Celtic apparently set to revive their interest in £3 million pound rated Brugge defender Brandon Mechele.

Read it in paper so probably shite. You heard anything ed?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - If we have revived our interest in Mechele then it looks like VVD is definitely away when Euro qualification is sorted out.}

Not sure why we are looking at him ( I am sure we are ) but he will not be able to play in Europe this year?

Ed is it not a given VVD is away either way?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - RD and PL are hoping qualifying for the CL will persuade him to stay for another year or at least until January.}

I know PL would sell his granny for £15mill. Issue is this. VVD is a target for mid table teams so they are not going to lay out £20 mill for him. That is top 4 prem league money and Man U, arsenal etc ain't going to buy him. Everton will have £25 mill plus for Stone so they may be willing to throw £15 mill at him. That apart the likes of Southampton, Leicester, Swansea etc I can't see them spending £20mill on VVD. So for me he is a transfer target at around £12 mill plus sell on fee, no more.

If no team is willing to pay more than 12m then we don't sell simple

Agree0 Disagree1

Brian if no one will pay more than £12 mill this year they will only pay £6mill next year then he is a free agent. We can't say we want more spent on players then just write off £12 million for VVD

Agree1 Disagree2

Totally agree, just feels a slap In face when they offer pennies of what he's worth, if he goes for 12 mill I have faith in scouting team they can produce another gem

Looks like VVD is away either way, got to dig the heels in over the price, but at the end of the day he wants to go, and the board aren't going to gamble with 10/12mil worth of talent when they know he's not needed to win the league!
Take top dollar after Malmö win or lose, or take half in January?
Would love the big man to stay, best I've seen for a long long time at parkhead, but he's no fussed with this mince league!!
If Mcinnes, Jackie 'droopy chops' McNamara and Hartley aren't happy with my last comment.? Just keep greetin but it's true lol

Agree1 Disagree2

Has VVD only got 1 year left on his contract? If so he's away for sure!

Agree1 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - He's got another 2 years on his deal.}

Celtic have apparently renewed their interest in Club Brugge central defender Brandon Mechele , would appear that VVD will go shortly .

noticed jason denayer was on bench for man city last night, wonder if he would come back on loan if we reach cl group stage?

Agree0 Disagree3

I sincerely hope we reinvest the extra several million into another area of the team then. That £6-7m striker perhaps.

Agree6 Disagree0

Ed wouldn't this lad be cup tied if he plays for club brugge? If he is a don't see the point in signing him.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Mechele would still be eligible to play in Europe for us as he will only have played in the qualifying rounds for Club Brugge.}
