I would like to see Lenny bring back Joe Ledley to our midfield, as I think we are missing his craft and industry in there, and we are going to need it for the league run in, Cup Final, and the Scottish Cup.Joe gives our midfield great balance and tackling power, and I would like to see Ledley back in there as soon as possible, as I don't think we are the same without him, and we need to win this league, this year.

He was banned for the Old Firm and Lenny obviously thought he wasn't needed for the Hamilton game yesterday. He'll be back for the Cup Final, no worries.
-
Glad to see he's finally being appreciated by our support, some of the * spouted about him was ridiculous, e.g. the "ghost", the "invisible man" etc.
He'll start in the cup final, I'd have no worries about that at all. -
Agree with both of you:50: -
yeah, amazing how quick people change their minds about a player.
him and kayal in the middle, wouldn't have it any other way. -
Ledley has to start from now on instead of Ki, he balances the midfield perfectly.
-
ledley is class and have always said he is a future captain of celtic
-
:50: add the fact we got a 4-6m player for * all.

Think he's been quietly effecitve in a good unit. But wouldn't say he's fulfilled my expectations so far. He has potential though. Certainly don't think he's as crafty or as good a tackler and orchestrator as the o.p. says.

He should and probably will be in for Ki who although talented has a lot of maturing to do before he fulfils his potential.
Ledley and Kayal are the midifeld pairing that will win us games. -

We won yesterday with Ki starting, I thought he was a liability?
Agree that Ledley is an important player for us. -

The guy does the unglamourous work and is constantly making himself available for a pass. He's an improtant link player and works well with Kayal. There's also the added fact of two assists against the Ragers that shows he's working well in the middle.

i think ki's done fine lately except the motherwell game
-
Good to see Ledley getting some overdue credit, i think there is still more to come from him i'd like to see him getting forward and getting a goal or two. He's going to be key for the run in.

Yeah I agree, Ledley has done OK since moving here, keeps things ticking over nicely, rarely loses possesion of the ball and keeps it simple thats why he is considered 'Invisible man' our CM's shouldn't be the centre of attenion, they should be the one's to create chances and help win the battle for possesion allowing us to start attacks, leave the headline makers for the strikers.
We got him for free, he is still young at 24 and adjusting to the spl, he would be the first name on the teamsheet for me.
I like to know what were going to get for 90 minutes when seeing a player's name when the team's are announced, when I see Ledley I know he is going to graft and keep the ball for us.
