Graham Potter said this today - about no transfer in particular - at this pre match press conference
"You feel for the supporters a little bit because they’re reading things and they’re thinking it’s going to happen when it isn’t, or somebody is linked with a player and they never have been...
"Long-time target Darwin Nunez remains of interest but Benfica are keen to keep hold of the Uruguayan while they remain in the Champions League (their play-off with PSV Eindhoven to decide who qualifies for the group stage concludes on August 24 — a week before the window closes)."...
Well fancy that ...No “serious offers” for Edouard received by Celtic says Guardian writer/Ed Aarons

One for resident NSC dullard who i cribbed this from

But if your point is that its not a true reflection of the first team squad costs then maybe - i don't know. But i think its a good steer for the size of player contracts...
Well wage demands might well be the reason but thats not whats been reported by Owen / Naylor.
It could be they have moved onto other targets, he's not the type of striker Graham has asked for or other things but their reporting hasn't been that explicit apart from knocking back talk of bids...
There's no new reporting in that piece - its a few quotes from his Express column. Actually in the scottish papers - despite all that initial flurry of reporting of bids imminent or finally being submitted in a few weeks ago - all denied by sources close to the club - the last update from the...
Just keeping this up to date as the rest of the press outside The Argus/Athletic start to lose faith..
Daily Record: July 18th: "Registered an interest"
Daily Mail: McGowan: July 25th "will make £20m bid after qualifier"
Daily Record: Castles - July 27th "submitted a bid"
Daily Mail: McGowan...
The Daily Record are reporting that - which is a bit odd given that they were reporting only days ago that Brighton had “finally” bid for him. And only a few weeks before that, that we were in talks and were about to bid for him.
Now they describe our interest (“no interest” according to...
That’s just a pundits rather provocative guess at his likely worth . There’s no indication Celtic are prepared to accept such a fee.
And still 3 weeks or so after breathless reporting from both the Mail and Record - saying we’ve bid for him, or about to bid for him , or we’ve “finally” bid for...
Ha! they might well do. But i doubt it will be from Albion.
Anyway how do we know based on their reporting ? Its all over the place - a mere 5 days after saying Albion have "finally submitted a bid", the Mail now say er they probably haven't...

PS the Scottish Sun story is not their reporting, it’s quoting a french publication (and it’s not their story either) , it’s quoting this journalist

(It’s not clear if that’s new info - several have claimed there are talks...
Football Insider hours after claiming he’s going are now running a story saying he’s staying!

Some other football insider stories this summer
Arsenal “in advanced talks” to sign Maty Ryan on a permanent transfer, Brighton have “joined race” to sign Matt Grimes, Derby/Rooney are “interested” in signing Shane Duffy, and that Potters position at club is “far from secure” and that they may...
I’m still waiting for his move to Leicester or Palace or Inter Milan or Arsenal given that the Record have reported that all were likely / fees agreed/ “solid approach” / deal “pushed for” etc this summer.
