Glupe

Yes, we paid them to take him!

I heard Bailly was also away too. We will have cut a fair bit off the wage bill with people leaving this Summer.

I heard Scott Brown limped off during the 9-0 win today with his knee heavily strapped I hope it's not a long term injury.

Apparently Olivier Ntcham is undergoing a Celtic medical ahead of a £4m move from Manchester City.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Apparently Ntcham is having a medical now. There was a picture posted of him standing in the centre circle of Parkhead earlier. Just shows you BR comes out with the power and pace statement on a player that he was specifically looking at and the papers link us with every potential youngster from Chelsea, Man City ect just for this to come out of nowhere last night! They don't have a clue! Lad looks decent can play anywhere in midfield and wing if need be. Played majority of games on loan at Genoa who are a decent outfit and has bags of potential.

Believable6 Unbelievable3

{Ed007's Note - The picture going round is Eboue Kouassi and not taken today because the Celtic Park pitch isn't anywhere near looking like the pitch in the picture - the new turf was only laid 2 days ago - I doubt anyone except the contractors would have permission to walk on it incase of any damage while it settles and beds in - Oh and there's no white lines on it yet.

Ntcham

08 Jul 2017 20:29:06
Fair play Ed I've watched a few YouTube videos and like the look of the lad alot! Did think picture was questionable could be anyone but heard from a few folk about the medical and put 2-2 together. I'm hoping it comes off as we are crying out for Rogic backup just due to fitness alone plus the lad can play anywhere in midfield.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - He does look a top talent for his age.}

08 Jul 2017 21:00:09
Has Eboue featured in preseason as yet Ed?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - No, he picked up a knock the day before the squad flew out to Austria and by the time they got to Austria it was causing him pain.}

08 Jul 2017 21:00:19
Ed not doubting you but looks very like the rig out he was wearing on another pic doing the rounds. I'd post it but dunno how.

Agree2 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - The pitch doesn't have any lines on it yet - that picture was 100% not taken today.}

08 Jul 2017 21:26:33
Cheers Ed. Got a similar 'caveman' style hunched over stance that he had in photo of him too. Even went so far as to reassure fans that's not how he moves on the park.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jul 2017 21:47:17
You think this ones a goer then and what do you think about him? As good as Musonda?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - It looks like it, he arrived in Glasgow tonight for talks so we'll see how things go. I really don't know much about him.}

08 Jul 2017 22:28:48
The videos on YouTube usually show all the best bits of players but his shows a few decent passes a few tackles but very little else. Musonda would have been an unreal signing even at his age. Not doubting BR one bit if he thinks he's the right target to help us in champs league then I'm all for it.

But if his YouTube videos are anything to go by this is a seriously underwhelming signing.

Agree1 Disagree2

08 Jul 2017 22:42:55
Is he a playmaker/ no.10? Looks as tho he could be a wanyama type. by his build anyway.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - He can play anywhere in the midfield but people who know more about him than me are saying that Rodgers will play him as a No.10.}

08 Jul 2017 23:05:18
He can do a crackin backflip that's aw that matters. Mind you so could Efe. 🤔🤔🤔.

Pitch was marked out yesterday according to Robin Buchanon Stadium Manager in a reply to me on twitter.

Boab if Celtic are ever going to sign a world class player then there will always be risk involved. always has been the case and always will be as if there was no risk and you have near finished article then some English team would pay some ridiculous money! The market is mental atm! So much so that I heard today that Ruben Neves (young Porto CDM billed for big things) has just signed for Wolves (WOLVES) for 18 million! Wolves! Dembele was a young talent similar to the lad we are discussing and I watched his YouTube videos from Fulham and was not impressed. It was a signing of talent that needed the right place to nurture, build confidence and progress and look were we are now. The lad has been playing for Genoa in top half of Italian table and has (as a young loanee) played 37 games in Serie A. So as far as you're view on him for some youtube clip you watched for 4 mins goes, I'm extremely underwhelmed by your assessment of a player you know sweet FA about.

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Wolves deals are a bad example, Tompo because of Mendes involvement there but I get you drift about Youtube. If video cameras were so popular when I was young I would have looked like a CB with the skill and vision of Cantona and composure/temperament of Paul McStay!}

Ed007. I bet your wife can never pull the wool over your eyes . Your reading of the pitch was superb and was the work of a master . m

Tell me, have the ground staff laid our new future pitch or is it just a holding job this yr and a new one next yr.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - There wasn't enough time to do the full job so the bottom 'layer' bit was done this summer and the final top bit will be completed next year. If you sesrch the site for 'desso' you'll see what the plans are and I'm sure there's a video of how it's installed and works.
My wife has always complimented me on my reading and treatment of the grass on the pitch ;)

09 Jul 2017 01:45:50
Tompo I wouldn't say sweet fa about. I watch Spanish football a lot and musonda was always a stand out no matter who he was up against. This new guy hasn't got a good rep and he isn't a player I've ever heard of. When BR was talking of pace power and pedigree can you honestly say that he's the guy? If it is then I'm not alone in thinking it's underwhelming!

I love what BR has done so far and if this guy is another dembele then I'll say I was wrong but I'm still hoping for a bunny out the hat signing!

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Jul 2017 08:29:07
Balde looked a world class striker what a seen of him on YouTube boab so let's no beat him with that. i watch Spanish football most weeks and misunda is someone ad never heard of so we need to trust the manager he's dobe no bad up to now . remember this time ladt year plenty on jere didn't fancy sinckair and that worked fine bit like hayes that'll work out fine to.

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Jul 2017 19:51:40
That pitch actually looks only laid the lines also are only put on and the lad on the pitch is 100 per cent the to be new signing c'mon ed keep up ain't ya seen a newly laid pitch even during a season lol if that guy isn't the new to be signing then he sure as he'll shops in the same place on the same day.

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly if YouTube was available at the time, Larsson would of probably looked pretty pish n'all before he came to Paradise. I like this potential signing as I really rate Rogic but we need competition for his spot due to fitness alone but Ntcham will need to prove himself to dislodge him.

Not to mention if potential is fulfilled they can even play together in the same midfield! CB (like the look of Duverne even though he looks like staying in France for another year) St Juste was another name mentioned that they are now talking about big bucks yet still no bids.

Or even someone not mentioned yet of that quality. And another winger. Never thought Paddy was an option and still don't as whatever we put in some bottom half English team can easily outbid but still a small part of me that hangs onto BRs statement of letting EPL calm down that gives me the slightest hope, if not a Musonda or someone again not mentioned of that quality and that's our team for a champions league assault.

Agree0 Disagree0
