Ed, have you heard anything about Celtic trying to sign Bojan?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed007's Note - I haven't mate but we seem to be linked with him every time he's available. I'd imagine his wages would be a major stumbling block and considering he's contracted to Stoke until 2020 there will be a significant transfer fee involved too.}

Cheers Ed. I thought he would be a bit out our price range. I was just wondering because a few rumours have been floating about. I think it would be great signing if we managed to pull it off.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's too inconsistent for me and his ego causes problems everywhere he goes.}

Was griffiths not a bit of a problem as well before he came to Celtic? Not dissing you ED just saying players can change in a different environment.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - How's that dissing me? Leigh Griffiths has nothing to do with it. Has Bojan been shown to be racist or got physical with kids in an amusement park?}

I am a big AC Milan fan and can say first hand that Bojan's attitude is not what is required in the Celtic dressing room. The guys got bags of talent and, when he is on his game, is a world beater however as ED said he is far too inconsistent.

I've not been a massive fan of Roberts based on many of the times I've seen him this season, mainly because I fee he flatters to deceive. However if he could continue to perform like he did against Rangers when he came on, I would rather see us pursue making his deal permanent than fire money in to Bojan who seems like a mercenry to me.

I saw an article that mention Fabian Delph, which I think will be on big money so not realistic, but that's the kind of player I'd like to see at Celtic Park. Guys that made the wrong choice in going to a bigger team and not getting their chance with something to prove because at the end of the day, they have the ability in abundance. Similar to Sinclair and in the past big Sutton. They have that bit between their teeth and Rodgers is the man to help them recapture their best form.

{Ed001's Note - Delph is not just extremely inconsistent (and not very good anyway) but also one of the worst mercenaries of the lot. Just check out his words a day or two before moving to Man City, about how he would not be going there and wanted to stay at Villa. Then City offered him more money so he went. If you are ruling out mercenaries, then he is one of the worst. Not sure how you can rule out Bojan for the same reasons but still want Delph.}

Neither of them will be pulling on the hoops, i think that's something we can all agree on

Yeah definitely won't be seeing either of them in the hoops.

I never actually said I want Delph, I was mentioned him as I read an article on him being linked to Celtic. I was meaning we should look at guys that have something to prove along the lines of Sutton who was a disaster at Chelsea and wanted to prove the doubters wrong.

There's a lot of great talent out there but for me, with the way the team are playing and with rogic and KT to come back in, is there any real need to take players in that won't strengthen the team? I feel we need more players for back up more so than starters but that's only my opinion.

The only player I've actually seen us linked with that I have been really excited about is Mutch, think he is a great player and can add to the team and Rodgers' philosophy of work hard for the team.

With Celtic enquiring about Bojan in the summer and now he is looking first team football, will we be back in?

Personally think he will be a brilliant player in Rodgers formation

Really? I'd be over the moon if we got him in. The excitement grows!

Agree1 Disagree1

Love to get him in the hoops, could be a bit of a lubo type player for us

Agree0 Disagree0

He's on £40k a week at Stoke. Not sure if we would pay that would we? As far as I'm aware only Henrik and possibly Roy Keane were ever paid that much here.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jan 2017 15:11:54
keane said in his book he was only on 15k a week at celtic.

Agree0 Disagree0

If we are going to be a bigger club we need to pay the market rate for bigger players

No?

Agree0 Disagree1

Is that right Jamesbhoy? That's quite surprising.

I'm sure we could go to 40, between commons cifti boyata and Bailey there must be about 50 combined. Chop the dead wood and bring in a star or 2

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jan 2017 14:51:17
We could afford it, but the player would need to be something special. I mean really special. Not a gamble, a stick on success like pulling out all the stops to keep Henrik on that kind of money. Not willing to fling 40k wages around for the likes of Bojan, just my opinion tho.
