Selling a squad player for a figure of around £11m is good business in anyone’s book, doubly so for Newco. The anticipated money for Nathan Patterson, on top of the £4.5m for their management team from Aston Villa, will cover at least 9 months of their losses this season. They may even break even for the first season in their history.
There will be limited impact on team performance this season, 20-year-old Patterson has hardly featured, with penalty kick taker James Tavernier preferred at right back. Tavernier’s peak is already behind him, the pain of losing Patterson will be realised when Tavernier remains at right back well into his decline.
That pain is so distant right now it is irrelevant. Newco need to raise money to pay their bills to finish the season, Everton’s cash will help here. They need to sell – more than this – in order to avoid Uefa Financial Fair Play inhibitions. If they can raise enough cash to finish the season, they will be able to spend some of that money without affecting their immediate FFP status, so they could even be stronger for the remainder of the season than they would be if they retain Patterson.
Celtic have had a great transfer window so far, but that six point gap at the top of the table remains onerous. It will take an enormous effort to overcome.

Tim Horton: Is that official that Ontario will return to lockdown on Weds?
My son returns to Toronto tomorrow.

if your referring to my boring boring boring comment , it was directed to all the thems transfer talk on here not the Man U game.
I can absolutely 100% guarantee that Tiny Tim is a died-in-the-wool Celtic supporter who spends a hell of a lot of money following the team. Not that the amount of money he spends matters but in the context of someone questioning his Celtic credentials, it is entirely relevant.
I know Tiny Tim is 100% Tim but he must be one of the most pessimistic blokes ever to post here.
We are 6 pts behind, one visit to the Bigot Dome over.
We do not have to beat them twice and draw the other Derby & win every other game.
We have to pull back 6 points over next 18 games, however we do it.
They will drop points so will we.
I do however think we need to win the next Derby to put them under a bit of pressure.
Currently they are slight favourites for Title, but the race is far from over.
Also worth mentioning that in last 18 games, they have 8 at home 10 away, we have 10 at home & 8 away.
I think it’s important to not take yourselves and your opinion of yourselves or your friends too seriously.
Read yer man’s post again. Couldn’t care less how much he spends.
Henderson joins Hibs….
Hibs are set to sign Celtic’s Ewan Henderson on a three-and-a-half year deal, Football Scotland understands.
Shaun Maloney had been credited with an interest in the Hoops youngster in recent days, and now looks like getting his man.
It’s understood the 21-year-old was at the Hibees’ East Mains training ground today and is close to signing on until the summer of 2025.
And if things progress quickly enough, the deal could be announced as soon as tomorrow.
Maloney worked with Henderson, younger brother of Easter Road hero Liam, during his spell in charge of Celtic’s B team and sees him as a good fit at Easter Road.
The midfielder’s contract was due to be up in the summer and he was informed that he could leave Parkhead.

Your only narrative would be to retract.
Sad.all it takes is a bit of learning.

Okay, I will. I have never had comments removed from CQN, you have. So save me the patronising, faux highground moral lecture, please.
I called out a negative nelly with some comical sevco taunts and you saw an opportunity to discredit me for some reason.

Heard earlier on Radio 5 that when the three Japanese Bhoys signed for Celtic
it was announced on the Bullet Train News Bulletin
As in News Just In on the Bullet Train Bulletin

We might slag off Nathan Patterson because he plays for them but he is a big leggy hard runnng RB with caps for a slightly resurgent Scottish team. He seems to be in the Alan Hutton mode and they got similar money for him.
*Naw they didnae, money never changed hands. This deal was as a result of bader trying to slope Joe Lewis for ENIC money that Joe had invested and the kid on fly man widnae pay back, there was also a million that they had to pay mutton as he refused to move unless they did.
Nothing on SSN,nothing on the Transfer News.Is this a wind up ?
Well done Peter Wright,2 time World Champion Incredible performance.
That’s 4 World Champions and a News Of The World champion I have played.
Only won once in 1990,beat Bobby George in Muscat,Oman.
TURKEYBHOY on 3RD JANUARY 2022 11:07 PM
I think beating Bobby George deserves a bit more than `only`. :-))).
Mind you, you have only beaten him once more than I have :-)
Turkeybhoy
from the Liverpool echo
Latest reports, though, suggest an announcement could be made as early as Tuesday as the player undergoes medical checks and finalises personal terms.
…..and he has never beaten me:-)
`night all.
ALMORE
It’s like stage 2 ,bars,restaurants ,gyms and a few others people to work from home if they can and no school.
When this started people were saying it’s just a bad cold ,well this could really test our health system that was not the best to start with imo.It’s going to be a rough ride.
Tontine Tim
It seems similar.
In both cases they did not gain money but got £xm of debt relief (whatever they owed Joe Lewis, for Hutton, and a portion of what they owe Mike Ashley, for Patterson.)
Still failin.Martim.its bout you.
Its a question of respect.
You called a good tim a hun.You were wrong.
Others suggested too btw.

Negative nelly-another example of you being a coward,toning down your language from hierarchy of addictive abuses you were using as slander-think it was’get him off the glue.
Crass stupidity and a coward .

Hello again all you young rebels.
From a moderately hot Melbourne, only 28 degs, lovely 🌞
Managed to do a full park of lines ( Eat your heart out Fat Boy Dim )
last couple days, so all set for our return on Thu.
Omicron raging now all over here, so that may change, as health system
struggling.
A few of my loons down kicking the baw about, said to the wee mhan
“ where’s your new Celtic top a bought you for Chrissy ?
“ Keepin it for Thu training paps “
He did have on an all green tshirt which said
“ My home is in Melbourne
but my heart is at Celtic Park “
That’ll do for me👍

From The National:
“His transfer eclipses the £9million that Rangers received when Alan Hutton made the move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2008”
Perhaps we should ask the reporter to show us where this transaction is shown in the accounts of The Rangers International Football Club, the year that Hutton was transferred. “hoist with one’s own petard” comes to mind, por cierto
Good morning all from a frost covered Garngad
A quick look through Celtic news now and see the rags continue with all possitive stories about thems and all doom and gloom about us (ps never clicked and never will click on a rag).
Without me joining the doom and gloom of the smsm rags :) :) if we let shaw, Urighoude, Henderson and a few others go and only bring in 3 we could be in a worse position numbers wise if our bad luck with injuries continues.
We need another 3 or 4 in pronto.
D :)
Tim Horton: thanks for update. My son wasn’t aware that that’s what he was returning to, although he’s coped well with the pandemic so far.
MM – Lovely wee story.
Keep it lit Amigo.

Your posts bring some of that lovely sunshine you are currently experiencing and help light the place up. Good mhan.
G’day Mick 😎 🦘🦘
Oh and another thing. As someone mentioned the other day Scottish football should be looking at playing football in the summer and stopping during winter.
If we have to live with different variants of covid and our governments will impose guidelines every winter to cope then it would make good business sense to change your model.

Think many are bored with your antics. You feed off trying discredit folk. Regularly abuse others and don’t like it when someone stands up to you.
So many trying to be ‘Mr Celtic’ but really here for politics. This is the real motive of this attempt to discredit me. It’s not the first time it won’t be the last.
I started off with light hearted fun yesterday which continued. Your pals comments may aswell of been lifted off an msm article or a quote from a clyde 1 call.
‘Morning Celts’
And for the record for those reading what I actually posted was:
Liquidation🤣😂🤣😂
And
You let your club die🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Which any normal, balanced Celtic fan would laugh at and move on.
If Dundee as reported send Griff back to us this window, the best solution all round is to pay Griff up and wish him well.
