If Barca are trying to get 22 million for Digne, and not this rumoured 14/16, I would suspect that this is a ploy from us to smoke out Celtic.

But don't forget about the -40m from net spend for last season and -50m from Pickford and klassen that will also be in the accounts for last seasons accounts
I think the funes Mori money will be used to sign a defender.

Don't forget about all the money from the Angry Birds partnership. That'll sort us right out.

Wouldnt be angry if we ended up signing him anyways

I'd be pretty pissed off if we spent 22 or so on him whilst not wanting to stump up a few more million for Tierney.

He reminds me of Nick Barmby.

Talented when he is motivated but he is not the sort of player I would want here.

He's an absolute blimp of a player.

He's going to bag you a few goals a season, but don't expect consistency (which is exactly what we lack, and need).

He's not good enough for where we need to be.

The frustrating thing at the moment is that you see the names "Doucoure" "Tierney" "Mina" and you know these players would undoubtedly improve us in vital positions we struggled in last season. Just put up the cash and get them signed up rather than fannying around 'poising' 'readying' ourselves.

If Everton were a lad at a bar it would be last orders and all the totty has been snapped up whilst we poise ourselves for a lonely tug. Come on EFC give us some hope for once!

We have done this in the past though and it didn't really help us re:negotiations

Swansea absolutely took us for a ride with Sigurdsson, and we did it often with Williams, Bolasie, Schneiderlin, Keane, Walcott & Klaassen off the top of my head.
How much? Well if you want him just pay the extra

We gained a reputation for being easy marks. We need to show other clubs we wont be taken for fools, if that means waiting a little longer to get a deal done, than so be it

On what basis exactly?

Digne has played in Ligue 1, Seria A and La Liga, whilst Tierney has played in Scotland. He is only 24 so still a long term Baines replacement.

On the basis that I think Tierney is going to be a fantastic footballer when he moves on to a higher level and that I've watched Digne for a few years, even make that step up and just not progress.

Chances are, a top champions league club would also him if he was to leave.

Digne, of course - can't see many queuing up to pay that sum of money for a player performing well for Celtic in that league.

I'd stop at around 16m. Barca trying to fleece you for anything more.
