That was mainly because we have a hapless useless Norwegian as coach. No doubt everyone in Norway had had plenty of practice playing against Ronny's teams as they probably played exactly the same way every time

Welcome to Celtic Big Yin Never want a new signing to have anything but the most fantastic time here with US, the most patient, understanding, empathic, and forgiving set of supporters on the planet. Cynical meNoo thats you telt, kick the granny oot the rest o the midfield, pump RD's missus until yer a first team regular and there will be a song aboot ye before ye find oot Collum is a carrot and the huns have had more reincarnations than the Dalai Lama. Now I don't want to see him play every game and burn out in a season but be developed and nurtured, and educated into our club and culture. I want to see him get lean and mean cos he is not starting every game. I want to see him squaring up to Broony and showing the captain that he has a pair and he will take on anybody to get in to the team and stay there. I want to see commitment and perseverance and a smile on his coupon when he wears the hoops. How will I judge him??? When he is good enough to demonstrate that the shirt fits and he needs a bigger size to go with a renewed contract. Lastly I want him to any hun he meets |

Aye and he just moved to Scotland where he's up against Neymar, Lahm, Pogba and Greg Tansey. FFS - are you really so arrogant as to write off a full nation of footballers like that? That's ridiculous. The quality of anyone else who came before him from Norway does not matter - it's how this kid can play himself. To write anyone off because of the league they come from or their nationality is pretty poor. Besides, presuming you're too arrogant to have ever watched a minute of football in Norawy before, it's of a rising standard and has been for a while, and they certainly aren't diddies. As QA said, a 'diddy' team from Norway ran all over us and I feel fairly confident they would have done so to the same team that played them that night regardless of the manager. They were a very good team across all six games. |

I am really excited with this signing. Ajer has been wanted by bigger clubs than Celtic for a good while. He was in Roma on trial in december 2014 and was also wanted on trial at Liverpool and Tottenham. He demonstrated back then that he is a boy who dont believe in short cuts or thinks he is better than he is. 16 years old he said a move to Roma was not an option, he would rather develope further in the Norwegian league and then go abroad with more experience to a team where he can improve further and be a contender for first team football. He is a defensive midfielder who scored 8 goals in 30 games for the team that ended 3rd from bottom last year. I welcome this signing and know he will be a great player here. |

The whole parading thing has become a bit of a joke from all clubs. Think we take the biscuit though, with not being just content with parading actual signings, we are even parading other teams players we only have on loan. Then throw out the same paragraph with only the name being different. |

I got goosebumps > >> the first time I played for Start in Norway. This will be very different. 'I'm quite emotional as I've fulfilled one of my big dreams' Ajer: 'My parents always said I need to keep my feet on the ground and don't assume I'm better than everybody else, I have to prove myself' Ajer: 'I'm coming to Celtic where probably nobody have heard about me. I have to show that I can play. Deila to @fvn_no: 'I've followed him (Ajer) the whole way. He played against us at Strømsgodset, him on one team, Martin Ødegaard on other' Deila on Ajer: 'I knew he was a good lad with excellent attitude. That's important, you need it to handle the pressure in a club like this' Deila on Ajer: 'If we had waited to the summer (to get him on a free), we wouldn't have got him - somebody else would have snapped him up' Deila on Ajer: 'He'll be part of first team squad straight away.

