Celtic transfer news: John Hartson laughs at Liverpool’s proposed 8million bid for James Forrest
Former Celtic striker John Hartson has described Liverpool’s proposed 8million move for James Forrest as laughable.The Reds are reportedly lining up a bid for the 27-year-old this summer, however Hartson believes the amount quoted falls way short of the mark.2

James Forrest is reportedly wanted by Liverpool

Forrest has been at Celtic for 16 years after joining their academy in 2003 and has nearly racked up 200 appearances for the first team.And Hartson claims it will take triple the reported figure to even get Celtic’s attention.“I have to say that I laughed when I saw the figures quoted for James Forrest this weekend,” he wrote in the Evening Times. “8million? That might get you his big toe.“Aside from the fact that the lad himself has signed a long-term deal withCeltic, the club he has been with since primary school, the money quoted for him is laughable.“We are not talking about a pup at 16 or 17. We are talking about a boy who has scored goals at international and Champions League level and who has blossomed into an winger who guarantees double-figure goals.2

John Hartson says Liverpool will need deeper pockets to get James Forrest

“The days of English clubs coming in and getting players for pennies are long gone.“IfLiverpoolor anyone else want him then they will have to have very deep pockets.”
