Celtic must cut losses and get rid of Barkas NOW says Baines as he selects ready-made Premiership replacement Vasilis Barkas arrived at Celtic Park with a huge price tag around his neck. The Greek international cost the Hoops a pretty penny but has failed miserably so far in justifying anywhere near the £5million the club spent. For other clubs around the UK, a measly £5million is just a drop in the ocean. Cash that could be spent on a benchwarmer or a young, promising kid from the lower leagues. Celtic have never had that luxury, however, and Barkas was one of the big-money summer buys the club desperately needed to come good as they hunted 10 in a row.
