Confusion reigns over Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur’s reported summer move to Rangers.
It had been proposed the Scotland international was a free transfer in June and was ready to come back north to his boyhood team, but the 30-year old former Hamilton man has claimed information pertaining to his contractual situation is wrong.
He said:
“I’ve already got a contract, I signed a four-year contract two-years ago. Yep! [two more years at Palace]”
Now this is an interesting claim because transfermarkt.com confirm his deal expires this summer, and furthermore there were no press releases at all regarding McArthur signing a new deal in 2016.
We’re not calling the lad a liar, but we are very confused as to when he actually signed a new deal at Palace and why there was absolutely no report of one.
There are, even more interestingly however, reports that he signed a new three year deal in 2015. It seems a little odd that he would have signed another one year later for an extra four years.
Either way, Steven Gerrard may not even want him! We’ll see.
If thats how hes gonna play it,
He can Sit at Palace! 😎👍
…Id Rather we went for McGinn anyway
