I think he was going to sign for us, Celtic have told him to hold on as they might offer him a coaching role, he has ersed us about with this injury thing and we have wasted 2 months trying to sign him. Not our fault but we might have been better off telling him to forget it in July when he came up with this injury thing and moved onto someone else.

Hopefully we use the money for him on another player, possibly a defender as some have mentioned.
You need to be fair to him. He wanted to play for us and was in denial about how bad his injury was. He hasn't turned us down for Celtic. He didn't want to sign for us and not be good enough. Pretty commendable. His wages wouldn't have been that much either.
