The Elhamed signing has been completed.
Lenny said he was recommended by Bitton and Kayal so hopefully he is a success.
I have been critical of the player but now he has signed, I will get right behind him and welcome him to our fantastic club.
It's good to have a player who can play multiple positions and he should settle in well with Bitton to help him.

{Ed007's Note - Oh well if Bitton & Kayal recommended him 👍 Was that before or after Peter and Dudu (who is also Bitton & Kayal's agent) had agreed the deal (work-permit permitting) even though not one person from the footballing side of Celtic had seen Elhamed play? After finding out the price and a couple of showreel videos Pedro was hooked and reeled in - again.}

It's a bit underwhelming on the face of it replacing a Swedish International fans-favourite, with a 'Who's he? ' but time will tell if it's another Gamboa or even Telfer and I wish him well.
Although, I hope the other signings possibly still to come are a wee bit more 'high profile' quality and we've at least heard of them?

Fae videos I've seen he's rapid and can pass the ball well but I will hold judgement till I see him.
People seem to have more of a problem with this player because of who his agent is than anything else.

{Ed007's Note - It's because of Dahan's history with deals like Kazim-Richards and why we seem so keen to snap up his clients without doing the proper ground work. Most of his clients we've signed have either been a disaster or split the support.}

Personally think he was bought as he can cover the two positions, would be surprised if we shell out for another CB now.

The guy looks decent, tall and physical (which Lustig wasnt) as well as having a decent turn of pace. He will have Kent/ Ojo/ Next Liverpool Loanee in his back pocket in the next game against The Rangers.

{Ed007's Note - So you think he's going to be our first choice RB?}

Mally he has been announced as a right back mate.
Was just talking to a Israeli guy that follows the team he came from on Celtics Facebook page. Guy said he's a beast of a player. Said he's gutted he's away.

Also said he hasn't always been a centre back that covers right back and that it was only last few seasons he's really became more of a CB. Apparently he spent most of his time on the right between right wing and right back.

I hope you're spot on Kev, would be good to start the season with confidence about the position.

Is the point about needing a RB for two years not we buy a fecking RB? Going cheap for a jack if all to save a few bob has Lawells DNA all over it. We need another one anyway so hopefully we spend a bit on a recognised one.

Oh and Boli is a nightmare. The first three of Lenny’s signings the first time round were absolute rubbish. Boli is certainly looking in that class so far. He needs to shape up it that’s about £5m at least right down the rubbishr.

Ed007, NL in media saying he watched him during last 4-5 games of last season and he is a natural RB. If he says he seen him play and u say he hasn't is he talking video footage only?

{Ed007's Note - I'd have thought Lennon would know how many times he's flown back and forward from Israel to watch games so it must be video footage.}

I read the opposite and that he has barely played at RB. Who knows though. Will reserve judgement until I see him but if he can pass, has pace and is strong and physical that will do for me.
