it’s worth more to the club than finishing 2nd and qualifying for Europa groups IMO. To the board it’s probably worth the gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure_Quality 3,295 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 £11m is a ridiculous amount of money for someone we bought for £1.5m a few months ago, but if he continues scoring at the same rate and gets in the fringes of the Columbia world cup squads, even in a training camp, his value goes up by another £2/3m automatically. At that time we could put him to France, Italy or the Championship for £12-15m. The other thing celtic have been great in doing recently is putting in a substantial sell on clause when they sell a player. If he goes to China he probably wouldn't be sold on for much more than we've sold him for, but if he goes to a better league and does well he could be sold on again for double or more of that value. That's the kind of things we need to be thinking about of we're going to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Right... Few scenarios here. He score even more goals and helps us win the SC and makes the Colombia squad for the WC, he makes a move to the EPL for more. We keep him he gets injured...value plummets we pick up the tab. We sell to a Chinese club and without a sell out he move to the EPL/Spain or Italy for £20 mill next year. We sell, get the £11 mill, get a sell on clause and make even more What I'm kinda getting at is there as so many variables to selling Morelos and so many arguments for keeping or selling. I love his attitude and regular goalscorers are are few and far between but at the same time that money could make us real contenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Getting money is all well and good but this fucking shit show of a board owe it to us to keep him at least until the end of the season to give us the best chance possible of some silverware, after the shite we have endured since they took over. Sell him in the summer and rebuild with decent quality with the money we make off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiconicman 2,991 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Bite their hand off. Seen too many Scottish teams hold on to players when bids come in and end up losing out. Cash in now and reinvest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
