Celtic announced two exciting contract extensions for academy players today, but the fact Karamoko Dembele wasn’t amongst them remains a concern. It was a nice bit of news that supporters have needed, with many long-term concerns about the club. From recruitment to our academy, the club have under-performed in 20-21.

If he doesn’t sign b4 windows end, then we can kiss goodbye to him playing for First team till he does. Neil doesn’t want players in the first team who don’t want to be at Celtic, he showed that first time round and again now with different players. I just don’t get the Edouard situation, he’s not been interested in playing for us this season but he’s a first pick?
In fairness to Lenny, he’s spoken about Karamoko’s application (or lack thereof) on the training pitch. I think the manager doesn’t seem him as physically ready for first-team football as yet.
RE: Edouard, it’s been difficult for him. The midfield shape has changed consistently over the course of the season and that changes how he’s getting the ball. Definitely see your point though!

Only time will tell with Dembele, if he goes on to have a great career though it will be another stain on the record of the manager.
Kennyb34, If his big brother comes to us as a left winger, he might just grow up? but I do doubt both playing for Celtic. He’s the only one who can be blamed for his lack of interest not Neil.
