[Link] Baba Diawara

There is a snipet i todays Sun saying as much but then again it is the Sun Ive checked on-line and cant see it

 

http://golodeplaca.blogspot.com/2011/11/benfica-tenta-roubar-baba-ao-celtic.html

benfica are trying to sign him supposedly

 

ah, thank * my 5th language is portyougeeze

 

your right mate, was taking a crap reading the sun 5 minutes ago there and seen what he said himself. sounds like this can happen

 

yeah i seen the quote himself he sounds keen to come here and even better said it shouldnt be long and this are in place to make it happen

 

another Ill believe it when he is in the Celtic strip in Parkhead.

 

http://sport.stv.tv/football/scotti...3-celtic-deal-for-baba-diawara-falls-through/

"We had a transfer agreement in place with Celtic but this hasn't gone through due to the visa issue. Celtic will have the priority to take the player in January so at the moment it is on hold and the transfer will not happen in this window.
"He will stay here with Maritimo until January and he could go to Celtic then."

 

We pulled the plug and used "Visa issues" as an excuse.

I reckon Lennon and the board had concrete interest in both, they knew we needed another striker so lined up both in case one fell through. It didn't so the Baba deal was pulled and the Bangura deal was finalised.

When have Celtic ever went out and spent around £6m on two strikers in the space of three days?

That just doesn't happen. Baba was plan B.

Mates a benfica fan.. He said baba is playing amazing over there, he's one of the best strikers in the leauge.. maritimo are 4th and hes scored 7 goals this season so far for them! I dunno the ins and outs of whats going on with him but i hope to * we get him

 

How do you know this ??

 

Really hope he comes:icon_mrgreen:

 

Just searched "Baba Diawara Celtic" then results in last 24 hours. A few articles came up. Can't translate them on my phone anyone be able to do this then post on thread?.

 

The Scots were close to signing striker Baba Diawara in the Maritime closed for the past 3.5 million euros, but a difficulty in meeting deadlines eventually abort the transfer. This deal was reportedly postponed to January, but Benfica seem willing to meddle in these negotiations and ensure that the Senegalese is already one of the best markers of the Premier League. Cardozo has been below its usual level, Saviola will leave in January and Nelson Oliveira and Rodrigo did not seem to have options for owners. With more than likely out of Javier Saviola, becomes a priority to discover an advanced quality and cheap (Luís Filipe Vieira admitted that more than 6 million is impossible for the coffers of Light) that can fight for a place with Rodrigo and Cardozo. This is advanced Baba ...

Advanced: The End-of-launch of the Senegalese Ferry is a fast player, explosive movements and achieves good breakthrough, especially the ease with which makes goals (as in 2008/09 was the 3rd top scorer in the league). In Lisbon, it is expected that there is a new Makukula ...

 

I've read that a few places as well mate. Doesn't make it true of course.

 

This one came up top

Wouldn't bother with it though, full of bawbags.

 

theres a bit in the times saying he would jump at the chance of joining celtic in January if the opportunity arose.

 

* off benfica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Papa Babacar Diawara, or just Baba, came to the wood with only 19 and has entered the history of the Sea. The two goals scored in their last game against the Academic earned him a spot on the podium of the gunners of the island group in the first step.

The advanced 23 years - that is about to leave for the next winter in Scottish football - already equaled the 35 goals from Gaucho, who defended the green rubles between 2001 and 2004, now just ahead of Canada Alex Bunbury and Brazilian Edmilson, although considerable distance.
