Mouyokolo and the Perrier-Doumbe path to immortality

768

Steven Mouyokolo’s last two permanent contracts were for clubs playing Premier League football in England but after joining Hull City as a 22-year-old and making 21 appearances in their relegation season, his move to Wolves bombed amid a multitude of injuries.  The player has made four appearances for Wolves and four for Sochaux in the last three years.

He no longer has the profile which would be considered in the English Premier League; which is why he’s pitched up in Scotland.  If his knee passes a medical this week, he’ll become the latest 6’3” defender on the Celtic books, competition for Kelvin, Virgil, Charlie, Efe and the rest.

Competition is good but Steven’s chances of edging out the competition to become a first team regular must be considered slight with his injury record, whether he passes the medical or not.  It’s more likely he’ll follow the path of Jean-Joel Perrier-Doumbe, although Champions League football and a Cup Final winner is not a bad return.

    I lived in the good ole U.S of A between 71 and 75 [ 3 years in Frisco / 1 year in Boston / New York ].

     

     

    I returned to Blighty in the summer of 75 . It seemed to be a very grey /depressed place .but there were a lot of good things bubbling under the surface . I had a good time

    That’s an interesting concept – Footballer Bevvies

     

     

    Vino Pirlo, relaxed, colourful, cheeky even, uplifting, leaving a pleasant after glow.

     

     

    A Moravcik must be a celebration drink, a fizzer that gets you off your feet and induces impromptu laughter.

     

     

    A George Connelly on the other hand, well balanced, elegant, moreish, that suddenly blindsides you leaving you totally bewildered.

     

     

    Zidane – a top shelfer, sat beside the Absinthe. One shot. Wham. Bam. Goodnight.

     

     

    Alan Hanson – looks great, does nothing for you.

     

     

    A Strachan – like the Rusty Nail, a wee gingery nip.

    Edinson Cavani .

     

     

    Italian media are continuing to claim he’s going to PSG but are admitting it hasn’t happened yet .

     

     

    Same chaps are claiming that Chelsea , having failed to get Cavani , will now go ” all out ” to sign Robert Lewandowski .

    Gordon J- really surprised no bigger teams in for Vic,i think some of the EPL teams back training next week so might see some others interested.Some teams might have asked Celtic to keep them informed if a deal agreed with another club.Would love him to stay but it’s not going to happen.

  6. Chuckie’s Back…… From The Sun

     

     

    CHARLES Green has sensationally waded back into the Rangers boardroom battle to demand a major shake-up.

     

    The ousted chief executive — still the biggest shareholder at Ibrox — is calling for urgent changes amid fears of a looming cash crisis at the club.

     

    Green has lodged a legal letter saying ex-chairman Malcolm Murray — described by insiders as his “nemesis” — must be axed as a director.

     

    He also wants Murray’s ally Phil Cartmell ditched — and for bus tycoon James Easdale to finally join the board after months of wrangling.

     

    Sources close to Green claim he’s even considering returning to run the club in a day-to-day role if changes aren’t made.

     

    His demands came in a formal request for an emergency general meeting of shareholders, which the club was examining yesterday.

     

    An insider said: “Charles and other investors are unhappy with how the club is being run — especially the influence Malcolm has.

     

    “There are worries that cash raised in the stock market float last year is being rapidly eaten into. Costs must be cut and revenues raised or Rangers are in trouble.

     

    “But all we see is players being signed and season ticket prices being frozen.”

     

    The move comes weeks after a separate group of investors loyal to Green made similar demands for a crisis meeting.

     

    Green, 60, fronted the consortium which took over Rangers last year but quit as chief exec in April amid claims of links to shamed ex-owner Craig Whyte.

     

    Rangers would not comment last night. Green could not be reached.

    Good idea . It would be fun to do it in reverse -fit a footballer to these —–

     

     

    Kestrel / Newcastle Brown / Fowler’s Wee Heavy and Eldorado .

     

     

    Saw Pirlo talking about the England /Italy Euro Under 21 2013 game .. One of the many valid points he made was that fueling yourself on 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps didn’t really work .

    Very surprised meself, would be gutted we lost him to clubs of that stature no matter what they spend.

     

     

    I still think lpool,arsenal might step in.

     

     

    Dunno if that means we will get bigger transfer.

    Broony: A refreshing lager which is deceivingly strong and leaves the consumer with a vacant glare after one too many.

     

     

    Dalglish: A heavy but enjoyable beer which tends to result in flushed cheeks after a couple of pints.

     

     

    McGarvey: A surprise cocktail which splits opinion and should always been consumed in moderation as it usually has a staggering effect.

    Looks to me like Green is making sure that he won’t get the blame for LIQUIDATION 2.

    A coupla snakebites might be your salvation if last night is anything to go by!

     

     

    Really felt for you,mate-the pain must have been bad to put up wi our irreverent nonsense….

     

     

    I hope it all improves for you really soon.

  13. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Proudbhoy-cannot see the fee being increased if agreed with another club,far too cheap and can only guess it was a clause in his contract.

  14. Morning all. Bit overcast still down here. Looks to be improving. Hope so, as I’ve a waddin’ to attend this afternoon.

     

     

    Hope Milliband wins. Labour will have no hope of victory in any General Election if they are perceived to be run by the Unions. Any other socialist party have been less chance.

    The half empty tin of flat, stale Kestrel , doing service as a make do ash tray, would be any one of numerous Sevconians.

    Ah,happy days of student living….

  17. Right Bhoys off to Sammiland shortly. Not sure if I will get on CQN for a week, pretty sure I will have withdrawl symptoms. Would appreciate a wee txt if any news appears about the Hoops when I am away from any the Bhoys that have my number.

     

    Thank you in advance.

  18. Footballer bevvies?

     

     

    A ‘Greig’: a course, rough, crude beverage which leaves a very bitter and sour taste on the palette. To be avoided at all costs.

     

     

    Very popular in certain areas of Govan.

  22. victor is a class player, if he leaves for a lesser light, it will only be a matter of time before he’s sold to a big club in a big league. truth be told its not our concern so long as our value is matched. if victor goes we get a lot of money, if he stays we get another six months to a year from him.

     

     

    once any player reaches the last year of his contract its a case of getting an extension signed or selling to the highest bidder.

     

     

    when you consider the initial outlay and wages spent on the young players we sign no one can say we have not reaped the benefits transfer fee or not. so its a win win situation so long as the team preform

  23. West Ham and Cardiff City are both in the hunt to sign 31-year-old forward Javier Saviola, who is available on a free transfer after his contract at Malaga expired.

     

     

    Would Saviola be interested in a move further north?

     

    Could he be our number 10? The playmaker we have been hoping for?

  25. Mouyokolo has more going for him than Rogne………why else would we let one go and sign the other?

     

    If his knee holds good he may yet fulfil the promise and we could have a serious CB for free.

     

     

    We have the formula in place and may yet assemble a squad to propel us beyond the the CL last 16.

     

     

    I still believe John Kennedy would have become the most influential CB we had since Billy McNeil. Only Paul Elliot has been of the same calibre since then.
