    I'd be surprised if he managed to hit water when taking a dump.

    I think he's had a stroke at some time. His reactions are way behind this thoughts.

    You need a * time machine to play a ball that he'd be able to do something with.

    got to agree that if you wanted a deep non-typical forward, Fletcher would have been a better value and IMO just plain better option that Fortune. Fortune to me looks like a player who is not suited to SPL football.

    Aye, and people are saying to raid the French League I agree. Sign Gignac, he's scored 4 in 9 for France, and he would have been cheaper. Just think Fortunes a french Rafael Scheidt!

    Yeh I agree with that too. Although I thought that wasn't really the type of striker we needed in the first place.

    This guy is the worst striker i have ever seen pull on a Celtic jersey. Killen should be ahead of him in the pecking order now. Was a disaster today and added nothing to the play. Really annoyed me when he gave out to Aiden after a perfect pass to his feet that he ruined. His decision making was awful aswell.
    We payed less for Samaras, MCDonald and Killen put together than we did for this guy and Sammi and Skippy put in more effort and are better players so for a good amount more money than those 2 you would expect a player with a touch of class.
    4 million wasted.

    Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the guy. But it just doesn't look like he has the bottle to play for such a big club, where the pressure to score goals is so high.

    The buck stops with Mowbray, he bigged him up as if he was the answer to all our problems. This isn't West Brom Tony.

    Fortune was never a goal scorer with his former clubs, 65 goals as a pro striker in 11 years. Thats league goals btw... Not good enough...:38:
    TM made a big mistake buying him. But i think thats all he could aford, i dont think the board wanted to spend the money on a good striker.
    3 billionaires at the club ffs... this is the worst celtic strike force i can remember.

    4 million is a decent amount. Strachan spent at most 3.5m on a striker - Hesselink, who is regarded as a success.

    Mogga has made a huge error and I think he knows it himself.

    Aye same mate. I was trying so hard to defend him, but deep down I knew he was a bit of a dud. I can't see him improving at all.

    Hesselink was a top player in his first season and one things for sure he carried more threat than that imposter Fortune, even after all his injuries.
