    I think he loves the club more than any other foreign player we've had, even Larsson. Hasn't scored at home in the Champions League but definitely deserves to, Ajax is an excellent opportunity.

    The point being that the opportunity to pass the ball wasn`t available in the majority of occasions(not just Sammy but for the likes of Commons, Stokes and probably the whole team).

    The way we played trying to limit the space Barcelona had, also limited our ability to retain the ball when we won it back. More often than not we had to resort to longer passes, hoping we could hold onto the ball for long enough and support the player in possession.

    As a team we struggled in keeping the ball long enough to build-up play.

    My old man is a Motherwell fan - albeit with a soft spot for Celtic. He watched the Barca game from 70 min onwards (family illness prevented him watching the whole match) and he didnt realise we were down to 10 men. Mainly due to Sammy 'acting like a man possesed'. He said Sammy looked like he wanted to take Barca on everytime he got the ball. My dad was gutted we didnt get the point he thought we were due. Had a pint with him tonight and he was singing Samaras' praises. He loves the guy

    Hes a great player with a big heart and TBH if he didnt have the couple of flaws in his game - a bit of lack of coolness in front of goal and some bad decision making - he would be worth 20 million and playing for the other team least night.

    This is a nightmare. He may love Celtic but he's not going to turn down the biggest club in the world+ payrise+ possible Spanish league medals + possible CL medal. It's a big mistake that his contract has been left so long. The moment we qualified for the group stages, the priority should have been to get these contracts sorted out.

    if we lose him then we will be properly f***** for champions league games. He's the only player that has the attitude to win these games. Without him, we'll have nothing going forward.

    It's just the results of a fan poll, far from any semblance of an actual forthcoming offer from the club.

    Though admittedly if it did come down to it I might be willing to accept a trade straight across with them for Messi, but only if they first agreed to throw in Iniesta for free as a deal-sweetener.
