    Gordon Strachan certainly never got the best out of Jarosik that's for sure. He played him out of position most of the time. :31:

    Donati and Jarosik could have been two great signings for us but we never saw the best of either of them consistently.

    Evertime Caddis played he always seemed to have a good game but for some reason he never made it at Celtic. Looked like a player to me.:rolleyes:

    Aye, bit of a blunder there.

    Everything happens for a reason though. If we'd kept Shay Given for his whole career then we'd never have bought Artur Boruc and I wouldn't have some of my favourite Celtic memories. :celt_2:

    Maybe we could've got a bit of money for him later down the years instead of letting him go for nothing.

    Then we would've still had Boruc :icon_mrgreen:

    True that. We might well have had the UEFA Cup sitting in our cabinet in 2003 as well if we'd had Given. :54:

    Caddis, Broto, Pearson

    Caddis should have been kept by the club and maybe loaned out for a few years as i always thought he had potential

    Aye, you're probably right :54:

    Off topic but I would love to see him here next season :celt_2:

    I was never that sure about Paul Caddis.

    He was too wee to be a full-back and I'm not sure he had the skill to play right midfield/right wing. I'm not convinced he would have made it at Celtic.

    I voted Caddis but im convinced he should have been a right winger as opposed to a full back. Also voted Crosas and Doumbe - decent players who never got a fair crack for whatever reason (doumbe unlucky with injury to be fair)

    Crosas, Misun, Sno, Donati,, Jarosik, Zhi and Doumbe should have all been given more chances, Jarosik has been immense in La Liga and Donati was quite good in Seria A

    Thought Zheng Zhi was a decent player, don't know what happened to him. Wouldn't get in the team now mind you since we have Kayal/Ki/Ledley.

    Think Lenny would have got the best out of Crosas, and he'd have looked like the player that got coached in the Barcelona youth system. Plus he loved Celtic and I think in this new team he could be a quality play maker with his passing.

    Though Riordan was good too, but never played in an out and out attacking position under Strachan...