In yesterday´s Nettavisen (my translation): http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/ajer-etter-solskjr-stikk---bryr-meg-lite-om-hva-folk-sier-og-mener/3423194277.html “Ajer on dig from Solskjær: - Cares very little about what people say or think The youngster denies that he went after the money when he chose Celtic before Molde. LA MANGE (nettavisen): On question from TV2 about Ajer´s transfer, the Molde manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær said: - If depends what he´s after. Best possible development or other things. We could have developed him at Molde, Molde were according to TV2 willing to pay 5 millions (Norwegian krones) for the talent. - I think we are at least as good as Celtic, and Tippeliagen is at least as good as the Scottish league. So we will just have to talk note of that the boy was advised to do something else than we had hoped for, Solskjær continued. - Typical When Nettavisen meets Ajer in La Manga Friday, the youngster confirms that he has seen the quotes from Solskjær. - I saw that. There are many other clubs that are better than Molde at developing players, so that´s not something I´m thinking about, Ajer tells Nettavisen. - He suggests that you went after the money? - That´s a bit typical if they want to have a dig. I know how my contract looks like and I know by myself which plans I have. What people say and think, I couldn´t care less about. But Solskjær is a very good manager, so that probable came out a bit wrong, says the 17 years old. Solskjær received massive critics in social media after his statement. - Solskjær hopeless about Ajer when he more than suggests that the youngster is only going after the money. Whiny and patronizing. I though he was sympathetic, tweeted Lesse Vangsten, former press chief at Vålerenga. - Huffy and whiny, tweeted Dagbladet journalist and Start supporter Lars Martin Gimse. But Ajer believes the explanation may be that Solskjær worded himself a bit wrong. - Maybe he said something that was taken out of connection. It´s not something I give much of a thought. Gave his agent a clear message In fact the money means so little to Ajer that he gave his agent Tore Pedersen a clear message when interests started to come up. “Forget about the money, find me a club that want to invest in me”. - Tore has been fantastic and I need to thank him a lot. He has done a fantastic job. We early agreed on that the money means nothing, I need to focus on developing and get to a club where they believe in me. I really hope they do that at Celtic and it was never an option to go to an academy in Premier League or the Bundesliga, although I could have earned more money there, Ajer says. - I´m 17 years old and I´m aiming at becoming as good a footballer as possible, and then the money will come later, he insists. The youngster describes it as “most delightful” that things were finally sorted out with Celtic. Several big clubs have shown interest the last year, but according to The Scotsman, Ajer chose Celtic before seven other clubs. - There has been a lot to choose from, but my opinion has always been that development is the most important. Then I regard Celtic as the absolute best option, and it is a huge club. Next year the stadium will be packed when Rangers are back up and that is something I´m really looking forward to. To run out there, in front of so many crazy fans; there´s not much in football that beats that, he says. Deila wanted to put Ajer at display He appreciated being in Glasgow and have a taste of what waits him in few months. - It was fantastic to be there. I had a very good stay there one month ago and I was very well received and performed well. I only got good feedback and this is something I have wanted all the time, says Ajer. - How did you feel it went on the trainings you took part in? It went incredible well. Ronny wanted me to come and present myself for the rest of the coaching staff. He knew already what I stand for, but wanted the assistants and the others to get their own impressions of me. To see me performing well was positive for the rest of the stab, he says. - Deila wanted to prove that your passport was not the only reason why he wanted you? - Of course. Ronny is a very good manager and it is important to him that the others agree on his decisions, he says. Believes Deile will remain at Celtic Deila is under a lot of pressure and the fans who call for a new manager are increasing in numbers. Ajer admits that he has considered the thought that Deila might not be the manager when he goes there in the summer. - Of course, but he is a very good manager who is trusted both by the players and the administration and I feel sure about that he will stay. But you can never take anything for granted; managers come and go. But I´m counting on that he´s still there when I come, says the 17 years old. - Did you get the impression that Celtic have plans for you independent on who the manager is? - Now I´m a Celtic player and will join the A-squad, and then it depends solely on how I preform. If I do well - which is my plans, I´m going to develop and get playing time. That is what´s important. It´s a step up but Celtic are playing a lot of matches and I will get my chances, he things. At Celtic, he probable will compete with big Nir Bitton, who has taken huge steps under Deila. Bitton is maybe one of Celtic´s best players right now. - He is a fantastic player and I only see it as positive that I can learn a lot from him. I will study him in trainings, Ajer promises. - You are similar as types? - Yes, we are both tall and lanky, he jokes. (…) The diet is very important for Ajer. He never eats candies and never drinks soda. Every day he tries at get at least 10 hours sleep. - The details are what´s important. I try to utilize my time and this I will continue doing at Celtic. - Are you still doing self-training? - I have never stopped doing that. I love to train. I will keep on doing that in La Mange; I will keep on doing that the half year I´ve got left at Start and I will keep on doing that for the rest of my life, he insists. Then it´s no wonder you become good. And then it´s not strange than big clubs like Celtic give you a call. (…)” Edited by Norwegian plastic, 20 Feb 2016, 03:10 PM.
