Amido Balde

honestly dont see any ability...seems clumsy and lacks awareness..not a natural finisher

 

One match, effectively a training match at that.....think ill reserve judgment until I've seen more of him.

 

must be bollocks having a footballing brother whilst you work in McDonald's.

 

I think he will turn out good but not a clinical type, don't think we need him to be tho if his link up play is good and he can score a few headers and bully defenders he will be an asset, we have other strikers who can be clinical and also run the channels.

 

Wonder if he gets free McDonalds

 

He shall score 13 goals.

 

I never judge but I have this feeling too

 

Was working but from what I seen commons and mulgrew didn't help had him chasing the ball left and right

 

fat sally will be green with envy

 

A hope this guy scores against Cliftonville to shut the voice up in my head thats telling me hes nt gny be a good signing. Prove me Wrong Amido!

 

I really really hope I am wrong on this one , but after watching the two preseason games Balde does not look the part. His touch, running style and positioning just look all wrong. I know its very early to reach conclusions but I have been watching Celtic for 46 years and have a bad feeling on this one.

I'd be interested in others opinions.

 

Jesus. Come back when you've seen him play in something other than glorified training sessions.

 

I didn't see the first game, but from the game last night the ball was really just being knocked high up the park to him. He looked a bit awkward and i just don't think he's used to this kind of style of football. He might get on a bit better with the ball into feet, but there wasn't enough pace from midfield last night to do that.

On that showing last night, it is a very strange signing, but we'll see if that changes when we put out our first team.

 

Fgs give the guy a chance he has just came from the portugese league to our game he will need time to settle and get used to the team .....dont worry he will come good

 

time

yeh marco, think your right - its early days, he did look slow.unfit yesterday but we have to give him time.

 

People keep forgettinv its only pre season and he will need time

 

We actually discussing this, a player who has just signed up and like everyone else in the team right now is just looking for match fitness.

I Will not pass judgement until I seen him in more than a handful of competitive games, it takes players a wee bit of time to regain match fitness and then to gel into the team/team's style of play.

 

2 friendlies and he's being judged. unreal.

fans are so fickle. can't remember many players shining in their first two games for the club.

new country, new culture, new players, new friends, new food, new regime, new language, new backroom staff etc. didn't play too well in two friendlies? get him tae. as if he hasn't settled in already!

 

I'll wait till he's had a decent run. Give him time gel and get a partnership going with Hooper
