How often do directors of football get sacked though? The separation of duties map would be quite interesting looking at eg Rodgers at Celtic vs Christopher Freund.

10 points with a game in hand and goal difference worth another point. Between £80m and £100m cash at the bank. Another transfer window another net negative spend. Enough insurance there to win the league but what does it do to next season and Rodgers demeanour?

Want some??

It’s a lot of money to have spent on a player who has gone back the way and now we need another striker. We will at least get out money back for Engels, McCowan and Bernardo are good squad additions but Trusty isn’t any better than Scales. Of Tierney signs he mind wind up at left centre back

I agree but there is a more than legitimate concern that he has an injury record that includes potential career ending issues and a recent hamstring injury that required half a year to come back from. If that was a tear like other players have had it reduces speed at best.

He has well documented hip, groin and hamstring issues. Arsenal fixed it to an extent. tribuna.com/amp/en/news/...

Some fans are a weak spot. Blocked see ya

The docs would prescribe a lobotomy for your injury

The medical will need to be thorough and the insurance premium will be high. If we can do the deal

Kieran Tierney - Injury history

Hoping yerbawsareasbigastheyareitchy

I mentioned the last 2 years for a reason. Tierney has had career threatening injuries which continue to be a problem. Taylor does not. If we spaff £37k a week on Tierney he then winds up a very expensive cheerleader.

And your use of the word staunch is because?

Good luck with backing whoever winds up playing left back when Tierney either doesn’t agree terms or is injured long term. Scales?

The hate for a current Celtic player is off the charts. I thought we were better than this. Congratulations Michael on being my first block

Tierney signs and Taylor stays. Is that no a better outcome than Tierney signs and we are looking for cover for a guy who has not played a lot of football the last 2 seasons?

So Rodgers is lying then?

Square ball king that scored in the Cup Final and put Hatate through at Pittodrie. Short memories or just none? Better out there? Name them for the money Taylor wants

I can smell that pish from a mile
Off. You you say he haw to do with Taylor then proceed to run him down. Have a look in the mirror. Manager wants him. Taylor wants to stay.

Because Taylor is the only full time employee who can play left back. He’s held the position for years. The other 3 are new, veteran or play in multiple positions. None of them are out of contract soon. Taylor wants to stay. Rodgers wants him. Someone else else at the club doesn’t agree

Are Forest Kuhn and Maeda out of contract in 6 months and looking to stay while we sing the Jota song? The fact you’ve named 3 players and not one is also a bit of a suspect argument.

That’s fair enough but I think the club are making a mistake. We could wind up with a low cost back up playing at left back.

I think folk have to consider how much Taylor might be getting offered relative to what others are getting paid at Celtic and what his value is seen as by other teams. If Taylor wanted more money than he is being offered by Celtic he could get it.

Taylor would be Zagrebs highest paid player if he went on his current wage what makes you think there’s any truth in that story?

The 5- Ibrox. Draw with United at Tannadice, Zagreb draw away, Brugge draw at home… are you counting the cup final as a draw? I make it 1 defeat, 3 draws ( 2 in the Champions League)& 1 cup win? I sense if I turned up at your house with free money you would criticise the van it was delivered in.

Fingers crossed then

I find it highly unlikely that Zagreb would be able to match Taylor’s current wage never mind what he could earn by moving to e.g. Leeds or Cardiff where he would t have to learn a new language or uproot. It’s more plausible as made up pish

Taylor has not said anything about this? Was he quoted on it and I missed it? So that Zagreb story couldn’t be Celtic planting that story to make Taylor out to be the bad guy or that it’s made up pish entirely or that Taylor’s agent didn’t make it up to get him a better deal?

and you are presuming that what Taylor has asked for isn’t fair and what the club are offering is fair… how do you know Taylor is holding the club to ransom? Where is this information as I can’t find it
