Nah I don't go to games. I just have it in my head that is Messi-esque.

Now he knows others are on 20k+ including Samaras who took a 30% paycut to join us and Fortune who turned down 30% more from EPL teams to join us.

Skippy wants parity and is friends with Heid who also wants parity. He does not really want to leave but is using his press friends and agent to stir things up, hopping PL takes him in and give him his second big rise in three years.

If the move comes about he will go (for money) but he hopes to stay for more money. He is paying both sides against the middle.

Thats my view of the situation, he is on good money, if he wants more he needs to earn it on the park. Or if he feels he is not being paid enough leave and look for an employer who is willing to pay him his worth. Stop kissing the badge then using the same lips to stir up a move or engineer a pay rise...........

Pedros above post taken from the rumour thread sums things up perfectly for me.

I honestly think that he'll go even after reading his agents statement today. I also believe that Mowbray doesn't fancy him as a player.

The frustrating thing for me is that he actually looks match fit now which he clearly wasn't during the first month or two of the season. It's the same every year.

Anyway, bar Samaras, nobody scores on a regular basis and to be quite frank, you wouldn't trust him in the bigger games like Sunday's and the open goal at Tynecastle. He has something to offer but when the midfield are also struggling to deliver it's imperative to me that we keep McDonald as well as signing another poacher.

He's only scored 10 goals this season, out of 18 game's, that not prolific in any league, you acting as if he's the only one who can score goals, he's only scored 3 more than sammy. I'm sure we could find someone for £3 million even who could score more than 10 goals in 19 games.

Also he does fuck all for the team, i'm sure we could find someone else who could do a bit more for the team and score goals.

I don't think I've ever disliked a Celtic player as much in my life.

I thought I read today that he had scored 14 this season so far. Could be wrong.

Anyway the thing is Steven, he does seem to pop up for the big goals.

Aye, that's the SPL goal scoring stats.

Can't believe how many Miller's scored this season

I think it looks like he'll be going, despite what his agent says in the paper today.

Unless we have a very good striker coming in I think it's a bad idea.

He is the only one who we know can score on a regular basis and he is our best bet for a goal. Samaras has scored a few this season as well and has been in good form but Skippy will still get more goals than him.

As I have said before he is a limited player but to win games you need to score and he does that. I would like to see us sign Giroud and if he shows us that he can settle and do the business for us then Skippy may well go in the summer but we need to keep him for the remainder of the season.

Did you know he's basically best mates with Keith Jackshun and always goes running to the press with stories bud? Think he is the dressing room mole.

Cringeworthy pic tbh. This is the guy who celebrated wildly on helicopter sunday and said a move to the huns would be a dream come true.
