Kelt has to regret selling “amazing” £ 5m gems for £ 400,000

Celtic March according to another title continues.

Last Saturday night, Brendan Rodgers‘Side fought to win St. Mirren, leading twice through the sweet strike by Jeffrey Schluppa and then the Spot-Dodarcanan Arne Engels, only that the friends returned both times.

Nevertheless, a quick double double double double of Yang Hyun-Jun replacement, are the form Daizen Maeda On the target between, they saw the hoops collect three points in Paisley.

As a result, with respect to that Renjers They were defeated earlier during the day, now at the top of 16 points, on the way to finish the title before the cleft, and Old Firm Derby arrived on Sunday for a week.

However, would the hoops be even more powerful in the attack if they had not released a former striker who now surpasses the return Jot?

As Jota has performed since returning to Celtic

Jota returned to Celtic in January, on a lot of fanfar, joining the club from Stade Rennais for Reported fee of £ 8 millionAfter he left only 18 months earlier for £ 25 million, a common record.

Fair to say, the time of the Portuguese wing in Saudi Arabia did not go to the plan, making only 25 performances For Al-Ittihad, in this way it is in less than 50% of their matches, they were not registered for league matches more than half the season; and Saudi Pro league has a restriction on foreign players.

As a result, last August, Jota was sold to Stadeu Rennais to Ligue 1 for 10 million euros butafter with only ten times For Les Rouge et Noirs, Celtic joined the Celtic January, and Kyōgo Furuhashi was moving in the opposite direction to Breedanje.

Ever since he arrived at Glasgow, the Portuguese wing player has scored from the bench during his second Celtic debut in Motherwell.

He is were subsequently on target Against Dundee and Aberdeen, though Rodgers admitted His signature in January Marquee “is not yet at a physical level”, which had to be renovated by the sharpness of the match that played very little for almost two years.

Jota is undoubtedly a beloved figure for all Celtic supporters, but there is a forgotten former striker who has overdue a superstar from Portugal lately.

Forgoted Celt forward in the form of a form on the state

If you don’t remember too much about Lewis Morgan’s Celtic career, we don’t blame you well.

He arrived from St. Mirrena on Applied fee in the amount of £ 300,000 In July 2018 but made Only 31 performance In the hoops, scoring only two goals, on the target against AIK in the Europa League qualification in Stockholm, before being against Rennes in a group group a few months later.

After a credit magic in Sunderland, Morgan was then sold to the Major League Soccer expansion Club Inter Miami in January 2020 for about £ 400,000while the Celts made a little profit.

His time in Florida was far from spectacular, he just scored a hit Seven goals in 58 appearances for Inter Miami, but he must have done something to attract the attention of those in New Jersey, because, after two years at Fort Lauderdale, he was sold to the New York Red Bulls for $ 1.2 million in general distribution of moneyA rather large compensation of Intra-MLS job standards.

The Scottish International has certainly found a home in the Red Bull Arena, achieving a hat-trick during only his second appearance for Rbny Away to Toronto, Network 18 times During his first season in New Jersey.

Morgan then endured a rather miserable 2023. He could only make six appearances Due to hip injury This required surgery, given only a 20% chance of ‘returning to its peak level’, as noted Joseph Lowery from the back.

Despite this forecast, Morgan has safely rediscovered the upper form 2024, scoring 13 goals in 29 Seasonal performances regularly, the key figure while the New York Red Bulls reached the MLS Cup finals for the first time since 2008, eventually defeated by LA Galaxy.

His manager Sandro Schwarz described Morgan’s form As “unbelievable,” is reflected in the fact that he was named MLS return player of the year 2024Award awarded to the player “who showed an impressive improvement after overcoming a serious injury.”

So, let’s see how Morgan’s numbers are compared to Jot in the last 12 months.

As the table shows, Morgan has scored six more goals than Jot in the last 12 months, although, given that he has played almost twice as many minutes, their records on the goal are incredibly similar.

According to TransfermarktScott is now worth a high £ 5 million, 12.5 times more than a fee he initially sold to MLS five years ago.

IN an interview with the goal, Morgan admitted that he grew up a Rangers fan, excluding every chance of ever returning to Parkhead, but the 28-year-old certainly showed qualities in RBNY that were never exposed during his short time at the Celtic Park. Maybe they regretted him letting him all before?
