Welcome to the club.....Milan Misun
I know fuck all about him

and before any of you cock suckers say it, I know its already been mentioned!

No I dont, that sorts out my next 30 mins surfing though. As someone said earlier must be decent with the other higher placed teams interested.

I posted this on another thread earlier but this was the feedback from my mate who is a Celtic fan -

We signed him a couple of years ago and at the time it was a big deal as he was genuinely considered one of the best talents in europe.......but he hasnt lived up to his potential as much as we hoped, played a couple of times for the first team last season but was never going to break into the team so its a good move for him and the Robins I would say........he could be a good player for you if he wants to be......up to him really!

Is his surname pronounced like Bison anyone know?

Oh, an actual done deal. Good stuff!

Nice one Milan, Nice one Misun...

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

He looks hard as fuck.

Here's hoping he lives up to the hype.

G'wan Misun

Apparently AC Milan wanted to sign him- that could be a piss take though

6 figure fee apparently.

You are Misun shine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take Misun shine away.

Genius I know.

 :clap:

£1000.01?

Agreed, I like that.

 :no:

I know this sounds a bit daft, but don't we have a lot of centrebacks all of a sudden? Frampton, Cuthbert, Flint, Lecsinel, Misun, Evans...does this mean Flint is going back to Alfreton on loan? Lescinel is off to Swansea? Evans off at the end of the year?

I wouldnt be surprised to see JFL go, and I for one think we should cash in

Frampton is good but injury prone. Cuthbert is totally out of form, lecs is lecs.. all of a sudden the options lessen IMO.

your right it sounded daft.

We have 1 centre back (Cuthbert), 1 injury worry (Frampton), 1 hothead soon to leave (Lecs), 2 promising youngsters likely not to play (Flint & Misun) and 1 no-hoper who will be off loaded in the summer (Evans).  

All in all I would be happy if Wilson signed another older centre back, let Flint back out on loan and then take good money for Lecs if it's offered.

Oh...and sign some bloody strikers Wilson!!!!

Singing wont help us find one..

I'm pretty sure we haven't paid 100k+ each for Flint and Misun not to play.

quick but not quick enough!!  :clap:

I'm looking forward to seeing a starting eleven of defenders  :toocool:

True, but did you know that Vince played for Juventus ;)

Worked OK for George Graham at Arsenal

Building from the back.  I like it.  Exciting nil nil draws are the way forward!

I was, but you reacted pretty quickly to be fair, and now I look an idiot....again.

We could play Lescinel up front. He takes the piss most of the time, may as well be in front of the opposition's goal.

Browsing through some Celtic forums I found that most fans there were gutted to see Milan Misun leave. He only played pre-season games for them, but the ones that saw him said he looked very solid and good. They thought it was a shame that he hadn't been tested in the SPL, and now he's OURS!

Great play, Swindon! I have a good gut feelin' about this deal, actually!

(Although he spent the whole of last season on the sideline with ligament injury)

I think the STFC Facebook page might be full of all the mongs from Thisis......This new lad hasn't got a hope in hell, judging by some of the responses on there! Fuckin' dickheads.....

Any links? I couldn't find anything earlier. (although I did crack the beers open early)

http://www.facebook.com/

HAHAHA F***in' brilliant!

http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/celtic-chat/97095-misun-gone.html

can we get Celtic to vote Sonny?

When's our next reserve team game?

Would love to see Misun and Flint team up as centre backs - tall, lanky, strong defenders!

love it  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

He sounds like he could be decent, the celtic fans as a rule don't praise crap.

I actually don't get it?

Welcome to the club, Milan

I cannot take full credit for this but......Czech out our defence now!

:doh:

Do it his great aunt works in the celtic shop by queen st station

Why? I know nothing about facebook, never been on there, so not getting the joke I'm afraid.

What Celtic-fans have said about Milan Misun on a Celtic forum after pre-season 2010:

"After watching him yesterday i think he should play Centre Half rather than Left back he looked amazing, Pace, Strength, Determination, good in the Air and has good positioning i think. whats everones opinions"

"he defenitly caught my eye yesterday , he was MOTM on celtics official website "

"Thought he was superb last night. He's got some amount of pace for a big man, something we've not had a CB for a while. For me the pecking order has changed coz Misun, Rogne and Hooiveld have overtaken the first picks from last year"

"Great game last night, really looking forward to seeing him break through this year."

