Ki’s remarkable transfer to Swansea

625

Best wishes to Ki Sung-Yeng who joined Swansea City today.  The Korean international joined Celtic in January 2010 but the subsequent arrival of central midfielder Beram Kayal, Joe Ledley and Victor Wanyama, curtailed his first-team opportunites.

Ki possesses excellent technique and can cover 50 yards as quickly as anyone at Celtic but he often failed to impose himself on games.  Selling a reserve player with 15 months left on his contract for a fee of around £6m is truly remarkable.  I am one of the players many admirers but I don’t know anyone who would pay anything like that money for him.

We Oscar 4 Life’ have organised a bucket collection for Dundee home game at CP on 22nd of September and require a Lorry Load of Volunteer collectors. To volunteer as a bucket collected please email us at weeoscar4life@gmail.com.

    Right, another attempt. This post is being posted only in the hope that it will take me to the last page of posts.

  2. So Ki’s gone.

     

     

    I did state during the Olympics that if we had any ambitions in Europe we had to keep players like Ki.

     

     

    That said I not too miffed about the transfer, we never got the best from him either in match play or goals from mid-field why I don’t know.*

     

     

    What we do with the well orchestrated windfall after Wednesday will be the real test.

     

     

    *This may sound like a criticism of Lenny it’s not, but we could not get the best from Ki playing in a position where our Manager kept Paul Lambert out of the team.

     

     

    Just an observation like.

  4. Half way up the A9 the fierce shinty rivals Newtomore v Kingussie will be battleing it out this afternoon. Now thats a real mans game.

  5. BSR,

     

     

    Devious, indeed.

     

     

    It must be an eye opening experience for players outwith the local environment, when they experience the forces lined up against us, after they sign on.

     

     

    However, this may a reason why so many of them commit so whole heartedly to the cause.

    Good morning fellow Celts from warm grey Renfrewshire

     

     

    Expecting out bhoys to have a tough game in the getting roughed up sense but don’t understand calls to leave out the youngsters this is exactly the type of game to blood them ( pun intentional) at one time players were farmed out to the juniors to toughen them up! good for Boaby, Kenny et al

     

    Good enough for our lads.

     

     

    The journey time to Inversneck is about 3 hours max in a decent coach with facilities etc. what’s the fuss hawed help us if we played darn sarf or France Spain etc.

     

     

    Send them up In a bus and tell them to fight for 3 points

     

     

    Rest our key players for Wed nights 15m + game

    Thanks. I’ll have to go get my iPod to read it. I can only open the most recent page with my lap-top by posting.

    Good luck to hoopslegend wee Davie Ki. I’m sure the squad needs trimmed but I don’t know if I’d have had Ki in the first cab off the rank.

  9. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Good team, but I thought Mulgrew and Hooper would have been rested…..

  10. Good afternoon friends.

    It doesn’t seem to be working for Internet Explorer. Google Chrome is working for me now. I saw someone Tweet Paul67 last night and he said he’d look into it so hopefully normal service will be resumed.

    Is Sammy injured? Or being rested for next week?

     

     

    Loving his look these days, half expecting him to turn up with the full ZZ Top.
