Vakoun Issouf Bayo

He’s *.

3 goals this season for Toulouse. Doesn’t even make their squad half the time.

Only thing he seems to be competent at is heading the ball.

 

we had lee congerton - he setup a good scouting network but when players got mentioned to the board they were slapped down, Brendan and lee go hand in hand.. enough was enough and Brendan left, got dembele and Edouard. at the time they were told to sign jonn hayes and that was the start of funny goings on at the club in re: who runs the show. As a result the scouts and recruitment side come out worst to most fans. for years the club has let go of great scouts all levels and relied on agents ( the modern game - the blood suckers of the game !) john park another example - he cant work with lawwell he recently got a head of recruitment job with legia in poland)

Players such as castagne, mc ginn recommended but the board wasn't having it - this penny pinching has cost a good recruitment setup, progessive manager. I believe Brendan would have stayed for the ten but his role became unworkable with the board - Brendan's ambitions were more than the board, the rise in finances to secure the ten was a risk to great perceived by the board. Desmond has the money, he should have bank rolled this season done the extraordinary to finish in style.

Lubo, * bless that man. it would be interesting if we signed a 33 year old this week for celtic just like lubo when he signed, 99,99% of fans would be going mad lol I always say give be an intelligent player over a good player no matter what age, intelligent players are coachable! lubo had that in abundance he could see the bigger picture before he even had the ball at his feet.

 

would soro be * if he was sold in jan and didn't come into the team in the last month?
we as fans are so quick to judge players - judge a player starting 10-20 games a season.
bayo done the business last season home to hibs - they guy was never given a fair crack of the whip
was pukki *?
is eddie *? he has been * this season.
ajeti was playing well until his injury.
it is hard to come of the bench and try to impress in a game, esp if the manager has no faith in you, and many of our players pay for themselves - Christie, mikey Johnson etc.

look at the manager and his tactics and what the manager is telling them to do which often makes the players seem to out of focus.

 

He's only halfway through his first season in top flight, hardly been found out especially with Dundee United changing managers. He's a natural goalscorer, Bayo is a natural donkey.

 

He’s * mate. Just turned 24 and he’s got 27 goals to his name. 22 of those in the Slovakian league.

He couldn’t get in our team and he’s struggling to get near the Toulouse team.

Eddie and Pukki are far better players. That was obvious from their first few appearances. Bayo maybe never got an extended run in the team. But he showed absolutely nothing to suggest he deserved a run in the team.

Dreadful touch, no link up play, missed good chances, can’t dribble etc.

 

* well eddie must be watching bayo's show reel this season as he has been a cause to many of our problems, should have been sold in the summer - his first touch, link up play, sitters missed and terrible ball shielding are shocking.

I am not saying bayo is as good or better than eddie or pukki, what I am saying is he was never given a fair chance to show what he can do. if it was me I would have sent him out into the league to see what he can do at a loan club, or div 1 to closely monitor, the same with polish paddy. done wonders for ajer and Christie, and hopefully Afolabi.

When players are signed, I think we all want players who will be impact signings, can hit the ground running and cause and big game players - we sign players for the future or who are injury prone as * which we all find frustrating.

you cant be taking that own goal of him against hibs lol

this is celtic fs the levels atm, having us discuss brining bayo back - next we will be asked to use a teabag twice before we throw it out.

no better feeling to a player than praise and support within the club to do well, is lennon doing this to players like griff, ajeti, barkas, polish paddy, soro (before he got called upon? or was this lennons last bottom option?) - if you come into a new club and surroundings and don't feel the love it can be a horrible place to show your worth

 

Scored a cracking wee chip again last night, that's 2 in 2.

Bring him home

 

I don’t think for a second that Bayo is the answer as he’s limited in his ability but he is easily a better player and more of a threat than Klimala.

 

ajer could have done a 'bayo' last night a cheeky * over the keeper, nonetheless ajer had a strong offensive game

 

Their is such a thing as a late bloomer

I think he relays on confidence aswell

Most strikers do, I think that's been a problem for our strikers this season. Little confidence due to poor management

 

at least Klimala got new fancy boots in Dubai...

useless decisions being made at this club

we were meant to get sporar but * about with money fs.

The great * up was not getting a solid quality striker at the start of last season or last jan, integrating them into the team and selling eddie at the start of this season and that striker now being number 1.

we have a wantaway striker, griff whos season is only starting and still getting match sharpness (seen with shots which are nearly griff-esque) and 2 x players who cant lead the line.

What a * up!

 

Not sure he's the answer in the long run but who knows, his manager at his loan team is fairly complimentary of him and says he's in much better shape now than when he arrived. Not many of our players have really progressed since Lennon arrived. If he keeps up his performances I'd give him another go before trying to punt him.

 

we need new scouts.

 

Think the issue is we wanted a player like edouard who would drop deep for the ball turn and run with it where as bayo looks like he wants to play on the shoulder which unfortunately teams play too deep against us to really do this! Boy can finish tho but when he runs with the ball he doesnt look like hes fully in control of it

 

Could do a job for us in some way, I feel.

 

Looking at the comments from the manager at toulouse is another dog at how * the fitness is at celtic

Recent comments saying that he is the fittest he has ever been now just shows yet again that the coaching for fitness here is *.

I would like him to do well with us, when I did see him play I liked his movement and efforts but the way we played didn't work and there's no desire to try something else here.