"when he joined he played about 9/10 games in the reserves, all at centre back and he was impressive, then played left back in australia and got injured for a year, he returned against phillie at left back and didnt do so well, and then yesterday he returned to centre back and was great"

I HAVE A GREAT FEELING ABOUT THIS GUY!  :nod:

may be if we all unite and say the same sort of thing about Lesh, Swansea will actually buy him from us?

 :jester:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/7783307.stm

2008 link.....he had a trial at AC Milan by all accounts.

Sounds like injury set him back.....but he does look to have some pedigree...fairly pleased with this signing.

This is spooky, I've never even taken a look at him in the game

No, it's pronounced Meesun.

you not downloaded a skin yet? spice it up abit

I've decided that NorwayRed is the new Gary Stanley.

I wondered this, would it be maybe be Mee-shun? (I'm guessing, my eastern block is quite weak.)

My Sun.

Lets face it, however it's pronounced, Phil King will pronounce it wrong. Repeatedly.

Misunpronunciation?

Misunderstood?

:D

Without seeing it written in Czech (with the accents) I can't be sure, but the Mee bit is right, as is it in Meelan.

Edit: The surname is pronounced Meeshuun.  There is an accent over the 's' giving it the 'sh' sound and one over the 'u' giving it a slightly elongated 'u'. (If Wikipedia has the accents right).

I first thought you said I was the new Gary Elkins  :soapy tit wank:

That too.

No, Piemonte was the new Gary Elkins but he disappeared :(

Fine by me. Just glad it wasn't Gary Glitter...  :sherlock:

Looking at that Celtic forum, they seem to think he's more of a left back than centre back... :doh:

Well, we obviously needed a left back...

on fm it says hes lb then cb, and even lm  ???

It says the exact opposite here.

http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/celtic-chat/97095-misun-gone.html

The forums I've read stated pretty much the oposite!

Dont worry chaps............Danny will have him in goal :D

According to the link the Celtic fans rated him in the main & many seem surprised & upset that he's gone. Only played 2 games for Dundee on loan because they went into Administration and a few pre-season games for Celtic so maybe wanted to be playing first team football.  I like the bit about A C Milan & Copenhagen wanting him prior to his Celtic move - could be a useful acquisition.

Sounds a little strange on the Wilson interview on STFC World - Wilson implies that he had nothing to do with the signing and that it was Fitton and Wray.

sure he didnt mean just the negotiations?

The majority are absolutely clueless on there. There are a few well informed, reasonable, level headed people on there though.

like here then ;)

Cheers Donker. ( Enuit pronunciation)

Reading the Celtic forums, it seems they rate him very highly and are shocked he has gone to a 'poxy little club like Swindon' :D

Agreed, most of them have no clue whatsoever, everyday its either lets sign Le Fondre or making up more libelous rumours about Austin, and get on players backs to much, theyre already writing of Misun, need to get some straight jackets ;)

yes damn us and our high expectations

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_6707345,00.html?

Free!

wow very nice deal then. wasnt he bought by celtic?

Yeah we got him from a club in the Czech Republic, AC Milan were meant to be after him too.

I'm gutted he's gone, he was probably our best defender in pre-season last summer (and we played some tough teams, Man United, Sporting Lisbon etc) and was told he was 3rd choice centre-back.

His injury combined with another young CB doing brilliantly for us means he can't get a look in, which is a shame because he's probably one of the best centre backs I've seen come through the system.


All the best, hope he does well for you.

i think every town fan does

http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/celtic-chat/97095-misun-gone.html

Seems they are a bit miffed.

Well I would be, another young (maybe promising) player sold off, and a couple of pedestrian Championship players bought in - Kris Commons, Kelvin Wilson. Not sure what your thoughts are on this Celticfan67?

Harsh on Commons, he's a decent winger who can also score a few.  Scottish International also.

You give the guy praise, then whip it away with the last comment...  :D

To be honest I've not seen Kelvin Wilson at all, have heard some pretty good things though. As for Commons I'm happy with the signing but we've got midfielders coming out of our ears and only 1 fit recognised centre back (as Wilson's only on a pre contract).

but wouldnt get in many english prem teams, this is why the scottish prem is on par with the championship in my IMO but they dont seem to think that .

even though celtic and rangers reputation would be higher if they was in the english premiership and then would able to attract better players

On a different note...Vela from Arsenal on loan to WBA......Cox has got to be getting a little miffed.

