No, because 16 months at £10K is not £160K. He counted weeks as months 🙂

Well, whatever way, Celtic need to commit one way or the other in the next few hours.

😆😆😆 Maths was never my strong point!

Because his contract goes to 2027?

Erm, naw it wouldny.......closer to £650K

My reading of it is that Celtic just want him off the wage bill and that any fee to Celtic would be to pay up his contract. 16 months at £10k a week would be £160k. That would leave him free to sign a short term deal with us which is basically free money to Welsh. Would he sign that until 2027 with the understanding that we wont stand in his way if a bigger club comes in? Hard to say, but personal circumstances would come into it. Not sure if he has a young family or not?

Like any investment it would have risks, as would investing it in the wages of any other player. But the higher we finish the more Money we make plus a higher finish gives us a better shot at European football. With Welsh, we Know exactly what we are getting. With another player there’s probably added risk.

Its just this minute been upped to £23mil 🤣 Jesus H Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not so sure, that would be a £150k investment. I’d rather spend that on paying towards a player we bought in wages and hopefully get it back when we sell them.

Not sure of exact figures but I’ve seen it said that Welsh is on 10k a week at Celtic. Not sure what percentage of his wages we were paying or what a “normal” wage is for our players but if Celtic are being pain in the ass about a loan we could perhaps offer to cover his full wage. If we were paying 50% anyway (a complete guess) paying another 50% would just be an extra 75k. (5K x 15 weeks) which I think would be a good investment to keep him on our team for the remainder of this season.

Probably told the manager he couldn't sign any players to help the struggle. So he told them where to go.

TBF, he might be a more effective player in a better side.

Dreadful Timing by Blackburn. Window shuts in 4 hours and sitting in relegation spot. Not the most enticing position on offer.

I think there’s no chance Jens is leaving just now, especially how hes been really vocal on players leaving during the window. Ive no doubt we will lose him at some point, and im sure we’ll all wish him well but hes here until the end of the season….. hopefully at least.

Anderlecht has just sold a winger to Sunderland for 15 million so maybe some truth in they are looking at TJ however for 3 million(allegedly)when they just scooped up that figure.Having a giraffe! Blackburn have just sacked there manager it wouldn't be a shock if they looked north of the border at our guy don't know but I could see JBA at a Blackburn sort of team.

We can all relax - the bbc says we’re not selling him https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpv7e3pnjw2o

I was and still am hoping for 2 additions today: a LB and a CB.

9 hours and counting

I almost spat my coffee out this morning when I heard the Engels bid was legitimate. The guy is a really average player.

When we do get round to selling any of our players, we have taken notice of the crazy signing prices that now seems normal. £17 million for Engels, £6m plus for Bowie. £5m plus for foreign unheard wingers and so on. Todays modern football prices are bonkers. No wonder ticket prices keep increasing.

If Ceptic can get £18m for a numpty like Engels, I would be holding the door open for him, with his bags packed.

Assuming Celtic sign a CB I think that's very likely. And from MON's comments yesterday it sounds like there is movement on that too.

Yeah I think it’ll probably be one in but who knows. The way it’s going, I do think it’ll be Welsh just because of jens’s comments about bringing in a player who can fit immediately into our system.

McGhee can play mid and Watt will be back later this month, so would be surprised to see any midfielders. If we bring in just one, I imagine it will be a CB - but who knows?

He would be able to take our penalties . However he would need to get in the team first and that would be a big ask for a limited player like him.
