Odsonne Edouard

Oh my fukin welt has just hit the floor.

* off Charlie ya attention seeking *.

 

Nah. Fannies have more depth.

 

Who gives a * how he celebrates, he’s a French kid playing for a Scottish club hardly gonna go nuts after every goal. Nicholas talks utter * at times.

 

At least you and Charlie have something in common!

 

what is it with these ex-players constantly talking * about us like they want us to fail.

Nicholas has done it for years. Davie Provan is another one and also Craig Burley. Its like they've got a chip on their shoulder to do with the club for some reason.

And as for Nicholas its us who should be bitter at him no the other way around. * off as soon as a club waved money at him then coming crawling back to us in the mid-nineties cause he'd nowhere else to go. That was ridiculous our board at the time sanctioning those signings. Bringing back these has-beens and letting them * about ticking the time down to their retirement. I.e Nicholas, McAvennie and Andy Walker.

 

Make no mistake about it edouard has the makings of a better player than dembele at lyon.

 

I think that sums it up perfectly...nuff said

 

Frankie Bhoy is a true Tim and Charlie is a chump whose celebrations were champagne fuelled but Walker has totally lowered the bar of disloyalty for a weekly bowl of soup and should be banned from getting anywhere near Celtic Park,

I have actually been enjoying our old school celebrations this season, not that a spontaneous somersault isn't fun now and again but sometimes watching football it looks like players have been practising their celebration more than their finishing.

Man, I sound like my Celtic Da

 

Huns keep bumping their gums about Morelols being in same class as French Eddy.

Morelols gets goals no doubt about that. However i am really struggling to think of any open goals, total sitters or Must Score opportunities that Eddy has missed - i am sure there are a few but there wont be a 10 minute highlight reel on YouTube

Then you think about Morelols and realize you could make the same 10 minute clip of his misses just in the games against us

Wee Fat Boy misses some amount of chances. This is where class will always tell,, Eddy has class while Morelols has none

 

SCOTTISH football history is littered with players whose comparisons to world-class stars has acted like a millstone around their necks. Stevie Fulton never quite reached the level of Roberto Baggio. John Fleck may have made the English Premier League, but he won’t leave as indelible a mark on the division as Wayne Rooney did.

So, it is always wise to treat such predictions of potential greatness with a pinch of salt. But when Christopher Jullien contemplated whether his teammate Odsonne Edouard could reach the level of Kylian Mbappe, he was serious about the prospect.

It’s not that the players are similar in style, with Edouard lacking the electric pace that marked Mbappe out as a genuine superstar in his mid-teens, but Jullien believes that his complete skill-set marks him out as someone who is destined for the very top.

When asked if Edouard could reach the same sort of level as Mbappe, Jullien said: “I think so, yes. “I’ve played against a lot of strikers and I have definitely not met many who are complete like Odsonne.


“He is quick, skilful and powerful. Sometimes there are really powerful players who are not so skilful. he is a complete striker and he can compete against a lot of strikers.

“He is a striker who can really do anything. He is really good with the ball, he has improved his ability to keep the ball in front of the defender, he is stronger and that is really good for us.

“He is on his way to being, for me, the bets striker in our league. He is going to show that in European games too.

“Sometimes when you are a defender the striker is always with you but Odsonne can go everywhere. He can drop deep, play a little bit with the midfielders and sometimes have contact with them. As a defender it can be hard when the striker is getting away from you, it’s like he disappears from you.

“Then he might come back, dribbling from another part of the field. It’s a really difficult.”

Perhaps the more obvious comparison to draw against Edouard is between that and his predecessor at Celtic, Moussa Dembele.

“I played against Dembele last season,” he said. “They are different. Dembele is more a real No.9.

“I think Odsonne can be that No.9 who can just move everywhere. That is so good for our team because we have a lot of players who play with the ball.

“He is different to Dembele, but they are both unbelievable.”

 

I wasnt suggesting that the Frankie Bhoy wasnt a true Tim. I was just saying we should never have re-signed him when we did - half way through the nineties. Thats how embaressingly bad we were run as a club in those days. He had just escaped a court case to do with drugs, no one else in England wanted him and he was about to sign for Partick Thistle when our brilliant board offered him a contract.

That was their tactics they seemed to think that by re-signing players that had played when we actually won trophies, that they would make us win trophies again. Forgetting that these players were now washed up and only wanted to tick the time down to retirement.

 

Sorry, I guess I just seen the first line of your post and didn't realise you weren't saying Frankie was talking * about us although you shouldn't have dragged him into a post about ex players being *

 

He’s changed. Less a laid back cool as a cucumber type. We’re now seeing a guy with determination, drive and a personality shining through on the park. He looks like he’s got some serious fight and desire, showing some attitude.

I guess Lenny’s fire is catching French Eddy.

 

Immense

 

His link up play was * incredible tonight.