Yeah thats got to be pretty much his season finished now.  Cant see him being picked instead of Vela or Odemwingie, but unfortunately now too highly rated to have any chance of a loan back down to league 1.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him ask for a loan to the championship though if he stops being picked for the bench.

To clarify a couple of things, he is a left-sided centre back, he hasn't played left back for a couple of seasons now.

And it's pronounced Milan (like the city) Missoon.

Whatever ... he's our Misun now, should we decide to accept him.

This post will self destruct in 5 seconds.

Glad we are making signings, but another centre back???

LJF, Cuthbert, Flint, Misun and Frampton. Surely one to many. I'm off to start a Cuthbert to Oxford rumour.

To play devil's advocate here...LJF - not really good enough (and might be off), Cuthbert - Fine, Flint - young, stpeeing up too many levels, Mišůn - young, untried, Frampton - not ours and a crock.  I don't think we have enough CBs!

Christ, someone on that Celtic forum was asking if they got £500k for him.

They may all go the way of Ifil and O'Hanlon, but we have 3/4 young defenders now that could go on to be real gems.  Hope Frampton stays fit to ensure the older head is in there.  He's impressed me when he has played.

Now to sort the front line and I wouldn't mind a JPM replacement.

Welcome Milan!

Now go out and earn this club a sexy undisclosed fee :)

http://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/topic/8445587/4/

Seems Costa_Bhoy doesn't like us very much for some reason.

Bit odd - why would a Celtic fan have anything against us?!

'Swinetown' suggests having interests in other clubs.

Misun, Flint - both very highly rated - and 100k for Morrison in effect, that's unbelievable January business in my eyes.

Wonder if he'll be for voting Sonny?

So, I wonder whether Wilson is thinking that he long term back 4 will be Cuthbert-Flint-Misun-LJF?

The TV presenter Dominic Diamond is very famous for supporting both Celtic and Poxford so the story checks out that some people are sad enough to support both clubs!

Weve got too many centre backs now. All of them are extremely promising.

I think this is another board signing (young player, increasing in value). They cant all play. Very strange, when we are crying out for forwards that we would pay money for another centre back.

I agree. Unless somebody is leaving.....

I suppose that will happen in the summer anyway and the board may have adopted the 'get em while you can' approach.

Misun didn't cost anything he was a freebie.

I dont really want to see Cuthbert or Lescinel leave. I think Cuthbert has been consistantly underrated by the football world. He is a top young defender and is worth over £500k but there has been no rumblings of a bid like that. How could the Sweaties call up Caddis who isnt even our best right back at a L1 club, and not Cuthbert? Bonkers.

Lescinel could go either way, but is worth perservering with.

Youve got to keep the squad fairly lean. Competition yes, but 4 centre backs is too many.

Flint, Misun, Cuthbert, Frampton and LJF. That's 5, assuming Flint can push for a place straight away.

i thought 4 centre backs was the norm for most teams? decent amount of cover i think. considering we havn't seen flint or misun play yet i think we should reserve judgement on our starting cbs and about who, if anyone, will leave. for all we know misun could be miles better than ljf and maybe even cuthbert and so be pushing for a starting spot. we definitely have to keep frampton in though for the experience, playing 2 young cbs hasnt worked for us this season

Yeah, sorry meant 5.

What worries me more is the fact he's out of contract in the summer and we've heard nothing about him signing a new deal.

I've got no problem with the amount of centre backs we have, just the balance and range of centre backs arent there. If you include Will Evans we have have 5 under the age of 24  - thus only one, senior defender.

Which has been a problem and Frampton hasnt exactly been reliable with injuries unfortunately. If he does get injured again then we're in trouble even if we have another 5 centre backs who could play instead.

The lack of experience this season has been key. The amount of times yesterday the guy reporting on the watford v Brighton match was praising how organised the Brighton defence, Marshalled by Greer was pretty frustrating to hear.

So why did they sell Misun to us?

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_6709913,00.html

Maybe we could swap him back for a couple of experienced strikers?

They're obviously totally fucking stupid.

