24 hours after a lightweight-looking Celtic were dumped out of the League Cup, Colin Kazim-Richards (29) joined the club on a 2.5 year deal from Feyenoord. Kazim-Richards is a centre forward who can also play in the wide-striker positions. No one will call him light-weight, not to his face anyway
The player left Feyenoord under a considerable cloud, after being suspended for the last two weeks of January for threatening a journalist, not his first encounter with controversy.
After spending 2006-07 in the English Premier League with Sheffield United, Kazim-Richards moved to Turkey, where he has spent most of the intervening years, playing for Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Bursaspor. Feyenoord picked him up 18 months ago and he delivered 12 goals in 26 league starts but he’s been used sparingly this season.
What’s he going to give us? Well, we can expect a more combative style when he’s on the field, which is perhaps what Ronny Deila is looking for. No more being pushed around. For Colin, it’s an opportunity to get his career back on track after a what, from the outside, looks like a series of mistakes.

Will drop you a text early next week mate.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Away tae ma bed!
TBJ – i agree with your principles – not sure most pro footballers (Mo J comes to mind) though, give a monkey’s who pays them a crapload.
Each to their own as you say.
Different world to normal folk – when anyone gets paid more in a week than I earn in a year I have to ask why – having a short career is no excuse as they chose to do that – I chose something I’ve done for 35 years so far. For a lot less.
TB
Welcome to Celtic
Colin Kazim Richards.
I hope you settle down and are a great player for us.
How many players have John Park & Duda Duhan deals brought to us.
bit of a worry for me.
Lennons passion
Are you saying that derk is the 2nd highest paid player at the club
That’s mad ted
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Bada bing,
Thats 20m of pish, ………..
Still cannae get my head round this.Why is a loan move to Partick Thistle a good thing for Celtic? Nesbitt should be in the team at Aberdeen not footering about at Firhill.Get 4 or 5 out of this team of habitual under achievers and get young Celtic blood in.Nesbitt hands Sevco their dinner today and we are looking to lend him to Partick Thistle.Shocking.
Philbhoy
Reading back,
If there were more like you employed over the city, it would go a long way to improving their moral and ethical standards.
Go for it. Sign.
( any chance of a ticket for the next time we play ye at Ibrox:-)

Just one other thing.
It has been obvious for SO long.
The question……………..
Will there be a change of coach?
At the very least.

A bit more info on Angela Haggerty’s sacking.
It looks like some vindictive thinking took the opportunity to be vindictive.

Worse than that.
Story I heard not long ago was that he was on top wages along with Broon
Pay him off and don’t let the door hit his arse on the way out – he’d only get injured
WITS,
Boerigitter is on 17 grand a week..
We have 38 players in our first team squad, 38 ffs, we have 13 midfielders, and not a proper def mid in the whole 13, we have one striker in the Griff, we have signed a player today who has scored 38 goals in 12 years, we have Carlton Cole, no much to say about him, we have let a decent player in Stokes go.
We need a back up for RB.
We now have 14 middys on the books, Paul McMullen has been recalled from St Mirren.
A total clusterfeck.
TR-agree HH
Boerrigter in fact.
Floodlights still on at Parkhead 9.30
Just seen Miku score 1 and make 1 for Rayo Vallecano. Been saying for years ,we should be getting players from clubs in bottom half of La Liga and Serie A,not everyone is on funny money,and most of the clubs are in debt
p8ddy…
You put in words what myself and most fellow Celtic supporters are saying that I know.
Good post mate. HH

#CelticFC have put in a late bid for Scott Bain from #DundeeFC, trying their hardest to push it through. Huge talent. #DeadlineDay

We should have gotten their coach a couple of years ago, he has kept Rayo in La Liga with no cash, and has had to rebuild the team nearly every season with freebies, he is a top top coach, and they play superb football for what they are.
HH
Boerigtter is a successful highwayman.Whoever is responsible for bringing him to the club needs medical attention. Apropos of that, we need some real Celtic Bhoys in the team instead of these mercenaries that crapped out yesterday, So why we let Nesbitt go out on loan is a mystery to me. He, like KT, plays for the jersey, so we have some serious leadership problems upstairs.Needs to get fixed ASAP.

Got told he was the 2nd highest player at the club.
————–
No way in hell Derk is paid that much, if he was then the guy would be involved in match day squads.
The fact he’s no where near that proves he is on a pay as you play contract
Bada
TET being saying the same.
Bsr.
It’s a little known fact that the floodlight at Celtic park are linked to lawell mansions heateddriveway on switch in the garage.
Give Dundee Craig Gordon in exchange.
Get the deal done.
The worst ever Celtic attacker before he’s kicked a ball has 37 caps for Turkey.

Saint stivs,
Saw ye mention Malky McDonald last night.Brought a wee lump to my throat I have to say.My da,God rest him,knew a player.
Malky he proudly would say the best ever player to don the Hoops.
Played in every position for Celtic bar goalkeeper.
God bless ye st.stivs and God bless all in the Port.

“Final attempt at engaging with Paul.”
Trademark passive aggression.
Not at all. It was a comment on my playing catch up with new threads rather than a barbed aside at Paul67.
I tend to think of myself as more openly aggressive. I’ll argue vociferously. I put that down to my Irish heritage – my family loved to argue like madmen. All the while recognising that we’re all on the same side. Hence why I steer clear of ad hominem insults and name calling. We’re all here for one purpose ultimately, but it isn’t a hippy free for all.

As clear a case as there will ever be of “the lights are on but there’s nobody home”?

I don’t believe you.
No way someone on that wage wouldn’t get near our first team squad. The facts don’t follow here
