It is very frustrating as fans but whilst we are stuck in Scottish football it will continue. I've got to agree with James, we have the stadium, we have the fan base and we'd definitely have good investment if we were in a more competitive, attractive league but while we are were we are things will continue and we'll always be a selling club. I really do believe though that hypothetically we were in the EPL, the likes of Forster, wanyama, big Virgil etc would have hung about longer than they did.

Your right, the main reason we sign a certain level of player is mainly down to the league and of course finances. We can't compete with the money floating about in English football. As for the likes of Holland Portugal etc even Germany to an extent they countries play a hell of a lot of home grown talent which can only be a good thing for they're national teams. There was more money kicking about back when Larsson, van bronckhorst, the de Boers, Gascoigne loudrup etc played up here and to be fair the team across the city were spending money belonging to everyone bar themselves hence the reason they are were they are now. There's no point in Celtic spending 10/ 15 million ( if we could) on players when no other team can compete with us up here. To be fair to our board, over the last 6/ 7 years we've made some decent signings from lesser teams in England etc and have sold on for a lot more than we paid for them. The likes of Fraser Forster, wanyama, big Virgil at Southampton, ki, and I'm sure there's a few more ( not all top 4/ 5 team material down there) but we've done no bad out it mate.

Calm yourself down cat, for someone with such a poor opinion on the SPFL you must see a fair bit of it to know exactly how poor it is 😂😂😂😂.

Guess it must be hard to remember how good Chelsea were before Roman came in with his billions eh cat? For the record the SPFL doesn't even begin to compare with the EPL but what a club like Celtic can offer is a chance for these young guys that can't get a game for the likes of Chelsea, man city, man utd etc is first team football on a weekly basis with a bit of a feel for European football aswell. The top 4/ 5 teams in England aren't really interested in playing these boys they'd rather spend 30,40,50 million instead. The fact this young guy we're trying to sign from yous has apparently shown an interest in us tells you not every young guys content playing under 21 football and picking up a decent wage.
