Osmand signs for Celtic. Hopefully hits the ground running at the club!
He's got a bit of hooper about him!

Was there not another 20 osmonds? ??.
{Ed007's Note - That's the Mormons for you ?

Ha Ha ED007 so now we know you are a big Donny Osmond fan lol.
{Ed007's Note - I vaguely remember they were always on TV round about either Easter or Christmas when I was very young ?

We have Andy Williams to Thank/ Blame as he first had them on his show and yes at Christmas back them the whole Osmond clan were always on tv, every year another Osmond would appear Donny then Marie until wee Jimmy made his appearance.
{Ed007's Note - You and Mrs T, full of the Lanliq & Tennants Supers jigging away to Long Haired Lover from Liverpool, like the New Year flashback episode of Still Game ??

Ha ha the wee neds on Buckie would not have been able to stomach the "Lannie" firewater was too tame a word for it
But no Mrs T liked her Babycham
Me I actually loved Newcastle Brown ale
I bet you were a secret Campari drinker ED007 ha ha.
{Ed007's Note - I was going to put Babycham or Snowballs - I knew Mrs T was a classy lady?
Buckfast was my go to choice of life ruination Timbo, Guinness and Bailey's too but when I start on the vodka that's when things got REALLY bad.}

KenLikeEh - I think that's maybe how AI could be changing the game by matching previously successful players at our club to ones plying their trade now. Osmand very much is like Hooper. The boy Inamura weirdly reminds me of Virgil. I think he anticipates the game well. However he’s obviously got room for improvement as it’s easy to look good in a highlights reel in a less demanding league. As for Nygren, first thought was Rogic.

I get what you’re saying Jambo!
It’s true the game is changing through AI etc.
The reason I matched him with Hooper was his pace, opens up his body when he shoots, got a real strikers finish, goes through the keepers legs n that sort of thing. I’m really hoping he’s the real deal as it’s no surprise Fulham are gutted he jumped ship. The PL2 is a league we should be scooping players up from every season. There are some insanely talented players in those divisions just waiting for a chance at first team football. You do see clubs on the continent poaching players from English youth teams nowadays. It’s becoming more common and we need to capitalise on that.

I've just watched footage of Osmand for the first time Ken, and Hooper ran through my mind aswell ?. Without getting carried away if this lad gets minutes he'll score goals for us. The way he whips it into top bins is pretty impressive. He's got an aggression to his play and movement and he uses his body well like Hooper.

Definetley Henke! I don’t like comparing players but when I seen him it’s instantly who I thought of!
Hooper is arguably in the top 3 strikers since Larsson for me so not one to shrug at!

The board lack ambition. Time for a change.

It's one eye on the future George. I'd like us to end up with Idah, Osmand and, dare I say it, a more marquee signing for our striker options.
