He was touted for a Scotland call-up a couple of weeks ago - as we all know, any non-OF player being touted for the national squad, is thereby automatically linked with one of the uglies (no-one else is worthy). It's standard practice for our sychophantic press. That's been the case for years. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day if you are playing regularly in Serie A at 18 you have the world at your feet if you want it. He by all accounts has slotted in fine there and I think it would be crazy to give that up when if he continues to develop as he has he will get far bigger and better offers than the Scottish League and Celtic.

Cruyff Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Bologna made an investment in Hickey and they will want to develop him and cash in when he's ready to step up. For that reason I cannot see Bologna selling him for less than £4-5million considering they paid £1.6million or whatever 12 months ago. Secondly, we get a percentage of any sale, so Bologna aren't going to shoot themselves in the foot by selling to Celtic, who imo wouldn't be paying £4-5million for an 18 Yr old Left Back when they have Greg Taylor. I'd add that they won't be selling Eduoard for £20million and replacing him with a striker who was playing in the Championship 12months ago. It's just pure made up nonsense. If Celtic are spending megabucks this summer, they won't be spunking the best part of £10million on two Scottish players who are not experienced or established Internationals. They'll be spending that cash on proven quality who can get them competing with Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 You would think we have a sell on for this, which means we would be due at least 400k if the deal goes through and is 4m. Good player, he probably has learned alot in italy. Would have preffered if he stayed there and developed more, up to him and his club though.

Mikey1874 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 There's a growing list of players Celtic could have signed but just weren't quite prepared to pay the going rate. Ivan Toney they could have got for around £11 million is quoted at £25 million minimum a year later. Who knows what John McGinn could go for though I see him staying at Villa. Eddie Howe can possibly work his magic to keep the money spent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkabalaJam Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) The decision to move to Bologna took a lot of careful consideration by Hickey, supported by his family. I have dealt with his father before, no fool, professional and has a successful business. He has relocated to Italy to support the transition so has also invested a lot into his sons future. So far the move has been successful for him, probably more than what he was anticipating. Can't see him coming home yet. Perhaps after a poor seasons with limited opportunities. The only way I can see him returning is of the opportunity simply wasn't working out as they had envisaged. Don't think it is a case of celtic clicking their fingers and he'll come running.

Kiwidoug Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I always got the impression that Hickey's dad was more keen on Celtic than Hickey himself. I think he should stay where he is.
