The most surprising thing was that he got offered a 4 year contract :rubeyes:

Good luck whatever you do James. But you've been shampooe for the few years.

Don't know how some can think he'd be a good Championship player when he isn't a good SPL player.

Good player who on his day was unplayable. Ronny persevered with his injuries and seemed to have a plan to manage these - so it looked as if we were going to use him more effectively. Shame that he's turned down the deal as obviously he was part of our plans and at an age where he could take some more responsibility.

Patrick Roberts will possibly mitigate the loss of Forrest but that's not a long term solution.

Difficult to find this "type" of player for the midfield.

I seem to have missed the fact that Forrest still has another year on his deal, according to the Evening Times report.

“You also have to remember that this is a great club and to play for Celtic is a great privilege," said Deila. "He still has another year on his existing deal so we will see what is going to happen now. But it doesn’t help anyone when you have players who don’t want to be here. You want to have players who want to be part of what we are building.”

Would surely mean that we would be due a fee if he left in summer 2016.

It also certainly means he won't be going anywhere near Sevco. :lol:

As others have pointed out, the fact that he was offered a 4 year deal is laughable - he's rubbish

The quality in the English Championship is extremely overrated.

He might be playing against some better players, but he'll also be playing against some worse one. What he's unlikely to be playing against is a raft of defenders and midfielders with no intention of leaving their half and zero space in behind.

As I've said plenty on this thread, I don't rate him that highly, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say he has some qualities that a team in that league could find valuable. Might not work out for him, but hopefully a change does him good.

He's not been happy since Armstrong turned up with THAT hair. Erik's headband and flowing locks sent him over the edge.

A better manager would have got more out of him.
I don't buy that. He was already Mr Inconsistent under Lennon.

Other players - Griffiths, Rogic - have managed to do OK under Deila for all his tactical naivety and incompetence.

Compared to 1000 pages of you and Gonga "Will they, won't they?" in the Ronny thread, this will be a uplifting comedy for all the Family.

I take it he already ahs something else lined up?
Four year contract seemed excessive but with Roberts coming in on loan for 18 months he must have felt his time was coming to an end.
It was good while it lasted, thanks for the memories and all the best in your next venture.

James Forrest is a lost talent and he won't be missed by Celtic - and that's a real shame

JAMES FORREST is a winger who is not great at crossing a ball and doesn’t score many goals.

He turns 25 in July and is closing in on 200 games for Celtic – a figure he is now unlikely to reach – and yet to be brutally honest this is someone who has not really got any better since being named Young Player of the Year four seasons ago. If anything he’s regressed.
