Let's do the fun "buying" bit first and then worry about the boring "selling" bit after.This guy to add to Bale et al would just be incredible.
We do need to shift a few mind......

IF that's all true then it's really poor form. What's to stop him doing that to us?
Agree, obviously we can only speculate as fans and have no idea as to if it's true or not, but shit attitudes like that are a big red flag for me.IF that's all true then it's really poor form. What's to stop him doing that to us?
Interesting comments. It’s clear not playing your star then downplaying it with vague comments such as these is textbook “unsettled player” situation, though I doubt this is due to our interest.
I’m sure its a bit of fan exaggeration. You know how it gets when a player could potentially leave.
For what it’s worth, most massively rate him and think he’s up with there with Larsson as the best Celtic striker of all time.
It’s no different than any player who’s ever tried to force a move. Bergwijn forced his way out of PSV and Lo Celso didn’t train with Betis after returning from Copa America last summer, but no one questions their commitment here at Spurs. Bale and Modric stood firm in their desire to move to Madrid and became two of their most decorated players ever.Maybe, but saying to his boss the day before the match he is not feeling up to it sounds a bit dodgy.
I'd be questioning his professionalism at the very least. The last thing we need is more half assed moody players.
Especially at 30-40m

I wish it weren’t so commonplace but players forcing their clubs’ hand on a transfer is basically standard operating procedure.
He’ll move. To who? I do not know. Would love it to be us but we’ll have to pay alot of money as Celtic will likely want 25-30m for themselves so the fee will likely be 40-50m and we dont have the loan + option route to get around the sell on.
Not sure when they did the deal for this lad but I bet they're covering their arses from now on.Why would we not be able to repeat what we did when signing GLC from Betis? Or are PSG contractually entitled to their cut regardless of whether Celtic receives a loan fee or a transfer fee?
I think the point being made is that we currently have Gedson and Bale on loanWhy would we not be able to repeat what we did when signing GLC from Betis? Or are PSG contractually entitled to their cut regardless of whether Celtic receives a loan fee or a transfer fee?

Great infoPopped over to some Celtic forums because I have no life.
A lot of them thought there was a good chance he’d be off after their UCL elimination and his agent gave some lukewarm quotes about how UCL wasn’t everything for Edouard and he likes Celtic but you never know what will happen.
They laughed at the stories about Arsenal offering 20m ish and think they won’t sell for less than 35-40m.
Then in their Wednesday fixture this week, he was apparently quite poor, bad body language, and missed a penalty that was pretty lazy (a la Eriksen against Bayern last season). So Celtic fans were not thrilled about that.
Today he was on the bench and didn’t come on. Apparently he told Lennon at the last minute he didn’t feel fully fit to play, which seems to have led to the questioning of Lennon about the situation that is included above.
Celtic fans seems slightly concerned that his bad body language and average recent performances are an indication that his head might be turned. They were none too convinced by Lennon’s post game denials.
It does appear that PSG has a significant sell on clause, though based on the way Celtic fans were talking about it, it doesn’t appear to be publicly known? They were speculating that it is around 40% and there was debate whether it was 40% total or 40% of the profit. Also, Edouard’s contract is up in 2022 and there had been previous speculation going back awhile that he wanted a raise up to 50 or 60k/week and Celtic were considering doing it so they don’t lose leverage next summer with his contract having only one year left.
So overall, maybe there’s something in him leaving but they also might just be overreacting a bit to some poor performances. Hard to imagine them coming down too far off that 40m tag if PSG is in line for 40% of it.
I think the point being made is that we currently have Gedson and Bale on loan
