Thread: Samaras : DEAL OR NO DEAL?

GEORGIOS SAMARAS still has his part to play in this title race, maybe not the starring role but he would be up for best supporting player if football had their own version of the Oscars. He has been instrumental in the last couple of Old Firm games, causing Rangers all sorts of problems and justifying Celtic's decision not to sell him in the January window. Although a quick sale would have boosted the clubs coffers, the pursuit of silverware has been given the bigger boost.

This throws up another question, one that splits Celtic fans right down the middle. Should the Greek Striker be offered a new contract by Celtic?

While I haven't always been the strikers biggest fan I think Celtic should move to tie him down on a longer deal. That being said Sammy has just turned 26 and will be looking for a lucrative deal for the next 3 years or so. Are we willing to pay top notch wages for a player who will spend a lot of his time on the bench?



If the big mans demands are reasonable then it is a no brainer for the club but if he wants the kind of wages that would see him alongside the top earners at the club then I think Celtic may let him go this summer.

If he does go this summer then he should leave with the Celtic fans best wishes and hopefully a few winners medals.

can't believe you lost the newsnow link

useless ****s

New deal then punt as soon as a decent offer comes in.

He's showed us he has some worth every now and again but he's not reliable enough for us.

New deal

No deal.


Cheers Sammy, but you're far too inconsistent. He'll command 20-25k in a new deal and there's no point in paying that much money for a guy who will make sporadic sub appearances.

He's already knocked back a 1-year contract extension in January which i think we had hoped he would take so we could punt him for some bucks in the Summer. He's probably looking for a 3 year deal and that's not on. A few good displays against the huns doesn't merrit a new contract. Maybe if the contract wasnt high in wages we should keep him, as he can be useful like we have seen since the turn of the year and I think Lennon knows how to utilise his ability, but that is pretty limited to the like of the huns and maybe hearts away or something....but I don't see him staying on his current wage (whatever that is). So no.

DEAL.
But not a biggie.

Probably a deal off the back of his old firm games. He's not needed, but he's sometimes good enough when he plays. Hope he learns to stand up at some point though.

depends on his wage demands, still think he can do a job but agree we shouldnt give him a long deal on top wages.
