Do any Celtic fans actually want Liverpool reject “Hara-Kiri” Kewell?

In times of yore, armies laying siege to a well-fortified citadel would occasionally resort to catapulting rotten plague-infected corpses over the city walls. In a modern day homage to this, Liverpool have lobbed craptastic cripple Harry Kewell over Hadrian’s Wall and towards Glasgow. Thankfully, for Celtic fans, Gordon Strachan appears to be having cold feet:
“The prospect of Kewell teaming up with his compatriot, Scott McDonald, at Celtic Park might offer a potential increase in commercial revenue from merchandising back in Australia but Kewell’s injury-plagued five years at Anfield, after signing from Leeds United in 2003, is scaring off suitors. In addition, Celtic have had their fingers burnt in recent seasons by big-money acquisitions, such as Thomas Gravesen, from Real Madrid, who have failed to deliver.” (Times)
Would anyone really roll out the red carpet at Celtic Park for this footballing plague victim?

Kewell is a self-interested jerk. After himself he thinks then of the Socceroos and only thirdly does he consider the team who are paying his wages. Undoubtedly blessed with great talent he just doesn’t show it - either through endless injuries (which he only overcomes in time for European Champions League finals before succumbing again) or petulant bookings.
Leeds and Celtic fans look to players who have an affection for the club - look at the way former great players are feted at each club, but Harry Kewell will never appear in the Pantheon of Leeds greats and he won’t do so at Celtic either. Hopefully Strachan still knows a few of the Leeds staff who can put him right about Hairy Cruel… Celtic aren’t blessed with the ridiculous Sky money so I doubt they can afford the £153K per game that he cost Liverpool after he jumped ship from Elland Road. If Celtic have that sort of money to waste they could give to Gretna and save the face of Scottish football.
Anyway good luck to Gordon and Celtic next season, with or without the Aussie Sicknote.

UR AN IDIOT, hARRY KEWELL IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE FOR THE SCOTTISH TEAM, harry still delivers a nice ball from the left, he has great feet, vision and a killer shot. he has experience at the top level of European football. and offcourse he will have a pay cut, but if this guy is able to get a good sring of games together then watch out. and by the way all you critising his pay,
ARNT lIVERPOOL THE IDIOTS FORPAYING HIM ALL THIS MONEY
why is everyone getting angry at Harry for being paid well simply because a club was prepared to do so.

Kewell isn’t Scottish, and this wouldn’t be a “big-money acquisitions” as he’s available on a free. The only thing they would have to negotiate is his outrageous wage demands and how many more doctors they would have to employ. But if he can stay fit for half the season he definetely has the quality to make a positive impact.

Harry Kewell has the talent to play in any of the best sides in the world, yes hes been injured a fair bit, but dont discount his talents, every1 has seen what he can do. A fit Harry Kewell can benefit any team and could cost very little to a top team, if he can get fit then look out.

Kewell was on 75k a week with liverpool. He is 30 years old and hasnt skipped past any premiership defences in nearly 3 years. He isnt Kewell ala Leeds. He is Kewell ala Liverpool. Ageing, Injury-prone and passionless. If a decent player cant take a pay cut and play well at the 5 Times european champions, then he wont be playing with a Celtic heart for the Bhoys either. He could..if bothered play well for Celtic as he still has quality…but he doesnt use his head anymore. Simply cannot be bothered. Biggest waste of our time as supporters. And not one of the players turned up to his party to say Ta’ra because he was a Spice Boy of the highest order! Managed to bag OK mag before he left tho. So hell be sound for another Humvee to peruse on MTV Cribs! £34 a game and you take the piss out of us. Thanks Harry.

Think people need to lay off Harry, Hes a talented player. If (we) Celtic can have a player whos at a club in Englands top 4 then hes good enough for me i say, He may have to take a pay cut but first team football and champions league can persuade him, Go on Strachan do your job right and snap him up in our bid for 4 in a row.

It’s a toughy. I’ve loved Kewell ever since the 06 world Cup. Playing as a striker he impressed and the Aussie If he got over the injuries and we got rid of the bobo and Grave combo he would be covered over wages but then again it’s risky we can’t offord another Graveson. But Kewell is different from Graveson. He will Know he needs to prove his worth but Graveson just has a bad attitude and will leave Celtic with a bad taste in it’s mouth. Kewell is a good player when he’s fit and a class player when he’s completely 100% and thats why he played for Leeds and Liverpool. Hope he comes but Gordons going to have to ask his Phyisio’s to give him a reall big medical if they agree a contract. come to celts Kewell and this time bring you’re big boy boots!
