    I agree with the person that said this is one of the weakest EPL's & I reckon MON's team would have been top 4 easily.

    It's not one of the weakest. How on earth is it one of the weakest? What yous mean is, it's closer, less of a points gap between teams. That don't make it weak. I don't know how you can judge a league other than how sides do in Europe really, even then you're not getting the best reflection.

    They would have found it very, very hard playing quality every single week. Top half in the middle most likely.

    Why are we so obsessed with Celtic and the EPL ? It's not happening, let it go.

    Obv with the money we would get we would up well up there. But this current team would be 13-16 like you said. Still, top of the league :D

    Weaker therefore closer, top 4 teams are not as strong as they have been.

    Just being honest . Which players from Celtic or rangers would get games for top 10 epl sides , how many teams from top 10 sides are looking to sign players from the old firm ?

    Not a hunnish comment at all. Get real FS

    - Celtic belong where they are. It's the way it should be.
    - eh? closer don't make it weaker. It may mean others are better. It's a closer league this year but I don't think it has became any weaker in comparison to other ones

    I'm not saying we're a top ten side, but we certainly wouldn't finish 'rock bottom.' We've got some good potential in Ki and Forrest, any top ten side would want those two imo. Not saying they'd make the team immediately but certainly they have enough promise. And Maloney when he's on form could do a job for several top ten sides. In fact, the top ten in EPL isn't even that strong. Blackpool are in the top ten. They'd have all our players.

    Everybody keeps using the line about Blackpool. Right, well done to them for what they have achievedm but the fact is they are quite limited and have been lucky. I don't know if it's their fans optimism, the fact that every game is a cup-final. But they are not really a top-half side. Theyre doing well, but they are not a reflection. Mind Hull (not saying Bpool will do the same, I don't know), where 6th or something, then only just managed to survive. They aren't a true reflection.

    I know, it's a bit of a cheap argument, But looking at the current top ten there are a few teams who would have quite a lot of our players, wouldn't you say? Stoke would want any of our centre-midfielders I think - I mean, surely Whitehead, Delap, Whelan and Wilson aren't better than what we've got. And Izzy would get into most top ten teams IMO. Newcastle would take Hooper, surely, I think he's far better than Ameobi/Lovenkrands/Best.
