    He's going to be the player version of Ange.
    Ange was a last minute panic that nobody wanted. Turned out ok though didn't it ?

    I mean everyone's picture of him before hand was this A.i generated fat blob who's legs couldn't move. This atleast gives hope he can move

    100% that ai pic has fooled a lot of people and are reluctant to back track, the vid of him running for Middlesborough he looks injured as if he had a niggle on his hammy or something, not sure if that's how he runs or not though. I suspect a lot of people in here don't watch Middlesborough or sevilla much

    To be fair if we can get him fit he will 100% score goals. Hes a very good finisher on his day and quite a strong player on the ball.

    Well if nothing else we should get 100% effort from him. I doubt the same can be said for Maeda or Yang, if we ever have to suffer watching the latter in the hoops again.

    Was just talking to my Boro mate last night.
    Said he had a disaster loan with them, attitude was stinking and thought he was too good to be there.
    He said he definitely showed that he has the talent at times, just wasn’t interested.

    Hopefully that was a humbling experience for him and he really tries to get his career back on track now.
    Not going to judge the lad until I’ve seen how he gets on over the first couple of months in a Celtic jersey, he’s here now and he’ll get my full support….for now!

    Was saying this last night after I seen that clip. If we had signed him along with the likes of a Dolberg and Rodgers got his 2 strikers after Idah going there would be a far better outlook at this signing I think.

    Thats how I feel. I think the fan reaction to Iheanacho is based firstly on the fact he was a deperation signing, and secondly because he arrived admist rumours of better players.

    His pedigree is still way ahead of most of our signings. If we can allow ourselves to hope that our cheap punts from mid level J league players can come good, we should be able to give Iheanacho a crack at convinving us. If he can click and he enjoys his football then he may do well.

    More like its based on the fact he has been * for years, rejected a move here in January, and was an absolute diddy at Middlesbrough last season. Clutching at straws.

    All we need now is Iheanacho and Rodgers in a log cabin with no easy way out blaring and Lawwell screaming “you can’t win Rodgers!”

    I know it's only a training clip, but his 1st touch is like a magnet. So that alone is a upgrade on Idah.
    If he has that desire to train alone then maybe his mindset is possibly changing. No gonna write this one off to soo tbh.

    Does give me some hope seeing that video of him that hes at least fitter than he was at Middlesbrough but in all honesty he could have got any unfitter than he was. Just hope we're all crying out for us to activate the 1 year extension before Christmas cause we need someone to step up and fast.
