    I heard he got the jail at the medical, emptied bags of coke, heroin and eccies out his pockets before he went on the treadmill.

    Bangura and Sammy were not in Balde's way, Pukki and Stokes are, now Griffiths too.

    If we were signing this guy from a different league wed all be creaming ourselves over his youtube clips haha.

    Not a good way to judge someone but im gonna stick my neck out and say that Griffiths will do really well for us.

    Hopefully does his talking on the pitch and not off it.

    If we keep getting potentially world class talent like Griffiths I'll be happy.

    Is this whole Balde love in a joke or what ? He just seems to be a bit of a cult figure atm.

    No, it's the fact he is working hard to impress in the little time he has and now we have an average striker who will be above him in the pecking order already. Now he probably won't even come off the bench.

    Over and above everything else (subject to passing his medical) he will be a Celtic player so we should support him like the rest. I'm not his biggest fan (far from it) but welcome to Celtic Leigh. Hail Hail.:celt_2:

    Griffiths will be the number 1 striker from now till the end of the season I reckon he will hit double figures starting with 2 on Sunday against St Mirren

    He will start on Sunday. Lennon will be trying to prove a point.

    I'm not his biggest fan by any stretch but Griffiths has shown he is technically a far better footballer than Balde. Don't understand why everyone is loving Balde. He is only a year younger than Griffiths and Raw is an understatement. He may try hard but so did Kenny Miller - doesn't make you good. Only time will tell I suppose but I don't think he looks like he will ever be good enough...

    if we bring this guy in and improve him like lennon said you never know he might turn into being good enough for the champions league but i think this guy can score all sorts of goals from outside the box to being a poacher in front of goal so i think he can do well here for qualifying for the champions league we arent up against any serious quality until we are there proper and i think Griffiths goals will get us there

    Haha so he did. I don't understand the love in with Balde. The signing of Griffiths doesn't necessarily mean Balde won't get game time either. He might still come off the bench with two minutes to go :smiley-laughing002:

    Poor guy.
