Marvin Compper; So good that he exists on an etheric plane far beyond that of Scottish football

Hint of jealousy in that article from KC.

He wasn’t fit or dynamic enough to play in a BR team. Doesn’t mean all 30 something’s are the same.

NEW Celtic signing Marvin Compper has revealed he decided to sign for the Hoops because he was so impressed with Brendan Rodgers’ attention to detail during a breakfast meeting.

The Parkhead side splashed out £1 million on the 32-year-old defender from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

And Compper revealed Rodgers persuaded him to sign for Celtic after breakfast at his house, after he knocked back offers from other German clubs, with Hoops head of recruitment, Lee Congerton, influential in the deal.

He said: “Brendan Rodgers invited me to his home for breakfast.

“There was a wonderful family atmosphere.

“There was cereal, fruit and lactose-free dairy products – because he had previously inquired about my dietary habits.

Compper watched Celtic’s win over Partick Thistle from the stands

“Rodgers is purposeful and has hierarchies in the team. I like that.

“Three weeks ago I heard about the interest.

“And I was amazed and proud that I was on the list of such a big club.

“Lee Congerton also played a big role.

“He wanted to bring me to Hamburg under sporting director Frank Arnesen five years ago.

“There was contact with another Bundesliga club, but Celtic was the first choice.

“Finances never had any influence on me – I would never have gone to China.

“At Fiorentina, I once reached a Cup Final and we were runners-up in the league with RB Leipzig.

“But I have never won any titles in my career and that’s why I came to Celtic. I will work hard to win the league.

“I’ll fly to Glasgow next week to look at houses and my family are planning to move in March.”

I think this guy will be exactly what we need. Experienced at a very high level and seem like a leader.

Really looking forward to seeing him play.

Kris Commons.

What a fat fud, he's the new Andy Walker - but fatter & more stupid.

Remember he was going to be a coach, or continue his playing career, or get into media... I suppose, he knows where to get his soup. :doh:

He was good in line of duty but I'm not sure he's tall enough to be a centre half

He's definitely a good tim though

but there has been speculation that Celtic could let Sviatchenko, 32, leave in January.
Not even close.

Some great insights from Commons there, especially "Compper is 32, going on 33."

Do these former players actually contribute anything other than their names to these articles?
