Stefan Johansen

If a player left say cliftonville who have won the northern irish league twice in a row now, to sign for dundee, who have won * all for decades, would you say he lacks ambition and a desire to win trophies?

Obviously you can't make a direct comparison for a few reasons, but it demonstrates that for alot of players, they would rather compete in a stronger league and win less trophies, money aside, and I don't hold that against them.

 

Jo Jo super Jo jo jo super Jo super johansen :icon_mrgreen:

 

Most players are driven by money these days unfortunately. Down to how the English have developed there league over the years! However, I really do think that it will be there downfall in years to come as it's not sustainable to continue. New rules and regulations will be devised too! As a result our well run club will flourish and again attract the best players!

 

Johansen's going nowhere. He's like Lustig.

 

He really has taken off now that he is fully settled in at Celtic. Plus he clearly appreciates what he has at Celtic and the type of club he is playing for so hopefully he will be wearing the hoops for many years to come.
On a side note and I have said this in other threads a few times. I would like to see us look hard at Scandinavian players. There are obviously many good players in Scandinavia but equally they seem to settle in and fit in well with playing for Celtic and living in Glasgow in general. Johansen and Lustig being two great examples.

 

Great player with just as good an attitude.

 

He'll be here for the long haul with Ronny

 

A new 5 year deal should be handed to him tomorrow. We dont want one of those situations again

 

Yep . Great situation for us , same as the Scott Brown situation .

 

How long's left on his contract?

 

From an interview with Norwegian journalists:

"Where will you be two years from now?"

"I'll be at Celtic"

 

I wish I could do the round of applause GIF.

 

Excellent post

 

Because we had a top side and were considered a force in Europe then, had a full house every week in a higher quality League too. If we somehow unearthed a player of similar quality one Summer he'd be sold by January to the Premier League.

 

The point was that the fans would have him sold or would compare him to the EPL and have a wankathon over how they would do down there, rather than appreciating what they bring for us.

 

The demise of an ex football club has changed some of our own i think. This is not an insult directed to these people by the way. "imagine that happened to us" is the thinking behind it. The thing is it wont happen to us. Making our team as strong as possible is the best thing we can do financially. If we are good enough to make it through the qualifiers every season then we will be rolling in it. Constantly punting our key men and we better get used to yo yoing in and out of the CL if we are lucky.

 

That's the way it is . Same for all clubs really apart from Barca and Madrid. As soon as a player is good enough for a bigger club they leave for one .
