It seems that all the usual suspects as on the Bassey Bus as they try to raise the £25m that was lost when Aaron Ramsey bravely stepped up to take a penalty in Seville.
A few minutes after Ryan Kent missed a sitter the final of the Europa League went to penalties with the trophy heading to Frankfurt.
Had Ramsey scored, if Allan McGregor had stopped one penalty it could have been James Tavernier picking up the trophy and the launch of the most unbearable celebrations ever.
Fortunately we’ve only had to endure the Bassey hype with every media no-mark from Kenny Miller and Sky Sports on board with a very clear message.
Failing to learn any of the lessons learned by being unable to shift Alfredo Morelos over nine transfer windows the message is that Bassey won’t be sold for less than the £25m that Celtic picked up for Kieran Tierney three years ago.
Putting a £10m or £12m price tag on Bassey might have tempted a club or two into negotiations but feeding the ego and Celtic obsessions mean that there is unlikely to be a stampeded of clubs looking to sign the former Leicester City reserve.

18 May: Bassey watches Rafael Borre run in front of him, goal side, to shoot past Allan McGregor just 12 minutes after Joe Aribo opened the scoring. Eintracht won on penalties
3 April: Callum McGregor drives into the opposition box as if Bassey doesn’t exist, after cutting the ball back it breaks to Tom Rogic, in isolation as Bassey stands back watching the move develop in front of him. Celtic won 2-1 in the decisive SPFL Premiership match.
29 January: As the ball is knocked around outside his penalty area Bassey takes a fresh air swipe at the ball, Regan Charles-Cook pounces, races in and scores. Ross County earn a draw.
£25m Timmy. https://t.co/ADFUp5xdxW

Laptop loyal boasting about £50m from Europe just a few days ago
Now we’re seeing the usual puppets like Ferguson and ( ffs ) Chris Burke getting wheeled out to hawk their players for outrageous figures and Paul Murray talking about ‘ Smart Sales to catch Celtic ‘
The Europe cash has gone and they’re panicking about the prospect of not making the Champions League again , knowing Celtic are already in there and and can make moves to strengthen
Bombscare Bassey…..
HH
What happened to Europe’s Wonderkid Hagi ?
Fckn couple a games wonder.
I wonder how much they are paying this 25m player eh ?
