Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana has been labelled an 'idiot' for his decision not to join Celtic on transfer deadline day.
The Parkhead club reportedly made a loan approach for the 22-year-old.
In the end, Datro Fofana chose to join Charlton Athletic instead, but the deal fell through, and he now remains at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking as the news broke on the Monday Night Club, former Celtic striker Chris Sutton hit out at Datro Fofana when it looked like he was set for a move to the English Championship: "God, what an idiot," he said.
"Charlton? Instead of Celtic? Really?"
Sutton went on to reflect on the club's transfer window as a whole: "It’s been a nightmare, however many months now, of recruitment at Celtic," he added. "Never replaced Kyogo, never replaced Nicolas Kuhn; Brendan Rodgers clearly isn’t happy.
"When Callum McGregor says they need bodies in the door – Callum is super intelligent, he’s articulate, he’s measured.
"When the captain says they need players in, out of the Champions League, there is a large element of the support that are getting restless."
It remains to be seen whether Celtic will look to sign a free agent striker. Kelechi Iheanacho, who worked with boss Rodgers at Leicester City, has been linked after he was released by Sevilla last night.
The Bhoys have until 11pm this evening to submit a 25-man squad for their upcoming Europa League fixtures.
