Owen Wijndal, Dutch LB from Ajax, linked with a loan deal.

So the solution to getting done at the back post due to greg being 5ft 9 is to find another 5ft 9 left back. thatll tick all the boxes?.
{Ed007's Note - The solution to that is have better CBs in the air and a GK that will command his box better and come off his line for the box.
There's 4 players involved in that weakness before the ball reaches the back post, the RB for allowing the cross to come in, the 2 CBs who neither track the ball or get into a position to attack it and the GK not commanding his area, especially the 6 yard box.

Greg doesn't look 5.9 I might be wrong though.

Some fans are hard to please. A 25yr old with 11 caps for a top dutch side and over 150 apps in a very good league. Cost Ajax £12m at one time. May have lost his way there but a lot of players have at ajax in the last couple of seasons as they have been way off by their standard.
How tall was roberto carlos and cafu?

IMO right back was worse than left back in terms of a poorly played position last season, lcb as good as scales was I think he was good compared to himself and took us all by surprise, scales as our ball carrier out defence our aerial commander or last line defence against a break wasn’t up to the quality we need and it showed, Greg Taylor needs competition, and needs rested at times, im not convinced by the i opinion it’s a problem area and needs replaced, a loan to buy player would be good shout with Taylor’s contract s.

Greg Taylor is listed as 5ft 7" on the official Celtic FC website.

Fabio Cannavaro 5"9 one of the all time best CBs Hieght only comes into it so much this lad would be an asset if Rodgers wants him then so do I.
17 Aug 2024 08:26:54
This is one of the best links we've had. I wouldn't question his height. The fact it's resurfaced I find promising but that could also mean absolutely nothing and at this point I'm desperately looking for hope we will improve the squad that finished last season.

The best rb in world football in his peak wasn't the tallest Danny bhoy.
17 Aug 2024 09:33:30
Our main objective is a commanding CB that should b 1st priority. evn the incident last wk with the Hibs fwrd musciling CCx of the ball then hitting bar dhoulf nvr happen, GT isn't the only problem at the back by far.

He has played 11 times for his country so is no mug. Definitely the quality we should be looking at and at 4-5 million a bargain.
We now have keeper who commands his box but need a quality LCB to support CCV and O'Shea is the one for me. Well worth 7 million if that's the price. Better on the ball than Scales who kills any momentum we have going forward and very uncomfortable against the high press.
Those 2 and Engel will be a very good window, so only another 15-20 million to spend ?.
17 Aug 2024 08:29:46
Thought that ped never 5.9 but I would like to see Greg's contract getting sorted.
17 Aug 2024 10:20:02
Agree with you Mally, I'm not Greg's biggest fan but he's played more than well enough over the past 3 seasons to earn a new deal.
We need someone in to push him and/ or replace him.
MIP, a CB to replace Scales is a must - he'll get slaughtered in the CL.

Owen Wjindal is a great player who would be an excellent signing for us, we should try and get his pal Myron Boadu on loan from Monaco as our third striker .
17 Aug 2024 05:53:45
Get what yoir saying ed but still like the option if a but more height band physicality as an alternate to greg who i rate as a player. In the absence of any links to cbs that could improve us i guess im going for basic fix logic.
{Ed007's Note - Isn't Owen beck about 6ft, maybe 5ft 12" ?
17 Aug 2024 13:45:09
Ed, I heard your around the 5ft 14" mark ?

At the end of the day it's fair to
say that if we brought in a quality LB and a CB to replace Scales, we'd be in a much better place ?

Totally agree Pedro, if we can jeep MOR even better.
Listening to BR he seems confident that we are looking to by better quality, no more quantity players.
17 Aug 2024 18:04:31
There has been a lot of talk of bringing in quality. So far, that’s all. Less talking more signings.
18 Aug 2024 07:23:38
I don't believe anything that comes out of his face. Actions speak louder than words. so I will wait and see, hopefully I am proved wrong. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong but remember this is the Celtic board we are talking about.

So Marci, Idah doesn't count. He said he wanted him and he delivered.
What part of that don't you believe?
