Well I agree with what seems to be a majority here that he's worth a punt if that punt is £1million though that's a number we're just throwing around since there's been no enquiry or it would be in the Albanian presidential newspapers sports section as " must read".
I agree that Oh hasn't hit the ground running in the way Kyogo and Giakoumakis did but tbf and tbh he's a lot younger than both and has the experience of neither.
Can't be forgotten that had Kyogo not been injured Giakoumakis would have unlikely took part in the games he did never mind finish joint top goalscorer with Reegan Cook.
Personally I'm pretty satisfied with his contributions so far given his limited game time, more importantly so has Jurgen Klinsmann and Ange.
I may be wrong on this but think Oh has had 16 appearances and scored 4 goals for the club including the 1 start hes had.
Thats not a bad return at all 4 goals ( however old that data I'm quoting is it won't be far out if it's wrong).
I'm not against the punt on him not at all, I am by default ( this all being hypothetical) wary of such a deal.
Wary because for starters he requires Kyogo to not start which in turn , should he start in his place puts Oh behind him ( in the punters heads at least) what kind of message does that give the young South Korean who fought tooth and nail for this move?
Thankfully I'm not responsible for such decisions.
Like those who've made good solid viable reasons why we should make the punt, I'm still cautious on its possibility.
Flashback: Nadir Ciftci:
I mean , ( hang on punter hat off FIFA PS4 managers hat on for a minute) where has he been?
Why now?
Has he been applying himself to the game in the way hed be required to at Celtic?
if yes then why has it taken so long to appear at this level?
Couldve been injured possibly or hes had the sesson of his life, sitting 8th/12 at Motherwell nothing to play for bar top scorer and kyogo will win that , 3 ahead 4 to play.
Well he's been at Motherwell ( my intense knowledge of football stats and Google 🤫 tell me) since 2021.
Why has it taken him til now to turn up?
Must be there ALWAYS for Ange should
he take a punt as "we never stop".
Onefootball app shows he's scored 36 in 79 appearances for Well, impressive as is his 18 in 67 for Scunthorpe, not far off 1goal in 4 games.
Celtic can make or break a player as we've seen many times before, some are strong enough to cope with not cutting it here but others sadly are not as we read about time and again.
Players who wished they'd stayed , but as liam Gallagher say⁶s " you only get to do it once " some really talented get second chances and those special players get three chances , I should say one special player as Leigh Griffiths is the only person I've ever known to get THREE chances and still blow it what a waste and different story.
If Van Veen gets a move to Celtic I'll be surprised , very surprised.
Look at this list of the last top goal scorers in the SPL going back 20 years.

We sold last seasons top scorer for a profit but couldve made more sure , Charles Reegan Cook, is he still with Ross County?
Liam Boyce , good instinctive predatory striker £750k from County to Burton, a lot of cash for both clubs County's biggest sell Burtons biggest buy but injury ruled him.out for about 6 month when he was in the best form in his life and couldn't get back to it.
Couldve/should've cashed in on French Eddy when his value was higher ( though Godknows where that wouldve left us at the time ( season before he left ).
Two seasons in a row SPL top goalscorer got him a move to Crystal Palace ( cheers agent smith, tosser) .
My point here is that top scorer here obviously doesn't register as much as it should around Europe, mind the nonsense about henrik and how his goals only amounted to a percentage of goals in the top 5 leagues?
Still scored enough to beat their dodgy system,which was something like if you play in the top 5 divisions you get ( or got, its probably more rigged now)
La Liga or EPL, any of the other 3 , one goal =1 pt.
Not in wee sconny Botland ( oops did I say that backwards ? No idea why? 🤔
You have to go way back ( see on the list) to Henriks move to Barcelona to find an SPL top goalscorer who went on to bigger and better things.
Sorry Odsonne but Crystal Palace don't count as I'm sure you're well and truly aware of by now, moneys great though eh?
Pity you can't be adored and paid all that cash, greedy barsteward I swear some people are never happy with their lot.
