Not posted in a while just like to know your guys thought on the LB position i know its not exactly priority but i think we have still have a problem there. Been watching taylor for a couple of seasons now im just not a fan decent steady player but IMO not celtic quality. Out of the three hayes has put in the best performances and he's an attack minded player but put in the best shifts for us at the back and going foward, doubt we'll sign one though.

It's too early to write either off but I'm not particularly impressed with either. Boli quite simply isn't a defender. Not even sure he makes up for it at the other end either. And Taylor was never going to be good enough for me. Replacing KT was always going to be difficult but doing it at such a small fraction of the cost was only going to make it harder. Forget Hayes. Unless either show huge signs of improvement then I'd be back looking for another in the summer.

Bolingoli is a bomb scare. No point in playing RB unless you have since defensive qualities and he has none. Poor decision making and positioning. I'm with Jim in that Taylor isn't Celtic quality though I'd start him before Bolingoli every time. Hayes isn't good enough in his natural position never mind at LB. We should be looking to bring someone in but would the board sanction it given how much was spent on the 2 new guys?

I think the last minute signing of Taylor was due to the erratic performances of Boli and costly mistakes.
Obviously he has failed to impress and stake a claim as LB.
So here we are with a very familiar problem area with three candidates that put-together are nowhere near KT.
One of the short term solutions would be to revert to a back three, with El Hamed, Jullien and Ajer and vary the midfield game by game?

I completely agree jim spot on and i didn't even mention boli because he's just a wasted jersey complete waste of 3mil he's never shown anything never takes his man on and when he does try its a disaster, and i know hayes isn't the answer not a proper full back, and it won't say much for their future at the club if we do bring one in this month highly unlikely though.

Am I the only one that thought boli was starting to come on to a pretty good game before he got injured?

I reslly doubt we'll see a LB this window Charbhoy. There is chance for Boli to be coached yet but it's whether or not his head drops too much in the process because I think he's finding the whole thing a bit difficult and looks shot of confidence. We should have just paid for a proper left back.
