Some fans unrealistic if a player is being sold in excess of £10+m. You got to assume the salary be in region of £45-85k a week. That's an additional 2.5m every year! Celtic can't let themselves go down that road of failed English premiership players. Development and nurturing of young talented players. We all have to live within our means.

Celtic can afford to sign a big layer like Shaqiri, they keep telling us we can
He is exactly the type of player who can break down defences especially in Europe and that’s what we need
Obviously the fee is his relegation clause otherwise we would be miles away from what he could command.

Jeb we could never match his salary he's prob on about 100k a week.

It's always the wages guys. We will never be able to compete at the middle to top of any bidding war. Sad but true. Show some patience, i really think we might have the nucleus of a young but pretty experienced team.

Kev just because we can sign these so called big players does not make it the right thing to do we are where we are because we are not just throwing money at so called class players and think of the extra incentives these players will want to come to scottis h football for me it's just a bone starter of I'm honest I would love to have household names in our team but it's not going to happen and it sounds like your taking st pick from hun
people you know about how your team never spends to compete in Europe we have a structure that is taking us forward like never before we all want the best but we need to be realistic hh.

I like the way the dressing room is at the moment. You can see the togetherness amongst the squad at goals, training photos etc etc. I don't think bringing in a player who will want £100,000+ a week will be good for it no matter how good they are. If we can find a Ntcham or an Edouard every summer i will be more than happy.

Signing a player for that big a fee and on big wages might be possible financially but what impact would it have on the rest of the squad? The likes of Brown, Dembele, Tierney etc would want a similar wage. It would have a negative effect on squad dynamic. He’s a good player but hardly at Larsson’s level where the rest of the squad would have accepted that he deserved to be the highest earner.

There are plenty of players in the EPL who are earning £30,000 per week or less . The problem is that most of them would not be players we would want at Celtic Pk . It really is like the eye of the window between signing a player who can do a very good job for us, and a player who would spend season sitting on bench or worse still in the stands .
