Charly Musonda

Harsh on poor Dev.

 

Anyone got a video of the backheel?

 

His name is Charly Musonda,
5ft nothing but full of wonder

 

Looked good.

I did notice he was warming up himself apart from when passing, not really talking to anyone much. He’s not even had a training session, poor guy hasn’t had a chance to make pals yet.

 

DEDRYCK Boyata believes his Belgian countryman Charly Musonda can finally fulfil his enormous potential at Celtic under the expert guidance of Parkhead manager Brendan Rodgers.

Musonda, who arrived in Glasgow on an 18 month loan deal on Monday, made his debut for the Scottish champions against Hearts on Tuesday evening.

The Chelsea playmaker showed glimpses of his ability during the half an hour which he spent on the park in a Ladbrokes Premiership game his new club won 3-1.

Boyata has known the 21-year-old since he was a boy and was delighted when he learned he would be joining him at Celtic.

He feels Musonda, who has struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge, will flourish working with Rodgers in the same way that Odsonne Edouard, Moussa Dembele, Olivier Ntcham and Patrick Roberts have.

“I’ve known Charly since he was 14 or 15,” he said. “He’s a very talented player and it’s good for him to be here and play some games. He showed in the few minutes he played today that he’s quite skilful, very quick.

“His football knowledge is very high – I can say that because I know him personally and I know how he thinks, how clever he can be. He can score goals as well so he has a lot of abilities."

Boyata added: “We have a manager who can help all the young players. You can see what he has done for Moussa, for Patrick, for Odsonne and for Olivier.

“They are much younger than me, but you can see how they improve through working with the manager every day. That is important.

“All these players have many years ahead of them in their careers and they benefit from playing games at a great club like this and with the manager.

“I think with Charly coming here, he is going to get as much game-time as possible and he will get better for it.”

 

Chelski fans seem very upset he unfollowed them and some of their players..pleasing

 

Can you hear can you the thundaa
Defenders run defenders take covaaaa

 

The jungle Bhoys were singing "we love the Charly" when he was warming up/coming on

 

The backheel was a thing of beauty. With this guy and Roberts playing we will be running rings round SPFL teams.

 

Not good enough. PTT is past it. Would sell him this summer and bring in a replacement from abroad.

 

Bit harsh on the tim.

 

Paul the tim is taller than I thought.

 

Thanks.

 

CM on debut: "It was great. It was amazing to play here in front of the fans for the first time at Celtic Park. I got a wonderful reception, I didn’t think it would be that loud. I look forward to playing more games."

CM: "Celtic is a team that needs to win. Me, as a youngster, coming from a team like Chelsea it’s the same type of pressure. That’s the most important thing for me."

CM: "Brendan Rodgers being the manager here was quite important to my decision. I spoke with him and I know how good he’s been with young players, especially here."

CM: "I was going to come last season and it didn’t happen for various reasons. The opportunity came back in this window and I knew as soon as I spoke with the manager that I was going to come her

CM on Dedryck Boyata: "I’ve known him since I was 13 or 14. I used to play with him in the off season. We were in the same neighbourhood so we played a lot of football together. I’m happy he’s here."

CM: "Celtic is a massive club, the bigger the game the better it is for a player like me. That’s what I enjoy, pressure games like this. To be a part of the team in the Europa League is going to be exciting."
