    I think any one of the players I mentioned would have complimented MONs team, that's not to say they're better, but they would have been good enough.

    Exactly, mate i agree there. But i'm just trying to point out the team is mediocre at the moment. Every game I go to just now I watch the team I love struggle, and it just looks like were going backwards, and it hurts me.

    Petrov - Broony (maybe not petrovs level yet, but he's the same age petrov was when he joined us, and we all know how his first season went.

    Caldwell - Bobo

    Loovens - Mjallby

    skippy - Hartson (ok, different type of player, but scores just as many goals as the big man did in his time)

    McGeady - Thomson

    throw in Boruc as the other guy said, and also hinkel for agathe, and you have 7 players from our team who could have played in MONs team

    Okay mate, thats your opinion and fair play to you. Heres the players you listed.

    loovens: looking good now and good prospect - instead of mjallby valgaeren balde, varga - dont think so
    caldwell: Great value buy but in comparison with players i listed above, no chance
    skippy: Larsson, sutton, hartson, moravcik, bellamy - no chance
    mcgeady: Yes
    broony: Squad player - couldnt dislodge petrov, lambert or lennon
    crosas: good player, as u say juries still out - far too weak and would never disloge previous mentioned midfielders above.

    That is my honest opinion, and i think its a fair one. I am just making the point how disappointed I am that the quality is not there just now and I love celtic and go watch them week in week out, and i think i am entitled to say when i think the team is mediocre.

    skippy's a bit of an enigma you know it's there but he just disnae bring it up enough

    having said that i think the problem lies mostly on his strike partners they clearly aren't up to the task

    Petrov was 20, brown was 22? Browns first season 2 years older than petrov was * too lol
    Mjallby was amazing and a real leader, sure loovens is good but nowhere near mjallby, captain of celtic and sweden.
    Seriously would u pick skippy over hartson?
    Mcgeady and thommo a possibility,, although thommo scored hugely important goals in massive games eg liverpool, barcelona, rangers
    Bobo on form was immense and as much as i love caldwell I dont think so tbh.
    Boruc definitely, the only real weakness in MON's team.

    Dont know if you missed my post above yours, I think we posted at the same time.

    And btw, I agree with you, the team has been mediocre this season, and there needs to be big changes, especially as we SEEM to have the core of a good team there, obviously somethings not right.

    But I will not give my opinions until after the final whistle next week.

    Yeah I replied to it mate. Thats a fair point mate, and you are most entitled to it. There is a good spine of players i.e boruc, caldwell,mcgeady, and brown and it is time they were properly complimented. I just hope they get their fingers out though as their is room for major improvements.
