True. Maybe the only way of changing that would be getting into the group stage, then 16, then last eight. Even under BR, for me, 5% chance of that. |

Any half decent attacking midfielder gives the ball away a load. Top tv deal in the world, that's it. |

Good player, and much improved, but still ha weaknesses, particularly in Europe where he is guilty of giving the ball away too cheaply. If he moves on at a good profit then best of luck to him. If only we could move on guys like Ciftci ... |

Are you suggesting that we really need SA to beat any of the dross that we play in Scotland? SA's CFC was going nowhere this time last year. Brendan has made a huge difference to his game, as he has to several others. All I'm suggesting is that if SA doesn't resign then the club should look at alternatives before accommodating him! |

You'd pay £3m for Armstrong if he was on the market, right? So why not 'sign' him for that same £3m but give the money to him? 3 year deal = £20.000/wk increase in wages. We keep Armstrong, he gets a salary in the region of what he is being offered and he plays in Champion's League. No lose situation IMO |

The transfer system works both ways. We've benefitted a hellavu lot from freedom of contract, particularly in cross-border UK deals. Occasionally it'll work against us. That's not always avoidable, unfortunately, I agree that the club should do everything it can (off the field) to offload a player rather than see him run down their contract. But if the player stays, that's his choice. And the manager picks the best team for the match, the finance guys shouldn't have a say in it. |

Not suggesting the finance guys have any say at all. Just think that Brendan obviously spent time with SA that paid off for both parties last season, this season perhaps he should spend that time with others who have committed to the club. That way the club sends the message that they reward guys who wants to stay! |

I think it would have the opposite effect and its the kind of thing that splits dressing rooms. You cant just a dump a player in the reserves because he doesn't sign a contract. I don't think players take too kindly to things like that, its petty and not feasible in the modern game.
His probably right in the sense his learnt a lot more in real game experience. At Southampton his coming up against a far better quality of opposing players and his instincts, sharpness and game intelligence will have to be a lot higher for him to succeed than it would in Scotland.

Armstrong is making a big mistake if he goes As others have said VVD and Wanyama were coasting in the spfl before they went Armstrong has impressed for 6 months at most and he's doing that in a celtic side which gave him so many options If he goes to West brom or southampton or any other team like these - who aren't as good as celtic - at this stage i think he'll get found out quickly and there won't be any friendly BR there to work it thru And there'll be precious few win bonuses Even were he to be getting 20k more per week with tax off that he's going for less than 600k a year more - and he could claw that back with his next deal by taking a bigger chunk of transfer fee itself and'or any further sell on Its not rocket science stuart - you are good but not that good and BR can make you that good - sign on for 2 with option of third |

He'd do well to remember his recent Scotland performance against England. That's the equivalent of Southampton going up against the top 6 clubs down there. He was one of the poorer performers that day and likely found it frustrating due to the lack of movement in front of him, little time to pick out basic or clever passes and eventually was one of the main culprits in conceding their equalizing goal. |

Good luck and all that jazz. This is a club moving forward, with it without those luscious locks! |

If we can get a decent fee now then move him on. I've no problem if he stays but if we want to push on as a club then we need better players than SA anyhoo (that's not saying he's not worth his place currently BTW). He's had a decent 6 months or so, but he's not worth turning down a decent offer for. |

Celtic should move to sort this out asap. It's been dragging on for months. If the boy wants to go, get the money in for him and lets get on with it. If we're haggling over a few k. Just pay it and settle this. |

so from a "Boardl" viewpoint... we can sell someone not "very good", and only shown "6 months" of good football with us for megabucks! No brainer really!! no point in trying to get him to stay at all! |

If we got to the last 8 of the CL we would have hardly any team left for next season, but plenty of money for a rebuild. |
