    Where did you get your stats mate? Cause its way more bleak then you think: https://www.transfermarkt.de/michel-ange-balikwisha/verletzungen/spieler/502239. I only have it in German, but it doesnt make for good reading. He has had a spell on the sidelines for at least 10 games for each of the last few seasons. But indeed since his last injury he remained injury free, so maybe its been sorted. But it worries me. Defo with KT’s equally bad record, its a left flank thats potentially doubtfull for about a third of a season.

    One thing about him is he looks a powerful big athlete something we lack

    I said years ago we need to look at bringing in big strong athletic types like the Scandinavians.

    You never see wee light weight scandinavians

    Im actually alot more optimistic today; seeing the antwerp fans clearly appreciate him, and seeing they actually paid 4m for him in the first place gives me some hope.

    * me, am I pinning my hopes for the season on a 4m winger from Belgium??? Lawwell gaslighted me ffs

    Royal Antwerp     winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha is due to arrive in the UK this week to undergo a medical with Celtic.

    It’s understood a deal worth up to £5m has been agreed by the clubs.

    The 24-year-old was not part of the squad that faced KV Mechelen on Sunday, but was given a send-off on the pitch after the match.

    Balikwisha has verbally agreed terms with Celtic and will finalise the paperwork on his contract when he arrives in Glasgow.

    It's late but I hope he hammers the huns.

    Deadline day completion.

    We could have him in and on subs bench vs the huns but that would make sense.

    You can sense the apathy around this signing because Notorious hasn't made the welcome thread a week too early
