    Barry Robson, JVOH, David Marshall and Jackie McNamara. I only get to see Celtic 5/6 times a season (plus games on TV of course), but I have heard all of these players get stick inside the ground which surprised and disappointed me.

    Sorry, but to me he is one of the most overrated players we have had, I just don't get the hype at all, Brown, Wanyama, Kayal and Ledley are and were all better players than him.

    "Joe Ledley is under rated"

    is the most used comment inside Celtic Park.

    Got a sneaky feeling Ledley will win here :smiley-laughing002:

    Maloney could have been world class, if not for injuries. He's showing how good he is now at Wigan, even winning the FA Cup with them.

    So true.

    This has been said so many times now that he clearly isn't under rated at all.

    Paul Hartley and Barry Robson, in 2008 they were really excellent.

    Ki, a lot on here didn't rate him too high, I thought he was an excellent player, kept the midfield ticking over.

    Lee Naylor, the stick he got from the fans was absolutely pathetic.

    Juninho. Vastly under-rated. He was immense for us in all the big games

    He looked like a angry little bouncer trying to play football.

    I was a bit harsh on Balde for a couple of seasons he was excellent.

    Seriously man, he kept * passing it to Scholes who absolutely killed us (along with Saha) that night. Still think we woul have at least got a draw that night if not for Gravesen.

    Lee naylor during the 07/08 season right through to the end of his Celtic career was absolutely shocking. Every time he got into a crossing position he would blaze it behind for a goal kick. He had a good first season but after that he was absolutely shocking. He was the start of our ''Left back issue'' before we got izzaguire in. His performances deserved all the stick he got. He made Papac look like Roberto Carlos.

    There's no way Brown is better than him, or Kayal for that matter. I'll give you Wanyama and maybe Ledley. However Ki is criminally underrated and statements like the one you've just given proves it.

    He's an exceptional passer, with exceptional vision which none of the above players come close to having, our system probably was the best to suite his style of play for the seasons he was here.

    Brown is better than him.

    In our set up and system Brown is much more effective and probably in the style of the league too. However Ki is by far the better footballer.
