But in terms of money probably ok

If he moves to the SPL I think that's a fairly strong indicator that no offers from the EPL were incoming.

If he goes to Celtic then hes a shithouse, absolute pub standard

He aint coming back. He earns about 10 grand a week here, that just under 300k a year after tax. If he leaves he will be on triple that at a West Ham, Leeds, Leicester CIty etc. We can't and won't break the bank wages wise for Callum O'Hare.

Both Rangers and Celtic are far bigger than any club at our level and he'll get to play in Europe.
Standard is woeful generally though.

It could be a good move to put himself in the shop window if no Prem interest materialises.
I’m over it to be honest, if he doesn’t re-sign, there’s an opportunity to get another player in. Someone like Rudoni will probably be a better player than COH is when he’s 26.

Nah. At 25 it shouldn’t be about shop windows. If he leaves us for Celtic his agent needs sacking. Might get him more £££ but footballing standard and pedigree is a shambles.
Celtic and rangers in recent times are rubbish in Europe (apart from the year rangers won it) and then it’s back to the pub league. Massive clubs but that’s all it is.

Agree with that in terms of football terms. But a significant increase in your wage doesn’t indicate that. Don’t know why anyone really cares where he goes to be honest. Once it was clear it wasn’t going to be here I’d lost interest

The SPL has been a good shop window for lots of top players, but given he already plays in England and is already mid 20s I don't think it really applies in his situation.

I agree, though would be a bit disappointed if he stayed in the championship

I'd be very surprised if he chooses to go to celtic. This is his big move at the prime of his career. As great a club Celtic is and guaranteed to win silverware, he would be playing on easy mode against mediocre opposition every week.
From the excitement of the championship, how fulfilling really would be playing in front of 4K at Livingston or at Johnston be?
This would have been a great move for him 5 years ago, but at this stage of his career this is surely a 2nd or 3rd preference for him.

Fair enough, he can do what he wants. Personally, I don’t think he’s getting guaranteed football at any Prem or even top Championship teams (relegated teams + Southampton, Leeds or even Norwich).
We’ll see where he ends up and if he does a dramatic U-turn it’s also a sign his offers aren’t all that.
Good luck Cal.

Id argue Sporting, Benfica and Porto are at a much higher level than Celtic Rangers and Aberdeen

If Vik had gone to Celtic not Sporting there would be no way teams would be quoted £85m for him this summer.
he would have gone for £30m max.

more in reference to the league standard
Portuguese league no different to Scottish. some grounds hold as little as 3,000
Saddlebrains

Agreed. The portugese league is a much better standard of football than Scotland without a shadow of a doubt

The Portuguese league is much better than the Scottish league. I know what you mean about the bottom end of it being terrible, difference is in Scotland the whole league is terrible.

agree but league standard not much different. some really poor teams in the Portuguese league and that’s why Vik could potentially stay another year at sporting

there is but some league 2 standard grounds aswell

He’s done enough to earn a transfer already. No point staying an extra season.

he might not want to. that’s why he chose sporting over the prem in the first place. he wanted to become sweden no 1 striker and he wouldn’t have done that being squad player.
we are all wishing he leaves but he may want another season at sporting in the champions league

Smart guy choosing a large-ish European club over a mediocre Premier League team. Who was looking at him? The likes of Everton and Wolves? I'd fuck off to Lisbon too. Now he's in the shop window of the really big English (and other European) teams. A shop window that Scottish football sure as shit wouldn't put you in either.

think we all agree Vik all round better player than ohare. hence why Celtic would suit ohare. Europe football, close to home and playing in a 60,000 ground
Hence why ohare choosing Celtic is similar to Vik going Portugal. very similar aspects
TomRad85
Well-Known Member
I don't think it's similar. For Vik it's a stepping stone, for Cal this move will be where he spends the best years of his career.

Ohare isn’t good enough for a top prem team. he could be used as a squad player for mid to low prem team. Celtic play in Europe, he would be a regular and on more money than here.
same as Cantwell at Rangers
TomRad85
Well-Known Member
Well I agree with you there. It's up to him whether he backs himself to be more than a squad player though isn't it... if he chooses Celtic he's admitting he doesn't.

I think there’s a fair amount of hindsight when it comes to evaluating Vik’s career path. He’s done brilliantly, but there’s nothing to say he wouldn’t have commanded just as much attention if he’d gone to a midtable PL team either.
I look at someone like Ndiaye who’s gone a similar route to Vik and his stock has plummeted, for example.

But I'm saying Sporting is a preferable move just generally to playing for some wanky mid table Prem club. I hate this thinking that everything is about the Prem... some clowns would have you believe Sporting to Brentford would be an upgrade.
Just for the record, the Scottish league has got so bad this no longer applies to them.

Maybe in terms of salary it would be! But generally I agree with you.
