Cracking player but too much of a sicknote everywhere he has been. derby bent over backwards for the lad and he simply wouldn't sign the deal.
Actually Kris Commons wanted to sign a new contract at Derby but Derby didn't offer him what he wanted to stay so they flogged him on a cheap to Celtic for £300,000 because at the time Adam Appleby was tight we hardly forked out money financially and had a manager who was put in place to lower our financial mess that we was under when we was in the PL in 08.

If we had the big financial backing like we have now Kris would have definitely been given a new contract to sign and wage demands would have been met for one of our top players.
