Honestly cannot think of one for a left footer. Surely tackling would be Jordan Jones... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best player, Eremenko aside, that I’ve seen at RP. He would definitely be my left footer choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Foot: David Fernandez Right Foot: Barry Wilson Finishing: Leigh Griffiths Passing: Tomas Pesir Speed: James McPake (I know he wasn't particularly rapid, but I've never seen a CB with the pace to get himself out of issues like he did) Dribbling: Iain Russell Heading: Marvin Andrews Tackling: Oscar Rubio I toyed with Marv for heading and Rubio for tackling but as much as Marv was fantastic at defensive heading I felt the doctor was more accurate with his heading and felt Dorado had a bit of class about his play. You're suggestions are all very valid...the McPake one is interesting as I didn't think he was a very quick striker at the start of his career but certainly looked quick as a CB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point that his accuracy wasn't the best (Which is probably the point of the thread!), but if there was one man that I'd have put my mortgage on winning a header it'd have been Balde. You'd lose your mortgage if Big Marvin Andrews was playing against him then, even Neil Lennon stopped running to head the ball when he looked up and saw Marv coming for it. Could head the ball as far as most players could kick it, and didn't stop for anyone when he was going for a header. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrews was dominant in the air and certainly one of the best, but not near Balde's level IMO. Edited June 26, 2020 by Ludo*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember Celtic, for some unknown reason, forcing Balde out of the club. It was a blessed relief to the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky has been the best at using his pace though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a blessed relief to the rest of us. There was 28 000 reasons why Celtic were trying to get rid of him when we were slashing the wage bill. Lawwell had some cheek to have a go at him when he dished out the contract and its not as if his performances or attitude fell off a cliff so it was purely reasons out-with football why he wasn't playing. I don't blame Bobo for refusing to leave tbh, Lawwell actually averaged well Over double his wage in the last set of financial results and is/was the highest paid Director in British football, obscene really.
