    Was one of the bunch that signed improved deals this year, up to the end of season 26/27, won't stop him moving if a big offer comes obviously but his value is protected at least.

    I agree he's likely to go but at least we're pretty much guaranteed a good fee.
    You hope they might be a bit different and give us another year since we gave them their chance at CL level to prove themselves, but they rarely do.

    All depends on how they feel at the time really. If he feels it's the right time and it's the right club, then he has to go for it. No point hanging around against your instinct to then think 'what if'. That would eat away at a player mentally.

    We all know he’s going in the summer. However, it should be for a record fee or very close to it. Jota level money.

    £25m minimum with a large sell on.

    Yeah Rogic was a great player to watch and he had Scottish football on toast but he couldn’t perform at the same level in Europe.

    O’Riley is putting in MOTM performances regularly at the highest level. He’s already passed Rogic’s ceiling.

    However I still love Tom.

    O'Riley has the potential to achieve much more in the game, but there's no doubt Rogic has achieved more in a Celtic jersey.. indeed we'll cash in on O'Riley before he gets to Rogic's levels.. a few goals v The Hun this season starting on the 30th would help..

    Edit: Different planets/levels is bollocks btw:56:

    I loved big Tam he was class, in spells it has to be said. Haha I’d say they are different levels O’Riley will be away for £25m at least. Big game player but also does it consistently in the smaller games.

    Rogic is well ahead of O'Riley.

    I’ll never ever forget Rogic’s last minute goal to seal an invincible treble

    If Rogic was at his peak now, he would command a significant fee.. he had a lot of sides sniffing around him over the years..

    O'Riley has been excellent and will probably leave for big money, but until he fires in a few against a few v The Huns and maybe the Cup Final, Rogic will always be ahead..

    I can’t mind anyone really being that interested and fees getting floated about if there was were about £6m. He was a great player don’t get me wrong but was at his best when the league was pretty poor. O’Riley well clear for me.

    I’d have Tam Rogic in full swing any day over Matt, as much as I like him. Rogic was a special player when he was at his best.

    If rogic never had big injury problems and fitness issues he wouldn't have been here as long. Genius footballer.
    MOR has a higher ceiling at the moment and that's down to his own hard work and some coaches belief in him. Can go much further no doubt

    He was definitely linked with a few over the years, Arsenal and Zenit ring a bell.. £7-£10m..

    Will be interesting to see what happens with O'Riley, hopefully he continues and helps to fire us towards a double..

    O'Riley may go on to achieve more but it likely won't be with us..

    A truly iconic moment that will go down as one of the great moments in the clubs history.

    Think I mind Arsenal one but doubt there was anything in it.

    O’Riley won’t be here much longer, I’d be amazed if he’s here for any of next season. Guy was on the radar of Dortmund & Liverpool before us supposedly.

    He’ll get his first goal v the newest professional club in Glasgow this month, certainty.
