The January transfer window opens in a few days and already we’ve been linked with a host of new signings…
Kieran Tierney is one of those names that’s been doing the rounds due to his lack of game time at Arsenal, and with his contract expiring in the summer it’s only natural that we have been linked with the Scotland international.
Greg Taylor and Alex Valle
But with Greg Taylor and Alex Valle already in place, is there room for another left back? One that will be an expensive addition? Granted he won’t cost much in terms of a transfer fee his salary demands will make him one of the highest paid players at the club, up there alongside Callum McGregor.
And of course KT would have to take a huge pay-cut to make the move from Arsenal back to Celtic, dropping from £120k per week to around £40k tops.
Greg Taylor’s ongoing contract stalemate
It’s well documented that Brendan Rodgers is trying to organise a new contract for Greg Taylor while Alex Valle will be here until the summer, so I can’t fathom why we would want three faces fighting for the one position. That of course is something Brendan will decide based on his knowledge of the situation with Taylor who looks less likely to sign with every passing day and the position with Barcelona and Alex Valle’s future at the Nou Camp.
There’s also KT’s injury woes to add into the equation. It’s not a secret that he’s spent more time on the treatment table than the pitch these past few years, and with him being a very expensive asset it would represent a huge gamble bringing him back north.
KT would enhance our squad
There’s no question that KT would enhance our squad as he’s a quality player, but I can’t see why we would bring him back home, certainly not in this window. Maybe in the summer yes…
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
I would leave him at Arsenal until the summer as it would allow us to monitor his fitness(providing he gets a game of course)
