It's obviously important we tie up our best players in the fight ahead and Lennon for one will most ceratainly want Beram Kayal as a solid fixture in midfield, but talks on a new contract are dragging on and Kayal himself has now come out and added a few comments which clearly show things are near to stalling.
Beram said today: “It’s very important to play for who wants you most, I enjoy it at Celtic and I want to stay but who knows what might happen in the next few weeks. But they must treat me at the level I deserve”
That talk tells you everything. He is frustrated.
The player is on a reported £7,000 pw and he is also aware that Scott Brown for example is on £23,000 pw & Joe Ledley on £27,000 pw. Therefore it's fair he's due a rise,yes?
Peter Lawwell is the negotiator and if Celtic are serious about keeping Kayal and not looking to making him feel less than some others, then, is an offer of £20,000 pw unfair?
My opinion is that it's not, and they should be offerring the player around that amount to make him feel as if he's worth as much as his midfield partners!
IF Celtic are playing hard-ball and treating the player shabbily then on Peter Lawwell's head it will fall.
The last three SPL trophies have went to Rangers and although the the books must be balanced we must also keep & show respect good players.
No more corner shop attitude. WE WANT TITLES & TROPHIES!
If we fail to sign him on a three year deal with the added option of an additional year on terms circa £20k+ then I for one will not be happy, the same goes for Izzy.
ReplyDeleteIf his demands are in line with the rest of the top earners then fair enough but if he's looking for silly money, cash in. He's had a good season but it's still only one season.
