    This is undoubtedly an amazing goal, however it highlights the problem. He can score goals but it is pretty obvious to all the he isn't a technical/intelligent footballer.

    His close control and passing just isn't up to it for a team who is going to be dominating games. He will work best for a team where he can break away and score on the counter.

    You could have a point there to be fair. That thought has crossed my mind in the past too.

    At least you're providing a reason for why you don't think he'll make it here rather than just saying he's *. :50:

    I see on his twitter account (I'm presuming it's his real account bout 4,000 followers)
    And his comments are "I think John Guidetti is going to be big player for Celtic, class signing"
    "Great win for Celtic today"

    He's the very definition of 'raw'. I'd give him a chance. Could be our Zlatan! :56:

    I still think he could be useful as a target man. Sometimes when we're playing * SPFL teams like Killie, and we're failing miserably at trying to break them down, we could do with a big * in the box.

    Late to the party, but what a fecking goal that was.

    Can't help but think that this will be his career highlight though and he will be remembered solely for that strike.

    Pessimistic yes, but those kind of goals come once every blue moon :smiley-laughing002:

    Hapoel Tel Aviv come to terms with Celtic property Amido Balde currently playing for Beveren in Belgium.



    i try to translate i think he signed for them .. he will join the team next practice training and sign subject to medical examination.

    Excellent news. I didn't actually think he was that bad, but moving on these sorts of fringe players is exactly what we should be doing right now. There are so many players who have no future at Celtic that are still on the wage bill.

    Quite right to get rid. Hope we managed to get even just half the £1.54m fee we spent on him.

    1 goal at Beveren in 15 appearances, over 1000 minutes played. * poor.
