Mathias Kvistgaarden

It took weeks for Rennes to seal the Kyogo deal. In fact; he’s been in France for 48 hours and it’s still not announced. If that was us, our fans would be going mental moaning about us dragging it out.

It’s just the nature of transfers; they take time for an abundance of reasons. It’s not just a few hits of the space bar until the deal is sealed.

 

Really don't understand why people wind themselves up over this sort of thing, how many of them were reporting on kyogo and jota moving before the other day, it's not like they just made contact this week and the deals happened overnight, they don't have a scooby what contact or talks have happened between clubs, there's nobody leaking it from inside at our end anymore.

 

Stop messing around and sign him up ffs.



Some good finishes in here but he's a very decent dribbler too. Pretty strong lad and has that low centre of gravity. Likes to twist away from defenders and get on the half turn.

Outside the box he'd be an immediate upgrade on Kyogo based on these highlights. Looks much better than Idah too.

 

I like this player and endorse this signing. Consequently, it will never happen.

 

Whatever countries are currently producing some of the best strikers in world football are the markets we should be targeting, don't think Denmark is that, look at Hojlund at Man Utd, hyped up *, this lad is nearly 23 yet never even got a senior cap, clubs must be put off for some reason, Denmark haven't produced a top striker since Jon Dahl Tomasson

Sweden currently has Isak and Gyokeres, I'd be scanning the Swedish league for an upcoming striker over the Danish

 

That logic is absolute nonsense come on. It literally makes no difference what country a player comes from. Bernabei would have been the best left back in the world because he's Argentinian same as Messi? A complete post of drivel mate.

 

Doesn't really work like that. Before those two, Sweden didn't have a top striker since Ibra who broke through in the early 2000s and then Larsson, a decade earlier. 4 good strikers in 30 years is hardly amazing.

But besides that, do you really think we thought "Let's target the Danish league for Strikers instead of other leagues, we might get lucky there". Or is it, more realistically, that we are looking around multiple leagues and saw that Kvistgaarden has alot of quality, regardless of what other strikers Denmark have produced before?

 

Well no because Messi and Bernabei don't play the same position on top of the fact I'm talking about what countries are currently producing some of the best strikers in world football not what countries used to produce in certain positions

Outside of all that anyway, at nearly 23 he's still not had a senior cap, wonder why, not as if Denmark are swimming with top strikers

I just think it's a good barometer to measure in being able to find a good striker, to see which countries are mostly producing those today, having watched the highlights of this guy I wasn't hugely impressed anyway, big unit yes but ability overall didn't scream Celtic No.1 striker

 

Again, it means nothing. If he had been capped and played for his country on multiple occasions he'd probably be in a similar price bracket to Hojlund and we'd never be able to afford him. Look at Kuhn, our best player this season and he could go his whole career without a Germany cap. Matt O'Riley another one, didn't stop us selling him for £25M. It shouldn't even factor in to our scouting. And it looks like it doesn't.

 

Tougher to get a cap for Germany as opposed to Denmark, also with Kuhn having been at Leipzig, Ajax and Bayern you knew he must have had something about him, O'Riley was about 19 or 20 when he signed so not having a senior cap by that age not as big an eyebrow raiser

Never said it means they're producing them ten a penny, just that it might be smarter to have a look there as opposed to Denmark for a striker

Right well he looked much bigger in his highlights, his stocky frame made him look taller

Not a single one of those Denmark strikers are household names, whilst I'm not suggesting they're *, none are world stand outs, I just think it's a bit of a red flag that he's not been capped by nearly 23, that's all, anyway, hopefully we have another striker lined up as opposed to this guy

 

I'm expecting us to try unearthing one of the world's next best up and coming strikers, that's what the scouts are paid to attempt to find after all, diamonds in the rough, as what happened with Van Dijk at CB, will the scouts find a player with that ability and potential? Probably not, but that at least has to be the aim

Hence why my argument was, two of the current best are Swedish, let's have a look there before Denmark, that's it, crazy logic, maybe so, all I know is that I don't look at this lad and see first choice Celtic striker material

 

Greece isn’t exactly renowned for having decent strikers, big giakoumakis was about 26 don’t even think he had been capped for them when he came to us at first, team he played for in Netherlands got relegated before he joined us , but he was exactly what we needed as a different option from kyogo , just wished he stayed a bit longer

 

Get it done!

 

I’d imagine we were dragging our heels in the deal too to make sure our CL progression was confirmed first aswell. We win and immediately the transfer is confirmed basically. Imagine the uproar if it had been reported he would be sold before the young boys game

 

They’ve got brilliant strikers at the minute though, that’s why Giakoumakis has hardly ever got a game for them
