Not remotely surprised by reports from Germany that Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are interested in Kristoffer Ajer. Kris was our standout player last season and comparable to Virgil van Dijk, when he was a 23-year-old at Celtic.
The money Leverkusen paid for Jeremie Frimpong was incredible for a player I wanted to replace this year; Kris is worth far more. Leipzig, however, are the more interesting club. They have one of the best scouting systems in Europe, if they are interested in Ajer it is an endorsement others will follow.
Note, it is not even a possibility he will stay at Celtic.

great read.
humbling, inspiring, funny, in equal measures.

doing stiles,
stiffening haynes,
so many moments,

May God guide Bertie on the last stages of his journey with the same precision as he sprayed his passes all over the park when he played with such distinction and pride for us.
Ajer is exactly right for the German game. He would fit perfectly into the current Dortmund side as a replacement/partner for Hummels – don’t know too much about Leipzig, or, Leverkusen.
It will be almost impossible to replace him with similar quality within our budget.
Birmingham Bertie on the 10:30,

“It will be almost impossible to replace him with similar quality within our budget.”
I would certainly hope we try!
not a fab game
not going to comment on P67’s point about Ajer being comparable with VVD after the news about Bertie
but really…
Sad news re wee Bertie
Immaculate
On and off the pitch
Frenkie de Jong

I hope Ange sticks that quote up in our dressing room wall

Should I read your `but really` as:
a) Paul is talking nonsense;
or
b) Paul thinks ,at 23, Virgil and Kris were of a similar standard. My opinion is different.
Marcel Sabitzer
Good player. Buy him now
I see Sergio Ramos is available for free, why not ask him for a season, why not ?

im a big fan of Ajer
but you could tell from the very start of VVDs stint up here that he was something very special
so to try tell folk that big Ajer is currently showing the same vibes as VVD did here at the same age is just silly
but VVD was a 1 off
so its not a sleight on KA who im a big fan of
my point is – what is P67s point?
Take it as read sad news about Bertie obviously
Being of an age to have watched Bertie in his prime , I’m really saddened by the news . Too many of those legendary lions slipping away from us .
TET
I agree we should try someone like him, to shake things up perhaps and take quality from somewhere other than our usual haunts….
How’s the move going?
TET
Ramos is the figurehead the team now desperately needs
2 year contract at £3m per year is equivalent of a £4m transfer and £1m per annum for a dud
Makes sense to at least ask him
The Exiled Tim.
Sergio Ramos
it would be a statement Tet.:-)
Is he trying to improve his golf handicap? 😊
wait and see what happens
hope all goin as well as poss mate
your all in my prayers
hh
Ramos
Dangle the carrot of becoming a legend at Celtic
Playing in front of 60,000 true fanatical fans
Player/defensive coach role
Even if injured he’d inspire the team from the stands
I’m giving him an increase to £4m per annum with a 2 year contract and an option for a third year
Worth every penny.
We’d get our money back on merchandise sales anyway

It’s along way from moving in this climate, sprucing the place up tho, you never know.

………………………
We have to ask, we asked BR and he is the reason we have a few bob in the bank, sometimes speculating to accumulate works, the great moustachioed one should know that, SR would IMO be worth every penny, but we all know it ain’t gonna happen, but I am allowed to dream.

CCB
You should be very proud
Has Ramos ever played at Paradise?
I’m advocating we get back to calling Celtic Park/Parkhead its proper name…..Paradise
Glendalys
we hold them dear mate.but we are passing on the history,ours,😊.
It is bad news i hope he gets all support, but the thing reading back on all comments,you cannae help but smile when you think of him.oh a player tae.😊
Bertie

Unionism, in the 6 counties, is a wounded animal tonight.
Let’s hope it doesn’t lash out and harm the innocent
Dangerous times for us
What about either of the Dutch left backs ?
Ramos will want more than £4m but I’ll take it off your hands 31003
He sent off Jimmy Johnstone,Bobby Lennox too
He ordered off Big Yogi Bear as well
But then he sent off our Bertie and told he was dirty
Bertie told him to go to hell.

Q.Who left Partick Thistle to join Celtic in Bertie’s first spell as Thistle gaffer?
A.
Just a question remembering Bertie.
Olde Poots is gone. God bless the Union. JHB
Ramos hmmm good player but not for me largely due to him being a pr*ck and a cheat.
Very sad to read Bertie is ill.
A true Celtic Legend, a true Celtic Man.
Prayers said for Bertie and his family.
YNWA
Edwin puts both feet in it…………..
Lovely.
Given will be gone in short order as well………………
Hun thickos eating thumsels.
GO TELL THE SPARTIM
Yep
He could get more money…but he’s a millionaire anyway. But another 2/3 years as a living legend and playing in front of 60,000 true, passionate fans?
What’s not to like?

It reads like you’re egging him on to come back. Subject has been changed…..

Olde Poots is gone
Just noticed, good fun watching Nord huns eating each other😂👏👏👏👏👏
Bankiebhoy
My worry is, who comes next?
Edwin was more ‘loyal’ than Arlene.
Where do the dinosaurs go from here?
This will not end well
Just heard about wee Bertie. Player. Legend. Gentleman.
My heart is breaking a wee bit.
