Not in today's squad hopefully the link with Celtic isn't true.

It isn't. He's clearly EPL quality, so he'll be going there.

Honestly, if he wants to go to Celtic then cash in on him while we still can.
Celtic are garbage, by the way.

He SOMETIMES puts in a performance that would have the occasional viewer thinking that, but mostly he’s a very good championship player.
If he’s off, we need some proper wonga incoming. To replace brownhill with a like for like centre midfielder would cost us £15m-£20m I reckon, so that’s what we should be holding out for.

Im a Brownhill fan but if the Celtic link is true hes been poorly advised by his agent.
I still wish him the best

He gets Champions League football. When else is he going to get that opportunity. It's a no brainer let's be honest.

To be clear, Simon Evans is saying it because the commentator is saying it.

I wish Josh well in his (semi) retirement. A shame to go so early while in his prime. He’ll get a couple of games a season of note, ironically his first games up there would include Kompany’s Bayern. But the rest is League 1 standard.
Feels true, it was obvious on the club interview this week, he was saying something like “even if I stick below 200 games it is still proud and impressive”.
He’s done it the right way so I wish him well if and when he goes.

Given the other clubs supposedly interested, it would be a poor choice.

There’s no way we’d get that for him, in the last few months of his contract.
I can only assume that we have someone else lined up, if this is true. It’d be a strange move to risk promotion by selling now instead of allowing him a free at the end of the season.
I’ve never been his biggest fan, but he’s an integral part of what we have achieved, so far this season.

Evans has tweeted twice along the lines of "the commentator is saying Brownhill is off to Celtic".
He is repeating what he has heard, nothing else.

Do US based commentators often break stories about Championship football?

Selling our top scorer when we struggle enough as it is would be absolutely idiotic. I’m hopeful for that reason this isn’t true.

If he’s going I doubt we’ll get much more than £5m for him. Only 4 months left on his contract. It may just be a smaller loan fee.
He’s a key part of the dressing room and one of our better players at this level.
I’d rather him stay and help us with promotion. I feel we are weakened without him in the midfield.
That’s dependant on any incomings and we haven’t seen what Shelvey can do yet.

Ok, but he’s a commentator and this is being reported absolutely nowhere else? It’s possibly true, but it’s a usual place for genuine news to start.

As the British commentators definitely said it after he posted that. Can only assume various commentators have been told that

This is why we signed shelvy.
No serious wonga on offer for a 5 month contract in January.

He will win a Scottish Premiership champions medal followed by Champions League. 60,000 East Glasgow Scots roaring him on. The whole of Ireland and good chunks of America. Certainly all their police!

We lost the midfield battle at times today which we never really do - especially against 'poorer' sides. I personally think he would have made a difference.

Selling the captain and leading scorer in the January window might not be the wisest decision.
It will be for financial rather than footballing reasons given that his contract is running down.

Players getting better when they're not playing is the usual mentality on here, but not usually after missing one game!

Agreed. Brownhill is generally a decent Championship standard player, but given how we were set up today, I don't think he'd have made a difference to this game.
You obviously disagree, but hey ho.

Can’t say im overly bothered about Brownhill whatever happens. Hes a good top end championship player and just about adequate as a squad player in the premier league. Ultimately we need an improvement from Brownhill in the team if we are to be a premier league club.

Surely if he goes to Celtic it will be on a free transfer and we will get no fee
He is a free agent and can negotiate a move
