He is very consistent. 2 goals in 10 games.

Did he turn up to your weans birthday party or something?

If you can't see that he's out of form thats on you. Everyone else can see it.

Thankfully Rodgers won't think "well Griffiths scored 40 goals in a season that I wasn't even here in" when selecting his team. He'll look at current form - and on current form Griff hasn't done enough. Edouard today has earned the right to get a run of games in Dembele's absence.
Griffiths will start on Tuesday and until Moussa is fit he'll be our first choice striker. There is no way he's getting dropped to make way for this lad. Not a chance.
Have you seen Brendans comments about Edouard tonight?

I wouldn't be so sure.

Quote:
 
"Young Odsonne was top class. Take away his goals and his overall game was at a really high level," Rodgers said.

"He scored three goals, could have had five, he was absolutely exceptional.

"I felt we needed more mobility at the top end of the field, we were a wee bit static the other night [in a 1-1 draw at Motherwell]. I felt his speed and movement could hurt their centre-halves, in front of them and in behind.

"This boy is a great mover, he's flexible, his touch is good and when it's played up to him, he's strong.

"He could have been playing a long time ago but you have to respect the other boys [strikers Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths] and how they've performed.

"He's kept plugging away in training, he's getting better in training and you see his quality today. His touch, his movement to create a goal for James.

"For a kid that's hardly played, he lasted the 90 minutes and that's testament to his fitness and his work-rate. He's an outstanding player that's been unfortunate not to be involved as much, but he took his chance today."

Let's not go overboard with one good performance leave that to the Sevconians, the boy was outstanding today but was poor in his last cameo . We need to see more of him and I'm sure we will. For now let's just say he's looking very promising. I'm sure Rodgers will know what's best to progress the raw talent that he is.

Yeah it is. Griff has been great for us and he's before Edouarde. Consistent versus one game.

Only the second time I have seen him play and he was excellent today.

Has pace and not too shabby in the air either. His second goal was a very clever finish, threaded it into the net. Great option to have.

I thought he was brilliant in his debut and since then has had very little playing time. Always hard to come on and make an impact.

Midweek he didnt look ready to come on and it was all reactionary to Well going 1-0 up. He had a few poor touches but also a few quality touches as well. He's a player.

7-9m based on different reports.

I think we would probably get him for less than that if we wanted. His comments today that he wants to stay at Celtic for as long as possible helps us out in that regard. PSG might hold out for as much as they can get to help with FFP but I doubt it.
If a fee was agreed as part of the loan deal then I doubt there is much room for either side to negotiate on price. It will just come down to whether we want him, whether he wants to come and whether we are willing to pay the price. So in a nutshell it depends on the whether!!!

For me he made himself our number 2 striker today.

Griffiths form has been patchy and if someone comes in and bangs in a hat trick they deserve to keep the jersey. Unfortunately for Leigh I think he's going to be left behind - Edouard looks very similar to Dembele in that he has everything required to be a top top player.
Eh?? The guy has played one full game ffs. Griff is No2
He's now a serious option.

You wouldn't start him without Griffiths or Dembele on the bench though.

Half a week ago he was pish.

Maybe folk should stop writing players off based on cameos and stop - start seasons through injury or circumstances.

Nearly everybody in that team today has been written off at some point (not saying I haven't done it either). We need improvements to make an impact in Europe but we've got some cracking players in a side that always gives 100%. That's all you ask.

Great performance from him today.

Id start him v Anderlecht. Pace, height, power and just off a hat trick. Well deserved. If it doesn't work can bring Griff on.

Always room for negotiation in the summer. The deal probably is that we can activate the buy-out clause whilst his loan contract with us is still on-going.

You're right that if we sign him it will probably be for the agreed fee but the fee seems fairly high for a player who hasn't started many games. I think the fee was set at that in case he came in and battered everything in sight (which he still might do).

Considering retirement

There was some numpties writing him off on Wednesday’s post match thread aswell :lol:

Thought in his limited game time that he looked a player and he showed it today. Not only with his goals but his overall play too. There’s something about the way he controls the ball and moves that looks very difficult to defend against.

There’s an argument to start him on Tuesday as he’ll feel on top of the world.

Could be Dembele’s ready made replacement.

We'd be breaking our transfer record but it could be worth it for the stability. Dembele will go for 25 million or so, if Edouard keeps playing like that then it's a no brainer. The cure to a potentially massive headache.
