Lewis Morgan has had a difficult shift this season. The 23-year-old winger was used sparingly as a squad player before the concurrent absences of Odsonne Edouard, Leigh Griffiths and Bayo saw him drafted into the striker role against Rennes on 28th November.
Lewis scored a good goal that day but he is not a striker. He made another four appearances in that position before Edouard’s return, which brought the experiment to an end. He made 17 appearances in League One for Sunderland during the second half of last season. In the Wembley play-off final, he was brought on as an early substitute, while Aiden McGeady remained on the bench, but his time in the North East was not particularly productive.
Now he is Going to Miami for talks with Inter (not that one), with the MLS side having agreed a fee with Celtic for his permanent transfer.
There are several things about our experience with Lewis Morgan I like. Celtic scouts considered him the top talent in the Championship, a player with the potential to make the step up. It is good that we sign players like this.
He was loaned back to St Mirren, then after six months at Lennoxtown, out to Sunderland. He was given a chance in the qualifiers, then put through the striker turmoil, which gave Neil Lennon a chance to assess the player.
The player has a League Cup winner’s medal and a Wembley experience, things that he will be talking about for the rest of his life, and is likely to sign a contract to keep him in Florida for a few years. He would have hoped to hold down a first team place at Celtic, but on balance, the move from St Mirren has worked out well for him.
We have difficulty keeping players who are outstandingly successful, but they usually leave a for fee that allows us to further strengthen. What happens with players who do not make the grade is also important. Getting them off the wage bill, for a fee and hopefully a profit, stops the budget from being clogged by unproductive costs, a problem we have discussed on these pages since the days of Martin.

Favourite Uncle,
Bay Leafs.
A stab in the dark there.
Philbhoy,
All good here in kuwait except for the troubles which could explode at any time, I mean who can trust the yanks in anything, except to lie and renege on commitments.
I don’t think it is a lack of knowledge, simply trying to push an agenda.
Seen a rare appearance of an old poster earlier.Then again,could not have been him,as the only Luv ya to bits,I have seen since was my own,to his best friend,Big Jimmy.
CANAMALAR
He’s been accused of that recently on here.
Hope things settle down in the region.
Take care!
Shocked to learn that Pak Choi isn’t a gang from Easterhouse……..
Hope the Polish lad will be a success but not sure he’s what we need for plastic pitches at Killie, Livi or Hamilton when we are facing 10 men behind the ball. I think Cosgrove is worth a punt.

Linked with this guy too
theBHOYfromU.N.C.L.E
my beautiful closest friend is a pescatarian
years ago called me from somewhere
Can I eat Pak Choi ?
he was unsure of what it was
Will never forget
I was in the car in my dad’s driveway with Noel when got the call
Pak choi is a real love of mine
WHITEDOGHUNCH
Mine too……………..just a wee joke(of sorts) as i was preparing some for later.
Watched a few clips of Patryk – looks a natural finisher, almost like the ‘old’ Griff’ – likes to run in behind. Now to work out how to set the team up with two front men.
See Neil talking up returns for Arzani & Shved – could this mean that Patryk’s all we’re getting….hope not.
After watching the vid of our potential new Polish Paddy he does like to play on the shoulder of the defenders.
Question is:
Will his pace but too much for the SPFL ARs?
Flags will be up before he sets off me thinks.
Canamalar…
Take care mate and keep the heid.
Good news if we are recruitin’……………glad to hear it.
Gives every Tim a lift.
HH.
I hope this new signing PATRYCK KLIMALA comes good fast.
If he wants regular footy in the first team then he will have to
prove himself that he is worthy of that position & be direct
& start banging in the goals pronto
Big Jimmy
Your corrospondences to the corrupted cheats will be put straight into
the emails deleted window or if they answer it will be a dear John
email like oh there is nothing we can do a decision has been made
end of aye no right it was a pity you did not mention right in front of
myself & other supporters @ said match that dirty diving wee cheat
Morelos stood on Chris Jullien’s foot not once but twice right in front
of the 4th official who made sure he did not mention that in his report
Bhoys the weather out there is like that old Supertramp song
“It’s Raining Again” oh what a Surprise aye right this is normal
weather in Coldland my Dad use to say to myself when I was
a young nipper Coldland has the best water in the world aye

I thought that was the Pak Choi Toi………
naw?
Bournemouth don’t look like a team that spent £156m nett before the season.
I blame Lawwell 😅
Just my luck
Don’t get to Glasgow much but have a Baptism next weekend in East Kilbride when we haven’t got a home fixture. 😡
Noel Gallagher- Help!…

Thanks for the recommendation – last time I had chateaubriand was 1980s – but got family dining arrangements already sorted.
Gene, pleasure

Had it a month or two back.
Still brings the house down
Sum Yung Teem………….?

If you think Pak Choi’s though look out for his brother Bok
As for past pedo’s/nonses JT & Co who have brought our Club into disripute
allegations a few points here 1) So how come it took the accusers so long
to come forward ? What needs to be taking into account here is that said
so called Coach/Trainer Fit For Purpose Development Checks back where
no carried out meaning anyone could have applied for the Job without been
checked which we all know is wrong so how should a modern day football
Club be held to ransom to unfortunate circumstances of the past It’s like
years ago myself & an old school friend of mine dodged school & went to
the pictures to watch a movie & this old nonse came up & sat beside my
old school buddy & started to fondle his leg I was watching the movie &
my old school friend nudged me & said that guy next to me is touching
me up I @ first did not believe him so we swapped seats & sure thing the
nonse was doing the same to me I informed him loudly to fuck off I me
& my old school friend moved away to another section of seats in the
Auditorium point being we did not try & sue the Picture Hall Company
(The Odeon) for said circumstances the nonses could get away with it
back then because it was not high profile then & in the News however
nowadays it is also because Celtic’s name is mentioned & we all know
the media in Coldland like to give Celtic negative press so why should
Celtic be held accountable for nonses who worked for the old Club
(The Kelly’s & The Whites) back then when propper due dilligence
checks where not carried out nor acted upon these so called unfortunate
circumstances should be left & remain in the past not trying to be
exploited for financial gain after all I don’t hear anything more mentioned
in the bias media about the Spanky-Spanky Time Nonse who was
employed @ Rent A Midden now do we? Nah, I rest my Case.
Best wishes to all fellow Celts for 2020
Bada was that not a fake twitter account for Vangelis? I’d like us to sign 2 strikers you can never have enough goalscorers ideally I’d like a solid defensive type animal in midfield and another good CB too
live long and prosper
And “Just Desserts” for any self-respecting Ned would surely be a
choice between The Rhubarb or Apple Cumbie?
Too faur?

I totally agree with what you are saying Go Tell The Spar-Tim
Another tall & solid Right Back would not go a miss as well
especially when we are playing Sevco
The sleekitry of the garrulous and insistent “characters” with the same message is rather obvious.
