Celtic fans react to report on Olivier Ntcham

Several Celtic supporters have been giving their views on a recent report regarding midfielder Olivier Ntcham.

The 25-year-old sealed a loan move to Marseille on deadline day, however, his move caused plenty of drama at the Ligue 1 side, with Andre Villas-Boas sacked by the club after publicly criticising the transfer.

L’Equipe, relayed by Sports Witness, have recently claimed that Villas-Boas’ departure was ‘not bad news’ for Ntcham, but he’s struggled in his two displays back in France.

There’s also been conflict at Marseille following Villas-Boas’ exit, with Argentine Jorge Sampaoli now in charge.

Marseille have the option to make the move permanent in the summer, but Sports Witness led with a title on Tuesday suggesting there’s a ‘reasonable chance’ he returns to Glasgow in the summer.

We shared the report on Ntcham on our official Read Celtic Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon, adding that the midfielder hasn’t exactly made his mark in France.

This is what these Hoops fans had to say in reply, with one even labelling the player as a ‘bad egg’.

Ryan Osborne: What a mess we’re in got all sorts to fix before we can even take ourselves seriously in terms of winning the title next season

Anthony Connell: Always guaranteed he was coming back. Guy has no determination or work ethic. 

Russell Robertson: He hasn’t exactly made his mark here either

Ryan Cameron: Bad egg

Guy Nicholson: Thought he was better than he actually was, he was lazy and inconsistent with his displays, only turned up when it suited him

Kevin Modica: He never was going to

Andy Docherty: Think with a new manager set to come in and with brown maybe taking more of a backseat next season it would make sense to keep him on. He’s shown he has the ability and under a decent manager he’ll develop and improve. Good option to have

Gerry Edmonds: Lazy

Ntcham was criticised by Celtic supporters earlier this season for his performances, so the majority of these replies don’t exactly come as a surprise.
