    Problem is too many are allowed to get their contract down to a year clubs should be offering extensions for more money then demand more money because player has two or three years left if they have year left they need to sell

    That's what Stan Peteov done in 2006 extended his contract so Celtic got a decent fee!

    Clubs that are skint maybe can't take the chance of knocking that back mate. If we signed him for that price and sold straight away, we'd probably get more because clubs know we don't need to sell.

    He signed a new contract in January or February I think is right but thought it was to tell Cardiff up your price. They we're low balling pathetically.

    Watched highlights of their first game against Partick and Ayr the other night. The one thing I noticed about him is how strong and physical he looks on the ball and his running with the ball from midfield. Ghosting past player's..

    He's always been a tenacious wee * who'll run all day but he looks more of a specimen now and ability keeps improving on the ball..

    Swap for Henderson +£1m, loan him back for the season. I'd be all over that.

    I like him but I think the ship may have sailed. We have too many quality midfielders as it is.

    Only way I can even see us being the slightest bit interested is if Kouassi's injury is serious and Armstrong leaves.

    Really don't get the hype with him though. And people calling for him to Brown's replacement is baffling.

    Would be worth signing but only if Armstrong leaves or we get a serious injury as I otherwise struggle to see where the game time is coming from and thus the immediate need to bring him in. We're not short of midfielders, have two out on loan who'd start at most other clubs (albeit McGinn is probably better than at least one of them), and could probably afford to offload at least one more.

    I can see why they're saying £4M - their star player, international, and his engine is reminiscent of £4M Brown when he was at Hibs. Reckon we could get him for a little less and he's looked a very good player when I've watched him but I'm not sure he should be considered a priority signing, especially at £4M which would buy a chunk of Patrick Roberts, cover at all of left-back, striker and centre back, or a first-choice centre back (we have loads of these as well but the injury history and current state of our defenders might merit plugging the gap permanently).

    At this point he's maybe one to monitor and look at in January or next season.

    sign him and loan him back for a season, I think he has the potential to be a very good player for us, one day.

    If Armstrong leaves and then we pick up another injury we may well need him.

    We don't need him, he'd have to accept being a squad player which I doubt he'll be happy with, in an already over congested Midfield. Also, it would hinder the progress of Henderson, Kouassi etc.

    Maybe if he has a superb season, we could look at him being a long-term replacement for Brown, but at the moment it would be a waste of wages.


    Hope he smashes the huns though.

    Buy him and then loan him back, if he has a good season we risk losing him to England.

    Are we linked again?

    Try and avoid the random bumps lads. I know it's a thread for discussing it but can be confusing for folk looking to get latest updates.

    For what it's worth I don't want him here as much as I did at one point. Last position we need to look at for the minute anyway.

    Every bump is random in Paddy's thread!
