O’Riley and Atalanta’s ceiling

250

With four years left on Matt O’Riley’s contract, Celtic can afford to reject any offer which falls below their valuation.  Atalanta’s reported bid of around £14.5m was not expected to be accepted.  The Italian club know that Celtic can afford to wait until late in the window in the hope of attracting others to the table, before they need to seriously consider selling.  £14.5m was just an opener – we all know how the game works for players in demand.

Atalanta’s highest spend on a player is £25m (€29m).  That matches what Atletico Madrid were prepared to bid for Matt in January, which has established a value for the player.

There is every chance he will move this summer, but Celtic’s aspirations and Atalanta’s ceiling means he might not see a lot of Bergamo in the season ahead.  In the meantime, let’s hope we get to keep the player for another year at least.

    The Celtic TV commentary sounds like it’s broadcasting from a Portacabin from KerryDale Street…

    Good win against City ressies.

     

     

    I liked both Kwon and Lagerbielke in the 2nd. Nice bit of dig.

     

     

    Also, it’s apparent to me why Sinisalo was third choice at Villa after ex-Adelaide keeper Joe Gauci.

     

    Vil is not showing – so far – that he’s an upgrade on Bain or Siegrist.

     

     

    Bring in Tanner Tessman too pls.

  4. Great Game, this team has the hunger

     

     

    Awesome display from all…

     

     

    Kuhn man of the match…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  5. Great for our Notth American supporters to see the bhoys win.

     

     

    Ok, its only a friendly but in bars and clubs fans will say ” I was there when we beat Peps Man City ”

     

     

    HH, the journey continues.

  6. Celtic v Man City….

     

     

    I didnt see the game as I was fast asleep in bed. I have just turned on my Computer this morning and saw that it ended Celtic – 4 v Man City – 3.

     

     

    GREAT Score line from The BHOYS and I will enjoy watching any Links to the game on here in a few minutes time.

     

     

    However….I only had ONE BET on yesterday as I left the Horses alone for a day.

     

     

    What a nice wee surprise I got a few minutes ago as my ONLY BET from yesterday was in fact….Celtic – 4 v Man City – 3 at odds of 50/1 ( Correct Score with BET365).

     

     

    Ya Dancer !

     

     

    LOL…Magic !

     

     

    HH.

  7. JACK GREALISH….Your boys took one hell of a beating thru the night !

     

    LOL.

     

     

    I have never liked that GREALISH CHUMP since I first saw him playing for Aston Villa.

     

     

    Over Rated, Over Priced and Over Paid.

    Im getting really concerned guys. We are in danger of winning the pre season cup and we all know what happens to the winner of that trophy when the season kicks off for real 😂.

  11. ” Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning”…As AL JOLSON used to Sing.

     

     

    Celtic – 4 v Man City – 3.

  12. vinniethedog on

    Just watched the highlights…we usually get humped pre season…anyway…Matt O Riley…be a sore one to lose ….

     

    Lots of Man City shirts …not many celtic…though celtic cheers seemed to quite loud when we scored …but the EPL Zhas taken over undoubtedly

  13. ” Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning” was also sung by JUDY GARLAND, DEAN MARTIN and BING CROSBY…..as well as AL JOLSON in 1947.

     

    AL JOLSONs version was the best, and AL was also my DA’s Favourite singer…EVER !

     

     

    ” If I had Aladdins lamp for only a day, I’d make a wish and here’s what I’d say….MON Celtic buy ADAM IDAH” !

     

     

    LOL

     

    HH.

  14. Good morning, AN TEARMANN.

    BTW

     

     

    Please don’t bite!
