I posted this on a website a year or so ago,and it got mentioned again in a discussion just the other day. Here's how it goes,let us know your thoughts on this here.
Okay guys hows about coming into this from a slightly different angle on thread just to see how far us Tims can actually stretch our ways of thinking.
I have a wee solution ... It may be a mad stab in the dark but what if the board came out with this answer to the expensive quality signing conumdrum.
Bare with me ...
Celtic as I gather have a world wide fan base they reckon of roundabout 9 million.
This figure is widely banded about the numbers being accumulated through supporters Clubs ,forums and other means.
Lets just say that the 9 million figure is shall I say a little inflated (maybe more maybe less)
so for arguments sake im nocking it down to 5 million
thats 5 million Tims world wide over the age of 18.
The board comes up with the following proposal:
they will aquire a special type of player every 2 years .
A player of high quality in the £10 million bracket .
(That's about €11.76 million)
An Example of a Ten million pound player who Arsenal are tracking is Mexes:
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has once again been linked with AS Roma’s defensive lynchpin Philippe Mexès. The Gunners made an approach for Mexès last summer which was turned down.
Mexès, 28, has periodically been linked with a move away from the Giallorossi with moves to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid his most likely destination.
(QUALITY DOES'NT NEED TO COST £30 Million
There has also been much interest from our shores with Manchester United and Liverpool also said to be monitoring
his situation.
The 18 cap defender has allegedly been told by Roma officials that his current deal will not be renewed, which has led to reports the Gunners could seal the deal for as little as £4.5 million.(NO WAY )
The Italian outfit will be less inclined to accept a deal of this value and would be looking to actually make money from the transfer. It has been noted that Roma would be willing to do business at around €12 Million.
(£10 million is around €11.76 million at present.)
So thats an idea of whats about in Europe.
The player will be of a key position a requirement of the current management team.
Let's say lenny is in definate need of a CENTRE BACK (for
example)
The board will draw up a list of names in the £10 million bracket from around Europe and or Asia.
These names shall be put up on a web site for the 5 million to vote on.
With a 1st ,2nd and 3rd choice to vote on.
Example: IGNORE THE NAMES
1st MEXES
2nd WOODGATE
3rd SAMBA
Th board will then require £2 yes TWO QUID from each supporter which will be collected through a dedicated web site.
Each person who donates has their name put onto a giant Pixel picture of the nominated player when the £10 million target is reached the picture is complete and the player is
signed.
This system was used to secure Lucas Podolski at Koln..
It proved very popular with their fans who incidently have no where near our fan base worldwide.
That Equates to the FULL TRANSFER FEE
The board shall take on the resposibility of financing the wages.
As the fans have stumped up the big money for transfer
Now put yourself in the shoes of any half decent young up and coming player or waining top class proffesional in his final years Like an Henry or Requelme (for example)
You have been approached by THE FAMOUS GLASGOW CELTIC who point out 5 million fans world wide have stumped up the cash to buy YOU .....YOU AND NO ONE ELSE.
they want you at Parkhead winning titles and taking on Europes Elite.
Most footballers are big heads let's face it,they love all the adoration and hero worship.
So coming in with that coupled with the size of Celtic us showing ambition and a clear indication of going forward could just sway the players thinking.
Especially the guys on the wain like your Requelme's and your Henry's etc.
It's a bit out there i know but i think theres something in it.
Think about it TWO MEASLEY QUID EVERY TWO YEARS .
Or 4 Bags of crisps ...............TATIES IF YOU LIKE.
Think about the headlines :
FOR EVERY FIVER YOU SPEND
THEY OWE TEN
WE GET TWO OF THESE
