When, at 29 and 30, once Edouard and Dembele are gone, he'll still be here scoring for fun. He's happy, we're happy. Win-win. |

If Dembele stays then aye, he's third choice. Can't see it myself tbh, though. |

When you say 3rd choice, you actually mean 3rd choice for certain football matches. And considering each season we lose one of two strikers to injury at one point along the way, it doesn’t really matter what imaginary striker rating you give him. He’s a vital squad player, like Dembele and Edouard. |

Leigh Griffiths has warned he needs to be playing regular football and wants to establish himself as Celtic's first-choice striker. "Competition for places is always good,” Griffiths said. “But we only play one upfront and as a striker you want to be selfish. "You want that starting jersey and you want to make it your own. You just need to take your chance when you get it. "Everybody wants to play football. But it's not only about the 11 players that start the game, it's also about the 11 players that finish. "I'm at the time in my career where I need to be playing regular football. Hopefully when I do get that starting jersey I'll make it my own." |

3rd choice striker, as in third choice for certain football matches where Dembele and Edouard are available. |

Pretty much won the league for us, by himself, when Deila was the manager. Don't think we should forget that. |

I don't think it is that, folk being honest that the two lads in front of him are better for the way we play. LG still has a lot to offer but he won't be first choice. |

Every interview he gives that mentions the competition he faces for a starting place betrays why he isn't, and won't be, the number one striker at the club while Rodgers is here. Its not just talent and attributes, although that would leave him third in pecking order, it is his attitude and his readiness to share that attitude with those outside the changing room. |

I don't think Edouard is a better striker than Griffiths right now. He will be through time and further development as he has so much ability.....but right now, if I wanted goals in my team, I would play Lee ahead of him. Edouard came on leaps and bounds last season, but he's not the finished article yet. There are enough games in a season however for all three to get game iMessage. |

I would agree. I think Eduoard has the potential to be the best out of the three of them, and he put in some real quality performances towards the end of the season. But nothing that Griffiths hasn't done on many occasions throughout his time at the club, and against better opposition in many cases. I do think Eddie offers more versatility in the attacking positions than either Dembele or Griffiths. Can see him taking up Sinclair's role or playing just off one of the others at times as well. |

I think Edouard is better at the things Rodgers values more, particularly the physical aspects. |

We are lucky to have 3 quality strikers to call on. Moussa had is ups and downs last seasons and there were games where he was just not at the races. Eddie is young and learning and there will be some inconsistency there. A fit Leigh gives us other options and he has a great attitude. It is a squad game and they will all play an important role next season, though I still have a feeling that Moussa will go before the transfer window closes. The time to borrow is when your star striker gets injured and you only have dross on the bench (Ciftci). That won't happen while we have these 3 gems. |

Dont think theres that much wrong with what he said to be honest. He is desperate to be first choice and he is always honest about it. if he was sitting there saying " I dont care if I am first pick, as long as the team is doing well", people might applaud his political skills, but we would be calling him a bullshampooter as we know that is just not our Leigh.
