Essentially holding the players development to ransom cause he won’t sign a contract.  Pathetic behaviour yet you will get the usuals defending Celtic.  Scandalous behaviour from a club. Wanting to get two young players that walk on a free next summer tied down on new deals before making a decision on what to do with them this season. Absolutely scandalous I do say.   Didn’t take long. They should have a plan in place for every youngster regardless of what they do/their contract situation. “We won’t loan you out unless you sign a contract” isn’t the way to go about it.  If it works and Vata signs the contract good luck to him.  I couldn't give two sh*ts about Celtic as a club so your "here comes the usual that defend them" means f**k all.   Fair enough. Entitled to your opinion but for me Vata would be niave to sign the contract under those circumstances.

I think he should see out the year too and go somewhere else too. Though nothing wrong with a club wanting to sort out a contract before making a decision on what to do with a player for the season.

Instead of having to organise a loan for said player then might be forced to sell rather than lose them on a free. That really the only circumstances at play. You often see clubs getting lads to sign 12 month extensions before going out on loan. Finn Azaz must have signed about four contracts since his move to Villa.

Edit:

Just as Phillips was mentioned here, Jake O'Brien could well have went out on loan this season rather than being sold if he wasn't able to leave for free next summer.

I know the lad that owns Lyon owns 40% of Palace but couldn't see Palace selling him if his contract wasn't up next summer.

Great move, League One is a higher standard than the Scottish Premier League outside of the ugly sisters.

Watching him play in midfield for Fleetwood today - his touch is way too loose for that position. Just cost Fleetwood a 3rd goal letting the ball roll under his boot, and it's far from the first time its happened in the game.

When's the last time he actually played in midfield though? Would want him to get a run of games there before making any conclusions.

The midfielder comment had me confused at first but seems they've moved Lawal into midfield after Charlie Adam took over.
