Tonev arrives after a season long chase

795
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

A year after trying and failing to sign him from Lech Poznan, Celtic have secured the services of Aleksandar Tonev from Aston Villa.  Tonev has blistering pace, a right footer who is usually used on the left, he is an archetypal counter-attacking player.

The player’s profile blossomed during the first six months of 2013, in particular after he scored a hat-trick for Bulgaria against Malta, which brought Villa and Celtic to the table.  The step-up to the English Premier League from playing a speciality role for Poznan was, not surprisingly, too much.

Aleksandar plays the same position as Georgios Samaras, albeit he’s a completely different type of player, but we will look to him to do the same job – be an out ball away from home in Europe.

Ronny will have seen him only from DVDs, so he’ll be keen to get him onto the pitch tomorrow morning for a run-out ahead of St Johnstone.  Let’s hope the manager likes what he sees….  It’s a worry. The most promising part of deal is that Aleksandar has a point to prove, I’d rather hungry players with a point to prove than those who’ve too much on the clock.

Welcome to Celtic, Aleks.

    There’ve been some great films, but I love him best for the genie in Aladdin.

    I hope Fergus does not have another flag day tarnished. I hope the disaffected can keep

     

    it civil on Sat and protest later. Msm will have their headlines prepared and we will be hearing about it for another 16 years, just like 98.

    Although the film is set in 1959, the tune played by the lone bagpiper by the lake is “The Fields of Athenry.” This tune, though considered a classic Irish folk tune, was only written in 1979.

  10. The Green Man on

    Transfer window shut…whats the total. 2 loan signings?

     

    Not looking good for Maribor.

     

    Still, its only the CL eh.

     

    Im sure Big Peter was planning for the Europa League anyway, so no harm done then.

     

     

    I think I will go outside for a brief moment, and scream very loudly.

     

    Be back shortly:)

  13. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox but saying no to CQN racists on

    The ethos of the US constitution was represented thus:-

     

     

     

    “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”

     

     

    Basically means you got money and increased voting power for owning slaves.

     

     

    Net effect was that the predominant view that slavery should be abolished could not be won in a democratic vote because the slave holders held the extra votes and seats due to them for having a population of slaves. After 60 years, the last twenty of which saw many attempts to resolve the issue, this resulted in the outbreak of the American Civil War.

     

     

    The ethos of some things need more than infringing.

  16. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Ronny said the other day we were working on signings.

     

    That wasn’t including Berget.

     

    A Park/ Lawwell signing on loan.

     

    No money spent and millions banked when we need at least 4 or 5 players.

     

    Awful.

    I posted wrong link (which I corrected later ) to inject a bit of humour.

     

     

    On the Justice Undone subject – although silence was right in the absence of evidence there now is evidence and if it were me I’d take it and ram it down a few throats.

     

     

    It’s not just the 10 yrs of ebt cheating, it’s the cheating to avoid the consequences of that cheating and it involves the very folk charged with looking after our game.

     

     

    Corrupt does not cover it.

  22. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Really unhappy at the lack of ambition once again. Celtic are becoming the most frustrating club, but why?

     

    we don’t have a goal in the side just now and the support crave and deserve a goalscorer.

  24. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Auldheid,

     

    Now that you are on,thanks for yer informative reply in the early hours.

     

    I see the next step in the HMRC appeal still resides in Scotland.

     

    Stand by for the Masonic verdict again.

    Thanks for info, I’ll be sure to find the story if possible. Hope it’s to be a cathedral in Revolution Square.

     

     

    Although, probably still wouldn’t receive as many visitors as John Lennon on his bench, more’s the pity.

    Ok ghuys, haven’t read back since my last post as had things to do, so I will bid you all a Night Night Timland and RIP Robin Williams. A brilliant actor and comedian who has entertained the whole world for decades. A sad loss.

     

     

    Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.

    Auldheid…..

     

     

    There are unknowns which are known to be known unknowns………

     

     

    Lawell and Dr. Death knew what was going on ……..that is known anyone with an Intelligence Quotient above 70…….

    Once saw a Robin Williams performance dubbed into Bulgarian on Bulgarian Tv , unsurprisingly enough.

     

    It was very funny.

    Auldheid

     

     

    I’m with the you, I’d fire off the whole nine yards every day of the week.

     

     

    Corruption and lies is something I’m fighting personally at the minute.

     

     

    The brazen attempt to cover up (complete abuse of power) when rumbled is what makes it much, much worse.

     

     

    I’ll try and get some more reading on it when I get time. I’ve have some input too but it’s not for on here.

    Aye if Independence does not get in the way of the Big Tax Case ebts finally being ruled on in England by the Supreme Court, the recipients will be as deid as their ex employer and HMRC will be charging their estates.

     

     

    Too frigging late for justice though.

     

     

    Still always the wee tax case. Titles in 1999 and 2003 should be forfeit. A lot worse than playing a suspended player, paying three by illegal tax means.

  38. latchford on

    A dismal transfer window and Lawwell does not take the 2nd chance

     

     

    He is ensuring Ronny fails

     

     

    He is slowly strangling the life out of Celtic and extinguishing the hopes and dreams of the fans

     

     

    The team has been weakened in 2 seasons to the level we seen against Legia

     

     

    The only saving grace is that Maribor are not at the level of Legia and we will not lose by 3 goals in Maribor and the return game is at Celtic Park

     

     

    However the vast majority of Celtic fans know Lawwell is playing them for mugs and at last have woken up….although it may be too late

     

     

    Lawwell is burned with the support at there is no trust with this man anymore

     

     

    He needs to be sacked.

    Couldn’t agree more.

     

     

    Fergus deserves the applause that will some will be reluctant to show him.

     

     

    Huge shame – how things change in a 3 months.

     

     

    Such a great idea when it was announced too.

    Latchford…..

     

     

    Contingent liability in the accounts?

     

     

    We are the other cheek of Sevco’s arse in Lawell’s mind…..

     

     

    Betcha Hertz winner at Diedbrox felt like a stake through the fat bassa’s heart yesterday.
