Celtic circling around Cardiff city left back Joe Bennett .
This is over and above Hickey interest.
Hickey not deemed ready. but CFC want him.
Bennett would be seen as an upgrade on what we have in terms of strength and age and experience. and character for a 10iar push.
and watch as this story develops.
This is a hammond call and I like what I've read.

If I was Aaron Hickey and Celtic brought in another LB on top of Taylor, I would not be happy to be potentially down the pecking order when he already is first choice at his current club - unless Taylor is losing the managers confidence?

Celtic_mad I hope not. Taylor is better than a lot of Celtic fans give him credit for. He signed for us and he's prepared to give it everything, all we need to do is give the lad a chance. He'll come good. HH.

How many shots at signin a left back does Neil Lennon need, who's recommending these players think the scouting system must be needing addressed throwing money away left right and centre, Taylor deserves a run.

I don't know where all this Taylor isn't good enough, is coming from, I think the guys a brilliant full back.
25 Aug 2020 23:33:45
I like Taylor's attitude and application. He is average though and should not be our No1 LB.
25 Aug 2020 23:38:36
Taylor is a decent defender but not suited to wing back role as his crossing/ final ball is usually terrible in my opinion.
26 Aug 2020 00:51:45
Taylor has the potential to be a good player for us. Think he needs more time. We gave Boli half a season so Taylor deserves the same.
26 Aug 2020 07:38:49
Hickey is better than Bennett so I'd be pissed if he was in front of me.

Celtic supporters seem to pick and choose who they give more a chance to and Taylor is one that gets more of a chance. what do folk mean when they say he needs a run he's had a run and is nowhere near good enough if that's the level we are happy with we are in trouble. he's to slow his first touch bounces a metre in the air and can't go by a man unless it's on the overlap what gets him by is some decent performances at parkhead where most would look ok v Hamilton ect. we should always as a team should be looking to improve and if some fund don't think we can do better than Taylor that shows you where we are.

Liamlennon, spot on. He is ok and is good enough for most of our domestic games. But we need to get better than him as our first choice. He is good back up material, bit like Jonny Hayes. Hickey seems like he might develop into real deal, Bayern wouldn't try and sign Taylor or Boli so that tells me enough .

Let's think about celtic left hacks
Rogan
Wdowcyzk
Naylor
Tierney
McKinley ( tosh)
Possibly Pearson
We were LUCKY to have a Tierney . maybe once in a generation
Taylor is AVERAGE in terms. of SPFL championship context.
He might improve playing with better players
But it can't be said that he is a nice average or good . compared to what exactly?
I hope he continues to improve.

Celtic were always caught out in the left back position under Martin O’Neil especially in Europe.
I don’t think he ever addressed the issue in all his time at the club.
Martin would usually play Joos there against better opponents.

I don’t understand how we were lucky to have Tierney who sought advice from T
Rogic, our sicknote about fitness to return to play . Tierney who claims that he had to go to Arsenal as the Celtic medical advice could have ended his career last season . This encouraged the mammies of many Celtic youngsters to take their wee boys to other clubs where they would be better treated than staying at Celtic
G Taylor is doing a very good job at Celtic . Strong and dependable in defence, he is very good at linking up with attackers, doing one twos and has put in some terrific crosses, unfortunately they are not always converted. We may need another left back, to augment Greg not replace him.

Interesting chris
I don't agree but hope I am wrong
He plays already like the jersey is top big
There are players that play with their eyes open wide, and those blnded by the bright lights.
Let's see how he develops. I hope for the best ( but fear the worst) but she will stay on this evening even if he chickens out and comes inside for a non descript pass 5 times!
26 Aug 2020 15:10:56
i thought he was a better defender before he came in bit unfortunately I'm being proved wrong.
