The two are pretty much the same, Shaw will likely sign with Celtic when he can and Bannan will likely sign with us if we stay up. Unless you think the article is a lie? I can’t see him signing.. he must be on at least 20k a week here if not closer to 30k given how key a player he is. There’s nothing about our transfer dealings over the last 12-18 months that suggest we’re able to pay those sorts of wages going forward. So unless he’s going to resign on half the money in the knowledge that we’re going to be a lower mid table side at best and in a relegation scrap at worst then surely he’d be better off elsewhere. We know Brentford were in for him.. he could go to a top 6 side on his current terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Brentford were in for him.. he could go to a top 6 side on his current terms I'd be surprised if he signs, I was surprised last time he signed an extension. As far as the cost is concerned though, I think most clubs at this level will be readjusting due to COVID but in the past couple of years we have shed millions off the wage bill, another big chunk will go with Rhodes and probably Westwood so it wouldn't be unthinkable for Bannan to get a decent offer given the club judges his worth so highly.

If I was Scottish I’d probably want to spend my last playing days in Scotland. Also keep in mind Celtic normally attract crowds of 49,000+ and if you do well for them they treat you like a god. Stoke however is a craphole. Stoke may be a craphole but players love playing for Michael O’Neill, and Fletcher and Fox might be in his ear.

@owlstalk Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 It's like there's a competition to be the most anti-celtic You only have to look at the previous post Actually laughing Actually laughing. This situation is a lot of things, funny isn’t one of them. Not in my book anyway. Perhaps it’s just me. 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) A rare bit of positivity in a God awful season. Receiving any further positivity will depend on the club staying up.

I take what he said about staying with a pinch of salt for the reasons you’ve highlighted above. I think he’ll sign another contract, yes The guy has already demonstrated significant loyalty - whereas Fletcher seems more concerned with affording his latest Lambo.

But not sure how he is any different to Fletcher. Both could possibly walk away at the end of their contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
