    Don't think I dont know that. You really shot me down mate.

    Im away to seriously question the integrity of my friends andprobably reconsider my entire life such was the level of ridicule aimed at my ill-informed post.

    Does it even matter what the truth is???

    I guess we'll never know....

    Because he is not stupid. You do not let an experienced 1st team player who is proven and potentially our best full back (although imo Lustig edges it, just) leave.

    If Ronny does in fact not rate Adam Matthews as a footballer then his judgement of players is poor. I am certain that he does in fact rate him as a player though.

    People who think that Ronny wants him out need to really sit down and think about that statement. Dont let the heart rule the head. Really think about it.

    This is a boardroom decision and it is a recurring factor at our club.

    That's all your opinion.

    None of the above is fact. You cannot possibly know whether or not he wanted him kept. Personally I think anyone who believes he hasn't had a say in this is talking oot their *. But hey, that's just my opinion so believe what you want!

    He is under contract for another 11 months. We are still in control. He can be sold in 2 different transfer windows after our European fate is decided.

    It is a fact. I dont need to get it from the horses mouth to know that Ronny rated him. Ronny is a football man he knows what Adam is all about.

    It's not a fact.

    Do you have it in writing that Mr Ronny Deila esquire wanted to keep Adam Matthews at Celtic Football Club? No, you do not.

    Complete and utter guesswork, just like the majority of this thread.

    He might have rated him, doesn't mean he wanted him kept. There are a number of possibilities that can factor into this transfer. You are just looking at the one which suits your agenda.

    The club selling matthews against Ronnys express will is totally out of the question. That would be a breach of the loyalty you need as a manager. Almost a reason to pack it up and find another job.

    They would never have done that unless it was a total financial crisis at the club, which we all know it is not.

    So I don't think it has to be just one factor that sealed the deal here. They will have sat down and weighed up different things, not least Ronnys wish to downscale the squad to 21-22 players, which will only leave 2 people in each position and in this case it will be Janko and Lustig - our best RB and the one withe the highest future potential. It makes sense.

    Matthews might have been just slightly surplus to requirements, or he might have been inclined to go to the BPL to get a better shot at caps for Wales, or he might have been thought highly of as a player, but still not be the right TYPE of player for our system. It also happens.

    Doesn't have to be some insidious dealings going on behind the scenes.

    Feels like an end of an era him leaving. The laat of the Ledleys, Hooper etc. was a great servant considering how young he still is. Best of luck to him. Glad he got a move to the premier league.

    Wish him all the best in the future, been a good servant to the club. Almost half expected this after Janko signed

    Well hooper went to Norwich for £5m in last year of contract and we paid £2.4 m ----£2.6 net

    We got Matthews for £0 and selling him in last year of contract for £2m ------- £2m Net


    So I think its a good deal when we are not short in that area.
