mio Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 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.

Window shuts in 4 hours and sitting in relegation spot. Not the most enticing position on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from MON's comments yesterday it sounds like there is movement on that too. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather spend that on paying towards a player we bought in wages and hopefully get it back when we sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago We were covering a fraction of Welsh's deal, probably about 10% at best. Any idea of us taking on his entire wage is pie in the sky stuff. If we're getting him back now it should be on reduced terms from before since they've gone and cup tied him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
