Sorry I don't think that's true. It was a good bit of business to get him on a new contract. That opens up the way to get a fair bit for him, it doesn't tie him to the club at all. Players are bought all the time who are on long contracts, it just mean the buying party has to spend more to get him. Respectfully, it's a bit of wishfull thinking to think the best goal scorer in scotland is staying with us. Of course, I will be over the moon if I am wrong.
