The Europa League tweet that shows Celtic were short changed in January transfer deal

Now look, before we get started, I’m not saying Josip Juranovic was a World class defender by any manner of means.

The Croatian had a great World Cup and helped his country to third spot in the tournament. Add that to a stunning performance against Brazil, Juranovic really put himself in the shop window with his performances.

Many said he only really performed in the Brazil game and the £10m Celtic will eventually receive is about right for the player.

OK, but since his arrival at Union Berlin, he has helped keep the club on the coat tails of Bayern Munich in the race for the title and also helped Union Berlin keep in with a chance of reaching the Europa Leage last 16.

Still not convinced we should have got more than £10m for him?

Then take a look at this tweet from UEFA which reminds us that he is also a dead ball expert:

I wouldn’t go as far as saying we were robbed by selling him for £10m but we should have pushed for, and got, more than the original fee.
