I was also told that during the negotiations for his contract extension last season, his agent had him as being the 6th most important player and yet the club were pitching his wages around the 12 th place.
He was willing to stay but the club only said that if he signed a 3 year deal then they would look at it again at the end of last season. His agent knew that the only way Celtic would negotiate was if he was in the last year of his deal, hence why they only signed a 1 year extension.
They tried to get him to sign another deal but the increase in wages was minimal and they also had interest from two EPL teams and 3 championship teams.
It was a no brainer for him.
That’s nothing like what I heard.

He was never staying, but signed an extension because he didn’t get the interest his agent had said would materialise. I mentioned on here before that his lawyer conducted most of the negotiations and was being really difficult to deal with.
Effing lawyers!!! Ban them all.
Agree completely :thumbsup: ;)

His agent must have been watching a different team ???
Easily in our top 6 in the invincible season....

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Brown Ntcham and Armstrong were the midfield 3 when we played Aberdeen at home and I thought we bullied them and was surprised when the following week Brendan changed the midfield 3.
So with how they performed last season, you are happy with one of Rogic, Forrest or McGregor not starting?
Forrest, the only winger who can’t beat an opponent

Did his agent get a list of what everyone in the team was earning from somewhere?

The whole post is nonsense. 6th most important player? When did we start paying players according to their “importance” ? What happens when they get a season long injury? Do they pay us? Sometimes you wonder about the rubbish that passes for fact :lol:

The players probably discuss salaries amongst themselves.

How many huns did he skin to score against them on title day?

He was one of our best players last season.

Not convinced they are the right club for him. They'll have to improve a helluva lot as a unit for him to show his qualities. He had to start somewhere though and he was never getting a move to a team tearing up the EPL.

The only thing I take issue with was his hair, which lacked the body some would have you believe and apart from anything, is ginger. Really overrated.

On the back of his best season for us when he deservedly kept Paddy Roberts out of the team.

3 1/2 years here and he gave us a mere 6 and a bit months worth watching, so its tremendous business from us.

A mediocre fish in the biggest pool up here- be interesting to see how well he does if Southampton are in the relegation zone again next season?

A tidy player who did well for us overall. Some stay for years, most leave. No big deal.

Yep.

That's the business model. Buy the best in Scotland, give them a platform and let them go for a profit. Repeat.
