Why are we so set on chasing Engels?

If Celtic wish to hold out for £25m then there must come a point where Gus Hamer at £5m to £10m becomes a lot more appealing, and Sydie Peck at £10m surely.



Also just heard we are in talks with Burnley for Broja and using Scarles as a make weight!!! This has to be an April fool joke coming late???

I hope not, Broja has never scored goals at any level. Awful player, another clogger to add to the rest of them, we already have.

Mac, you are very good at spending other people's money.

I would wager you are the guy who won't spend the extra £1 of his own money in Sainsbury's to get the Fox's Bisquits, and sticks the regular ones in the trolley, but is happy to overpay millions for Sydie Peck.

Broke nooooooo.
We have been down this road many a time. Many here really wanted him, but as Robbo said, he failed at every level, can't even get in the Burnley side. Scarles hasn't been too good of late, but he has shown real ability before, so he should be capable.

I have to say selling Potts for 10m then buying Peck for 10m doesn't make much sense, Mac. We have to believe there is a bigger strategy being played out behind the scenes. The power tussle won't be helping matters, but it only helps Stavelys consortium if we stayed down, all the other shareholders will want promotion.

We have 4 weeks yet and bought Fernandes at the last minute last year and he integrated fine. Keep the faith, matey.

As I said, I'm mainly concerned about the team on the pitch. The fact this is obviously dictating transfer policy at the moment is the reason I brought it up. The concern from myself is, if we are not signing anyone because of this, then we won't sign anyone, as the window will be closed by the time it's sorted.
