FFS glad you are not in charge of the finances IIRC we got £1m for Maloney when he had 6 months left and he was even more injury prone than Forrest |

At the time it was reported we got 300k for Ledley but I think it was actually less. |

Maloney was superb at the time, Forrest is nowhere near that level. |

A fresh challenge elsewhere would be best for him and Celtic. Has ability but struggles to use it often enough. |

6 months of Maloney would be worth more than 3 years of Forrest. |

No he wasn't. He had a superb season the season before that, and had a shampooe start to the new season with countless injuries before he left in the January. Some of the abuse Forrest takes on here is well unwarranted. Understandable that people think his time's up. Injuries over the years have curtailed a somewhat promising start, but I find it mental that there is a massive clamour for players like Allan and GMS when Forrest has achieved much more than any of them probably ever will at Celtic. He's a decent player and will continue to be a decent player if he can stay fit and I'd much rather he stayed under the right terms. |

Maloneys football in his POTY season was superb, he did have a bad start to the next season and the stick Forrest gets is OTT but even an on form Forrest wouldn't be half the player Maloney was back then. |

I'm afraid Forrest hasn't had a decent season since 2011 2011 Way too many excuses made for him - he needs to go elsewhere and sharpish |

I still dont get why we let players run down their contract like this. Its unprofessional as hell. start negotiating when they have 18 months left, if they havent signed a new deal within 6 months they are not going to. |

We did start negotiations but Forrest apparently knocked back our offers. If we could sell him, I'm sure we would have, but why would anyone who wants him pay cash when they can likely get him on a free shortly down the road? Ledley was a little different, as he was useful as a rental even if Palace didn't re-sign him. Regardless, make or break season for Forrest coming up!

I've been this for years. If you want to keep a player negotiate a new deal. If one can't be done or the player doesn't want to stay punt with a 12 months to go. Rogic has one year left I believe. He either signs or we punt. Only exception to this would be someone who will retire. |
