Edouard pushed out Celtic transfer record

911
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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’m sorry but I can’t find your text, you know I got a new Samsung phone and it’s a tad to complicated for an old man of 79, had it six months and still can’t use it.

    During the tour we were standing outside the Sinn Fein headquarters – a young fella stopped and unlocked the door of the place, before he went inside, our tour guide shouted his name – “tell these ins where yer from.” – The chap replied in a Glasgow accent – “God’s country, the east end of Glesga.”

     

     

    Rock bar Sunday, the wee barmaid bringing over the drinks, got talking to CCB – She worked in the Brazen Head and knows Tony Donnelly, said he is a shark pool player.
