Killen signs for Celtic!!

Killen signs for Celtic!!

Just read on the TV One website that that Chris Killen's signed for Celtic!

What the f**k. Awesome I suppose

I thought he signed for Cardiff??

Can't see anything yet on Celtic, Cardiff, ESPN, BBC Scotland, or Sky Sports sites. . . . Have TVNZ done a first and got a fresh story? phil_style2007-05-31 13:01:47

Another article from The Scotsman newspaper http://sport.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=849512007

Will he get plenty of game time? Who is he up against for a starting spot? sanday2007-05-31 13:42:16

That is brilliant for NZ football. Killen and Nelsen playing top football. Hopefully more Kiwi's follow in their footsteps. Who are Celtics other strikers? I think Andy Hartstone (or something like that) is one of them, I think he's Welsh.

Strikers  Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink 26 (4) 18 3 1 Kjartan Henry Finnbogason

Maciej Zurawski 25 (9) 10 0 0     Kenny Miller 27 (17) 8 5 0     Derek Riordan 10 (11) 7 1 0     Cillian Sheridan 0 (2) 0 0 0     Craig Beattie 10 (10) 3 1 0     Rocco Quinn             Michael McGlinchey             Aiden McGeady 31 (15) 5 5 0  

maybe there going to have a clear out  but there are 4 regulars there already

McGlinchey is a kiwi but he plays for the scotland youth team... hopefuly killen can talk him around to us.

time will tell  ...might spend time in reserves  or on bench ..  celtic are a quality team..

he's copped a lot of criticism from supporters over here on the BBC message boards ESPECIALLY the celtic ones who see him as a poor signing

 not really,  most i've read seem to be glad he's signed, he signed for" free" on Bosman.
There's more Cardiff fans miffed about it, more than Celtic fans unhappy about it.
and with   Jan Vennegoor of  Hesselink handing in a transfer requested (rumoured to be heading to  Wigan) some Celtic fans see it as a win win for the club,  Killen may even end up starting up front in the champions league.  giddyup2007-06-01 07:25:53

Veitch had an interview with him on radio sport this morning between 7 45 an 8am.

What sort of dosh would he be on @ Celtic?

I'm really excited about Killy's move. To be playing in front of 60,000 hard core Weggies at Parkhead every second week will be amazing for him. He has shown that he can score goals in the SPL for a midtable team like Hibs, so I have no doubt he will do the same for the Hoops.

good news for him for the cash

 ooooooh, oooooh, oooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"m getting all excited - especially about the world cup qualifiers. If Killy gets starts (he has a history of being underrated then coming through), bangs in  goals (especially in Europe) and stays injury free .......... wooohooo!!!!!! I'm off to church!!!!!!!

He left a bit of a sour taste in Ridsdales mouth. Can`t blame him though. Who would most players rather play for Cardiff or Celtic. As Chris said a no brainer. Maybe that`s what Ridsdale lacks?

Reportedly $1 million per year. According to nzfootball.co.nz.

He has gone down in my estimations. He agreed personal terms with Cardiff, then went down for the medical. He spoke to the local rag, and as much as said it's a done deal.

so u guys alll gona start supporting celtic now :) and build the base up in kiwi land?

No sorry...I used to live on Easter Rd across from the stadium so the Hibees will alway be my fave SPL team.

Hope he does well though.

well why do u have a celtic fc banner?

That's what happens when managers offer fellatio instead of cash to try & get a player to sign!

What a clever b@stard!!!
