    Commons I believe is our most gifted player at the moment but lacks a good engine

    Mathews has a great engine and should become one of our main talents in the near future

    Hard to say

    For me, Ledley is the best player. Commons has been the most influencial this season so far though.

    Undecided between Commons and Brown.

    Commons offers more going forward than Broony, but hes not the captain for nothing and drags the team by the scruff of the neck in alot of games where we look to have hit a brick wall.

    brown, lustig, and matthews are both very very good in their respective roles. I'd tend toward thinking lustig and matthews are best in the side without being able to pick a winner between the two.

    Scott Brown is in no way anywhere near our best player in a footballing ability/technical ability sense.

    Crazy that some people seem to think he is though?

    If everyone plays to the best of their ability then it's probably Samaras as when he's really on it he can slalom past anyone on the planet.

    But considering he only plays to his potential once every 497 days i'd have to say Commons.

    He was our best player last season domestically and has been our only half-decent player so far this year.

    I dread to think where we'd be without him.
    Well, we'd be without European football for a start.

    Adam Matthews has the lot;

    Pace, technique, good cross, very decent shot and really knows how to defend.

    Add all that into the fact that he's just 21 years old, he's magnificent.

    This myth that Brown can't pass should have been well expunged by now. True, he used to be hopeless and just your typical British midfield headless chicken, but he's upped his game considerably in the last few years and there's a reason he's more than held his own against the likes of Pirlo, Gerrard and Xavi.

    He has kept all the qualities that made Celtic by him in the first place, but has massively improved his passing ability and accuracy and also his discipline. Ignorant commenators still refer to him as a "hothead" or "wildcard" and the likes but can anyone tell me the last time he got a red card? Or even a yellow?

    I personally don't think he is our best player, but there's nothing at all wrong with the suggestion that he is. He's certainly our most inspirational player, the only one willing to take responsibility, kick some arses and move the team forward.
    If all our team had Broony's motivation we would be on our 4th consecutive Champions League title by now.

    I voted for Sammy. He's the most naturally gifted player we have in the squad, without a doubt. When we're playing in Europe, he's the player that opposition players, managers and fans single out. He really is unplayable at times and he's a vital player at the very top level.

    Commons is a very good player but I get the impression that's mostly down to a lot hard work on the training ground so there's always going to be a "limit" there. That said, he's the only player who has turned up this season and he's probably our most dangerous player domestically now that Hooper's gone.

    Forster is a very good shout as well. He needs to iron a few things out but he's an excellent shot stopper.
