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.

  5. surprised we’re signing Steven, but its low risk given he’s free and its a one year deal. even so, I don’t want to see anymore squad player type signing.

     

     

    the victor and hooper transfer stories have disappeared recently, don’t know what to make of it

     

     

    has victor arrived in Germany yet?

    ‘I’ve not spent a penny’ said the bizarrely attired balloon to a question allegedly asked by Scotland’s last newspaperman.

     

    For once the truth is not an unwelcome stranger at the world’s stupidest football club.

     

    Whilst signings have been agreed, none of the talented soccer players who revealed that it was always their dream to play for sevco, have received as much as an empty gingy bottle!

     

    In fact, once the medical information has been examined by a qualified doctor, it may come to light that some if the trialists cannot be allowed to experience a trip on the Wonkabus.

     

    Coincidentally, the ST renewals have been safely gathered in!

    Aboot The Signing Of Mr Mouyokoloko..

     

     

    Given His Injury Record…..

     

     

    And The Paucity Of His Playing Record…

     

     

    Since 2006….

     

     

    By Jings…Old Tim Hiz Probably Spent Mair Time Than Him Oan The Pitch….

     

     

    Over The Same Period…..

     

     

    He Had Only Clocked Up Sixty Appearances….

     

     

    Before He Suffered His Cruciate Injury On Loan At Soscaux ,In 2012….

     

     

    And Since Then….Nothing..

     

     

    A Work In Progress…..At 26y….?

     

     

    So Wolves Spent £2.5M To Sign Him From Hull…..

     

     

    When They Were Still In The Premier League…

     

     

    Mere ‘Chump Change’ For Them….

     

     

    And They Don’t Exactly Have A Good Record When It Comes To Spotting Talent..

     

     

    Hence They Have Plummeted Down Two Divisions…

     

     

    Ah Suppose That One Could Consider Him Well Doon The Pecking List….

     

     

    When It Comes Tae Getting A Regular Berth At CH…..

     

     

    An’ Given His Record,He May Be Content To Play Only When The Need Arises….

     

     

    Rather Than Agitatin’ For A Start….

     

     

    Still….We Seem Tae Waste Money Oan Similar Projects Every Season…..

     

     

    Wi’ Murphy,Ljunberg,Blackman…..And Ibrahim….

     

     

    In An Effort Tae Show Some Activity In The Transfer Market……

  14. nothing better than watching celtic play free flowing football back to front with short sharp passes and angles made by all.

     

     

    I would be happy to see more emphasis placed on it in the first team. of course its a work in progress and takes time and then more time and every player brought in needs to fit with the system/ style.

     

     

    onwards and upwards

    Those are the very boys — commonly known as the open toed Cowboy boots.

     

     

    However — many will observe that these fine pieces of footwear are not cowboy boots at all but are actually Roman footwear of the highest calibre from the days of the Emperor Caracalla who was famous for building baths amongst other things.

     

     

    Caracalla was one of the sons of Septimus Severus — the Roam Emperor who came to Britain and attempted to recapture the Antomine Wall near Bearsden. Oul Septimus caught a common Scottish Cold and feeling very unwell retired to Ebaracum — or York as we know it– and promptly died from said cold.

     

     

    No other Roman Emperor saw fit to set foot in Scotland again for fear of the dreaded disease.

     

     

    Caracalla and his brother Geta succeeded Septimus as joint Emperors, but Caracalla was one of Rome’s monsters and he murdered his brother and all his supporters one night ( some say 12,000 souls died in the purge ) so that he could reign on his own.

     

     

    Alas, these very shoes lead to Caracalla’s downfall.

     

     

    He was widely hated as a tyrant and was never comfortable in Rome as he was in fact born in North Africa.

     

     

    He spent a lot of time on campaigns outwith the Eternal city.

     

     

    The story goes that he was on the march with his army wearing this latest in natty open toed footwear when he found himself desperate for a pee!

     

     

    Accordingly, he dismounted from his horse and ran to relieve himself as a matter of urgency.

     

     

    However, it was here that he discovered that these particular fashionable boots were not so practical while taking an urgent leak as of course when acting in haste the toes may well get somewhat splashed– especially if you are a gentleman of a certain age with waterwork problems!

     

     

    Anyway, he was so totally engrossed with this practical problem that he became totally oblivious to the fact that one of the Praetorian Guard had become totally fed up with his boorish and dictator like ways ( he would slaughter anyone he thought was laughing at him or mocking him ) and so did not hear the guard approaching as he went about his business.

     

     

    The guard solved the practical problem of the shoes by slitting Caracalla’s throat there and then!

     

     

    The boots went out of fashion after that for some reason.

     

     

    But there is no reason why they shouldn’t make a come back in these more civilised times — although I wouldn’t be careless around the latrine all the same!

     

     

    And of course it is this story which gives us the phrase— going for a slash!!!

  16. A Banker,a Teacher and an Immigrant are sat at a table with ten biscuits on a plate.

     

    The Teacher and the Immigrant are deep in conversation, the Bankers stuffs nine of the biscuits into his mouth and pockets.

     

    He leans over and whispers to the Teacher, “Watch out the Immigrant is after your biscuit”

  17. in close season we lost 2 centre backs, we have signed another 2 centre backs, hopefully the two he have signed will be better than those that left

    There’s probably lots of evidence out there to contradict my opinions of Doncaster, but to the best of my belief, he isn’t intrinsically pro-Sevco. He may have been influenced by some pro-Sevco arguments or board members, but generally, I find him to be reasonably impartial, unlike Longmuir, an unashamed pro-Sevconian, who would have had “thems” back in the SPL and Europe if he could. Jeezo, Pep McCoist even refers to him as “David”

     

     

    A no-brainer for me!
