Correct
Quote ="childofthenorthern"This quote is attributed to MacNamara, in League Weekly, in response to rumours regarding a move to Celtic.
"Michael has been training the house down in pre-season and there is no chance of him going anywhere. We see him as a vital member of the squad. He is contracted here and we have no plans to let him go and he has no plans to go anywhere."
Sounds fairly unambiguous and let face it Celtic aren't going to pay silly money that would cause a rethink.'"
Seems pretty clear cut to me. One of our best performers in the closing winning run last season at , and I hope he stays like McNamara seems to think he is.
As has been said you couldn't blame him for leaving after the treatment by some fans (booing him whilst stood on the sideline before he'd even come on as a sub?! wtf!), but I think he'll be here this season and I see no reason why he can't continue to improve. I don't think he'll ever be world class, but he's already a more than useful squad player and I'm glad he's here.
