CELTIC have been linked with a move for striker Ivan Toney in recent weeks. The Peterborough striker has been sensational for his club and has caught the attention of many clubs.
According to chairman Barry Fry, the club has now allowed Toney to thrash out a deal with an unnamed club with a fee just being agreed. However, he stressed it wasn’t Celtic but he DID put a phone call into Celtic Park to let them know about the situation.
“We have given a club permission to speak to Ivan because they met our valuation.” Fry told SunSport.
“It’s not Celtic but, out of courtesy, I let Celtic know what had happened.
“They asked to be kept informed and we informed them. I haven’t heard from them since then.”
There was obviously interest from Celtic but with a reported valuation of £11m, it was never going to be likely. This is a mother insight into how the transfer market is going. We dread to think what Gary Hooper would have cost us back when Neil Lennon was in charge the first time when we were interested in the striker. Lower league clubs are asking for more but then again, so are Celtic. We have watched the club smash their transfer fee received record in two consecutive seasons.
So Toney will not be heading to Celtic.
That is about all it comes to a chat but i tell you this we need to play football this season or 10 is gone, they are showing signs of taking over from us its time to buy in the right type of player now, they did beat us we even won one game but where outplayed and it could have been 4 or 5 -0 to them we need to wake up now…
No more hiding get stuck in and play football do not stand behind the ball or they will win as easy as PSG did we do not even look on a par with them now get the new faces that play football hard and fair like them..
we need all hands to the pumps they got a team now that have outplayed us twice last season we could do with 4 Elite players that will get stuck in and not hide in games when we play them look they want to play football hard and fast some thing we have forgot to do when playing them we can never get out of our box so how can we win..
