Celtic have activated a clause in their loan deal for Odsonne Edouard (20) with Paris Saint-Germain to sign the player on a four-year permanent contract. The deal will cost the club an initial £4.5m but the add-ons which follow will soon make the deal the club’s highest transfer fee paid.
To give some perspective, Celtic last broke their transfer fee record with the £6m purchase of Neil Lennon in 2000.
Watching Odsonne develop during his loan period has been an education. Brendan Rodgers put Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths on the bench to allow Odsonne the game time he needed to grow. His early-season rustiness was history by March, when he came off the bench when Celtic were down to 10 men at Ibrox, brushed aside what defences there was, to score a memorable winner.
The last player to match our record transfer fee was John Hartson in 2001. Like John then, Odsonne is third choice striker, so the work does not stop here.
Great business, well done all concerned.

I see that johnjamessite is now pay per view. Hey ho, no more hits from me then.
Can anyone tell me onwhich page is the post with the lyrics for the ` Just Like Eddie` song?
JJ
Incidentally, the back page of the Record had Eddie at £10 million. So, we know for sure that the only figure that we definitely did NOT pay for Eddie was £10 million !
This guy went to Glasgow Art School and thank God he did, Art for everyone ya bass!
I never tire of looking at Oscar’s Glasgow.

Both Paul67 here and Barcabhoy (late of this parish), each of whom pretty well connected, have been clear that the initial fee is £4.5M, (same as Ntcham) with assorted add-ons that may take the total fee to £9M over period time.

Thanks.
Now find me the Eddie Lyrics!

PS Have we had a player named Eddie since , say, 1960?
PPS I know the name of our latest acquisition is not really Eddie !
Great news about Odsonne.
Good luck to big Tom!

Devastating news on the art school………..big questions to answer regarding fire precautions/security etc

Unbelievable that this has happened again. Surely there should have been measures in place to ensure it didn’t happen again. What’s to stop it happening again in another 4 years and £40M?! Have a bloody personal fireman 24/7 on each floor!!
On a lighter note, last night’s game was amazing. I can’t believe Spain never took three points. They were amazing, with an incredible passing accuracy. Iniesta is still a brilliant player. Ronaldo hardly on the ball, yet scored three. Looking forward to big Tom having a good game against France.
Really quality looking French team. Although the defence might not be their strongest.
Henderson and jenko going for decent fee’s more than likely means the celtic will be picking up a few more pounds given our policy to insert the old sell-on cluases in player contracts.
I would also bet we get a wee financial bonus from johnson’s promotion to the premier league to add to the vvd money.

If the Eddie lyrics are not here on my return I will conclude that I have lost my pulling power..
Cheerio for now.

Hello again all you young rebels.
Melbourne and the peninsula covered in green and yellow.
Big handsome Tom the wizard of Oz is ready to show the world
what a talent he is.
Atmosphere here is amazing loads of hoops about and Celtic
getting mentioned in all the news outlets.
Hope they do us proud but it’s a big ask against maybe the worlds
top team.
Aussie.. Aussie ..Aussie ..oi ..oi.. oi.
Oh! and our old Celtic away top with the green stripes on yellow is
going down a bomb, if only we had a wee shoppe in Melbourne.

Thanks buddy.
Paddy said Pollok were better team but that Cumbernauld just didn’t get the breaks that a lower league team needs. 2 of the best players injured by half time. Paddy himself played the whole second half with an Achilles injury, he couldn’t run at full pace. Cumbernauld ended up so short of numbers because of suspensions, injuries and holidays that ass coach John Paul McBride had to come on a sub. He missed a one on one at 2.1,but as I say Pollok could point to chances they missed too.
Dreadful about iconic art building. It’s Mackintosh’s masterpiece, a huge part of Glasgow.

Very interesting article from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Web site on our very own Wizard of Oz. It has a World Cup focus, as you would expect; more interesting, though, is the way they have used video within the article to highlight aspects of the storyline.
…And they show the Invincible Treble-Winning goal.
Enjoy:

Well worth a re-post!

Dallas.
Forgot to say, I was at your place yesterday, met up with Melly and Chalkie.
Paddy introduced himself to Tony after the final and told him he was my bhoy.
Thankfully, Tony said lots of kind things. Knowing his sense of humour, I had this fear that Tony would say who????
Hail Hail
the aussie goalkeeper is going to be knackered.
Happy Bloomsday
Has Tom touched the ball yet
‘Celtic are describing it as the “biggest transfer” in their history’

Watching the Aussies pass the ball around the back and get comfortable in the game. Cannot understand why France would not press them high and force them to kick it long. French strikers look very lazy to me.
This referee being conned every time by these collapsing Frogs.
Any brums on ? Me and little jackiemac are off to look at birmingham uni and are looking fior a good curry house city centreish to get a ‘taste of the city’.
next weekend that is
Tom Rogic 500 to 1……………. top scorer
Turkeybhoy, dead right on the referee, being conned all over the pitch. TR needs to work a bit harder, seems to be floating in and out of the game. HH
Close call between Mark Lawrenson and a band of vuvuzelas.
I think the vuvuzelas just edge it in being informative and entertaining.

Who would win a fight between Mark Lawrenson, Danny Murphy and football fans everywhere.
Would take either of these two Aussie centre backs.
Just noticed there is a restaurant chain named after Big Packy’s dugs…
This song reminds me of Lisbon and CR7’s boozer on Invincible treble day last year.
For Kikinthenakas Tom Rogic and CR7.

Sainsbury has been really impressive. Big Tam has been quiet but hasn’t had much of the ball. If it stays 0-0 going into the last period of the match, stage would be set for Cahill to join the club of four…
HH
The boy Sainsbury plays in Switzerland I think, seen his name in the paper a few months back..
Starry
Think he plays for Hertha Berlin

Scrub that, that’s Leckie I’m thinking of
