Celtic have a big fan base but to call them a big club is a joke,no world class players ,unable to attract world class players,most of their players are young raw or journey man professionals ,apart from Henrik Larsson I can't name 1 player who would have got into the pl top teams.They have no comp...

If we're looking for one player who can fulfill both roles (which is a pretty sensible idea) Martínez would be my first choice as well, though I suspect the chances are pretty slim.

Why? We don't need the extra 5 quid. Sell him to a team we're unlikely to face this season at all.

Why so UTD can buy somebody better?

We never really replaced him. Absolute legend & a beast on PES2/3.

Consistent and fair referee.

Well he was nowhere near as bad as Mike Dean.
