O’Connell, early Eboue confirmation expected

198
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Our central defence partnership has settled on Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko, you would be hard pushed to choose between them. Kolo Toure, who performed so well early in the season, has been relegated to third choice, while Mikael Lustig can move into the middle if required.

Efe Ambrose will draw his Celtic experience to an end this year, possibly without playing for the club again, while Dedryck Boyata must be desperate to leave Glasgow. Injury prevented the Belgian from attending the European Championships but his international prospects will be non-existent unless he plays regular football.

If Eoghan O’Connell is looking at his first team prospects he might consider himself potentially third choice for next season, but the 21-year-old hasn’t had a sniff of domestic football since August. A substitute cameo performance at the Camp Nou may already be wiped from the player’s memory.

O’Connell is a player I think ha a genuine chance of making the breakthrough. If he was at Dinamo Zagreb right now, we’d probably sign him, but he needs football. Kilmarnock wouldn’t be my first choice destination for him, I’d rather he was tested at a higher level, and frankly, anywhere else but Kilmarnock, but four months in Ayrshire would give him a platform for next season’s qualifiers.

Kouassi Eboue’s agent told the Russian media over the weekend that the player’s work permit could be through as early as today. Spending two weeks with your new team-mates, before a game against lower league opposition, is as near ideal conditions to join a club as Kouassi could hope for.

    Eden Kane is the stage name of Richard Graham Sarstedt (born 29 March 1940).[1][note 1] Born in India, he is a British pop singer. He has also recorded under his birth name and with his backing group the Downbeats. He is the older brother of musicians Peter Sarstedt and Clive Sarstedt, whom he has collaborated with on numerous Sarstedt Brothers albums. He had success in the early 1960s as a pop star appealing to a teenage audience with hits including “Well I Ask You” which was a UK No.1 hit in 1961, before moving to the United States, where he began an acting career.

    You talk like Marlene Dietrich

     

    And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire

     

    Your clothes are all made by Balmain

     

    And there`s diamonds and pearls in your hair

     

    You live in a fancy appartement

     

    Of the Boulevard of St. Michel

     

    Where you keep your Rolling Stones records

     

    And a friend of Sacha Distel

     

    But where do you go to my lovely

     

    When you’re alone in your bed

     

    Tell me the thoughts that surround you

     

    I want to look inside your head

     

    I’ve seen all your qualifications

     

    You got from the Sorbonne

     

    And the painting you stole from Picasso

     

    Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

     

    When you go on your summer vacation

     

    You go to Juan-les-Pines

     

    With your carefully designed topless swimsuit

     

    You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs

     

    When the snow falls you’re found in St. Moritz

     

    With the others of the jet-set

     

    And you sip your Napoleon Brandy

     

    But you never get your lips wet

     

    But where do you go to my lovely

     

    When you’re alone in your bed

     

    Tell me the thoughts that surround you

     

    I want to look inside your head, yes I do

     

    Your name is heard in high places

     

    You know the Aga Khan

     

    He sent you a racehorse for chistmas

     

    And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh haha

     

    They say that when you get married

     

    It’ll be to a millionaire

     

    But they don’t realize where you came from

     

    And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn

     

    But where do you go to my lovely

     

    When you’re alone in your bed

     

    Tell me the thoughts that surround you

     

    I want to look inside your head

     

    I remember the back streets of Naples

     

    Two children begging in rags

     

    Both touched with a burning ambition

     

    To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try

     

    So look into my face Marie-Claire

     

    And remember just who you are

     

    Then go and forget me forever

     

    `Cause I know you still bear

     

    the scar, deep inside, yes you do

     

    I know where you go to my lovely

     

    When you’re alone in your bed

     

    I know the thoughts that surround you

     

    `Cause I can look inside your head

    Dying to tune into radio wide as the Clyde just to hear derek 30stone pish himself with excitement at the prospect of Sevco signing loans that probably have wage paid by parent club coz Sevco canny rub two pennies together. Fat c**t I despise the ground he thunders upon

  11. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Thanks for the birthday wishes Celtic men and wummin, much appreciated. The size 22 asked me what I wanted and I said I’d like a treble.

  12. THE EXILED TIM on

    The huns are really in desperado mode, bringing in loans for a couple of months, they may well be getting them for free, but the parent clubs will NOT be paying for their accomodation.

     

    They are obviously sure they will get a euro licence else why bother with the wonderkids

  13. succulentlambstinks on

    And how on gods earth can they get a Euro licence ? Debt ridden, crumbling roof, impending court cases, no credit allowed anywhere . They canny even prove Theyl be alive this summer. So if they got a licence then it’s game over, games a bogey, gies ma baw back I’m gone hame.

    Brendan Rodgers believes that Kouassi Eboue can come straight into the first-team as his squad train in Dubai over the winter break.

     

     

    As quoted by The National, Rodgers spoke out on the impending arrival of Kouassi Eboue for a reported £2.8m and how the youngster will be straight into the first-team squad to fight for his place.

     

     

    ‘It’s not complete yet, but hopefully will be very soon. Eboue can come into the team now, he’ll just need a little bit of time to adapt. But I look at him at 19 as one who will come straight into the first-team squad and who will come in and show he has the qualities to play.

     

     

    Firstly, he plays with intensity, he’s aggressive, he presses the game well, has a good tactical understanding for a young player and he’s technically very strong. And he’s got big potential to improve.”

    Killie are imposters and signing Newcastle kids proves this.

     

    A real team would only sign wonderkids like the sevco do.

     

    Sevco have signed many a wonderkid over the years who have proved that the mssm are totally accurate with their assessments of these players who are now plying their trade in best teams in the world.

     

    Fleck and McLeod to name but two.

    Fanatic

     

     

    Wonder kids and Accrington Galacticos

     

     

    We remain in a Celtic supremacy hiatus or a ‘slump’ indeterminable in duration.

     

     

    SMSM either understand that there is nothing GLIB can do, or they are still backing him even though he’s internally out voted on the Sevco issues that persist. i.e. no money

     

     

    I think they are so stupid they are backing him, in the same way they did helping the original Rangers to die.

     

     

    This is the biggest Celtic G.O.D of all time.

  32. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Aww Shucks…………

     

    ……. ah pure wish we could get some pash wonderkids that no-one has heard of on six month loan deals.

     

     

    Go shadenfreud go. Hahahahahahahahaha haha ha
