He also came through the ranks at Benfica with jota ( Duk) if he's still at Don's by the time the window closes I'll be stunned.Van Veen has been excellent this season. As has Shankland at Hearts.
But I still would not be against bringing in Duk from Aberdeen as a back-up striker (not popular with many other Celtic fans, I know, but he has speed, skill and physicality, plus can score goals in Scotland with much less service than he'd get with us).
He might be able to do that for Motherwell BB just as Boyce did for Ross County that won him a move to the mighty brewers, Burton Albion.Anybody that can score 30 goals in this league is worth taking a punt on, wouldn’t imagine he cost over £1 million and he’d probably be on less than £2k a week, age is just a number, if we don’t buy him the Huns will, and I’d bet you he’d score against us, he’s dangerous and I’d rather he was in green and white, than blue, shankland a duk aren’t anywhere near as good as him…….why do we have to sell on every player we buy?
Needs to have a word with his agent , i think he would be a better player staying on with us for a few years and gaining european experience he's not the end product yet
No he's far from it Kelly he has all the talent and ability in the world but the consistency isn't there.Needs to have a word with his agent , i think he would be a better player staying on with us for a few years and gaining european experience he's not the end product yet
On a better team than Motherwell, where he's given the opportunities, it could be a world of differenceHe might be able to do that for Motherwell BB just as Boyce did for Ross County that won him a move to the mighty brewers, Burton Albion.
At 31 there's no sell on value, and aye you're right we don't have to sell on every player Hart probably falls into that category but we needed a top goalie.
Is Van Veen better than what we have or can get?
That's really the question here.
I believe for 90 mins he is but can his body ( being unused to the stresses) placed on it at training at Lennoxtown handle it?
I just don't see it happening, that would put him 3rd in line for the one striker slot.
Financially he might be up for that but is that the kind of player we want?
Good points, well made.Anybody that can score 30 goals in this league is worth taking a punt on, wouldn’t imagine he cost over £1 million and he’d probably be on less than £2k a week, age is just a number, if we don’t buy him the Huns will, and I’d bet you he’d score against us, he’s dangerous and I’d rather he was in green and white, than blue, shankland a duk aren’t anywhere near as good as him…….why do we have to sell on every player we buy?
It’s the upcoming champions league games, playing every Saturday, Wednesday takes it out on players, kyogo, is a brilliant player, but he gets injured, that shoulder is a concern, you being a medical person knows one you’ve poped it out, it just keeps coming out all the time, the jury is still out on oh, he’s only scored 4 goals this Season, (not good enough IMO) there’s no one else to lead the forward line, if kyogo gets injured, the Motherwell guy is a no brainer for me, if you look back to Martin o’neil’s team there was 3 quality strikers all capable of hitting 30 goals a season, larsson, Sutton and hartson,Good points, well made.
Yeah a season or two at Paradise being fed by the cracking players we have he could rack up a few goals.It’s the upcoming champions league games, playing every Saturday, Wednesday takes it out on players, kyogo, is a brilliant player, but he gets injured, that shoulder is a concern, you being a medical person knows one you’ve poped it out, it just keeps coming out all the time, the jury is still out on oh, he’s only scored 4 goals this Season, (not good enough IMO) there’s no one else to lead the forward line, if kyogo gets injured, the Motherwell guy is a no brainer for me, if you look back to Martin o’neil’s team there was 3 quality strikers all capable of hitting 30 goals a season, larsson, Sutton and hartson,
We NEED Van Veen in playing in the hoops next season, 30 goals playing in a mid table Motherwell team, playing in an attack minded team like us who knows what his tally could be….. 40?
Well, thanks to the miracle of Transfermarkt.com, here's where the good Mr. Higdon has been since . . .Remember when Motherwell player Michael Higdon won POTY? He was a big battering ram upfront and banged in the goals in the SPL. I always thought Celtic should have taken a chance on him. He would’ve scored loads of goals for us.
I think he left after he won POTY. No idea where he went or what happened to him.
This name 'Ito ' I've heard before with regards to Celtic, unless Ito is the equivalent of Smith, Brown, Murphy and O'Neil in Japan?Read earlier today that we are taking a look at Ryotaro Ito
If true, he looks 'useful'
Hat trick in this game
Mind you, the header from the first guy is a staotir, look at the height he climbs to
Good points, well made.
Bit of a tik tok twat clip of the heels there
