Best Player at Celtic
Go for it guys. Not including Goal Keepers, who is the best?
I'm going with Paddy McCourt.
I know he hasn't out-classed the best of opponents yet but at the same time hasn't had any decent game time against them. This bull-shit that he's a impact player doesn't wash with me either. I've seen him from the start take on full fit teams and put the ball in the net.
He's got the George Best thing about him and now let us see it when we've very little to lose. Just give him a team to work with as in no other wingers....just ball winners beside him.
Hinkel and Brown are up there for their own reasons but McCourt is our most talented player for me.
If anyone votes Keane or a loan player they're idiots.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
McCourt is the most talented but it doesn't matter because he has the work rate of an infant. He's good when people are tired but he lacks the ability to operate within a team.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
That's exactly why I went for ball winners behind him. He can thread a pass, take on men and SHOOT. Class player.Originally Posted by Diegan
Re: Best Player at Celtic
McCourt probably had the most raw talent but the booze the smoking and the general lackadaisical manner of his lifestyle in Derry and at Rochdale means he'll never hit close what he could have.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
That's sad if true and if of course he hasn't changed.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Lennon and BBJ were hardly ever fit with us
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Lennons game wasn't exactly a lung burster though. BBJ always seemed to have 'back' injuries as well like McCourt. Think this is club code for something else perhaps?
Re: Best Player at Celtic
True about Lennon. He was hardly an Edgar Davids or to our level an N'Guemo type.
Couldn't comment on Hartson.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
he's nearly 2 years with us, surely he must have some improvement
Re: Best Player at Celtic
He's had a number of injuries which set him back. I think one of the reasons he hasn't played since his showings against Falkirk and whoever else is because he got "hurt" again.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Paddy has serious potential, if only he was spotted earlier in his career.
We can't sing about Connolly,
We can't sing about Sands,
Celtic Football Club, is in the wrong hands!
Re: Best Player at Celtic
To be fair when he was at Rochdale for a while he was making big big noise with man city offering £2 million for him and rochdale thought he was worth much more. Then he hit the booze again and lost form and was always injured then went back to derry.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Metroman i canny fathom you out at all mate. Your sound as a pound but you talk one lot of pish man, no offence or that!! lol All that's missin out your post is 'Maloney will piss all over everyone when he comes back'.
Nah seriously though, not tryin to be a prick, but what has Paddy, talented as he is, done to merit being our best player? Surely your talking about potential? As in if he done this or that (improved his fitness and attitude) he'd be a class act. The same way you say if McGeady done this or that (improved his 'end product'/stopped running into 'cul-de-sacs') he'd be a class act. Yet no mention of him?
Imo there is no debate here, McGeady is our best outfield player and the best in the country. End of.

Re: Best Player at Celtic
Actually, Paddy has just played a full game for the reserves against Hamilton and he even scored one of the four goals.
I think we'll see a lot more from him next season, if he can stay injury-free that is...There was a good mix of youth and experience in the line-up and McGrain felt the younger players did well.
“We gave Paddy another 90 minutes which is essential to his fitness,” he said. “Ki also got 90 minutes along with Zheng Zhi, Paul Caddis and Mark Wilson. Marc Crosas came off after 45 minutes with a strain but he put in some good work in the first half.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
McGeady is our most talented player, pity he has no backbone and disappears when the going gets tough.
Hinkel is our most consistent player, Brown also has the potential to be our best player and McCourt hasn't the fitness to come into consideration.
So I'm going for Hinkel. It's a bad day when a right back is your best player all the same.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
McGeady, no question for me. On actual form throughout the season I'd say Hinkel, though. He is great at what he does, is never brilliant yet never bad, just goes about his business and always consistent. McGeady on his day is top class and will tear the opposition defence apart. Shame he can't produce it week in, week out.

This
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Brown has potential, McCourt has potential. Just a pity we can't seem to get them playing at their best/fit.
Has to be McGeady for me. Although Keane is the best football player at Celtic right now.
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Barring Artur then it would have to be Aiden.
Andy is in with a shout too due to his consistency, something that Aiden lacks which is a shame as on his day he is great to watch. He had a great first half of the season where he was carrying us at times but in all honesty he has struggled for form ever since the huns game at New Year. Hasn't had too many stand out games since.

God Bless Mr Celtic
Re: Best Player at Celtic
Probably McGeady, although Hinkel would be up there as well. I'm hoping the RA man will get his chance soon though
