Charly Musonda

The is the place for him to get better.

Working with a good manager.

 

Fantastic news.

 

never heard of him, will wait and see ......

 

He loves attacking players does Brendan ..no wonder he broke the record in premiership and up here for goals scored ...

 

He is faster and fitter than the rest of our squad, but he has to go for a medical. Am sure Chelseas medicals must be on a different level than ours.

 

You think it's strange we're giving him a medical?

It'll be a legal requirement, or policy that we make sure our doctors/medical team deem him fit before we part with any cash - despite what other medical staff might tell us.

 

Need to do medicals before I go on to certain construction sites ffs!

 

No medical means no insurance...we have to cover our *,just the wages will run into a few mill.

 

Charly is a cracking player, super fast, is passing is good, can beat a man or two or three,can strike a ball & he's very clever...will get kicked around tho in Scotland & I don't know how he will deal with that

 

Brendan Rodgers believes Charly Musonda will be a 'great coup' for Celtic because up to 24 clubs have showed interest in the Chelsea prospect.

The creative 21-year-old is in Glasgow undergoing a medical ahead of an 18-month loan move Celtic hope to secure before the close of play on Monday.

Musonda will become Rodgers' third signing of the January window if he puts pen to paper before Wednesday's deadline, following Marvin Compper and Lewis Morgan.

"It's a really exciting prospect for the club," the manager said. "Charly is a big talent I've known for a few years now.

"He's really one of the shining lights within the Chelsea academy and has progressed through, had various loans out and has then been a part of their first-team squad.

"I think there was up to 24 clubs interested in taking Charly so for him to want to come here and Chelsea to happily want him to come then it's a great coup for us as a football club.

"It's also a great opportunity for Charly to come into one of the great clubs and get the opportunity to show his talent.

"He's a really exciting player, really dynamic, wonderful ability on the ball, works very hard. Loves his football, he's a bright player.

"We've maybe been unfortunate this season with injuries whereas last year we got lucky. We've had a number of injuries to our creative players so him coming in will add that creativity to our game. I'm really excited to work with him."

The Belgian youth international will go into the squad for Tuesday's Scottish Premiership meeting with Hearts if the deal is completed in time.

And it's a move that Rodgers believes will help him progress his career.

"He's at that age where he needs the opportunity," he continued. "It's very difficult for him to get a game at Chelsea with that level of quality and player, so it's part of his education.

"Those clubs only want to send them out to teams with a similar philosophy who can develop these players."

 

Very excited to see him in the hoops. What a talent we have landed

 

Steroids

 

Another Bangura, I suspect.

 

Straight into the squad for tomorrows game against the diets?

 

Hopefully it says in that report there if the deals done in time which I would imagine is 24 hours beforehand (19.45) so hopefully we will see him get a run out tomorrow

 

Holy * this has happened!?!?!?!
