Do you watch Angers often then? I struggle to imagine how anyone on here could know how a cheap signing at a crap French team was performing on a weekly basis.
According to Soccerbase he never played at all v's Monaco last season and against PSG he was a sub in one match and was subbed in the other.
Ryan Christie or Scott Allan would do, can’t see Celtic expected more than £400k for either of them.
Ryan Jack isn’t going to get a look in at rangers this season... Jonny Hayes isn’t going to get a look in at Celtic - can’t imagine either club would expect more than £500k for either of them.
There is always a deal to be done. Installments, forfeit part of the Hayes money if it wasn't paid up in full. If Christie is available I'd like to think McInnes has already spoken to him and gauged his interest.
Maybe he'd rather go down south for more money I don't know.
I'd certainly think McInnes will be interested in Hayes, Christie, Allan and Morgan and especially the first two.
It might explain our lack of activity if two of our signings are planned to be Hayes and Christie. Celtic could well be waiting for their four world cup players to return from holiday and for them to get a signing or two through the door themselves.
Whilst not being averse to the return of Christie, any available dough should be directed towards glaring gaps in our squad - right back/centre back, left back, right wing and striker. Christie would duplicate Forrester by the sounds of it, when McGinn or Wright (better in a more central area than as a winger, IMHO) could already fill in the abscene of Forrester, if needed.
In this fictional happy clapper v pant p1sher argument, I tend to tick the former box, but even I'm scratching my head at DMs current (apparent lack of) transfer strategy. The Danny Rodgers situation is clean off the top shelf, as is the apparent inability to have sourced a right back/centre half, when he's had ages to sort it out. Then he goes against all previous policy and takes in a trialist, and a sh1te one at that.
Pants are dry, though

Big, big question mark over Hayes after that injury and with all the shite before it and the way Lawell played hardball over GMS then I'd say no thanks but now it's getting to the point where I'd take him back. That's not because I think it would be great but because we desperately need players in and having someone we know is safer than what I'm excpecting we get.
Hayes would be a great player for us to pick up due to his versatility. In the 4-2-3-1 he has played every position for us other than goalie and centre half.
