Newcastle linked with Will Hughes at Watford. Good player.

He's ok, but he's hardly kicked on since leaving Derby.

Burnley linked with Christie again today. Could see this happening he’s only got 6 months left on his deal.

7 goals and 15 assists, worth a punt at the right price and with just 6mths left...

Just reading a report that he frustrated Celtic fans because he would shoot from all sorts of angles

We'd probably welcome some of that here.

Rare you see a player’s contract ending mid-season.

Maybe they mean it's 6 months until he'd be able to sign a deal for someone else without a fee attached.

No, his contract ends at the end of the calendar year. He can sign a pre-contract now.

Interesting one Christie. It's a step up in league quality but Tierney has proven it can be done. It's a risk but reading various things online suggest other PL clubs are at least monitoring him. Palace believed to be interested.
He's only 26, so younger competition for our older preferred pairing. He looks like a pretty mobile, tenacious midfielder with an eye for goal. Doubt it'd be crazy money either given his odd contract situation.

Christie wouldn’t command a hefty fee you’d imagine , and is able to play in a few positions, probably needs to leave Celtic , he got pelters this season from their supporters , good age, a risk worth taking if his wages are sensible

We’ve been linked last few windows with him so wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he signed.

I see CP have signed Michael Olise for a reported £8m from Reading. At that price we should have been interested.

Eze and Olise for a combined 23m fee is crazy good business.

Olise had 19 goal contributions in 44 games last season. Not bad at all for a 19 year old.

That absolutely is. I knew we were interested but the fact he was kicked out due to not showing up to practice makes me think Dyche wouldn’t be happy....but if he’s ok with it... So am I!

Palace have been linked, but do people seriously think our players actually live in Burnley.

If we can get Christie on a modest fee we'd be wise to snap him up, he's still at a good age and he would hopefully add a goal threat from midfield.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Jul 09, 2021 8:21 am

Does Christie live in the east end area of Glasgow ?

If so, he might find Stoops similar to Chelsea

Indeed. I am assuming Christie doesn't live in a high rise in Drumchapel. There seems to be a strange belief that players live where they play.

If players had to live nearby the club they play for I think they’d take Burnley over Crystal Palace!

If Palace are showing the same possible interest in Christie as Burnley then I fear we will have to look elsewhere

Nothing concrete in the works then, but he sounds more hopeful than he did last summer, and given we've already forked out big money for Collins, another decent signing or two, and SD must just decide to commit his long term future to BFC, and it's not like he's got any better offers on the table is it.

The TV deal is in doubt again after last season's fiasco, plus Bordeaux's backers pulled out leaving a financial hole

On another note Robin Quaison has signed for a Saudi outfit........ must be for the chance to play at a higher level

Anyway if Watford want to spunk their cash on a forward who rarely scores let them be my guest, Josh King is on a downward spiral, and he has been for a few years now.

Nuno Tavares to Arsenal so we can put that one to bed. Which has me thinking, we are competing (presumably) for the same targets as an outfit like Arsenal as well as Man U sometimes and other clubs of a similar stature. We’re doing some things incredibly right. Nathan Collins father said it in the interview... there were other clubs in for Nathan but what mattered is that Sean really wanted him... it wasn’t just a signing but that we saw Nathan as an integral part of the team. I love being Burnley.

Is there a link to his fathers interview? I can’t find it.
