“We’ll think of it as a John McGinn sized boob” – Hugh Keevins warning Celtic fail to capture permanent deal for loan star
I don’t know about you, but I am fed up of pundits going on about John McGinn.
It was, what, three years ago now?
The simple fact is, he was never coming to Celtic because Hibs played hardball and so did Celtic. End of story.
Forget about it and move on.
But it seems to be Hugh Keevins go to scenario whenever he thinks Celtic are about to fail in a proposed move for a player. And he’s not the only pundit to do it either.
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Keevins was talking about the proposed permanent move of Jota, when he said, “I think in the case of Jota if Celtic don’t get one a permanent deal, the fans will be profoundly unhappy.
“And we’ll think of it as a John McGinn size boob.
“And in the case of Carter Vickers. I think he’s been solid, solid as a rock at the back for Celtic.
Should Celtic sign Martin Boyle from Hibs? |
“Unlike Starfield to blue and hot and cold so I think the fans would like to see Carter Vickers stay.
“He is not the tallest for a central defender. But he makes the most of what he’s got.
“So I have certain sympathy for Celtic because at a time of financial uncertainty, fans expect 12 million pounds to be shelled out on these two players.
“But at the same time, I think if they get neither the fans would not welcome that.”
If Celtic don’t get Jota, I don’t think it will ultimately come down to the price. Why?
Because Celtic agreed the price when the loan move was signed off. It was PRE arranged. By both clubs.
It will come down to whether the Portuguese winger will want to commit to Glasgow when the crunch time comes.
That’s it.
But we need to let the John McGinn thing go.
