I fully agree that those players playing regularly and well means they come with a premium for clubs who can afford better terms for these players.Just added it up there.

Spot on SPAw jeez, here I go again.........
For at least 98% of the population, a salary of £10,000 p/w is an unattainable pipe dream.
This in a country where there is still abject poverty, slum dwellings and where foodbanks and charity remain a viable source of nutrition and finance for a growing number of people.
I don't want to hammer footballers, but there is a fair amount of cognitive dissonance regarding their circumstances. I have to balance the argument because there is something obscene about non-playing members of staff picking up sizable bonus checks; however - it is difficult to find sympathy for someone who has to ply their trade for only 10 grand per week.
In the article featured on The Celtic Star, the example of Stuart Armstrong is cited, a moderately decent player who will not find himself among the pantheon of Celtic legends.
He is also a very bright boy who seems to have his career path mapped out and I'm sure his law-degree will be useful when he hangs his boots up. For all the time and study he put in to achieving that degree, I doubt that there will be many law firms who can offer him terms of 50k p/w. Perhaps he might choose to go down the agent route and live off whopping percentages of any deals he brokers......who knows?
What I do know, is that some footballers don't know they're born and that they might want to look a little closer to home and see what their lives may have been like if they didn't have a talent for playing the game.
I understand that market forces dictate value. The money wouldn't be readily available if there wasn't a market that could finance it, but it still sticks in my craw that genuinely talented people have to work ungodly hours and make incredible sacrifices to try and aspire to a quality of life, when a young footballer's biggest dilemma is whether to buy a jag or a Bentley.
It's not entirely the fault of the players, I think it's reasonable to say that they might not be in tune with the reality of the world, but all the same - I won't be insisting that the club be held to ransom so that some sleazy agent can buy a new holiday home.
All good tthings come to those who wait. If the boy is as talented as his agent thinks he is, then a club like Celtic can catapult him into the big-time through European exposure and domestic success.
Otherwise- it may well be a fade back into obscurity in the Championship.
But he'll have a nice car to remember it by.

Ffs how many times now have sky made an arse of the details? Have there not been quite a few recently? It could probably fill a separate thread its own!

I thought Bains play from the back was good, wow this guy can perform two jobs, sell Craig Gordon quickly, this guy gives us an option of having an extra player in the sub lineup without one been a keeper. Fucking SKY no wonder people stream it.

Celtic set to sign David Turnbull today or tomorrow.
So threads now moot.
We get together and support the bhoy whilst he wears our crest.
