Seeking game time in Qatar

551

Marco Tilio made a late substitute appearance in Australia’s final Asian Cup warm-up game against Bharain on Saturday.  The player is clearly valued higher in his home country than around Lennoxtown.  With little prospect of a promotion to the Celtic starting line-up ahead, any chance the player has to shine would be useful for him and the club.

Oh Hyeon-gyu played the first half of Korea’s game against Iraq on the same day.  There is little chance of Oh moving on this month but, like Marco, he is a player who would benefit from gametime in Qatar.

Japan’s opener against Vietnam on Sunday will attract most attention from Celtic fans.  Reo Hatate should be close to full fitness, although I doubt he will start the game.  Daizen Maeda led the line for Japan at the World Cup, when they expected to play a counter-attacking game.  Tactics will be different against Vietnam than they were against Spain, so Daizen may not play the same role.

Again, you and I will lie in our beds at night pondering why one of the greatest Celtic players of this century is on a beach somewhere right now.

The Sun report Celtic have received a work permit for Nicolas Kuhn.  This detail is usually completed after paperwork is signed.  Hopefully we’re a ‘Ross Hall moment’ away from getting this one over the line.

  1. Kwon to St Mirren,a great idea.Good for us t see how he performs.He was actually rated highly in Korea.Lets see.On that subject,Holm to the Dons,I think would be good for the boy.Brendan rates him highly,so get him playing.Couple of tacklers to boot.Might accidently clog a Gun,into the bargain.

  2. Hun,my tablet is scared of being labelled sectarian,so always writes Gun.Also writes Kyoto.No idea what its hang up is there.

    Ducking nightmare….

  4. Never fancied Trippier back in the day…but….you could see Newcastle tighten up (today apart) as soon as he signed. I think he’s a better player now than he ever was. Their whole team got a lift when he signed. You can see he’s a hard working, experienced professional.

     

     

    Would love to see Celtic sign someone with that kind of experience to complement Joe Hart.

     

    I’d take KT back in a minute.

     

    I’d say he’s well experienced now and would help CMcG push the players on

    Awesome post and thank you!

    Great to see you posting!

  7. I’d say Oh is a target man type striker. Still a project. He needs to learn the ropes off a similar type striker (and that ain’t Kyogo) so if we want to develop him he needs an experienced target man.

     

    C’mon Brendan, you know what needs done

    All good here.

  9. I’m sure when Ange joined us we were also looking to recruit a Director of Football

     

     

    What happened there?

     

     

    Suppose the powers that be didn’t want another hefty salary to dilute their bonuses

  10. Celtic play their next game in 8 days

     

     

    Top of the league

     

     

    Brendan is no Clement …

     

     

    Enjoy these terrific times … they are going to get better

    Fact or fiction I don’t know but do celtic need to stump up a further£200,000 to seal the Kuhn deal….

     

     

    Couple of articles on newsnow saying that’s holding up the completion of the deal…..

    Fingers crossed it’s nonsense and it’s just hits. 🙏

  13. Wonder if Stuart Armstrong is happy with his intermittent playing time at Southampton

     

    Losing DT and inevitably MOR I wouldn’t mind taking him back

  14. Off to ‘ma cot

    Stuart was a decent player for us … but didn’t enjoy playing for us … not a chance he would play for us again .. Will stay in England and in a few years maybe back to Dundee Utd

    you are probably aware already, that the 3 songs you have posted all last around 3 minutes or less. Back in the day….if your song lasted longer, it was likely that radio stations wouldn’t play it, or at best, play 3 minutes of it then cut it off.

     

    Most pop songs in the ‘50s, ‘60s and early ‘70s followed that rule. Any longer than that seldom were played on the “wireless”

    Never knew he didn’t like playing for us….we live and learn

     

    Back to the drawing board

    The other word is that terms are agreed but the selling club want to get a replacement in before they let him go.

    Read that too

     

     

    The fact he didn’t play for them today leads me to believe the deal is as good as done…

  20. Van Hooijdonk could be Brendans Moussa this term…..

     

     

    Miss a big striker that can put it about

     

     

    Anyone seen his highlights?

  21. 31003 9.46pm

     

     

    By all accounts he didn’t like the “baggage” like you I thought he was a great player … in these days for “breaking the lines” in old money :.. running :-)

  22. Armstrong is in the twilight of his career

     

     

    Will not come back to us now

     

     

    Good when he was here, but his time is past

    Big strong boy with a lot of goals inside 10 yards…..

     

     

    Good mentor for Oh?
