Giakoumakis and the supporting cast

185

Giorgos Giakoumakis spectacular header to give Greece a late lead against Kosovo last night showed to an international audience what we have seen since his return from injury earlier this year.  Giorgos is a talent and his acquisition from VVV Venlo for around £2.5m was spectacularly good business.

His solitary year in the Netherlands saw him finish top goal scorer in a season VVV were relegated.  Celtic picked him up so cheaply as his career stalled after signing for AEK in 2017.  He scored only once for the Athens club and saw two loan moves fail to spark his career.

At 27, Giorgos is not going to attract a lucrative offer from England.  He is a player we should be able to rely on for the foreseeable future.  When Kyogo is fit, Giorgos will struggle to make the starting line-up, but having a supporting cast of players with a point to prove is a big part of winning.

    2 Brits defeated and surprisingly the wildcard one got through upsetting the number one American.

     

     

    Looks exciting at the cricket. I was sure it would be a dead couple of days and only just caught up with it.

     

     

    The stuff we have to do to get through the weeks of non Celtic …. At least the league fixtures are out on Friday.

    We have an Aussie manager.

     

     

    As for me personally, I cheer on Australia because I am an Australian Citizen with an Australian passport.

     

     

    That apart, we are football fans watching an exciting end to a WC play-off. What’s the problem?

  4. I was hoping for us fixing up the lad bellis but it looks like he is s Burnley bound . This lad looked just what we were looking for ,big , athletic , aggressive , good in the air . I hope someone better is being sought as we need a big aggressive centre back .

  6. No problem with me.I like Kangaroos,Koalas,and hats with corks hanging from them.

     

    Only problem is,unless any Celtic players are involved,I couldn’t give a toss about their football team.
