    If most people think Ralston is better than Lustig, or even Gamboa, most people are stupid.

    Ralston is a better option than Lustig imo because he will try and make runs if our RW is in posession therefore creating a bit more space by taking runners with him. He's shown he can be a goal threat. He will charge a winger and tackle. Ok he is a bit raw and can work on his defensive side. Lustig has been poor for a while now. Give me an argument why Lustig is better right at this moment. I don't think there is one.

    Gamboa I like, but it's patently obvious Rodgers doesn't ffs, that's why Ralston is getting game time.

    So if that makes me stupid then fair dos mate.

    I disagree. I can see where folk are coming from with Lustig but Ralston is so far off being a Rodgers type player it’s untrue.

    Lacks technical ability, lacks game intelligence and it’s being masked in the eyes of a support by laughing at Neymar whilst he ripped the absolute pish out of him and smashing a Hun also whilst being beat.

    Here’s my argument; Lustig is a far better player, experienced and a leader. Ralston is pish. Aye we’re now at the point we can do better than an ageing Mika but it isn’t Ralston.

    Amazing what a strong tackle on a Hun will do to folks opinion. Particularly going into a prolonged break after it where folk have forgot what he’s actually like.

    Ive nothig but respect for lustig and believe ralston does have potential....

    But...

    A (lets be honest) sub par RB in ralston, or an over hill *-the-bed in lustig....

    How the * have we come to this.

    Next we'll be debating a downed-tools wantaway calamity in boyata or a * worst-defender-in-a-celtic-shirt-since-scheidt hendry

    * me our defence is depressing as *.

    It's neither of those reasons that I would rather see him in the team. I'm just sick of Lustig being run ragged by the vast majority of LWs he's up against. It's a sorry sight I want to see a lot less of.

    Lustig is a far better player almost definetely because of his experience, something most people seem determined not to give Ralston. He is most certainly not a leader. Being a 'personality' in the dressing room does not make you a leader. When the chips are down he doesn't rally the troops.

    Ralston defo has something about him..

    But, the debate only highlights the need for a first choice RB if we exit another window without rectifying this, it will be a * disgrace.

    Bhoys an ghirls we can all debate who is the better option in Lustig or Ralston, but what we all agree on I'm sure is that we need a 1st choice RB. * me we've been screaming for one for long enough. Will we get one this window? I have my doubts.
