Edouard pushed out Celtic transfer record

911

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.

    In my opinion she was entirely sane. Egotistical and evil. But sane. To my mind that makes it even worse.

  22. In days gone by, I would take 2 weeks leave just to sit and watch all the games in the first round of the WC finals.

     

    Now…? I am severely turned off by the amount of play acting and cheating.

     

    Why do we endorse the antics of these obscenely overpaid players?

     

    The media has focused on the video review of the penalty incident for France. In my view, use the video review to examine the overall behaviour of the megastars who roll around on the ground as if they have been poll-axed every time there is even a hint of contact.

     

    It utterly destroys my enjoyment of the game.

    Great wee tale.

     

    My youngest boy told me something the other day that blew me away.

     

     

    Wee man- ” you have to be careful what you wish for dad”

     

    Me- “very true pal”

     

    Wee man-” today my teacher told the class we each have 3 wishes and can wish for ANYTHING we want ”

     

    Me- ” you can tell me what you wished for but sometimes it’s better to keep it as a secret for yourself ”

     

    Wee man- ” I want to tell you my wishes ”

     

    Me- ” ok pal”

     

    Wee man- ” first wish- me to be happy and healthy ”

     

    Me- ” good one pal”

     

    Wee man-” second wish- for my family and friends to be happy and healthy ”

     

    Me- ” very good pal”

     

    Wee man- ” third wish- the whole world to be happy and healthy ”

     

    Not afraid to admit a lump had formed in my throat by this stage.

     

    Me- ” awesome wee man , truly awesome wishes you made there ”

    The French fullback was a disgrace and no wonder the Aussie Support booed the Actor.

     

     

    Didier Deschamps has no clue playing that Roaster when there are so many better players.

     

     

    Hernandez is a disgrace to the Fitba profession IMO. Weak and cowardly.
