Criminal that we are going into the champions league with Taylor and Hart, iv never been a taylor fan but thought his faults were masked by the system ange was playing, he's incapable of playing BR way, it will take a few windows for BR toget his type of players in but we have seen for a year or 2 now that GK and LB are the 2 positions we had to sort out. watch every team we play target taylor, someone on pod last night possibly Ter, mentioned going 3 at back with Maeda and AJ wing backs, might not be a bad shout in certain games until we can get the players in to play BR usual system.

It's criminal we are going into another cl campaign with no dmf signed. I think iwata is our only natural dmf. Looks like mcgregor again.
I'd have no problem with hart as gk if he gets ordered to pump it up field instead off giving us heart attacks trying to play out from the back.
Taylor has been poor and will need to improve. Playing too many new players at once would be a mistake and players need bedding in. Taylor has a bit of dig if nothing else which will be important while others find their feet.

No LB is astonishing. It’s as if we want teams to exploit our weak links. And they probably will. They never let us down by exploiting our glaring weaknesses. We will probably get one in January, but how much damage will be done by then? Insanity and god awful planning and recruitment. I just can’t fathom it. Please don’t advise keeping the faith. I don’t believe in faith. I prefer evidence and the evidence is we have failed to address a position neither of the players we have are anywhere near good enough. Always our defence that is never quite good enough. How Rogers never prioritised that is a real worry and to me an absolute ballsup. I won’t blame Taylor at all. The lad gives his all but it isn’t good enough. We get tore apart down the left and it won’t be him I am shouting at. Let’s hope he finds form, he needs to because Bernaby ain’t anywhere near it. What do we do if Taylor gets injured Rogers? Did you give that a thought? Doesn’t seem like it.

Celtic signed Kwon as another DMF option but it looks like he’s another player NOT ready for CL football.

Very Harsh on taylor one of best performers last couple seasons and it's the system rather than his hard work effort and yes skill you give credit too.

I think The Board do not take CL participation as seriously as the qualification cash and their priority is always to finish above Sevco as that will win the league because of the poor standards below.
We have already had a wake-up call going out of the cup and we have been well-off our best form during the month of August.
Questions will be asked about our transfer business, tactics and style of play; but the obvious issue for me was the positions that were in dire need of attention have remained a weakness that will be exploited by some teams and managers in the bigger games.
September is going to be a huge month and a good start is vital.

The board again have shown the fans very little respect, on the day the showcase another new shirt which undoubted will bring an influx of cash into their coffers, they start tweeting clips of European games to drum up interest in the group stages, whilst basically sitting on their hands in the transfer window. As fans we were not craving nine signings but rather 3/ 4 quality players to improve the starting 11. We struggled last season and will do so again, it’s all the more galling that we have a group which while can’t be underestimated it’s not a terrible one for us, one that we could have been fighting for third spot with the introduction of the aforementioned 3/ 4 first team starters.
We sign 9 players and then hear the squad is bloated, what do they expect? We reportedly offered ange £30 million for transfers to stay and work to be some on the training facilities . We have spent just over £18 million, could we not have found a powerful left back and keeper for that 12 million. On top of this we have the board notifying the stock exchange we actually have a far greater amount of money than we originally expected. We are risking not only European progress, but more fatefully we are giving the Sevconian the chance to challenge us for the title and potentially picking up the £60 million on offer for next seasons revamped group stages. As much as I hate them, if the worst happens and they win the league, can anyone here not see their board backing their manager substantially .
If our board aren’t interested in Celtic football club first and not profits for the plc, step aside and let others in who are .

Couldn't understand all the critics going on about Taylor, who is a fantastic left back, then I read that he came thru the rangers youth system, now I understand it.

Taylor is a fantastic LB? a wonder if your the forums version of Hugh Keevins.

Aindoh, I presume you were joking there, as many people were wanting a new right back to replace ralston and he’s a Tim, I’ve never read on here that Taylor wasn’t good enough as he came through rangers. In fact he seems to love beating them and is always in amongst it when we play them. He’s had a decent last two seasons but we need an upgrade now as he can get caught out defending especially for Europe .

Quinn, I wasn't joking, Taylor was getting dumped on from the moment he came in, didn't matter how he played, Scales was getting praised to high heaven, even though he was a terrible left back, like I say, I now understand.
