The Queen supports Crystal Palace. Perhaps she'll buy the club then legitimately all the money in England shall be ours. Plus all the swans. |

Irrespective of the league they play in, there are always a couple of really good players in the Scottish league. Moussa Dembele went for £20m last year to Lyon and scored 15 goals for them and he and Morelos have very similar stats in Scotland with the exception of the disciplinary record. If anything, the fact Morelos has missed loads of minutes in games after getting sent off into the first half make his goal tally even more impressive. When players like Ayoze are going for £30m, £20m for him is a gamble that could pay off massively if he can be kept under control. He also has the temperament to knock someone out 15 minutes into a game and be banned for half a season. Depends on if you're the kind of person that sticks or twists on 16.

It was until 5-6 years, but with recent financial successes of Celtic, which sold Wanyama for 14 million, Fraser Forster for 12 million, van Dijk for 16 million and Moussa Dembele for 22 million, they were able to bring in talent like PSG's center forward O. Edouard for 10 million, Marvin Shved of Ukraine, Olivier Ntcham, Charly Musonda from Chelsea, Scott Sinclair, Simunovic etc. This meant that all the players who were playing for Celtic and were not good enough anymore went to sides like Aberdeen and Motherwell etc (Ryan Christie, Kriss Commons, Efe Ambrose etc). This meant that players from Aberdeen or Motherwell were sent to even poorer, relegation threatened squads and so on. There's also been a reduction of the teams in the Scottish league, so the talent is more concentrated. Celtic absolutely trumped Rosenborg of Norway in the Europe League (check the statistics box): And at home: They even met twice (once in UCL qualifiers and once in the Europa League): And they even managed to beat RB Leipzig of Germany, their 3rd place in the Bundesliga: [Link]

Lots of people on here question VVD’s ability whilst at Celtic and doubted his ability for the Premier League when we were interested in him. Southampton took a punt and the rest is history!

I could be wrong, but I don't believe this story at all. Makes no sense so I'm guessing it's an agent stirring for a move anywhere or journalists are twiddling thumbs for new transfer rumours

They would want a massive wedge as he is essential to their side - and we wouldn't take the risk. Think more bargain basement - the Huddersfield guy or Babacar or some loaner.
