The fact that they have had him sat next to Lennon in a Celtic top five days ago but are now trying to lower the price and putting out info about medical problems that only they have discovered isn't even surprising. I said there should be a premium just for dealing with this mob the other week and now i'm starting to think we should blacklist them.
They are a fundamentally dishonest football club.
If they are trying to reduce the fee we need to tell them to GTF. This will be a real test for the board.
I said at the beginning of the thread that dealing with Celtic wouldn't be straight forward. This has been ridiculous.
Just seen a photo of him at Glasgow airport with the Celtic doctor this morning.
He'll probably get announced and paraded in Austria. Motherwell obviously just waiting for Celtic to tell them what to do.
Obviously!
But whoever is playing up front for us will have to do a lot of work before they get any chances if we stick with the 4-2-3-1. It's like Kris Boyd, you can be a great finisher at one level and a complete diddy at the next one.
He was completely hopeless for the first half of the season. He looked out his depth against Sligo.
He obviously came onto a game but we have had a few players over the years who do that when they are in the final six months of a deal.
Tell them to bolt and we'll find someone else to finish bottom six.
We have had already had a situation where Nicky Law was getting paid more than most of his team mates and it worked ok.
Once he pulls on the green and grey he's just another Celtic player. It's a sore one the now but he only played 30 games so it will be quickly forgotten.
The bigger is the club demonstrating that they have bigger ambitions for the playing side than simply funding the non playing side.
