Ed reports coming fae Italy saying we bid around 8 million for that LB.
Do you think we will go back for him or try and sign her main Jeff instead?

{Ed007's Note - It'll depend on the players' plans & wishes.}

Aye a suppose ed.
Would think German Jeff would be ahead in pecking order if he's here settled and playing well.
Who is higher rated out both of them do you know?

{Ed007's Note - I'd say Castagne is the better player, Kev and he was Rodgers' first choice in January. We did try and sign Toljan permanently and if you remember as the window was ticking down I thought that it was the player stalling on it and maybe didn't want to commit to anything - is the 6 month loan maybe to see how the player likes playing/living in Scotland?
If Rodgers has to choose in the summer and Toljan fancies a permanent move I think he will take him over Castagne for the reasons you mention, he's settled etc.}

Right back (Castagne) £8.7m was the reported bid.

Well fair play to the club for having a real go if that's the case. If we could get him or Toljan in it would be great.

{Ed007's Note - Didn't people we only got loans in because Rodgers is leaving in the summer because the board aren't backing him? 😉

I think there's a few folk on here, particularly during windows, need to start mixing it with tobacco Ed.

{Ed007's Note - 😂😂😂

Either way it's encouraging that they are willing to spend big money on the defence.

Your right Kev it is encouraging, we never seem to spend big on defenders for some reason. ( maybe when we bought Raphael scheidt) that put us off. 😂 but I’m glad if we are now looking to invest in the back line.

I ain't that bothered by spending big. Spending wisely is more important in my opinion.
But the fact we are willing to spend means they can see we need extra quality in there.

The price we pay is irrevelant . With EPL clubs prepared to give £20-£50m for average players we have to keep looking for talented young players who are prepared to come to Scotland for more realistic money . I cannot see much difference in a £5 - £7m player and a player around £2 m, as the English clubs have wrecked the market.
