I’m going to bet who knows nothing about Celtic’s transfer business.
As Ange Postecoglou continues his work at recruiting players the best way he knows how, with stealth and secrecy, the Celtic gaffer is a master at pulling off a signing without the media getting a whiff of it.
Look at last seasons winter window. A triple Japanese signing caught the Scottish media on the hop and Ange’s latest recruit, although was heavily rumoured to happen, the announcement of Kobayashi took everyone by surprise.
So when Frank McAvennie claims he knows what’s going on behind the scenes, a serious pinch of salt needs to be taken with it.
“This is what I have been told,” he told Football Insider.
“The situation is that Ange speaks to his agent and tells him who he identifies with and it is his agent who deals with Mark.
“I am not saying he does not speak to Ange but the day to day things go through his agent.
“I think Ange just wants to deal with the football which is great. He tells them who he has got and who he wants and they go get them for him.“
Yeah, you not buying it either? Don’t get me wrong, McAvennie probably does have contacts within Celtic Park (for tickets etc….) but the inside scoop on Ange’s transfer inner workings?
Do me a favour.
