    He is better off the bench than Maloney and on half the wage. Maloney would probably fetch more more as well.
    Simples.

    With all his injury problems, I don't really think he would. Maloney's also quicker and offers better link-up play even if he doesn't have Paddy's individual genius. I'd rather have Shaun on the bench for now and I think 1.5 mil for Paddy's a great offer.

    I want him to stay, but if he's not going to be getting first team football then I think we should let him go. He's proven himself as far as I'm concerned, it's just unfortunate for him that we have so many good wingers. He deserves first team football, it's not fair to him to keep him sat on our bench and it means we're spending money paying a player who's not playing.

    All the people saying sell the rest first it's not FIFA you don't just click the 'sell' button. We won't particularly save on wages but transfer fee could go straight into another area of the squad benefiting us further than a good (at times) impact sub.

    Depends on the price, but I can't see it being that much - around £500k..?

    Same with wages, doubt he's on that much tbh.

    We need to sell other guys like Sammy & Maloney 1st - who are also backup to requirements & won't offer much this season - as they didn't last season.

    Paddy gave the team more that both Molly & Sammy & is on less wages, sell those 2 before Paddy.

    think he can be a great player, wouldnt mind him staying but if we get 1.5m for him and we put that towards a class keeper i would welcome his departure. Really like the guy though!

    too true.

    don't care if he stays or goes tbh. all comes to down to what their offer is. if Maloney follows suit, i'd put in a bid for Templeton.

    38 appearances over 3 seasons and scored 9 goals. Not great is it. And none that I can remember against a team of note.

    just goes to show, how many talent spotters are on here, lol thats the Celtic way sell someone that will get you a goal, and keep others that will cost you a goal. somethings never change.
