I see Celtic are once again stopping away fans from watching the game on Saturday. What's the worry here? Is the equipment they use not upto it? There isn't a cap, except for games which are shown live on Sky. Rangers have happily broadcast to away fans at a tenner a pop without any problems. Celtic's issue is essentially that they've charged their own season ticket holders through the nose for a season ticket with no other benefits and now don't want to devalue that by allowing folk to be able to pay for individual matches. It's very much profit over people for Scotland's Toriest club. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why did you not but a satisfactory replacement ? When did you buy Greg Taylor ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought Greg Taylor after. Given we usually play 50-60 games a season its perfectly reasonable to have two players for each position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised at that mate - I think there is a huge gulf in ability between the two of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Kieran Tierney is one of the best left-backs in the world, it is basically impossible for Celtic to replace him with someone of the same quality, because anyone that good wouldn't want to sign for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he is never going to be as good as KT I don't mind Taylor that much, a lot of fans don't really rate him however. I think he has been fine and looks to have bulked up a wee bit too. We still need another left back regardless though with Boli being punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why people can't grasp that replacing an established £20m (or whatever relative to the club) player with an as yet undiscovered £20m player is actually quite difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Taylor is a bad player but I think replacing players like KT and Forster with guys like Taylor and Barkas will have an impact on the team. Not to mention BR with Lennon. You will still have more than enough to win the league comfortably as you still have some very, very good Premier League players but it’s impacting European performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s about having a really good lad to promote from the academy or unearthing a gem from elsewhere which is really difficult and takes an element of luck too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next two are Frimpong and Mikey Johnston hopefully, KT was a once in a generation player any fan on here comparing Taylor to KT hasn't got a clue. Barkas looks a very decent keeper,I like the way he wants to start the play again hes quick and up looking for options. Lennon's recruitment is already better than BR's plus the way he wants Celtic to play is better to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frimpong is exciting to watch going forward and looks very, very fast which is really important in the modern game - can’t judge him defensively as I’ve not seen him vs decent opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Frimpong is more of a wing back than a right back,at 19 he still has a lot to learn his final ball needs to get better plus his pace gets him out of trouble when he gets caught out of position but with more games and developing his talent he is top draw. On the other side Johnston can be as good as McGeady was, if he gets over his injury problems and gets a run in the team he is just as exciting as Frimpong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 If we tie Frimpong down for long enough, We are going to get some serious cash for him. To be as good as he is now at 19 is frightening and he's got a good attitude. As for Johnston he certainly is a talent but cant seem to keep himself fit for more than half a dozen games, hard to predict how he will turn out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest was the same coming through never fit hamstrings, weak ankles lack of consistency it's a trait for these type of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pity he’s not a regular in the Dutch International Youth set ups given their excellent reputation for supporting the development of young talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
