Ffs here we go again.

The contract is on the table, and has been for a while. Rodgers is spot on with his comments about looking after family and these last of his playing years, but enough is enough.

Hes well within his rights to look elsewhere, but if money is his primary motivation (fair enough), and he can get more money elsewhere, there's the door.
Hes on 15k a week. Which, given his ability and next years standing as a back up, is more than fair, assuming hes been offered a bump too.

Hes a spl level player. Like Scales, im sure hes has his fan club on here, but his liabilities against any opposition not comprised of spl jobbers should be dictating his wage, not Rodgers' hard on for his effort in training.
He is routinely exposed in Europe and is overplaying his ability, as well as his own importance.

We shouldn't be waiting around to see if his agent can find him a better deal in the english championship. Sign the contact, or leave.

Theres younger and better out there for less money per week, as well as a possible future fee for a transfer.

Pick up the pen or pick up your phone. He should be counting his * lucky stars weve been so inept at finding a real LB all these years.

Thought this was quite harsh at first but it’s incredibly difficult to disagree with a word of it if I’m honest.

I agree with that as well.

If he's not signed the deal by now then surely won't happen. Evidently it's over cash, but I wouldn't be throwing money at him.

Bit concerning for me that Rodgers is still hoping he signs on again. On the one hand, Rodgers must believe it isn't a forgeone conclusion he's gone. On the other hand, smacks to me that there's no planning for another LB than KT at the moment. And the way Celtic operate at transfers, I'm inclined to go with the second choice here.

If Taylor is this unsure, he should go and we should withdraw the offer - it's that simple.
Unless he's doing a Goldson and waiting for the big offer that never comes.

Possibly even waiting for an offer to use as leverage.

"Looky here now, this Championship side are offering me 25 grand a week. Match it and I'll stay.... But i want a 5 year contract".

We should just bite the bullet and give him 24 hours to go home and think about the reality of the situation. If he hasnt signed, withdraw the offer and release him.

We need to get a move on with this position, cuz if KT breaks down we're *.

I think Rodgers knows he's going but wants to talk up an important senior member of the team up and rightly so, for all he's accomplished here.

Showing the squad he values the type of character he has..

Time to move on though best for all.

Say what you will but he played well today. Probably he and CCV the only players who get pass marks.

I hope he stays. Unlikely we find anyone better to play back up.

Aye played well until they actually put someone up against him then they ripped us to bits down his side. He's decent as long as we're controlling the game but the minute we're on the back foot, he's pish.

Aye.

One v one against a pacey winger and they're strolling past him
