Josip Juranovic World Cup exploits came to an end at the semi final stage and there are plenty of fans who think his time at Celtic will be doing likewise - but there was the usual bickering about how much the Croatian right back will fetch in the transfer market. And events at Ibrox were also up for discussion.
Michael Emonds, Northampton, said: “A wee word to all the transfer fee experts on the Hotline, no matter how much money Celtic get for Josip Juranovic, I guarantee, they will show a massive percentage profit on the £2.5million they paid for him 18 months ago.” Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton said: “Huge congratulations to Josip Juranovic on playing in a World Cup semi final. However it was a step too far in stopping Argentina and Messi who seems to have six toes instead of five on each foot. I anticipate Celtic will receive a £20m bid shortly and look forward to his replacement Alistair Johnston hitting the ground running.”
But Chris Lowe, Yoker, disagrees: “Juranovic was badly exposed for two of the three Argentina goals and was generally poor throughout the match. In fact it was the type of performance that sees him dropped regularly domestically for Ralston. Basically his World Cup has been forgettable apart from a decent 90 mins against Brazil. £15m? Someone insert the decimal point now as that myth was blown away last night with his showing.”
