I wouldn't put it past Eddy to miss this bus.
How did it come to pass that his carreer took such a nose dive with a bullet and he'd end up at a bog standard club like Palace who win nothin' but the annual escape from relegation?
He's getting a pay raise and will be playing with and against better players every week. This is a step up for him and if he does well at Palace he'll get another move to a bigger club again

Celtic are a way bigger club, but are hampered by a league that is a duopoly. By lack of TV money. And a general lack of ambition to have a good go in Europe.

Glad to see the back of Edouard and Christie tbh. The former has been missing sitters left, right and centre for a while now, while the latter has consistently hid in the games against Rangers.


And with Griffiths away to Dundee, it looks like the manager is getting rid of all the deadwood.

Yawn,   D7  jumps in with a dose of obvious bar stool trivia.
The point is that Eddy coulda been a contender like VVD who was highly regarded by Celtic fans and who was destined to move on to  higher things for club and country. Sure enough VVD hit the ground running and still hasn't stopped.  Eddy is carrying huge question marks  and is likely to sulk and sink at Palace unless there is a radical reversal. Once upon a time he was untouchable for Celtic and for France u21s, now he's destined to spend his time in the lower echelons of football ignominy at an unremarkable club like Palace. Truly a sad state of afffairs.

Not long go Eddy was being touted for top European clubs and for twice the amount he was sold for. He's shown a serious flaw in his character and could potentially be a turning point in his career. He'llbe living off scraps at Palace. I still think he's bucket loads of talent and was the best player in the league by a mile. Good luck to him but glad to see him gone.

Very surprised at the Christie move. I didn't realise it was Bournemouth he went too. Shite

He's moving to a league were he's going to get tested against the best players every week. What was his motivation in Scotland? He's won everything, playing against sides every weak far inferior to Celtic (except the games against Rangers) so no wonder he's unmotivated and wants a new challenge. Also VVD went to Southampton from Celtic and people were criticsing the fee Liverpool paid for him when they signed him. Would they be a bigger club than Crystal Palace? I'd consider them of similar standards, but again both at the moment would be playing at a far higher stand than Celtic and have better players.

More people watch Crystal Palace every week through the global appeal of the EPL than Celtic. Can you please expand on how you think playing in the EPL for anyone is football ignominy? Is that a typo and you actually meant the SPL? Ryan Christie would rather play in the championship in England this year than the SPL for Celtic.

You are stating opinion as if fact. Crystal palace don't have better viewing figures EVERY week the EPL has. Christie has gone to Bournemouth for money same as Edouard. Go look at YouTube hits for Edouard signing for Palace compared to Scales (from Shamrock Rovers) on Celtic TV.

More people will see him play every week. Granted they might not see Palace live every week, but how many people watch highlights shows of the weekend games  around the world?

If Christie was only interested in the money he'd have waited until the summer to leave Celtic and signed for a club on a bosman. That's were the money is. That's what Pogba is going to do this summer

Do you know how many people watch Palace highlights compared to Celtic highlights?
Most people who watch Palace who are not actual supporters will see them coincidentally.
I watch Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A highlights but pick and choose depending on who's playing,  what the score is and if there is a specific connection.
I sure has hell don't go out of the way to watch Sassuolo, Reims, Alaves or Crystal Palace.

The tv income tells you people all over the world watch the premier league (including highlights packages) In Australia we used to meet in pubs to watch their version on MOTD on a Monday evening and the pub would full of lads watching it.

Edouard scores goals for Palace and he'll gain a hell of a lot more attention than he got at Celtic. Can't have been easy to motivate yourself when you're winning every week with ease and you've won everything for 3 years in a row.

You made an unfounded statement that more people would see him every week. Still haven't actually proved it and TV income proves nothing except that clubs like Palace can outbid and pay more than the majority of European teams just because they play in EPL.
