Greg Taylor and the summer ahead

79

There was some disappointment for Matt O’Riley when he was excluded from the Denmark squad for the Euros.  Not here, though.  Matt’s reputation needs no enhancement by his national team.  He will also benefit from a clear summer and normal preseason.

James Forrest should have plenty in the tank after a season low on appearances and will again play a partial role for Celtic next season.  After his inclusion in a friendly for Scotland last night, I hope he makes the final squad list.

Callum McGregor and Greg Taylor remain our biggest concern over the summer.  They always play for Celtic when available and would ideally be on a beach somewhere right now.  Scotland has two left backs ahead of Greg, so his final inclusion is not certain.  I am sure he would like to be involved, but it would be better for him next season if he dropped out now, rather than continued in training for the next month, without actually playing.

    Pub full of fans having a beer before heading to the Aviva. A jolly bunch.

  2. Anyone representing their country at a major championship has my support. Good luck to them all.

     

    Fed up with the leaders on here recently. Some of us have a less blinkered attitude.

     

    Actually fed up with the leaders on here for a long time.

  3. I have noticed that Greg has done a bit of thinking on the height thing.When keepers are playing long balls out in his direction,he gets close,real close to his opponent to impede his jump.Same with throw ins.Crosses,we should have had that sorted.Our big guys never too clever there.Danny Carvahal,just one of many small defenders.On the physicality thing,you would’nt welcome a right hook from the wee man.

     

    I love him,heart of a lion.Gives his all,every game.

    Aye indeed. Greg gives me the impression that he wouldn’t back down to anyone.

    Apparently he’s just made a speech telling the voters previous spending plans would be shelved.

     

     

    🤦

     

     

    He also said the direction of travel would be painful and difficult …

     

     

    … but am not sure if he was talking about the nation or just trying to exit an IKEA store.

    He is also advocating that the Swedish football manager should play with a ‘flat back’ four.

    That’s two players injured since being called up not to mention several already injured beforehand.

     

    Tommy Conway called up so maybe a surprise package.

    Doak out of Euro squad, injured

    Scotland not exactly awash with top class forwards and lose Dykes and Doak, in the last few days. Very unlucky. I think all four of our boys will go, though I thought it was crazy picking a squad that had to lose two.

    You put it up yourself!

  15. Never been fan of a loan without an option to buy.

     

     

    Adam Idah has been a success for us.and i would love him to come back to Celtic.

     

    We have improved the player in both technique and self confidence and have given him a winners mentality.

     

    But because of that we have raised his profile and his value. Maybe out of our reach.

     

    Norwich will reap the benefits.

    I knew one of the answers I chose was wrong … but selected it anyway for the hell of it.

     

     

    Strangely satisfying.

    BB- I get what you’re saying, but I would take any of them back,KTs injuries will be a worry to whoever takes him, they know the Club, the league, what’s required on and off the pitch and Brendan made them all better players

  22. Just reading back. What is thing called summer you all speak of in Scotland.

     

     

    Always liked GT. Always nice to see him getting support.

  23. Some numbers.

     

     

    52 titles needed by Sevco need titles to catch us.

     

     

    50 countries with national elections this year.

     

     

    46 days until I see the bhoys in 3 states over a week.

     

     

    They seem like even numbers but tomorrow they will all be odd.

  24. Awe gave up trying to post there.

     

     

    This site is a nightmare.

    Daily Mail reports that the package the Hoops are discussing with the Portuguese giants is in the region of £3.5million. That is nearly half of what the initial agreement was with the same report stating Rodgers’ men propose to pay £3m up front, with add-ons adding a potential further £500k plus a percentage of any sale

     

     

    A better deal for Bernardo…

    Paulo Bernardo on a permanent contract for the money mentioned is a no brainer for Celtic, and should be our first summer signing. Next up is the goalkeeping situation where moves should be at an advanced stage, given Joe Hart was in his retirement season.

     

     

    Ben Siegrist has never been in the frame never mind the first team and should be moved on. Scott Bain has also been a ‘back up’ keeper too long and his rare start at Easter Rd under Ange, didn’t inspire confidence, so two new keepers required IMO.

     

     

    If there’s one position you don’t do projects it’s goalkeeper, and BR with his recruitment team have to get it right which will mean spending the Vassilas Barkas money again, only on the right man. That should be easy what’s difficult is finding a keeper that is nearly flawless enough to play for Celtic, we should at least be at short list stage, as the summer window prepares to slam open.
