Time to 'cash in' on Kuhn - or 'crazy to sell' him?

Time to 'cash in' on Kuhn - or 'crazy to sell' him?

BBC News5 days ago

We asked for your views on how Celtic should address Nicolas Kuhn's future amid reports linking the winger with a big-money move away from Parkhead.Here's what some of you said:Mikey: I wouldn't be selling Kuhn for £15m. If the player wants to move on, let him go if he isn't happy at Celtic. But the fee needs to beat the last club record, £25m-plus. If we want to progress into the Champions League again, we need to be retaining our best players to get past the play-off.Anon: We've had half a season from him over one-and-a-half seasons. He can be fairly predictable and quiet in bigger games, and it seems he doesn't want to be here. With a replacement lined up, cash in.Robert: Recently it feels like his head is elsewhere. He can be such a good player, but to my mind he doesn't look very happy, maybe it's time for him to move on.Tony: Would be happy to cash in on Kuhn. He's been too inconsistent and the money being talked about is above what he's worth, compared to the consistent output of someone like Matt O'Riley. Great first half of the season, disappeared after January rumours of a move and saw some flashes towards the end of the season, but the cup final performance epitomised the frustration with him.Steven: He had a strong first half of the season and one man-of-the-match performance against Leipzig. The second half of the season he struggled to maintain his form. I would cash in, as around £10m profit on Kuhn will be a wise move and can be reinvested elsewhere. The next Daizen Maeda perhaps?Peter: Alongside Reo Hatate he is our only creative player, plus he scores as many as our forwards. Would be a huge step backwards to sell him. Lots of others we could do without, but not Kuhn.Matt: Celtic would be crazy to part ways with Kuhn. He's an electric player who has been a true workhorse. His best days are ahead of him.

John Brown's belly rumbling is small beer, writes Gary Keown, it's officials who can't tell when the ball's over the line that we really need to talk about

John Brown made a Horlicks of it. Let's be honest. No one in their right mind can possibly be happy with the overall standard of officiating in this country, but, when you're doing the commentary on a club TV station, you're on a hiding to nothing when you brand a decision 'corrupt'. No matter how unfathomable it may be. He landed Rangers a three-grand fine under the SFAs disciplinary code. The Ibrox outfit, as is their right, have insisted that every comment made on official club media outlets will now have to be scrutinised intently. Of course, it's going to turn next season into a demented cavalcade of whataboutery and tit-for-tat skirmishing, but what's new?

Jack Draper put it best. His view was offered in response to something Katie Boulter disclosed earlier this week, when she took the admirable step of sharing the filth that gets sent to her social media accounts. By now, we are well aware of the toxic messaging that regularly finds its way to an athlete's inbox — abusive, threatening, often from a faceless minority of low-lives who follow a bad bet with worse judgments on whom to blame.

EXCLUSIVE Prince Harry 'will extend olive branch to King Charles and Prince William by inviting them to the next Invictus Games' - but finale is set to clash with Queen's 80th birthday

The Duke of Sussex is to extend an olive branch to the Royal Family by inviting them to the 2027 Invictus Games, the Mail on Sunday can reveal. In the strongest indication yet that Prince Harry is keen for a reconciliation with the King and other senior Royals, it is understood that an emailed invitation will be sent out later this month, followed by a formal invitation. Sources said the timing of the invitation was designed to give the family the best possible chance of attending, given that Charles is known to draw up his schedule up to three years in advance. But the extraordinary move, which could see Harry pictured with the Royal Family for the first time since the late Queen's funeral, has raised eyebrows among some commentators. Ingrid Seward said: 'The King might attend to show support for the Armed Forces and congratulate Harry on the most significant success in his life. 'The only reason the King is wary of associating with his son is that he no longer trusts him not to repeat their private conversations as he has done in the past. This goes for all the working members of the family.' Fellow royal commentator Katie Nicholl added: 'The King absolutely wants a relationship with his youngest son and with his grandchildren. He has an incredible capacity for forgiveness and he wants to be magnanimous in all of this and therefore there's certainly a possibility that the King might consider attending Invictus.' Despite the Royals' previously strong support for Invictus, the invitation – should anyone choose to accept it – is likely to cause some headaches for Royal aides as it involves a major scheduling conflict. The Games are set to open at Birmingham's NEC on July 12, 2027, and will conclude on July 17 – the day Queen Camilla turns 80 – for which there are likely to already be some celebrations planned. It also remains to be seen whether the Duke would risk bringing Meghan and their children Archie, six, and four-year-old Lilibet, to the UK for the event, having previously insisted he could not do so unless the family were offered 'full police protection'. 'Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family,' a source told The Mail on Sunday. 'Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans. 'The Royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated.' Harry, 40, made it clear in a BBC interview last month that he would welcome a rapprochement with his father and with the wider family, despite acknowledging the hurt caused by his brutally honest memoir, Spare. 'There's no point in continuing to fight any more,' he said. 'Life is precious.' And he added: 'Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.' The Invictus invitations are thought to represent the first time Harry has publicly reached out in a bid to gather his family together. The invitees and the wording of the invitations are said to have been approved by Harry, with the emails being sent to private secretaries at the Palace. The Games are expected to bring significant economic and social benefit to Birmingham. A spokesman for Invictus said: 'No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages.'
