Heard Greg might be signing a new deal.

Apparently been offered a new improved 3 Yr deal. not sure if that means an improvement on his current terms or an improvement on the last offer.

Think Celtic would have put a lid on it if it didn’t meet his agents expectations/ demands. Think it’s a great deal all round if it gets over the line. Looking forward to seeing him in our central midfield for years to come.

In my humble opinion Greg Taylor will not take Celtic forward. Time to let him go. I’ll be frustrated if he takes to the field next season in a meaningful fixture, even as backup. I struggle to forget Dortmund, Bayern, the league cup final, to name a few recent ones. His shortcomings in these fixtures (and others before) were glaring.
I don’t doubt Greg Taylor has a good attitude, a good guy by all accounts. At the highest level however he is not strong, either physically or defensively. He doesn’t have great pace and his distribution is erratic. He’s extremely weak in the air and his stamina is questionable. For Celtic, that’s ok in 70% of our fixtures. In the other 30% he’s a risk. Domestically, and with no disrespect to the Dundee’s and Killie’s, he understands the positional side of the inverted FB, but that’s it. At the level we should aspire to, he’s well short, and I don’t mean his height.
Given we have 70-80% possession (domestically) he doesn’t create nearly enough. If we accept he’s not there for his defensive attributes, then 6 goals in 150+ appearances isn’t an impressive return either, especially in our league.
I read a statement recently that Taylor wouldn’t get another Champions League Team… the implication therefore being we should keep him! That head banging logic says it all.
Surely there are younger (or older) , stronger, faster and better prospects out there.

Can’t relate to your criticism.
I’m for signing GT up…. Better than a anything we’ve had for the past 5 years.

GT is never good enough for the first team.
If BR wants him to hang around as back up that’s his call.

I would be delighted if Taylor signs a new contract.
He’s seen off several rivals trying to take his place.

Unless I'm missing someone I think GT is the 3rd best LB we have signed since 1988 centenary year.
1. Tam Boyd
2. Tosh Mckinley
3. GT
4. Izzy
5. Wdowczyk
6. Anton Rogan.

Interesting list. As well as Boyd and McKinley, I’d have Izaguirre, Mahe and Naylor above Taylor. Different players and styles from different generations rite enough.

Taylor is a quality player. If he improved defensively he’d be top class.
