    Stokes is far better than Fortune, he's rank.

    This isn't even a question. Stokes is a huge improvement over Fortune, at least for Celtic. He may have had some qualities, but he couldn't get it done here.

    Not a big fan of Stokes but I wouldn't insult him with this poll, he has been miles better for us than Fortune.

    i think fortune started to look better when put on the right wing.... just before we sold him.
    All in all as a striker stokes is better.

    Fortune was a far better winger than he was a striker, I am not Stokes biggest fan but you know he will score for fun in the SPL.

    Had we seen more of Fortune at RM / RW we may have had a different opinion of him but what we did see, at CF, wasn't good.

    What we have seen of Stokes so far is that he can score far more goals than Fortune ever would.

    To compare them both as ST, Stokesy every time, to compare them on the RW / RM could be a different story.

    For me though, it's about product, return and what you give to the team - Stokesy gives goals and assists to wins by a country mile and then some!
