Camara Signs

Finally, a signing!
Celtic today completed the signing of Henri Camara, on a season-long loan deal from Wolves.

Camara's signing is reported to be a British record. Celtic will pay all of his £25,000 weekly wages, on top of an instant £1.5 Million for his services.

At these prices, Camara is a big risk. He has apparently fallen out with everyone at Wolves, and so did not appear for training, resulting in a fine of two weeks' wages. Flashbacks of Pierre Van Hooijdonk and Mark Viduka?

However, it all may be worth our while. A Wolves supporters' website claimed him to be their player of their relegation battle last season, and from most reports, he is a good signing.

Celtic will have the option to buy him at the end of the season. Camara will make his debut in a friendly against Newcastle United next week.
