    Taylor is good ... he gets a bad press

    Bolingolo was never a lb

    he’d be better in the 3 5 2 but still a bombscare

    So why are the Celtic faithful begging for a left back to be brought in?

    Celtic have one left back ...

    we have limited options on left side wether it’s lb lwb or lw

    Gerrard has totally changed the whole shape of the team with multiple subs. Doesn't look like some of them know where they are supposed to be playing tbh.

    You're the one asking if I'm ignoring the transfer fees spent. What did you pay for Boggingoli, 3 million?

    He was that bad Lennon played McGregor at left back rather than him.

    Better to ask if you are ignoring the transfer fees being paid for these terrible players tbh.

    Already answered that ... to replace tierney ,Celtic would need to have spent about 10 million on one left back

    never going to happen

    Celtic’s paid
    4.5 for Barkas
    8m for Julian
    2m for Taylor
    3.5m for Boli

    when have Celtic last spent that in defence?

    And your right , no champions league will dent transfer fees , so spending has to be controlled ... no matter the fees coming in .

    you have to account for the wages of these new players as well...

    that lot probably costs in total 50k a week

    That doesn’t include loan fees and wages for Duffy ... in total he will cost Celtic about 3million

    If being a realist of Celtic’s position, then they are spending realistically in line with income

    Especially now with no match day revenue

    Celtic are spending, realistically in line with income if income from the champions league is available. Do you actually know how much the running costs of Celtic are? Last season it was at least double that of Rangers. Over 80 million quid I'm sure. Players wages were a large portion of that. This is the second season in a row that CL money has been unavailable yet you're saying that they are controlling spending whilst pointing out that they have never spent as much on the defence.

    I'm not saying they haven't spent money. I'm saying that they haven't had value for the money they have spent and therefore the team has been degraded.

    Perhaps if they spent money before being turfed out of the CL by no mark teams they would have fared a lot better.

    The last part I totally agree with ...

    Celtic need to get the main transfer targets in for pre season

    hard this year due to the whole covid situation

    Was the same last year and the year before and so on and so forth!

    Celtic fans love to bang on about Rangers spending money they don't have but compare the starting line ups in today's two games and you'll find that the Rangers team cost a fraction of what the Celtic team cost.

    Yet, when Ciaran gets around to posting the league table, you will see we are top of the league. Even with your game in hand that has to be a great achievement. We are actually punching above our weight financially wise.

    If we win the next game, which I think is a distinct possibility, then it will actually go down as a modern day miracle.

    <cheers>
