    Yeah, I agree with that... I say we need another defender, but wether Mjallby stays or goes, I still say we need 1 Defender.

    Let him go. We need someone who is comfortable on the ball and has a bit of pace. But who?

    Just read on the bbc website mjallby has signed for levante. fair enough he was too slow and now that gets him off the wage bill, he would have been taking home 15k plus per week. I dont think celtic will miss mjallby.

    Veteran defender Mjallby returns to AIK

    Former Sweden international and Celtic defender Johan Mjallby has signed for AIK Stockholm.

    Mjallby returns to his former club on * terms but does not plan a long spell with the team he once represented with distinction.

    Mjallby, who turns 34 next month, said: 'All I want to do is end my career with AIK and play at least one more game for the club my heart belongs to but first I must get over my knee injury and be fit.

    'At present I am not fit to play for any team never mind AIK.'

    I do miss Mjallby at the back. You don't realise how important someone is until they aren't there anymore [​IMG]

    Same with Agathe really, everyone slates him, but as soon as he's not playing, we miss him.

    Mjallby retires...

    [​IMG]

    Former Swedish international Johan Mjallby, who played six seasons for Scottish club Celtic, is retiring after battling knee injuries for years.

    Mjallby, 35, played 49 games for his country but has struggled with a bad knee since captaining Sweden's 2002 World Cup squad. He tried to return to his native club, AIK, this year but only played one game before being injured again.

    "After a lot of consideration, I feel that my body has had enough of sports at this level,'' Mjallby said. "I got to realize my dream of finishing my career with AIK, even though I had hoped for more playing time.''

    Known as a tough and physical defender, Mjallby played 10 seasons for AIK between 1989 and 1998, before moving to Celtic, where he won three league championships with fellow Swede Henrik Larsson. He also played one year for Spanish side Levante in 2004, but his knee problems forced him to sit out much of the season.
