Celtic’s transfer business is expected to ramp up before the end of the month.
With Ange admitting he would still like to add at least two players to the squad, I am sure the speculation will come thick and fast the closer we get to the window slamming shut.
But the club does need to move players on to balance out the wage bill.
We have made decent headway so far in managing to offload Ismaila Soro and Vasilis Barkas on loan but there are two players that many agree still need to be moved on before the end of the month.
Albian Ajeti and Christopher Jullien.
When asked on The Go Radio Football Show if the French defender has a future at the club, John Hartson was unequivocal in his answer, “It’s hard to move players out when they get comfortable at a big club.
“I just don’t think Ange fancies him
“And I think two things. I don’t think Ange fancies him and I’m not too sure whether he’d be forced to play him at some stage if there’s an injury.
“There’s only a month to go in the transfer window. I think if they can offload him before the end of the window, I think they will try and maximise what they can get for him.”
I’ve always maintained that after his rant to the French media about not being played, Jullien sealed his fate at the club.
I can’t imagine Ange would have been too happy at the Frenchman making his feelings public on the day we were set to seal the trophy and for me, there is no way back from that.
The sooner Jullien gets his move the better not only for him but for the club as well.
The only question is, how much can we realistically expect to get for him?
