    I agree. He still has qualities, in fact he has turned in some good performances this season but once people get it in their head he's "done" even when he has a good game it is ignored. I agree injuries and age has caught up with him and his time at Celtic is coming to a end but lets not get silly about it, especially with a guy who clearly loves Celtic. As a side note, he had a good World Cup for Sweden which was only a matter of months ago, they clearly didnt think he was "done".

    Tbf though I’ve been saying it for months man. He doesn’t offer half as much going forward as he used to, and isn’t as reliable defending either. He has zero pace and strength.

    Been skinned alive week in week out since the Bayern game. Sad because you can see it in him that he knows a hindrance at this point. Brendan and the board should never have let it get to this point. The man should be in the squad for 10 but any contract extension can get to * at this point.

    Never had pace or strength but he’s geriatric now.

    Should’ve been sold 3/4 years ago tbh.

    Yes. He had a good first couple seasons, but after our CL run in 2012 he’s been largely done. He pops up with a domestic assist now and again which blinds people like you but it’s the bare minimum expected from any Celtic fullback. Defensively he’s nowhere near good enough.

    People like Lustig cos he’s a mad silly * who puts beachballs on his head and stole a cops hat, but I’m sorry the raw facts on the pitch are he’s nowhere near technically or athletically good enough, and hasn’t been a long, long time.
    Put your emotions aside.

    Yeah, I definitely just like him because he puts objects on his head.

    I’m glad someone has pointed that out, put him down like a dug!!!!

    That's just rubbish. He is declining no doubt about that, but he was fantastic in the invincible season and under Ronny and Lenny too. Last season the signs were there though and he's been pretty bad this campaign too. His legs have gone and you can see his confidence isn't what it used to be BUT he's still a good squad player and if Lenny was his manager right now his limitations wouldn't be as exposed.

    One of my favorite players, and would be happy for him to be on the bench and a backup center back option. But as a first teamer or full back he's finished at this level. He's been great ,but honestly would probably be best for him to move on.

    Did people not like him before that? Mean, that was a good five years into his Celtic career...

    Some did, some didn’t. Some saw his flaws. Others thought he’s good for a free transfer from Norway. He goes down as a good signing, but he’s well past it and should never be wearing the armband in any game.

    His antics have made him a bit of a cult hero which makes people like you reluctant to see the back of him, but he shouldn’t be kept on just for the * of it. Celtic waste too much on wages as it is.

    No idea what brendan’s Problem is with Gamboa but he can’t be worse than Lustig. He’s at the very least a * of a lot quicker.

    People like me aye? Where have I said he does ‘t need replaced? What I’m saying if you think he wasn’t good 4 years ago you’ve not got a * clue a out football.

    But it’s pretty clear you don’t watch many of our gamss, so to be expected really.
