    Calling him great is pushing it.

    Quality in full flow, a man down otherwise. Too inconsistent, not mature enough and constantly injured. Needs to man up, grow up and get himself in shape.

    I'm willing to push the boundaries, he is great when he's on it.

    Just a shame it's few and far between....

    I think his inconsistency is down to his injuries to be honest. Always start/stop rather than building up any sort of momentum, needs to get himself injury free.

    When of form I think he's a brilliant player, someone who we would definitely struggle to keep a hold of if he stayed fit for even half a season. Wingers like him of his quality wouldn't be available to is in our price range.

    Just hope he can get fit and stay fit because when he played last season he was brilliant.

    If he spends the majority of this season injured we should punt. Great player when fit but no point in paying him to play 10 games a season.

    Knowing our luck we'd sell him and he'll never get another injury.

    When players are injured they should get some sort of sick pay instead of a full wage like what happens to the avarege joes in the real world

    It's a joke him and borigter earn a full wage for doing * all to benefit us

    Unless you can prove they don't or anyone else can prove they don't then I will believe they do earn a full wage

    I'm 99 percent sure they do earn full wages when injured

    Celtic changed their pay system along time ago so basic wage became much smaller, and incentive-based contracts were introduced.

    While Forrest may still get his basic wage, he will be missing out on appearance, goal and win bonuses while he is injured.

    They probably do , however there are Insurance schemes that will cover wages in the event of injury and given the level of wages payable the club will have these in place. (I would hope).
    I believe its similar (insurance) to when a player gets injured on International duty, the association is liable for their wages, should they be injured playing then.

    Believe what you want, Celtic have had a more heavy bonus for 7/8 years now. We moved to it after the Bobo fiasco.