He's shit

Obviously they didn't now that Rogne would get injured on Saturday.

Based on this season's performances I'd take £500k for Cuthbert. Based on last season's performances I'd have laughed at £500k. As well as JPM he has been the most disappointing player this season. He's another player that needs a good coach - he's got one hell of a lot of talent but gone backwards this season.

Well I'm disappointed there's been no obligitory youtoob video posted up, so we can all get frothy with excitement seeing him strut his stuff, showing how good he is...

Same old with JPM, Wilson stupidly messed up his game by playing the best goal providing winger in the league last season in the middle. Exactly the same fuck up Malpas did.

Least Wilson has had him back in his proper position last 3 months.

JPM has also had to put up with Caddis being a complete lazy fucker off the ball, never drawing defenders away from him. With Amankwaah marauding up and down the wing again, we could see the return of the goal assist king, JPM.

Amankwaah is to JP what Paynter was to Cox. Compliments him perfectly. Looked good yesterday and hopefully back to their best soon.

Why was it announced by Danny Wilson that the fee was undisclosed and in the region of 6 figures then?

Because that doesn't fit in with his STFC-4-Lifes vendetta

Celtic fans have said he was released.

So did sky sports

We probably paid a release fee like we did with O'Brien when we signed him from Hibs.

In the region of 6 figures is quite a wide spread

There's no youtube vid of him 'cos he never played for the first team, except in pre-season when he looked great.

The announcer over the tannoy said the same before kick off saturday.

Definitely not true then

Out for the rest of the season and beyond according to BBC Radio  Swindon this morning after picking up a knee injury his 1st day of training  ::)

FFS

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: You couldn't make it up.

He was crocked when we bought him.

So we've bought a crock, but managed to sneak a lot of money for another crock from a certain Lancashire club at the same time!

Reminds me of Gareth Davies

We signed him injured, without a medical... potential profit too good to turn down. Just when we needed experienced battlers primed for a relegation dog fight. Januarys dealings were appalling...

Wilson had nothing whatsoever to do with Misun's signing...

The only player I have seen pull a hamstring heading the ball bak to his own keeper.

Bollocks! I saw you do that last week!

Yeah but I couldn't see myself do it, so that doesn't count.

Didn't Beauchamp once injure himself by stepping out of his car...or am I making that up?

i vaguely remember something about the Ardiles no doubt he was probably under the influence of alcohol dirty yellow scum  :pint:

If you are going down the off pitch route Sammy Iglue was the king of crap injuries. Obviously these was the said eye glue incident, and the time he cut his own plaster cast off because his broken wrist? felt better.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~455985,00.html

Misun inaction.

Spot on.  Not going to provide much profit if he's permanently injured and just another player to add to the wage bill.  What a joke.

Settle down folks,this aint the time for knee jerk reactions.

Yeah, kneesy does it.

Just when we kneed fit players too.

I reckon when he finally pulls on a Town shirt we should all celebrate & have a good knees up

He'll be gone in the summer. Another waste of a wage and another crock signed. *Sigh*.

Player of the season candidate?

Definitely should be done as a protest vote.

That's a cracking idea. TEF:PG?

Nah I'd say vote Billy Bodin as Milan Missing will not be listed to vote for surely

He can have my vote

Without doubt. I would love for him to get. Fucking brilliant.

Won't be eligible as they need 10 or 15 apps. I'm all up for protest voting the most ridiculous available candidate into the award though, not sure who it would be...Dossevi? Ball?

If that's right, Ball's not played enough games.

I would suggest Amankwah. He's made 15 starts but most people (including mself) have forgotten what he looks like.

Oooooooh....Sean Morrison made 25 appearences....could this be our man?

Think they disqualify people who've left part way through the season, but not 100%.

Out of the current players I suppose it's out of Pericard, Dossevi and Amankwah. Out of the three, I get the feeling only Amankwah would get the irony, which I think is important.

Spoil the ballot paper!!!!

What about Will Evans? We've won every time he's played.

Charlie Austin.

He's played enough, left, will finish our top scorer and probably has been our best player this season.

Don't think he or others would get the irony.

How many LJF played?

Pericard would be hilarious though. Think of the meltdown Thisis would have.

LJF has 9 (1) in the league plus 3 cup appearances...

