‘One question mark’ ‘really sad’ ‘farmers league’ Fulham fans react to Celtic’s Callum Osmand move

As Daniel Cummings prepares to leave Celtic for West Ham news has emerged that Callum Osmand is close to joining the hoops.

They could both possibly exchange similar stories about the glass ceiling halting their development into first team players.

Mention the Fulham Academy and Celtic fans will think of Patrick Roberts, Moussa Dembele and Matt O’Riley and say ‘next please’.

On the other hand Joey Dawson rejoined Scunthorpe yesterday while Jonathan Afolabi is now playing for Kortrijk after his Celtic development plan stalled after loan moves to Ayr, Dundee and Airdrie.

With my #FulhamFC head on, I am disappointed to see Callum Osmand go as he’d shown signs he could breakthrough.
However at nearly 20yo we have to ask the question, if the path isn’t there or are our youngsters just not as good as we think ?.

At the age of 19 Osmand has spent his entire career inside the Fulham Academy who will pick up a compensation fee from Celtic.

What next is the big question, at Celtic he is likely to find game time similar to Johnny Kenny who will surely be moving out, permanently or on loan was Osmand arrives in Glasgow.

Should a formal arrangement be made with Queens Park a loan deal to the Championship side would seem a likely move after being assessed in pre-season training with Celtic.

A run of goals for Queens Park should put him in the frame for future game time at Celtic but since the sale of Kyogo Furuhashi in January there has been the expectation that Celtic will sign a ready made first team striker.

My mate knows a few of the academy players who aren’t big fans of Silva because they know he won’t bring youth through to the first team (Josh King being the exception probably because he’s generational…)

Talents will always rise to the top and find a way. Playing real games is the sign of that. Sonny Hilton. 11 goals and 19 assists in 2021, nominated for a PL2 POTS award. He now plays for Southport.

This is the one question mark around Marco … he doesn’t trust the young players apart from pre-season. As a result we get to this point where they decide to go elsewhere. Got a feeling LDF could end up the same way as we’re still waiting on him to sign a new contract!

Young players never really get a chance, I can only think of Dembele bettinelli and carvalho to really get a run in the team, even with a shit side in the championship Pat Roberts only 5 minutes here or there

Oh man, that’s really sad. Kid shows so much promise

Fans should make up their mind. They are constantly screaming “SIGN A STRIKER” and then moan when a striker that Marco doesn’t see good enough to include in the squad wants to leave for the farmers league.
