Right as it seems quite quiet on here.

Who is the best player you've seen live at parkhead that hasn't played for celtic?

{Ed007's Note - Ronaldinho.}

23 Dec 2019 16:01:12
Ronaldo or messi messi probably edges it.

23 Dec 2019 16:09:02
Alfredo Morelos.

23 Dec 2019 16:11:25
Johan Cruyff just barely remember him.

23 Dec 2019 16:14:36
Xavi, who is yours Kev83.

23 Dec 2019 16:20:49
Andy Halliday.

23 Dec 2019 16:24:17
Kontermann.

23 Dec 2019 16:58:56
Sebo.

23 Dec 2019 18:32:56
Di Stefano
Real Madrid beat us 3-1 in a friendly in 1962. We celebrated drawing 1-1 with them in the second half as if it were a cup final victory!
I was also in the schoolboys’ enclosure for the European Cup final a couple of years earlier. What a player he was!

23 Dec 2019 18:45:14
Joey Barton 🤣.

23 Dec 2019 18:59:45
Most naturally gifted = lubo.

23 Dec 2019 19:12:00
Rafael sheidt.

23 Dec 2019 19:33:17
I think big Marvin comper is my shout? 😂 never played for Celtic 😂.

23 Dec 2019 19:50:17
Lubo sheidt and commper all played for celtic.

23 Dec 2019 19:56:28
Del Piero for me. Absolutely loved watching him growing up and watched him score a beauty of a free kick at Parkhead in 2001. Thankfully we went on to win the game 4-3.

23 Dec 2019 20:38:05
Messi.

23 Dec 2019 20:40:01
But the best player I’ve seen in the flesh was Maradonna.

23 Dec 2019 21:50:53
For me its ronaldinho as well. He was a joy to watch. That type of player is the reason we watch football. The smile he always has on his face while playing just shows his love of the game as well.

23 Dec 2019 21:59:29
Kevin Kyle.

24 Dec 2019 01:08:14
A couple from outside the box that I left games thinking what a player that was are Robert prosineki and juninho of Lyon and then there was mbappe and rabbio a couple of seasons ago that were standouts also just to be different from everyone else 😂😂.

24 Dec 2019 01:16:43
Pirlo.

23 Dec 2019 12:00:26
Merry Christmas to you Ed and all posters have a lovely time.

{Ed007's Note - And the same to you mate, Merry Christmas.}

23 Dec 2019 15:09:22
I would also like to wish ED, his family, and everyone on the site a very happy Christmas.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Gerry and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.}

Well another victory on Saturday made harder by our own not taking chances, but to be fair the players are giving everything and look tired and really need this winter break.
Without taking Saint Mirren lightly I would rest French Eddy for this game, it looks like pitch will be heavy as rain is forecast, give Griffiths and Bayo game time.

23 Dec 2019 10:54:10
We only get the same points for beating The Klan on the 29th as we do for beating St Mirren midweek. Strongest team out for me every time. The Klan game will take care of itself TIM.

23 Dec 2019 14:58:31
Bayo!? No chance of that, we need to win and he is simply not good enough and NL knows it. I agree with Griff though with Eddy in reserve on bench.

23 Dec 2019 23:42:57
guys it hurts me to say this but we need a goalscorer who can score regular and the wee man griff is not that person just now. i don't want to look back if we don't get 10iar and say, see if. we need to get the money spent on a current proven goalscorer. as i say i love the wee man but we can't waste time hoping he finds his shooting boots. sorry wee man.

23 Dec 2019 09:18:32
This deal for the Brazilian bhoy feels similar to the rat deal to oldco red tape and counter accusations flying about.

22 Dec 2019 23:53:33
Never mind Rhodes.

Cosgrove is exactly the type of player we have needed for a few years now.

Surely a bid of £3M and Griffiths on loans til the summer would be good business for both clubs.

23 Dec 2019 07:37:27
NL has stated Griff isn't going out on loan to anyone Buster88, Griff was in training voluntary when the players had Thursday off.

23 Dec 2019 07:45:01
No where near the standard required. Either of them.

23 Dec 2019 09:48:04
As back up cosgrove would do fine he's battered in 20 goals just now a few pens right enough and any striker of class ain't going to come if he's 2nd choice to eddy.

23 Dec 2019 09:50:31
Would take Rhodes no problem. January is always a tough window so even a 6 month loan deal. I see a lot of people not for Rhodes but these will be the same guys that didn’t want Sinclair and he turned out out a very good signing.

23 Dec 2019 11:16:38
I think Griff would play every week at Aberdeen and I'm sure Tommy Doherty would take care of him up there. Get his confidence and sharpness back. Get him back for pre season in peak condition. When Edouard is fit Griff isn't going to get the playing time he needs.

23 Dec 2019 12:18:50
Where has this Rhodes story came from he's playing regularly for Sheffield.

23 Dec 2019 12:50:18
Naw he's not mally. Just 10 appearances this season and 3 goals.
As for cosgrove has scored 20, I mind chris killen doing something similar and we signed him.

No one of a certain class will come play back up to eddy?
Not to sure about that seeing as eddy came in as a back up.

23 Dec 2019 15:57:40
Wouldn't want Rhodes anywhere near the team he offers nothing apart from a poacher in the box. Cosgrove is too slow imo and isn't anywhere near Celtic class. Would take that Sporar. Probably out of our price range but wouldn't mind the Young Boys striker Nsame. Ready made replacement for Eddy. Would rather we loaned out Bayo and not Griffiths.

23 Dec 2019 16:11:59
Cosgrove is at his level. We should be aiming higher.

23 Dec 2019 16:14:39
Griffiths is finished. Just running down his contract.
