    With his ability, he could have been a major player for us, possibly even a great player. I don't understand why he'd be content with the way his career has gone, even on that money. What about personal pride? What about wanting to achieve something?

    He's retired in all but name. If he went someone and they actually put him on the pitch he'd get injured and would actually have to retire for real.

    He can sit here on this contract doing nothing but get massages at the AOL for the next 18 mints and pick up another £5m in wages and then he'll announce his retirement and live out his days as a wealthy man

    Totally agree with this but at least Coleman has now flushed him out and ended his Sunderland career in terms of him playing for us. There is no way in hell this lad will now put another Sunderland shirt on. The crowd alone would kill him. So it has been highlighted to the world that if this lad just sits the end of his contract out he's just a greedy lazy f*cker for all to see. We know it and he's knows out. Love Coleman me like it....love someone who says it like it is. So many of our managers have just looked the other way.....

    It's whoever gave him the contract that needs to be held accountable - disgraceful

    Probably Byrne but it's just so shocking - possibly leading to further relegation(S)

    Mate, think you've got the wrong end of the stick. He's refused it, he wants a pay off.

    Perfect place for him.
    I bet all of a sudden he's fit & well playing against Kilmarnock & Motherwell every week.

    It's only a link mate. an old one at that about an interest in a summer loan that's been regurgitated with today's news . It's just echo putting two and two together offering a possibility.

    We offered to rip up his contract, he refused without a pay off, We have told him no and put him on the free market. That's all that's happened. He on massive money, it's going to pretty easy to remain stuck with him if he doesn't fancy a pay cut. Were as much at his mercy as we've ever been. I'll pop corks with you when he's gone. Won't hold my breath on it being this window and even if we do I can't see us being completely free of our financial burden to him.

    What's the most Celtic will be willing to pay him? 20k-25k tops? Sounds like the lad wants his money one way or the other. Nobody is going to pay 35k a week for him, so if we do ship him out we could well still be paying the bulk of his wages for the next year and a half. :(
