Nicolas Kuhn\u2019s exit from Celtic this summer was one that triggered a backlash from supporters. <\/p>\n

Not because Kuhn<\/a> was allowed to leave and join Como for \u00a316.5 million, but the fact that Celtic<\/a> struggled to instantly replace the winger, and some feel they still haven\u2019t done that properly. <\/p>\n

But whilst the Celtic fans continue to protest against the board<\/a>, life is proving to be difficult for their former winger in Italy. <\/p>\n

Como were promoted to Serie A in 2024, and their manager, Cesc Fabregas, has been heavily backed, with investors including his former Barcelona teammate, Thierry Henry. <\/p>\n

The Lombardy-based club have made a strong start, sitting seventh in the table, four points behind third-placed AC Milan, but the same can\u2019t be said for Kuhn<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the two big games Como have played this season, against Juventus and Napoli, Kuhn wasn\u2019t used by Fabregas. <\/p>\n

Either way, Tam McManus<\/a> stated on social media that Celtic have got the better of the deal, and even went as far as to say they have pulled \u2018Como\u2019s pants down.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Celtic have had Como\u2019s pants down with Nicholas Kuhn, haven\u2019t they?\u2019 wrote McManus on social media. <\/p>\n

In the comments section of McManus\u2019 post, he defended his claims after it was deemed \u2018disrespectful\u2019: \u2018The point was Celtic got 16.5m + add-ons for him, brilliant deal for Celtic, s__t for Como, IMO.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kuhn\u2019s opening few months at Celtic in numbers compared to Como<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t write off Kuhn just yet<\/a>. Yes, it has been a difficult start for the winger, but he has been here before, as the Celtic fans know too well.<\/p>\n

When the Hoops signed the German from Rapid Wien during the January transfer window of 2024, he struggled, and there were question marks over his performances.<\/p>\n

But then, when he put his foot down, got some confidence in his legs, and started motoring forward, it all changed. <\/p>\n

Kuhn\u2019s games for Celtic last season: 51Goals: 21Assists: 15<\/p>\n

Perhaps that\u2019s what Kuhn needs here, and in these coming months, Como fans will start to get the rewards for paying such a big transfer fee for the player. <\/p>\n
