Ive have it on good accord that the Paper talk about Paddy McCourt are actually wrong Paddy will be offered a new Deal at Celtic on pay as you play deal. Lenny Feels This suiys both Club and Player as Paddy has asked Lenny to let him remain at the Club he grew up supporting and Let him get his hands on one more SPL Winners Medal!

If he is on pay as you play he will end up owing the club money. DH

Its all over the celtic fb pages that he's away after the cup final if he kept fully fit with less injuries i'd be happy keepin him as an impact player but surely he would want to leave for regular football

Aaaaaa brilliant, if true (very doubtfull) it'll be up there with some of the clubs decisions on loan deals! Paddy knows he will get a constant wage elsewhere and wouldn't risk pay as u play deal and I hope he goes too!

Paddy has been a disappointment, let him leave, rather see one of the youths promoted to first team squad to gain experience.

It's a shame it didn't work out for paddy, he's a nice guy. I met him at Belfast airport this time last year, 16 of us coming back from a golfing wknd. He sat with us and had photos taken in the departure lounge nothing was a problem for him. Hope he finds a club and stays injury free.

He should have been gone 3 years ago! Waste of spot and wages, has talent but dosent live up to it and is nowhere near good enough for Celtic. A youth player would be better off and that's an u17 player lol

Is that you Paddy? Lol. Worst celtic player in a generation. Completely useless. Neilbhoy.

If it was a choice between Paddy and some of the loan signings I would take Paddy any day of the week. His heart is in the club and with the fans. I do wish fans would think more like fans as sometimes some fans appear to act like psuedo bean counters. You know the phrase, the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Paddy is a talented football player, not a robot and yes he has his human weaknesses but he is a great lad who loves the club and even in this day and age it should mean something. Sopotcelt.

Ive stated before, I'm a Paddy fan and I'm a Celtic fan but I'm not a Paddy and Celtic fan. He is genuine a good lad who often sorts out tickets for local lads, me included. I think maybe a wee spell in MLS would suit him, nice cosmopolitan style of football and the likeability factor, he'd be a hit. Hope all works out for him. TTTS

We have no need for Paddy McCourt, one trick pony with no pace and would not get in to our starting 11 on a good day. Free up the wage and let him continue his career elsewhere.

The sooner he's off the better, I've said it before I'd rather have kept McGinn.

I am a bit disappointed by this anti-Paddy stuff. Yes he has never lived up to the potential but injuries and lack of chances have had a hand in that. I was at Fir Park last season when we were a goal down and he came off the bench and changed the game. Set up 2 goals and we won the match. Just one example of what his low (relatively speaking) wages have been worth. How many of the "duds" have changed games to his extent?

Looking at Hartrtlepools young 19 Defender/Defensive Midfielder Jack Baldwin, John Hughes reckons if this guy had been fit for the whole seaon they may have stayed up and has raved about him to our scouting staff,

the only player to make the Nothern Echo's, North East team of the year from outside the PL

believed to be one for the future,
