    I can't believe how bad Spurs were. No Romero, Sanchez, Dier off injured, Tanganga sent off. Credit to Edouard for taking his goals well, credit to Vieira for spotting that Spurs were wide open and bringing him on when he did.

    The Barisic corner and Helander header were top drawer but I agree re the overall quality. If you are a top player you can't stick around too long in the SPL. Edouard, Kent, Morelos all look to have got worse than a couple of seasons ago.

    Anonymous in second half apart from getting a yellow, subbed on 68 mins when his side are 1-0 -down. I rated the guy, I think he had the ability to do well in the Prem but he's let his standards drop. He should have moved last summer.

    If Celtic have decided they want to sell Edouard then they will have a price in mind. They need cash to buy players because they have fallen behind Rangers, and the sooner they get that cash the sooner they can strengthen their side. They've already been eliminated from the Champions League...

    Celtic defending shambolic for the Hearts opener. Edouard wins a free kick, then a dexent header from a corner. Cochrane has started well.

    Is this some sort of payback by Celtic for: a) foisting Duffy on them last season b) providing Rangers with Goldson and Balogun?

    Logic dictates that if we do into next season with the exact same strikers we will get the exact same result, i.e. a lack of cutting edge and a bottom 6 finish.

    Maybe they got offered a raw dill?

    Last season was a horrible one for Celtic and yet Edouard still scored a lot of goals. If Brendan Rogers fancied buying him - and Leicester are pushing for a Champions League place - then that is a useful indicator he may have what it takes. I also think the French language thing may help him...

    Well that couldn't have gone any better: 1. Celtic out of Europe so need the cash. 2. His performance was lacklustre so Celtic will be less inclined to take the piss with the fee 3. Supporters want him gone. This reminds me of Duffy's last week at Blackburn - a couple of own goals and a red...

    Prem clubs have spent c £450 mill this window; they spent £1.41 billion in summer 2019 before Covid. We are 7 weeks in, 5 to go. Yes, money will be spent but I'd be surprised if it hits £1 billion.

    You think after 16 months of Covid and no fans we haven't made a massive cash loss? The y/e 30 Jun 20 accounts show a decrease in revenue of £25 mill - that is pretty much all received as cash with minimal scope for accounting tricks. Wages increased from the year before. And that is a year...

    I think it's supply and demand. There aren't too many strikers around that have scored goals their whole careers, have won trophies, scored n Europe etc and are still only 23. I think good strikers hold their value. Another factor about Bissouma is that clubs haven't got the cash at the...

    As others have said, there is too much detail in the Daily Record story for it to be paper talk. They can't go this big on the major star for one of the Old Firm and get it wrong. This marks a watershed moment for our 'local' journalists - it would appear they have got this one spectacularly...

    [Albion] Odsonne Édouard

    Let's be clear about this - the club has lost big money over the last 2 seasons. This is not an "accountancy loss" - it is an actual cash loss. This makes the sale of a marquee player like Ben White inevitable. People who are equating £50 mill incoming as being a potential transfer budget are...

    I think we kissed goodbye to that money to part-fund our losses last season. The bottom line is - post-Covid - if we sign a striker it will be with additional money, provided Tony is prepared to stump up. The club doesn't have any money, it's all Tony's. He owes us nothing and, boy, am I...

    Gonzalez signed for Fiorentina 23 June. Since then we've signed Mwepu (06 July) and Scherpen (17 July). The combined fee for that pair was similar to the fee reported as bid for Gonzalez. Basically, we've spent the Gonzalez money already.

    The Daily Record have run a story about the Albion registering an interest in the player but there's been nothing more concrete - just speculation.

    We were toothless today. Maupay, Connolly, Andone all played. We can't go on like this.

    I'm pleased to read that Palace might be interested in Kabak. I thought he was very poor for Liverpool last season, certainly inferior to Nat Phillips.
