Any update on the Eboue work permit? From the noises the club are making, it's gone to appeal and they're completely confident it'll go through but what's the normal timescale for this? Another day or two?

Apparently it's finalised that's why eboue is travelling back to Russia to sort himself out before moving to Glasgow. Another day or two before the official signing.

This is only what I've heard tho so might be a bit of Chinese whispers going on!

BR is talking the boy up a fair bit, sounds like an exciting player.

Havn't really seen the boy much, but I wanted a ball winning CM, particularly for Europe where the turnover of possession is so important. Getting him in now, up and running will be ideal. The fact he can supposedly play a bit too is a bonus.

Just reading some comments from his agent there though. Whilst I fully accept the reality of it all, I'm not a fan of him saying that we're a stepping stone - before he's even kicked a ball! You just keep your head down Kouassi and remember you have to earn those moves by giving this team 100%.

Big wanyama said the same if a remember right Jim. It's the way they see it mate n it's probably how celtic put it to them, there should be someone from pr telling them how to word it tho cos it's not so endearing.

Would rather have an honest player than a badge kisser

Of course we are a stepping stone for players if they want to make it to the top eboue like wanyama not only wants to play in the champions league but maybe have a chance of winning it some day I for one have no issue with that providing they earn their moves by being successful with the hoops first.

See he has aspirations to become better than Pogba. The last player I remember likening himself to a player of that caliber and talking about us as a stepping stone was Mo Bangura

I agree Digi, but it was his agent and not himself mind. I think that's what I didn't like.

Like I said I accept it's just the way it goes, but you might be right Steph, we might put it to young players like that. Almost a usp of our business model.

its an agents job to sell players, then sell them again, and again and again.

so we are miffed at an agent. doing his job? (ie prepping for is next next move! )

they are lowlifes and don't care about football - just the $$$ but we have to get real and just accept that its part of our beautiful game now

my point was digi that he hasn't even kicked a ball for us yet, you can expect that crap a season in but even before he's signed? that's just taking the piss.
