Hi Ed, how are you doing?
There's a report suggesting Ryan Christie's contract runs out in December meaning he'd be free to talk to clubs in the Summer, do you know if this is correct?

{Ed007's Note - Contracts need to finish at the end of a season (apart from short-term deals), I think the Daily Fail are taking it from the point when he signed the extension which was midseason.}

He's just another one of the current squad who I would not miss a jot. Not only because of his many woeful performances (unlike his International games) , but he has never had a half-decent game against Sevco - even when we were dominant. I would be very disappointed if the new manager convinced him, (or any of the other squad members who have let the club and themselves down so badly) , to stay at Celtic. When you count the loans, the past-it's, the not-good-enough and the players who 'downed tools'; I am hoping for a large player turnover.

There's a possibility that Christie's poor performances are related to the overall unhappiness within the squad. Yes, he should be professional enough to step up regardless of the lack of harmony within the first team, and yes he's being paid to do it etc. etc. but there should be no doubt that an unhappy environment will affect all players to some degree.
It's a fact of life and a reality in every workplace that one or two (or more) unhappy employees in a group that relies on unity will definitely have a negative impact on some others as well. HH.

Pedro71 I hope he runs out along with the contract.

Christie is far too valuable an asset to Celtic to let him run his contract down.

Personally speaking I think he is a great player when he is on form. Has tons of energy, good technique and a good goal threat.

That being said I do think he will move on in the summer and I am sure we will get a decent fee for him when he does.

We should be working hard to get him to sign a contract extension. He is a great player who has had a bad season along with the rest of the team while being predominantly played out of position. he's still one of our most dangerous attackers.

I would try everything to keep him on his day he is a too quality player give him and Ajer 30 to 40 grand a week and a bonus build the team around them Ajer in holding midfield with Christie’s movement and running oofft.

The only players you will see on that kind of money have to be Larssonesque and while I rate both Christie and Ajer, I don't think either are deserving of that kind of salary in Scotland.
