I just came across a stat of Man citys spending in the last 6 months and made me think of the fans that constantly moan about the £9m and £11m we spent on Idah and Engels.
Marmoush €75m
Nico Gonzalez £60m
Khusanov €40m
Vitor Reis €40m
Reijnders €70m
Chekri €40m
Ait Nouri €50m
A total of €375m in less than 6 months that club has spent. Its absolutely bonkers but again it just shows that £9m and £11m is nothing in football these days.

For a club in Celtics position 9 10 11 million is big money . we should be buying better standard of player for that money so it helps us win league and get into group stages of Europe . it's all relative .20 25 million spend in spl most probably is like man city numbers to rest of spl.

When you watch the major tournaments you see players valued at those prices that can't pass a ball, can't run more than 10 yards without sweating like hell, take a shot outside the box without it reaching row Z and landing on the deck for a rub down when their ego's been bruised. And I'm not talking about Sevco players here.

Deep river bhoy2 I think, however I might be wrong but when Celtic spent £11m and £9m they were buying the best players they could buy for the positions they wished to fill at the money they spent .
In hindsight there maybe some information available to prove Celtic were right or wrong . We will have a clear picture when we sell either of them.

Nothing against Idah but was he the best they could could find? And of I remember correct Engels wasn't the first choice for centre mid Didn't a few other deals not come to fruition? . both have done well especially Engels being young bhoy big move new country . next season I think we will be able to judge better judge better if they're really successful moves . all I was meaning is we can't affordca lot of these price deals so be better than what we have big money clubs can afford multimillions on projects prospects but can we?

We did spend that money and it did help us win the league and qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league.

Everything is relative but how does £9m or even £11M now, compare to the transfers of £6M for players under MON 25 years ago? ?
