WBA53 match thread

Make the Johnstone deal permanent now!

We can’t at this point for a number of reasons.

If I was Celtic hierarchy I wouldn’t even discuss a deal at the moment, they might well change manager at the end of the season for one thing.

If they do decide to sell him they might as well wait to see the level of interest from other clubs as there’s bound to be plenty.

If we were that confident in our scouting we should’ve had a clause to buy him inserted in the loan deal, that in itself is dangerous when you look at how poorly the Marshall deal has worked out so far.

We still don’t know which division we’re going to be in next season and who we’re going to lose due to FFP.

The churn in players could be massive this summer.

It’s wishful thinking in dreaming he’ll be signed up now, it won’t happen, he’s more likely to be playing against us next season…..alas.

Unfortunately everything you’ve said is true. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Nothing.
