    Lubo easily

    But as others have said, Naka was maybe more influential to the team because we had less good players around his time.

    I liked Naka as a player ,great passer of the ball and seen that killer pass,and we know would he could do with his freekicks .

    Lubo on the other hand has probaly been the best player ive seen in the hoops for maybe 15 years or so ,why he never got picked up at a younger age is beyond me ,We got him at 29 [is this correct] and my * he had the lot ,he put the fear of * into defenders eyes when he ran at them and his rapor with fellow players and the support was simply amazing ,just sorry we never got him earlier .

    its not even close.naka had about 20 games against the huns and showed up once.Lubo was a legend for a reason,lets not try to make average players who are good at free kicks bigger than they are

    Both, behind Larsson, my favourite ever Celtic players. Nakamura was so good, at one stage pretty much the only player with real skill and class in a team full of Caldwell's, McManus's and Hesselinks. Loved him, and provided lots of great moments.

    Lubo shades it though, as he provided just a few more great moments, and was just unbelievably good, with either foot, so amazingly talented, loved him.

    Both are great on their day, but Lubos the top man. Was more of a playmaker, great skill, two feet and a goalscorer. Naka was a brilliant player to have, especially as the team wasnt as good as o'neills. Deserved his player of the year in 2007.

    As others have said, Lubo's only fault was he didn't get the chance to play at Celtic Park sooner.

    Not as close as some would think. For all of nakas skill he lacked a certain mentality that kurb said skill for long periods weras lino rarely posted missing... He was alwYs a threat and very busy linking play or assisting strikers.

    So aye lubo for me. Nakas still great though. ( kinda reminds me of the kayal/Lennon debate)

    Has to be Lubo, Naka was great but too often found just wondering! Lubo had a bit of fight to him.

    Lubo, he was just incredible.

    I had the pleasure of watching him at CP and he was simply incredible. I'll never forget the look on his face as he scored the first in a 2-0 win over the huns in a midweek game.

    Easily one of the most naturally gifted players to ever walk out at CP.

    "Asked about his old adversary from his last days in the French championship, Zidane scarcely drew his breath before immediately pronouncing Moravcik one of the all-time great 'No 10s', maybe not a Maradona or a Platini but certainly worth a Hagi."

    says it all really.
