Answer 2

Eddie, you're completely missing the point!

There was nothing anybody (apart from Balde himself) could have done last season, when we we're trying to get rid off him. We maybe accepted offers from clubs, but as someone said already if Balde actually refuses the wage package put forward by these clubs there is jack s**t we can do about it.

He has clearly been nudged out the door, Strachan seems to have no plans for him whatsoever and as such has probably told him this, in the hope that he will, want to find a move to another club and free up our wage bill.

Unfortunately (for us), he seems more inclined to (probably thinking about his future) remain on a very lucrative deal over a chance to play first team football, maybe not the ethics you want in a footballer, but who wouldn't, the chance to earn £30k a week against £15k, could be quite persuasive I imagine.

RFC no1, you see things from a very strange perspective. Strachan has never spent £5-6m on a player, the most was £4.4m on Scott Brown and I believe we've still to see the best out of him. Martin O Neill was the one that spent those kind of amounts, on players like £6m-Sutton, £6m-Hartson, £5.75 - Lennon, all fundamental players of a very successfull Celtic team, overrated!!??, you think these players were overrated?. Fair enough we didn't get anything for them, when they left, but thats because we had pretty much got the best years of their careers and let them go to smaller clubs to just finish out their playing days. They had all, more that paid their worth, by the time they left.

It was O' Neill as well who extended Baldes contract, so again no blame can be laid at Strachans door, hes just paying for a bad decision, made by his predecesor.

I'll give you Graveson and Donati, but even they didn't cost that much, show me a manager who hasn't made these mistakes in his career.

Ferguson - Juan Sebastian Veron - £28m

Mourinho - Shevchenko - £30m

Eddie. Aye, dinny get me wrong, I'd still rather we'd got rid of him for some cash and got his wages of the total bill, but it's no Strachan's bad management, he's had his hands tied behind his back on tryin to get rid of him. The two too blame are Balde for not leaving (but it's his choice) and O'Neill for giving him the extended and over paid contract.

Answer 3

We signed him for free he will leave on a free. We needed him last year (although he deserved to play more), we don't need him this year (apparently). Good luck to him, great servant for the hoops, wish him all the success wherever he ends up.

Answer 4

It just shows what a muppet the ginger whinger is.

How many millions is that he has now lost your club by buying overrated players for 5/6 million then selling them on at sometimes only a 1/4 of the price.

And you've just proved the point yourself about Bobo. That's another £1.5 down the drain.

And don't give me this about how it's saving on wages. He could have saved on his wages for the whole of the last year, and got a £1.5 million transfer fee on top of that.

Answer 5

"BOBO" is a clown

Answer 6

Sunderland offered £1.5million for him last year but could not agree wages with Balde because of the £30,000+ a week he's on at Parkhead (which for a player not even getting a sniff of first team action is ridiculous). By letting him go on a free transfer that would allow Sunderland to use the £1.5million as wages and then theres more chance of the two parties agreeing a deal. Plus what was offered last year is no direct indication of a players worth a year down the line, with less playing time and less time remaining on his contract.

Strachan could wait and hope someone comes in with an offer of a fee for both Balde and Gravesen, or he could allow them to move for free hoping to get deals done quicker and leaving him with time to delve into the transfer market with the funds freed up by not shelling out £70,000 a week in wages.

Answer 7

It gets him off the wage bill, and gets an unhappy player out of the dressing room.  Now, Strachan needs to do likewise with Graveson.  And Donati.  And Brown.  And ..........