Jordan Pavett?

If the cut off point is 10 LJF is our man!

Ferry?

Come on its got to be Dossevi. I've got a bit of sympathy towards Pericard and Ball.

Ferry for sure

Can I have a quick update? why is this suddenly 12 pages long? PM's are fine.

He's the only one who has won anything this year!

Austin's not ironic enough. A genuine case could actually be made for him to get it.

LJF 12 (+1)...may have played enough? Would be suitably ironic :hmmm:

As soon as we know who's eligible we just need to all agree who we're going to (ironically) vote for.

I know. I said it, in the post you quoted!

We should just all vote for Misun anyway as a "write-in" candidate like in US elections. Even if they ignore it, if they get 100 votes for the eventual winner and 200 for Misun, that'd send a pretty strong message in itself.

You did indeed. I only read the first two lines. I have a very short attent...LOOK A SQUIRREL!


If someone from the Adver reads this they may just decide to make the whole squad elligible :hmmm:

Misun for the rest of the season

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/9422203.stm

He gets my player of the year vote

The player of the season poll got a record number of votes last year. Things change quick in football.

Last year was a proper contest...about 5 or 6 genuine candidates.

The votes cast thing is a bit dodgy because of the acceptance of on-line votes, some of us hark back to the halcyon days of trying to predict the top 6, using only Adver coupons for voting.

The way he handed that shirt to the kid in the DRS was masterful.  A lesson in how to hand over a shirt. tbh.

I agree, Meeshooon for poty.

Good News Everybody.

BBC RS reported that Milan "MI(lack of)A" Misun could return to the first team as early as October. They even had a quote from him, cancel the loch ness defender hunt -  he does exist.

Yes....October.....They did say it was a serious knee injury picked up in his first training session. That or we didn't kick the tyres hard enough on transfer deadline day.

By all accounts he's a quality player just been unlucky with all of his injuries. A Celtic mate of mine said he was close to being in the first 11 at the start of the season before he got injured, they then went on to sign Daniel Majstorovic.

By the time he actually gets fit there's going to be so much expected of him that if he isn't Franz Beckenbauer and Bobby Moore's bastard child he'll be a let down.

Bloody cripples

hes quality on FM11, end up selling him to sunderland for 3.5m  :D

if he is that good to be pushing celtic'a first team why did they let him go?  injury record?

I really really hope he isn't a sick note.

He was signed crocked, as I mentioned at the time... poor bit of business.

I was told after his last injury in the close season 2010, he went further down the pecking order at Celtic and they decided to release him. They rated him high though. AC Milan we're interested in signing him 3 years ago I think.

He has to get back to full fitness and then we'll see what he's capable of.

October? WTF? Get rid of him now. Waste of a wage.

I assume the club will be reclaiming his wages through their players insurance policy so we may as well keep him and see how he goes when he's recovered.

Do you think we can do that if he was injured when we signed him?

I assume he passsed a medical so that would normally automatically include him on the policy. The club said he got injured during the first training session which, if true, should mean we can get his wages back, or at least a set percentage of them.

Ahh, I just presumed he was injured when we signed him. Fair enough.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Mi%C5%A1%C5%AFn

According to wiki, back with his old Czech club now.

So he does actually exist?

Who'd of thought it!

"Swindon Town
On 28 January 2011 Mišůn apparently joined League One side Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee - however, it was later revealed he had not officially signed a contract."

What does that even mean  ???

He wasn't contracted, could have been fantastic.

Wilson has just signed him for Sheff Utd

Behave!  He doesn't exist.

Just found this seems wilson loves his left backs check out what the first poster says.

http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=463&fid=221&act=1&mid=2114498063

Sky are reporting the story. It'll be nice to see what he actually looks like!

I'm sure the Town End's jovial and original chant machine will be working over time if/when he plays at the CG. Or we might just get "Who the fucking hell are you?"...

Oh good, the opportunity to do my rubbish Ace of Base derived chant will present itself again this season.

Ha ha, unlucky Sheffield United

TBF, we don't know if it is unlucky Sheff Utd, we have never seen him play.

This Misun story confuses me.

Something seriously suspect about Wilson and Misun.... would love to know the agent's involvement.

that thought crossed my mind as well

Milan Misun is code for "Danny Wilson Bonus".  ;)
