To be fair to Bobo, from what I understand he spent the money wisely, helping out his community in Guinea & various charities, so personally I have a lot of respect for him as a man, unlike most modern footballers who earn ridiculous money & spend it all on bling & clothes & a lavish lifestyle.
Bobo never let us down on when he played on the park, & it was Strachan's choice not to play Bobo, it wasn't as if Bobo refused to play for the club or made himself unavailable.
Unlike some of the current players he never resorted to bad mouthing Strachan or the club through the media, and i think he has handled the whole situation with dignity.
He would have been a villan if he hadn't signed that last contract & left Celtic for free, & after all it was MON that made the offer.

I'm glad we've got another big wage off the books, & I was frustrated that Bobo was staying put, but there's two sides to every story, & I'll be interested to see what he says about his time at the club.

Good luck Bobo & thanks for the memories.
That's it in a nutshell.
