CONFIRMED Auston Trusty signs for Celtic

[AdamSufc1997]

We can’t think he’s worth more than that surely

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We can’t think he’s worth more than that surely

It must be timing of gettnig someone in & realising that RND struggled at CB last night so that new position will take time to learn plus he's regaining fitness.

 

[Houston_Blade]

If this is true I’ll fly to Sheffield from Houston on the next flight, pick him up and drive him up to Glasgow. The bloke is absolutely shit.

 

[Harry's Game]

I’d have taken a loss on him, terrible player

 

[FriethBlade]

Game of poker, he's proved himself in this division before so we won't let him go cheaply or before we have somebody lined up. And all this presupposes thay Trusty actually wants to go north of the border.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Left footed CB's come at a premium. We know a realistic replacement / improvement on what we have won't be cheap either

 

[Blade58]

Not sure the bid has been accepted?

So also not sure where that leaves Mikey Johnston coming the other way?

 

[Badger Blade]

We're doing bloody well to be attracting bids for players like this, alongside Slimane and Traore who Wilder saw through as soon as he walked through the door pretty much.

As long as Hamer stays, I couldn't give a buggery about whether Trusty, Souza, Slimane, Grbic (conspicuous by his absence last night) or anyone else from last season that we signed who's still on the books is still here or not.

I'm thinking the rejection isn't necessarily to do with the Trusty valuation. This deal is obviously directly linked to Johnston so maybe they are valuating him higher than we like.

 

[Wards]

Do they really need to be left-footed if we are playing a back 4? I'd suggest absolutely not though I do know Wilder has a bit of a hard-on for this business.

Not aware that the 2 ‘deals’ have been linked in any way shape or form ?
All the ‘reporting’ has them as mutually exclusive ?

We've had a bid accepted for him

Think the Johnston transfer is already agreed, fee was reported as agreed yesterday while the news about Trusty has only just been revealed today.

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Selling Trusty would be a massive mistake

Left-footed , Tall, Athletic , Fast , Half decent on the ball

He could be the face of the USA Blades Brand for year to come

 

[BladeInIreland]

Source ?
Ref my post above

I don't have a source it just seems logical. We want one of theirs they want one of ours. They act the bollocks we act the bollocks. We act the bollocks they act the bollocks.

E.g we see it as we should net a profit of 2.5 mill from this deal.
2.5 for Johnston
5 for trusty
They want 4 mill for Johnston? Ok we want 6.5 for Trusty.

 

[BladeInIreland]

We've had a bid accepted for him

If we have a bid accepted, and he still hasn't signed doesn't that further point towards the deal being dependent on the Trusty deal? Hopefully just a case of getting the lad down for medical etc.

We’ve told Celtic we want more apparently

Good point, I didn't think about the American connection.
One thing I liked about Trusty last night is as soon as he came on the first thing he did was put that Barnsley forward on his arse!
As if to say "I'm marking you now, you can foook right off!"

Traore is doing well for Basel and our forward line are hardly pulling up any trees think he has dropped a bollocks there.

 

[Booker4]

As opposed to just not wanting to sell I assume. Every player has his price and all that. Everything probably will go down to the wire maybe minus the incoming of Johnston.

If we get over £5m for Trusty then we’ve done some right business

£6m Trusty (pure guess to the final fee)
£5m Traore
£10-15m Osula
£6m Bogle

If the above is anything to go buy we’ll be flogging Slimane for £5m too

 

[HeySethUTB]

Use it to buy Mepham. Then imagine a back three of Anel, Souttar, Mepham. More than enough to compete at the top of the division. Shame we’re insisting on playing this weird system.

Was thinking the same thing… some excellent negotiation on all of those for me. Bogle only one you’d argue is worth more but with a year left and wanting to leave - it’s more than decent. If we can add a couple of mil for slimani too!

Add to that cooper for c£2m
And Burrows for c£3m

It’s not bad going in all honesty

 

[bertieblade]

Typical example of what happens when a selling club (SUFC) know that the buying club have just received lots of cash.
Well done blades, makes such a change from the days of McCabe when he bent over backwards at the sight of another clubs cheque book

The one thing we need to between now & Friday is replace Trusty if he goes. If that’s with a RCB playing LCB so be it (if there isn’t a LCB available). We can’t have 3 CBs and RND as back up.

Great.

But it'd be good to see some of it reinvested. We've brought plenty in, offloaded a load of others on high wages and have parachute payments to cushion our relegation.

You’d like to think we’d have some money in the bank to do so
