Even if we did send him up to Celtic on loan for the next two years, it would probably cost us £4m in wages to play him there, assuming Celtic agreed to pay him £20k a week. We were bloody stupid to give him such a long extension on his contract.

keep the ball?have I missed something?
This reminds me of when we sold Townsend to Boro. The right time to sell a decent pro on the decline.
To be fair, I'd been wanting us to sign Thompson for ages.And Curcic.... and Collymore....
