Leigh Griffiths

Sorry mate, I love the wee man, but incredible finisher he is not... he scores about 1 in 5-10 attempts. What's great is he never * stops and makes 10-15 chances a game. He's a hard worker, so helps us pump Scottish teams, but usually not clinical enough to do it against top Euro teams. Eddy and Moussa make the teamsheet because they can get 1 or 2 goals from their 3 or 4 chances...

 

Looking forward to him back in the fold.

Only worry I have is Lenny saying its like having a £6m striker back. Is that like Waghorn

 

Where did you pull those stats from? He's not hit 562 shots for his 72 goals hahaha

 

NL: "Leigh's training very well. He’s had a really good week and has been training constantly for the last few months so I have no problem in putting him in."

NL: "He’s missed it and he’s in a good place at the minute. I’m really pleased with what I’ve seen of him so far.

 

NEIL Lennon is hoping to have Leigh Griffiths fit and firing in time for Celtic’s Champions League qualifiers, and he could feature in the club’s pre-season friendlies next week in Austria.

Griffiths is back in training after a spell awat from the club to deal with personal issues, and Lennon is pleased by what he has seen from the striker in training.

“I’m delighted with him, really pleased – it’s like having a new signing,” Lennon said. “He still has a bit to go in terms of his conditioning but so do the others.


But he’s been working really hard behind the scenes and away from the limelight and I think that’s been good for him when it comes to taking stock of things and just getting his house in order.

“He owes the club something now because they’ve been very good to him. They’ve been supportive and given him all the compassion he’s needed.

“Now it’s time for him to get back to doing what he’s best at, which is playing and scoring goals.

“Will the Champions League qualifiers come too early for him? Not at all; we want to get him playing next week if we can, let him have some game time and then we’ll assess the situation from there.

“There was never a chance of him being involved in the Scottish Cup final because he hadn’t had any football for five months so it would’ve been folly to pitch him into the squad after a week’s training

It would have been almost impossible for him to do well and he could have injured himself as well.

“Now, though, he’s done lots of conditioning work and he’s had a good week, with double sessions. He’s re-integrated with the squad and I’m pleased for him.”

 

His *.
Same as the other figures

 

Can't wait to see him back in the hoops, a proper goalscoring machine and player

 

Definitely bulked up.

Delighted to see him back ready for action, he'll be top scorer for us and top scorer in the country.

You heard it here first!

 

Looking forward to seeing him back among it again.

 

Hes back and ready to * * up.

Can we drop the "get well soon" from the thread title now?

 

has always been the best finisher at the club. play him consistently and give him your faith. a wee arm roon the shoulder and griff will bag ye all the goals ye need. great player. if it wis not for griff ronny deilas time wid ae been even mair brutal

 

Will be a massive boost to the attack to have a fully fit Griffiths back. The fact that Dembele was sold at the last minute last summer and then Griffiths for the most part ended up missing the season really was a massive reason we struggled for goals at times last season.

 

Worked out perfectly..

Back in and get's a sitter like that..
