    hes a good player, threatened to be a great player

    if he only had a 2nd gear

    his poise technique and control of the ball is one of the best in the squad

    Top player and top lad, I still have faith.

    Would probably need to play a 4-3-3 with two energetic midfielders (suppose McGregor and Brown would do, although you'd like someone other than Brown at this stage) and he'd probably be able to showcase his talent a bit more in the lone pivot. Can't really see Lenny doing that tho, it'll either be 4-2-3-1 or heaven forbid 4-4-2 for the most part.

    Reports this morning it was Lennon who sanctioned the extra year option on his deal, Celtic hierarchy wanted to let him go apparently!

    He already has a year left. They have decided against paying him off.

    That’s what I thought but apparently it was a year option we triggered * knows * shouldn’t be here anyway! Got a decent 6 months out of him from 7 years!

    Alarming..

    Clearly wants to keep some of his old team from his first stint..

    Bitton, Izzy and Lustig for me personally should all be going this summer. It's clear we need an injection of freshness, pace and youth, which these guy's aren't gonna provide..

    He knows his Sauchiehall Street from his St Vincent Street, an extra year makes sense.

    He had a flat out 5 year deal under Ronny. No year option was ever reported.

    That version of the story isn't quite as salacious Dev.

    4 year deal with an extra years option which Lennon has taken up and Bitton is keen on now chips have been reintroduced at Lennoxtown is what I'm saying.

    He signed a 5 year deal Ronnys last season.
    He's not my favourite player but I could see why Lennon would want a versatile player who seems to be a big character in the squad around for another year.

    In a perfect scenario you would take him and lustig's wages and use them elsewhere.
    But sometimes having these players around the squad can be more beneficial for squad morale behind the scenes etc.
    Especially the fact they have a good relationship with Neil too.

    See Sinclair was reported as the same straight 4 year deal then this “option” appeared.

    He is here now but think his wages could have been used elsewhere

    The leaked document actually stated that there was an option and that we’d agreed to keep him until next summer.
