Curious how WGS told the media a few years back how as a supposed 'matter of fact' how he listened to PL asking him for advice about going to Arsenal and as a supposed 'matter of fact' how PL turned them down, clearly telling us how lucky we are.
Well as a matter of fact, unless WGS was actually there at the supposed offer and witnessed any actual contract offer, WGS was as a matter of fact just repeating a PL story.
Mind you with the money PL earns at Celtic, unlike our players here, he would not be so easy to tempt away, PL earnings spread over the last few seasons already compete with top six EPL money
Never the less! its a little Curious if not a matter of fact, how no such PLC or PL statement came out urging KT to stay with Celtic and not join Arsenal, just a unspecific claim of supposedly doing all they could.
Anyone who believes KT made the move to Arsenal of his own design, does not understand how questions can be phrased to encourage the answer and aims you want.
EXAMPLE
Arsenal on the phone
Sorry Not for sale and is under contract so go away.
or
Kieran we've just had an offer from Arsenal, and to be fair to you if you want to speak to them, as you'll know we really can't compete with wages there, geez you can go earn 6 times what you are earning now, so thought it only fair we inform you and allow you to have a wee chat as we appreciate you so much.
Up to you of course, just thought you deserve to be told, as these once in a lifetime offers rarely come around, up to you lad.
Nothing to do with the 25 million for bottom line of course.
