It's part of the games that goes on within a transfer window winter.
I would value JJ far higher than 15M but like I said if that's within his contract? Then possibly a new one would need to be negotiated to increase that value, which in turn brings higher wage demands also or do what the scum do and invent a bidding war.
As a club we don't entertain that bullshit, and hence clubs are more willing to deal with ourselves properly.
We also have a manager, I believe wouldn't let any hype around his players effect his team in any way imo, hence having 2 very decent players in every position as we are currently.
If players wish to move on to better fortunes than as a club nothing we can do about it, especially within the market we have to operate in, again part of football.
The huge difference since the arrival of Ange is putting in place for a player is one who actually wants to be with our club and seen nothing yet to suggest otherwise either at present.
Comfortable enough at present surrounding any potential hype regarding our players as they seem to remain happy and professional, whereas over within the shit hole they still want out ASAP and couldn't blame them and being reflected in the shite performances served up by the scum, let that happy trend continue as far as I'm concerned at present
Not sure how accurate these wages lists are , though bridie bhoy told me hoopy said they're quite accurate so
( whit? I kidding I'm kidding)
Celtic's total wage bill per year is £22,119,240 and £425,370 per week | Search the most comprehensive salary and contract database.

Above site has JJ on £16k per week ( I wouldnt even get oot ma bed for that)
That's quite a sum but nothing compared to calmacs 30k per week.
Renegotiating a deal that sees him get around £25k ( we can afford it) would make sense, I agree with you there.
Though we shouldnt and wouldnt let others interest in our players dictate our wage structure.
I'd be surprised if the figures are accurate, calmacs might be but jota on 7k per week seems to me to be nonsense but never know.
If we're to start renegotiating players deals then that would cause problems as all of the players would want the same.
Celtic are operating in a different market now.
Not too long ago ( Deila era even) a £4 million signing was big money for us, now it seems inevitable that we will be the first club to break the £10 million barrier ( legally) to bring a player to Scotland.
Being a champions league participant has huge benefits across the spectrum that's all things Celtic.
From exposure to cash to UNLIMITED POWER !!
Ok the last bit I made up , I was watching revenge of the Sith last night
Aye with you on letting the hype come from elsewhere, we know that Atleti will be buying El Buffalo for £50 million so, unlikely to come in and buy our world class defender.
Which he is ( dont care what anyone says) if you're a starter in that Croatia side with modric and co then weve unearthed another emerald.
