    The guy is a fraud, obviously has no professional pride, happy sitting on his * and contributing * all.

    When we signed him we already knew his career was heading downwards due to injuries.

    He's not capable of playing at a good standard and nobody is going to pay him the wages he's on here. I doubt many people would give up the money as their pride was hurt.

    I don't blame him too much but the amount of money we've wasted on this guy is mental. May as well just pay him up and get shot of him.

    What does this guy actually do during the week? I don’t think he even trains with the B team/reserves. Is he that woeful that he can’t get on the bench for the B team?

    Aye, he's not to blame for the ludicrous contract he was offered.

    My point earlier about not blaming him too much; what's he really meant to do if he's injured or not picked? I don't know what's going on behind closed doors, but it's not his fault we've given him such a long contract! Not sure I can agree with calling him a parasite, he's not demanding anything of us really, just need to be more prudent when making signings.

    Last I heard he was part of the B team setup. Was a while back though.

    If he is he can at least pass on his experience to his team mates.

    He's a parasite for accepting a contract that was offered to him?

    Get real. He's been * with injuries and while we shouldn't have signed him, I don't doubt he'd have loved to have contributed on the pitch.

    Funny how people will say they'd never leave celtic for £1 million a day for a move to play footie in Saudi.

    But then gum up about a guy staying at the club and seeing out his contract

    He has been unlucky with injuries but he checked out a long time ago.

    Just checking his history and I'm surprised he played as many games as he had. I had in my head it would be less than 10 appearances.

    He was struggling before we signed him. Giving him such a long contract was a silly thing to do.

    He just seems to be completely forgotten and just lurks silently about the club.

    Let's be honest, we actually have no idea what his contract looks like, and even less idea how much he's getting paid.

    Any * here who thinks this is his fault or wouldn't do the same is just full of *. He would play every week if he could, just isn't going to happen

    When does the contract run to, he should've been punted for a reduced price ages ago if we arbt going to look at him, used to be a player! Feels like a horrible way to go out, if you've any self pride you'd be offski
