    We get 25M for KT, * 5M on Taylor and Boli-and neither are going to cut it. Shambolic.
    Taylor does put in a shift but totally clueless.

    No harm to the guy he's a decent wee player, but it was clear for all to see that he was never a Celtic signing, not in a million years.

    Yep..

    I honestly must watch a different game to people who think he plays well or is decent..

    He's as atrocious as it gets for me..

    Aye 'he can pick out a pass in the final third'. Can he? He squanders loads of moves when he has acres of space. Fires it in to the first man or nowhere near * regularly..

    He's the easiest full back I can recall in year's in getting it played around him. He can't tackle. Has zero pace. Can't recover. Can't head. Can't beat a man. Is always knackered. Has no a bit of strength. Never seen him win a physical battle..

    He's horrendous and so far out his depth that I'll be sick if he's here next season..

    Apart from that he's no bad though..

    Another big transfer fee down the swanney, he is worth about 200K max.
    3M someone needs booted in the nuts for that.

    Him and Boli are a prime example of why we should sign fewer players, but better ones. Add up all the fees and wages for the players we've signed who are * and you could have had one or two really good ones.

    Really industrious player, but, it’s like watching a really mediocre movie slowed down when he’s on the ball (that’s the best analogy I can muster at this time of the morn). There is no end product, no penetration . . . he offers
    very little other than his work rate, and plus only about 1 in 10 of his crosses are effective or decent. I don’t even think 2 of him on the pitch would be as good as Tierney.

    Completely agree with the other posters who’ve questioned his price tag . . . half a million at the most, for me.

    I don't think Greg Taylor would be that bad if he was under a competent coach and in an actual celtic team instead of whatever the * this is just now.

    Aye he's nowhere near Tierney level but that was never going to be the case it was always going to be a someone to improve that's the model, and yes I woukd rather we signed a good high (by squad) level player and a cheaper young backup.

    I'd love for us to take on an Ajax type model, that's what we should be, they compete well in Europe, bring youth through constantly and invest well, but we've a long way to go to be like that.

    Not worth 3m but I think could be a good enough player for us if the team was playing well and played more to his strengths - makes good runs in behind but often doesn't get the pass and I think he does make decent passes in and around the box. Never going to be our star man but you need industrious players as well as the stars. I'd reserve judgement until we have a better manager in place and see if the whole team can improve.

    Utterly abysmal..

    Trying to trap 5 yard passes by the dugout and goes under his foot. Smashing passes in to the stand. Giving it away loads. Burke was giving him the run around at time's first half..

    So so poor..

    Best I’ve seen him in a Celtic shirt today. Was everywhere and making good passes. Even his crossing was on point today. Could understand why he was a bit peeved to be taken off.

    They did give him the freedom though which was strange..

    Done well today. He benefits greatly from having a striker that likes to stay within the dimensions of the goal posts.
