Well, looks like I'm partly right so far...come on Tony.
Think of there was an Edouard deal to be done - or even if we were seriously interested and had a chance, Duffy would have gone permanently. Shame as he was my no1 choice of the strikers we’ve been linked with so far.

Perhaps Duffy didn't want a permanent deal, a seasons loan, playing for his boyhood club and he can always say he's played for them. Still be young enough and good enough for the Premier League in a years time i would have thought. He will know he's better than that standard, if it had been any other team up there i doubt he would have even considered it.

Could be a loan to buy? I read somewhere (probably Twitter so likely b******s), that Edouard’s advisers have already told us he’s not interested in coming here?

Apparently he says we are a step down from Celtic

I think I read were paying £20k toward Duffys wages. Rules out any perm or swap deal!

BS.
The daily record sees us a step down not the player.
Leicester are favourites though, maybe we could grab Ian Nacho on the cheap if they are successful?
Edouard is not strong in the aerial duels and is not a great header of the ball for his size if that helps quell the disappointment.

That was 16 years ago though, when Celtic and Rangers would have held their own (and more) against any Premier League side. The league has really gone down hill since, much of which would've been caused by Rangers' demotion to the 4th tier back in 2012.
Jon Obika scores goals in the SPL these days!

Well he's right it is a step down in the sense that they're challenging for, and probably winning, the league title each season & we're not. But in terms of quality on the pitch i'd say there's not much between us.

Maybe we are a step down, but the Premier League is a step up. If he is as good as he thinks, he can always use us as a stepping stone - that has worked well in the past.' Oh, wait a minute....

I guess he has been talking to Duffy already.

See the match?
I mean he's going the Nunez route isn't he?
Next move is, I imagine, supposed to be big money and top 6.
Although I thought Celtic were working on something with him for one more year to help with their "10 in a row"?
If I was a Celtic fan I'd be gutted to see him go, particularly right now.

Yep, this one looks consigned to the dustbin, but if Celtic are after £40 million (and I'm mindful this is due in part to a horror sell-on clause they have to honour) then they're taking the piss.
They sold Mousa Dembele to Lyon for £20 mill just 2 years ago, and we have Covid now, so how do they justify double that fee?
Surely it's £30 mill tops?
