Fucking Walsall?! He’d be better off playing for Cork City
Eboue signing now announced subject to visa. I thought the visa process was holding up the signing announcement but they’ve gone ahead anyway. Presume the visa will be granted shortly.
He did Celtic a turn last summer in the Champions League qualification games when Simunovic, Sviatchenko and even the bomb scare Boyata were injured and before Toure joined. But he’s not likely to be part of Rodgers’ plans as he’s a bit short of the level required. He’s 21 and hasn’t played many senior games so a good run of appearances in the second half of the season will tell a lot about where he’ll progress to.
I suppose he’d want to stand out in League 1 if he has any dreams of making it at Celtic or even in the championship
Ambrose looks to be on his way to Bastia.

Quotes from Brendan Rodgers in the Sunday papers saying they’re speaking with Manchester City and Roberts to see if a deal can be worked out to keep the young wide attacker at Celtic next season. It doesn’t go into specifics but I imagine it would be another 12-month loan if anything.

A goal and a man of the match award for O’Connell yesterday. Two very impressive performances so far according to my usual Walsall sources.

Some talk now that Celtic still have an option to extend his contract by a year. He might not have a long term future at the club but we’ll probably trigger it.
