The spreadsheet on file at every club

550
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

There is a spreadsheet on file at every club with the anticipated sale value of each player on it.  This value often has nothing to do with how important the player is to the club, or even how good he is, it is a hard assessment of what the market will pay.

Kristoffer Ajer, for example, could end up at a tier one club next season, but his price tag will be inhibited by only having 12 months left on his Celtic contract.  James Forrest is also a talent and has two years remaining on his current deal.  James, though, will turn 30 in July.  The time Spurs managers travel to Glasgow to watching his passed.

Younger players with plenty on their contracts are not assured money either.  Ismaila Soro (22) has three years left on his contract but the spreadsheet at Celtic is unlikely to have a figure as high as we paid for him last year; Ismaila just has not played enough football to merit a reflective increase in value.

Market health is also a factor.  There is seemingly endless supply of debt to those tier one clubs, but the game in most of Europe is on its knees.  What would we expect from a French club for the likes of Olivier Ntcham, after the collapse of their TV deal?

Which brings us Patryk Klimala.  I like Patryk, his willingness to show for the ball and bust a lung to get back and find space was a refreshing change of pace from much of what we watched this season.  Various coaches didn’t think he had what it takes for Celtic, so his chances were limited and an exit increasingly likely.

We paid £3.5m for him; I expected to collect around a third of that when he moved on, not the entire sum we got back from New York Red Bulls.  That’s nothing, to the £10m Bayer Leverkusen paid for Jeremie Frimpong in January, a player I wanted dropped and replaced.  The keeper of Celtic’s spreadsheet has enjoyed updating a column this week.

I wonder if New York or Bayer want a goalkeeper with Champions League and European international experience?

    Cheers Celtic Mac. I have been to Berlin a few times in the last 10 or so years and I like it but it’s never grabbed me as much as it has my friends, or other cities (Cape Town, Paris, London for example) have. I may even prefer Cologne 🤷🏽‍♀️

     

     

    I can’t quite put my finger on the reason.

     

     

    I watched the first series of the Deutschland series and really enjoyed it. I’ll check out the rest.

    a rancid skank bedwetting the same mattress as the tories?

     

     

    is the scottish parliament as corrupt as your unions?

     

    where Geoege diverts attention from the next generation of eton/harrow inculcated corruption as the next generation of boris vomit us bedpatted in by the faux working class galloway.

    My lasting memory of that tune is from years ago when I was in the Scouts.

     

    We had a trip to Switzerland and to save money we teamed up with another pack from Paisley.

     

     

    We had just boarded the train to London when the Paisley mob started on that song with a sectarian slant.

     

    Conflict from the start, but my abiding memory was the sectarianism was so normalised. It has stuck in my mind after all these years.

    Trolling multi logins from the political gutter stoking religious intolerance appealing to the lowest common denominator for votes…………………desperate

     

    No doubt the golfing gammon goldfish in between reading the Daily Express and CQN will be along soon with open mouths incredulously asking what’s wrong with these posts FFS

     

     

    Aff oot to walk a wee hill with a couple of fine Celtic men, it will be good chat and breath the fresh air, CQN needs some windaes open and some trolls chucked oot them

     

     

    Have a good day

    Do we have an official whichfinder general to seek out the trolls and dispense summery justice?

    na on 2nd thought an orange supporting unionist gives the snp what for?- alas people remember even if some of that famed British amnesia comes into play.and it is some amnesia even today trying to exclude murderers in uniform who shot innocent humans in ireland.

    Cheers for the reply friend.

     

     

     

     

    Yes I too cheered that night as like yourself I was totally unaware of Saville’s antics, seems that tens of thousands of us were unaware.

     

    …………….

     

    With respect…You have read my post wrongly.

     

    What NIGHT ?…I seem to remeber Saville jogged round the Track one Saturday afternoon during Half Time ?

     

    I NEVER Cheered or applauded Saville when he jogged round Celtic Park…as I can CLEARLY stated in my earlier Post, I couldnt stand him anyway, as I always thought he was a Talentless, Weirdo Chump ?

     

    You also appear to think that I have some liking for Galloway…I do NOT ?

     

    I was simply asking the question of when Galloways Photo with Saville was taken…and IF it was AFTER Johnny Lydons interview ( which I suspect it was ?), it may question whether Galloway had known and/or had Heard ANY stories about the Creep Saville…PRIOR to that Photo being taken ? I am NOT saying that Galloway knew anything about Saville at that precise time…Because I do NOT know obviously ?

     

    I have NO Time for Galloway and His Unity Party….NOT Interested…Period.

     

    I also did NOT need to know YOUR opinions on Nicola Sturgeon…Im a Big Bhoy…I make up my OWN Mind.

    So the blog ( yes blog ) membership is now defined by who you have personally met. Deary me.

     

     

    For your records, I have met a fair few posters in McChuills and once in the Blane Valley.

     

    I apologise for working away from home and missing many outings and indeed games.

     

    You can mark me down accordingly.

    Morning all.

     

     

    Starting to think that the club wouldnt leave us in lurch like this without good reason.so me thinks the sound of silence is due to EH having a settlement clause in his contract that is quite a hefty payment.

    Head into Glasgow today to take part in the rally thats part of the world-wide demonstration against against the lockdowns ,restrictions , experimental gene therapy jags , lose of basic human rights, police state etc etc .

     

     

    Expecting a good turn out as Scotland is waking up with more and more people seeing through the Government -media lies and propaganda .

     

     

    Do nothing and I fear we will be heading to a future in which everything will be highly controlled ,no more foreign holidays , DNA jags every year ,a big brother world that even George Orwell couldn’t have dreamed of.

     

    If they get their way there aint going to be any returning to”normal” ……ever. We have to fight for our freedoms.

    What I do support is freedom of speech on Paul’s blog as long as its within the blogs acceptable criteria.

     

     

    What I do not support is the sleeze, corruption and failure we have with the current Westminster and Holyrood governments.

    To those folk who do NOT want any Vaccine..thats your choice ( Although you may be putting others at risk ?), but maybe you should have a look at the Terrible situation in India were THOUSANDS of people are literally dying on the streets every day, as they can NOT get any Medical help…including Oxygen.
