Alexandro Bernabei was finally announced as a Celtic player by former club, Lunas, in the early hours of this morning. At 21, the left back is the same age Greg Taylor was when he joined the club in 2019.
The environment Alexandro worked in at Lanus could hardly be more different than what he walks into at Celtic. Lunas won only three of the last 20 league games their former defender played in, including his final game, which saw Alexandro red carded. The pressure to win was significantly less than in Glasgow.
That factor possibly permits young talent more scope to flourish; teams stuck somewhere in the no man’s land that is lower midtable of a 26-team league, need not stress about winning or losing too much. Even relegation is a multi-year process in Argentina, no one season alone can put you down.
One year before Alexandro’s contract expired, the reported £3.75m fee is a discount on the money Lanus earned when selling a central defender to Parma last year for €10m, or a midfielder to Atlanta for €6m in 2020. Hopefully that discount is due more to the expiring contract than any perception of the player’s prospects.
Welcome to Celtic, Alexandro! There is a lot of hard work ahead, but it is great to see Celtic work the globe to fine value. Contrast with the days we travelled the M8 to find Chris Killen could scarcely be greater.

Celtic40Me,
If you included it in a pricing that replaced the admin for the season ticket waiting list, you’d get more value.
Get more capacity to the ground on the day, get more revenue into match day entertainment like shop and grub.
Give season ticket holders more value and reason to renew (offset against next season’s ST)…
etc etc..

We sell out our season tickets as it is.
We don’t sell out all our match day tickets. We certainly wouldn’t if season book seats in better areas were offered at similar prices.

Main stand rebuild in the context of our hospitality offer …
Our hospitality offer is a complete dog’s breakfast — pun intended.
You seemingly can get a seat in the directors box without getting any complimentary food / drink — WTF?
This is all fur coat and nae knickers / Auld Reekie kind of behaviour — budget ticket to get into the Directors Box after you have had a meal deal from Tesco for your lunch. Is this some kind of favour for somebody’s pal who’s pension can’t afford the full offer.
This is amateur hour …
Executive Club with lounge access / seat in the directors box @ £3275.
Walfrid Suite as above but with some scran is £5786.
What is the issue — the size of the kitchen?
Has all the credibility of public schools — including Eton — with the bargain basement day rate so that back in the day the MOD had to pay over the odds for the boarding option while the distressed gentle person slumming it in the military for exactly this reason only had to pay the special day pupil rate.
Is our boardroom just a St Als Reunion club?
Big Wavy
I don’t get your logic on this
You are talking about making a season book instantly cheaper but asking everyone but the season book holder to pay for it
Barcelona have been operating a seat resale system for years.
If thought through properly, Celtic could do the same. Any system must suit all parties concerned.
looks like someone once again knows he haw about anything to do with celtic.
Everyone loves nice things until they have to pay for them
Evening all.

Great see you have had a cracking day, the value of the bus pass is way underestimated.
BRRB, do not be leading that young fella astray. :)
Sorry I couldn’t make it today, the hospital procedure to a little longer than expected.
Also noted that David66 was unlikely to attend, so I decide to keep my comedy stand up routine for another time.
David66 enjoy your holiday. I haven’t seen any posts from Big Jimmy, I trust he is ok, please pass on my regards.

Back to the future – have to post as soon as you log in – where is my Delorian😀
I can exclusively reveal that Jota is NOT in Glasgow.
I can however also confirm that he and Ange have just passed my son in Kirky heading for the Lennoxtown Academy! 😉
Woo Hoo!!!
BILLYBHOY1967 on 30TH JUNE 2022 7:56 PM
I so hope so, cheers
I have little to no knowledge of accounting practices.
Is there any material advantage in signing a player on 1st July rather than 30th June? Realise we’re then into H2.
Genuinely curious
Maybe going to say his good-byes 😨
billybhoy1967
Coulda been headin for The Drookit Dug.
No?
Uncle Jimmy
I read the other day that Jota’s contract with Benfica didnt expire until today so he couldn’t sign until tomorrow.

There’s worse places to drink.
Haven’t been in any myself mind! 😉

I hope that they gave a cheery wave to the clients of the Rangers club in Luggiebank Road.

Let me get this straight. Some on here believe that if you do not sell out every seat for every match, then there is no justification for advocating a rebuild of a Main Stand last upgraded over fifty years ago. Thankfully Fergus McCann did not consult you before embarking on his plans for Celtic FC and for Celtic Park back in the early 1990s itself now over twenty five years past.

Great wee bar!
Those posts are still there moderator
What’s going on ?
You know,having played at quite a high level,I think I can tell a football player.Anyone who reads my posts,maybe not many,will remember I was raving about Bosun Lawel last season,saying we should sign this boy up for as long as we can,he will be the next VVD.Check,its easy.I see it might be happening.
This from the H
Numpty that brought you the full story on Ivan Toney,and told all that we were signing CCV when no one had a clue ,on the last day.
Not bragging,but again,rinse and repeat,Anyone who thinks Jullien is a poor CH,knows SFA about football.
UNCLE JIMMY on 30TH JUNE 2022 8:10 PM
Selling a player maybe, you include any profit in that years sales, but not buying. For accounting purposes the transfer cost of a player is spread across the duration of his contract, in four years worth of accounts, so no benefit from starting one day earlier.
That years accounts that should read
Billybhoy and Celtic40
Many thanks. Makes sense.
It might make sense for Benfica who also have a year-end date of 30 June.
Moderator 1888,
I see you are deleting posts for language,yet the MadMan can post,every second post,absolute manure on any type of discussion related to Celtic.
I know its all about opinions,but FFS,how much drivel must the blog put up with?.
Nonsense,unreadable,unsubstantiated,indecipherable opinionated,claptrap.
But ,Hey,that’s fine.
But no swearing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Easy to say “Scroll bye”,that’s not the point.Like Kev J and his gang,its making the Blog a laughing stock.
