If we are all really honest with ourselves, we can all concede that it looks ever likely that Josip Juranovic is heading out the door this winter. Or the summer at the very latest.
So when Football Scotland came out with this headline:
You think, ‘Yes! It looks like he could be staying!’ Right?
Well, kind of……not.
Because the source of the story is not the player, or the agent, or even someone at the club.
Hell, at this point, I’d take a quote from Jura’s granny above the personal that this article decided to go with.
It was none other than Frank McAvennie.
Yep. You read that right.
From a guy that claimed Celtic would probably need to sell Jota to keep Kyogo and O’Riley and absolutely slated Ralston last season when the right back was in a rich vein of form, we are supposed to listen to him on this.
McAvennie is a footballing dinosaur. His opinion is not taken seriously by any Celtic fan so for a qualified journalist to do a straight copy and paste from the click-bait site of Football Insider is just ludicrous.
Not a single bit of analysis was offered on what McAvennie said, “It is not just Celtic. I think every club is a selling club now. It does not make any difference what contract he is on. If someone comes in and the right money is offered, he will be gone.
“If they are offering him a new contract now he should take it. Then Celtic are going to get more money out of it. It is a win-win for the player. If he has got respect for Celtic, and I think he does, then he will sign the contract.”
Absolute nonsense from Frank. Football isn’t like what it was in his day. Money is long. Not loyalty or respect.
The modern day footballer looks after themselves, and so they should, but to claim Juranovic is ‘tipped’to sign a contract based on that flimsy quote is, for me, rank rotten ‘churnalism’ and is best ignored by all Celtic fans.
