Sky Sports has reported (as well as Agudelo retweeting it) that Celtic are closing in on signing Juan. I actually like this deal for him.

Hopefully if he does move he has to establish himself quickly. I would prefer a move to the EPL though the Scottish league is just dreadful.

Celtic is better than Chivaas, but man the SPL is awful. But he is young, and if he performs well he can make a jump to a better league in a few years.

If he performs well the European exposure he gets will be great. Hope this turns out to be a good move for him.

It's generally not smart to make a move because of "exposure"
It's about playing time and playing well. If you're good, you'll get noticed.
Celtic are good but the SPL is crap and none of the games they player are urgent because they are guaranteed to win the league. A few CL games a year doesn't offset this crappy competition.
Celtic are on a miracle run right now and it is extremely unlikely that they will have these kind of games ever again.
If I were him, I'd wait for the summer to see what shakes out.

Neil Lennon said he expects to hear this weekend on the Agedelo move. Last I saw Chivas was not taking the offer seriously.

Good to hear. Hope Chivas accepts it and gets this move wrapped up.
Heard Tottenham are keen on getting Gary Hooper maybe well see Agudelo play.

Chivas manager said Celtic's offer was laughable and hinted that it would be more probable to see Juan move in 6 months.

I see some reports saying Norwich have bid again for Hooper, so maybe Juan ends up at Celtic

I think we are most likely to see him move in the summer.
