Fram Rejkavik have accepted a bid of \u00a3100,000 for their striker Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson, and the youngster was delighted at the chance to move to Glasgow;<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes me happy to be told Celtic have reached an agreement with my club. My trials went well in Scotland and Holland but there was a special feeling around the people in Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n
He doesn’t know when he’ll arrive yet, his agent is sorting out personal terms, and security are trying to organise the ceremony when he is presented to a largely disinterested support.<\/p>\n
Which is unfortunate.<\/p>\n
The lad has scored twelve goals on twenty three games, and should be with Celtic in January. That gives him six months to get bedded in for next season, as opposed to this season when Celtic signed Balde and Pukki to replace Hooper and expected them to fire on all cylinders immediately.<\/p>\n
Whatever feelings supporters have toward Fridjonsson, he isn’t to blame for only being a \u00a3100,000 striker, and although his arrival may be met with a collective audible groan, we should welcome him to the club, and wish him luck.<\/p>\n

Down at the Daily Express, following on from their story that Joe Ledley was going to leave, comes their latest revelation;<\/p>\n
According to Adam Matthews, that is;<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has his fingers crossed that Joe will put pen to paper here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope he signs again and I\u2019m sure he will. You want all your top players\u00a0to stay and Joe is one of them. I definitely want him to stay and everyone in the dressing room does because he\u2019s a top lad off the pitch and a great player on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was very consistent when I played with him at Cardiff and he has carried on from then and got better here every season.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Daily Express is available at a newsagent near you, and it will probably still be available at tea time.<\/p>\n

Mikael Lustig has revealed he will have surgery on his hip , probably after the Barcelona game, which is roughly when Adam Matthews should be back in the side. Matthews is recovering from a broken collar bone after he was attacked by Keith Lasley, and is still waiting to hear the amount he has been awarded by the criminal injuries compensation board.<\/p>\n
Darnell Fisher has just been to the bookies, and put a shiny shilling on him making thirty appearances this season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yesterday we had Alan Pardew, Fraser Forsters former boss at Newcastle singing the big mans praises, in what was merely a desperate attempt to stave off criticism for letting the keeper move to Celtic. Incidentally, I’ve worked out \u00a0who the Tim was in yesterdays Pardew quote. It was , in fact , a misquote.<\/p>\n
” We felt that Tim had the edge ” should have been ” He ( Forster ) felt that being a Tim gave him the edge ( to progress )”<\/p>\n
Felt it was worth clarifying.<\/p>\n
Anyway, today , Barcelonas Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez has chipped in his tuppence worth;<\/p>\n
\u201cFraser is a keeper who is good with his feet. He is a complete player and it will be difficult to score against him.”<\/p>\n
He should know, I guess<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Away from tabloid jingoism, there is a decent article in the Guardian about Forster, Celtic and the England team;<\/p>\n
