\u201cWhen people are scoring goals in Scotland it does grab people\u2019s attention but it\u2019s a different kettle of fish in the Premier League and obviously when you\u2019re playing Celtic, you\u2019re gonna have the lion\u2019s share of the ball but in the Premier League, it\u2019s going to be a lot tougher\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf they believe he can succeed in the Premier League then I\u2019m all for it as they certainly have enough players in the team who can create chances, it\u2019s just about him finishing them off\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCeltic potentially will be interested (if \u00a320m bid tabled) as they\u2019d think oooo, as with Celtic and Rangers, they know if they sell a player for \u00a320million they can then look around Scottish football, cherry-pick the centre-forward who is better than the rest, whatever team that may be, and know full well they could go in with \u00a310million and get that centre-forward\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s like a conveyor belt as there\u2019s no problem replacing them\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n He then went on to cite several examples of Scottish strikers stepping into the shoes of recently departed Celtic strikers…oh wait, he didn’t.<\/p>\n The last one I can think of is Brian McClair, who replaced Charlie Nicholas.<\/p>\n It’s unlikely Edouard will move to Crystal Palace, as he’s said to want to move to a club he’s heard of.<\/p>\n When he eventually does go, that is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apart from anything else, Oddsone Edouard is the only striker on the books at Celtic with a realistic chance of playing for the first team. Despite a wave of wishful thinking, whatever demons are haunting Leigh Griffiths appear to be hanging around longer than most people thought, and there is little chance of him featuring anytime soon.<\/p>\n Maryan Shved is capable of filling in, as is Scott Sinclair, but one is on his way out and the other hasn’t fully settled yet.<\/p>\n Lewis Morgan may end up with his mentor Jack Ross at Easter road for a while, as the word is that Celtic want to extend the loan of Daniel Arzani, as the manager reckons he’s got something.<\/p>\n And it’s not brittle bone syndrome,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eboue Kouassi, another shining example of Brendan Rodgers knack of finding players who can do a job for Celtic, is said to have asked his agent to find him another club, prompting his agent to furiously tap his name into google to find out who he is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over the next six months or so, there will be a gradual introduction to the first team squad of younger players who the manager feels have the hunger to add to the experience of the regulars to push Celtic to the ninth succesive title and even further honours this season.<\/p>\n Jeremie Frimpong has already surprised and delighted supporters and will almost certainly have made the right back slot his own by May.<\/p>\n He’s ahead of schedule, whilst Luca Connell and Lee O’Connor are coming along just nicely, and the latter especially is another who will be introduced gradually before establishing himself in the back line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n O’Connor recently shone for Ireland in his debut against New Zealand, prompting praise from Mick McCarthy who had enough faith in the lad to play him despite him not yet starting for Celtic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the January window soon to open, it’s perhaps not so much about spending money, David Turnbull apart,\u00a0 \u00a0as it is about letting one or two continue their careers elsewhere, with the notable exception of buying a striker.<\/p>\n This is harder than it may seem.<\/p>\n Celtic still favour playing one up front, which means whoever comes in will be understudy to Edouard, and anyone looking in may take into account the demise of Griffiths, and although there are reasons for that, it will be taken into consideration by those who are offered a deal.<\/p>\n The lack of opportunities afforded to Greg Taylor will discourage anyone from within Scotland, and perhaps we should bear that in mind when we end up with Lawrence Shankland, who in all fairness is probably the best option, especially as it will annoy the hordes south of the river who will be hoping at least some of the Morelas millions will be spent on the Dundee United man.<\/p>\n There will, however, be a couple of strikers we haven’t yet heard of on the mamagers shopping list, who will be young and ambitious enough to bide their time as part of a development programme.<\/p>\n If they are of similar quality to Frimpong and O’Connor, then we will be fine.<\/p>\n Mohammed Daramy, for instance, is a name that springs to mind…<\/p>\n Daramy joined\u00a0F.C. Copenhagen<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Hvidovre IF<\/a>\u00a0as a U14 player.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He had the opportunity to join both Copenhagen and\u00a0Br\u00f8ndby IF<\/a>, but ended up choosing Copenhagen.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0At the age of 15, Daramy was already the topscorer of the U17 squad at\u00a0F.C. Copenhagen<\/a>, which earned him a contract extension in October 2017 until 2020.[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He ended up scoring 18 goals in 26 games in the 2017\/18 season, making him the fifth most scoring player in that season in the U17 league.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n At the age of 16 years and 263 days, Daramy became the youngest ever player to score for\u00a0F.C. Copenhagen<\/a>. The goal came in his official debut for the club in a\u00a0Danish Cup<\/a>\u00a0game against Viby.[5]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Afterwards, there where rumors about several clubs that was scouting on Daramy, but especially\u00a0RB Leipzig<\/a>\u00a0was rumored to be interested in the player.[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0But Copenhagen didn’t seem to want to let him go and put his price tag on 5 million euros. Daramy went out to the medias and said, that he yet didn’t knew whether he would stay or not.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n However, he decided to stay at the club and in March 2019 it was rumored, that he was about to sign a contract extension with a much higher salary, although there was a bid ready from a unknown club on about 5 million euros.[8]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He got his\u00a0Danish Superliga<\/a>\u00a0debut on 12 February 2019 against\u00a0AC Horsens<\/a>. Daramy replaced\u00a0Dame N’Doye<\/a>\u00a0in the 77th minute.[9]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0On 31 March 2019, Daramy scored his first goal in the\u00a0Danish Superliga<\/a>. Daramy got the chance from start in the absence of\u00a0Robert Skov<\/a>\u00a0who was out with an injury, and scored the 1-0 goal for Copenhagen, which ended up being the winning goal.[10]<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n On 3 April 2019, Daramy officially signed his first professional contract with Copenhagen until the end of 2021.[11]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Beside that, he was also permanently promoted to the first team squad.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He has caught the eye of several big clubs, but the progress enjoyed by Moussa Dembele and Oddsone Edoaurd at Celtic recently may well turn his head towards Glasgow…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Look, it’s either that or Sam Cosgrove.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’ll soon be AGM time, and whilst I would never try to encourage people how to use their vote, I would like to propose reading the Fans Without Scarves articles on the shennanigans of Scottish football, as well as this one, from Two hundred per cent on the Saracens scandal in England, and how and why it relates to our own game with a rounder ball up here..<\/p>\n
