Ed do you think Maeda will sign a new contract?
{Ed007's Note - Honestly I'm not even sure what I think he will do, he has 2 years left on his deal so it's not THAT pressing right now although it would be good to get him tied down on a new long term deal. One of the factors could be depending on Rodgers plans going forward & I think the same about the Taylor situation, if GT has decided to stay then that probably means that Rodgers has talked him round and promised him certain things, GT isn't going to sign if Rodgers is only going to be here for another year so hopefully Rodgers relationship with Maeda is enough to convince him to stay too.
On the other hand there will be plenty of interest in Maeda this summer and at nearly 28 this could be his ideal time for him to get a "big" move, his stock has never been higher and who knows what kind of season he will have next year.}

Not sure about the GT situation Edd about whether BR stays or not, a think he’s holding out for what he wants not what he's been offered as av said b4 his wife isn't to keen on moving away with the new arrival, so thers a bit of a stalemate ther mate well that's the word in Town. totally agree about Maeda but would love him to sign again he frightens the life out of them.
{Ed007's Note - His wife was pregnant for 9 months and nobody mentioned it when discussing GT's future, then when she had the kid all of a sudden it was a factor - it was all about game time and/or money - when she 9 months to tell Taylor she wanted to stay in Scotland. If Taylor has been given guarantees by Rodgers about game-time I think he will stay, there are still stories/rumours he's already signed a pre-contract with Dinamo Zagreb but I can't see that being true.}

If any man can work out a woman before, during or after a pregnancy they would be multi millionaires mate ?.

ED007 we would all love Maeda to stay, but as you say he has been exceptional for us, but so was Kyogo when he first came, who is to say Maeda form will continue, also there is our Board to consider, if a big offer comes in our Board will sell him.
{Ed007's Note - No they won't.}

If we get offered anything over £15 for Maeda we should take it.

Anything less than £25m would be Celtic giving Maeda away as a present .
He is reaching his peak as a player playing in Europe . His manager BR has worked out how to get the best out of him .
It may have taken the shock Kyogo move and Celtic not able to sign any of the players they wanted for us to find how how to use Maeda best . It seems he is best playing both winger and striker throughout match . No defender can relax as he doesn’t give any a moments peace .
We haven’t sold anyone over last 3/ 4 yrs that comes near Maeda in helping his fellow players.

I’m to say Maeda’s form will continue tim. It just will. The guy has always been brilliant in my opinion.
