When did we last have such a busy transfer window? All started with the announcement of Ki Sung Yueng early in the season. Most of us thought that this would probably be all we were going to get as we are not known for spending in the January window, if spending at all.
We have all been aware of our most two pressing problems this season have been defence and attack, so it is nice to see that Tony has been aware of it also. Defenders Jos Hooiveld and Thomas Rogne were then brought in, Jos looking to go right into the first team with Thomas marked as one for the future. The Danish penalty box striker Morten Rasmussen was next to appear and as we have seen he does what it says on the tin, score.
One could argue that we would have been happy with just that but Tony kept dropping hints that he wasn’t finished as yet. The press as usual were linking us with anyone who had ever kicked a football so it was quite difficult to see who would be coming next, if anyone.
Today has been quite hectic with a defender and three attackers. Dutch left back Edson Braafheid joining from Bayern Munich, striker Diomansy Kamara joining from Portsmouth, Paul Slane joining from Motherwell and the Pièce de résistance Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur.
That’s a total of Eight players, which is beyond any of our wildest dreams for this window. Way to go Celtic.
Ki Sung Yueng is a South Korean international who was voted Asian Young Footballer of the Year 2009.
Jos Hooiveld, Finnish defender of the Year: 2007, 2008 and Swedish Player of the Year: 2009.
Thomas Rogne quoted as being “the best young talent to come out of Norway in the past ten years” I don’t know if this is an omen but he has been given the number 25 shirt, previously worn by club legends Shunsuke Nakamura and Lubomir Moravcik.
Morten Rasmussen, Danish International.
Edson Braafheid, Dutch International.
Diomansy Kamara, Senegal International.
Paul Slane, future prospect.
Robbie Keane, Republic of Ireland International.
Not a bad bit of shopping if I don’t say so myself.
Hail, Hail.
