    You're probably talking about 3 seasons for the 2 of them. Sammy having about 10 goals a season record and Stokes a 20...

    Saying that, Sammy's currently got 6 this season. Could be his best return yet for us.

    I'd like him to become a Centurion, I reckon he'll be held in higher regard when he leaves than he is now.

    He has his flaws but he is the main man for us as far as Europe is concerned.

    Hartson only got 109(201) in all comps and Sutton 86 (199) so being a centurion isn't all that tbh...It's his European goals that matter most and be remembered for.

    He's 5 away from being our second all time top Euro goalscorer - that's what I think he'll be remembered for.

    Hartson is a centurion...

    And he isn't 5 away, he has 11. A long way to go to get to Larsson's 37.

    Samaras has 12 european goals for Celtic - Sutton/ Johnstone are tied second on 16.

    Hartson isn't a league centurion which I think is held in more value.

    A centurion is a centurion, 100 goals for Celtic.

    He still won't beat Henrik's European Record for us either.

    He will get about 150 goals for us before he leaves

    He's here for atleast 4 more seasons

    Obviously, that was just me saying he won't after someone said he's 5 off of it.

    No-one in our history is near Henrik for scoring on that stage.


    EDIT: I'm a *, just re-read his post and it said second top goalscorer in Europe, not top :56:

    Ignore me, am no feeling well :54:

    Sammy can pre-sign with another club as early as January, correct?

    Not good.

    Super worried about this one.

    Even though he's only scored 69 in 228 some games? :56: More chance of us winning the European cup again. He'd have to play until he was in his 40s.

    He's never been a big goal-scorer and he never will be. He's not clinical enough, nor does he get into the right positions. Unlike Stokes, for example, who is close to 100 goals in Scotland.

    Lucky to hit 100 anytime soon. That'll take him a few years and all.

    I reckon it'll take him 2 years to get to 100. I think this season you'll see him beat his best record of 19 in a season for us. He has 6 already and he is looking more clinical, getting in better positions. Being played more upfront than on the wing, with a licence to roam like he would like to.

    It'll be interesting to see how he does, also more competition for his place now, which might spur him on a bit. I can't see him getting to 150 in 4 years but I reckon within the next 2, if he signs a new contract, he'll be a centurion.

    Wonder if Stokesy can beat him? If he gets a new contract as well... which both should.
