“Tierney isn’t as effective inside. It’s probably why Mikel Arteta picked Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of him and now Myles-Lewis Skelly at Arsenal. Schlupp, as good as he has been in other aspects, hasn’t shown himself to me as being as effective as Taylor at it, either.
“No-one is guaranteed a game anywhere. Just go to France and ask Kyogo”
“Now the fact no deal is agreed at this point is probably down to two few things. One might be the player wanting to be a regular at 27 years of age or wanting a fresh challenge. I get that, but there’s two aspects in that. Firstly, no-one is guaranteed a game anywhere. Just go to France and ask Kyogo. There’s also the situation regarding Tierney’s injury record. I find it impossible to see a season where he plays 55 or 60 games given the recent record. Taylor is going to get plenty of opportunities.

“If it’s money, then that’s down purely to Celtic”
“If it’s money, then that’s down purely to Celtic. If Rodgers sees fit, the offer made by the hierarchy can surely make the player’s mind up for him. We all know the club’s success is built on being smart with finances, but it’s clear to anyone that Taylor has big value in a squad.
“Just look at Boli Bolongoli or Alexander Bernabei for examples of past supposed upgrades on Taylor and how he easily saw them off the premises. It surely wouldn’t break the bank to offer Taylor the sort of package which would convince him to stay. And, if an agreement could be reached to keep him at Celtic, I’d imagine there would definitely be a Guard of Honour for him from his team-mates walking into Lennoxtown the following morning.”
