With Manchester City yesterday officially announcing the signing of Erling Haaland for £51 million pounds by today’s standards a steal for a player of his notoriety and quality .Manchester City also have a net spend of over one billion pounds since Pep came to the club, just highlights how well Celtic have acted in the transfer market over the last year buying what equates to a new squad for a fraction of the coast.
This is even more remarkable when you consider the contrast in revenue for the two clubs with Manchester City receiving over £200 million in tv rights fees alone. An astronomical difference compared to the shoddy and armature deal given to SPFL clubs of just two million pounds.
What’s also incredible is the amount of Ange signings that have made a huge impact on the team upon arrival with Kyogo, Jota, Maeda and Hatate all hitting the ground running. Even late bloomers such as Giakoumakis ending as the league’s joint top scorer, it really has been a master class in working with a modest budget from Postecoglou and his coaching staff
All this is clear evidence that Ange must continue to be fully supported in the coming season especially with a return to Europes premier competition on the horizon the permanent addition of Carter Vickers points to another successful siege into the market this season for the Celts.
