A ROMAN IN THE GLOAMIN

July 15, 2008 - Daily Hun Newsdesk

A pale and clearly exhausted Peter Lawwell is expected to emerged this morning at an impromptu press conference, to announce the signing of Gabriel Tamas for Celtic for a fee not far shy of 5 million pounds.

An ashen faced Lawwell will no doubt be tetchy and visibly irked by the nature of some of the questions posed by a posse of Scottish journalists.

It is clear that Celtic’s chief executive has been forced to pay way above the odds for what is obviously a player with loads of potential, but a history of bizarre temperamental behaviour.

This is clearly no angel Gabriel and yet the biscuit tin has been prised open to secure the signing of the man from Transylvania.

Bobo Balde, Celtic’s own version of Dracula has sucked the club dry to the extent, that he has been jettisoned by Lawwell in a last desperate bid to lower the wage bill. After having raped the Glasgow club down the years, there will be very few tears shed for the crude and at times brutal African.

Robert Mugabe is known to have been tracking Balde’s progress carefully with a view to offering him a job.

When we think of Romania, we tend to think of asylum seekers, beggars, immigrants, feckless foreigners, so perhaps upon reflection Celtic Park is the appropriate destination for the injury prone central defender.

With another Romanian Rat poised to sign, Celtic has sent out a clear message.
