Of course they can and any sensible team will tell them to fwck right off with their stupidity.

It's like the BA strike ffs. Give us £5bn in exorbitant wage increases on top of the already highest paid salaries or we will cost you £40bn more.

No different than arsenal bidding 18m but celtic said 25m. Celtic were right to do so cos they got what they wanted. Killie are under no obligations to make life easy for them.

If celtic were willing to pay 3m for Boli then Killie are within every right to think that the player they have who is arguably better than him to be worth that also.

What?

Are you quite insane?

Are you genuinely suggesting that Taylor at £3m is in the same ratio category of Tierney at £25m whilst taking into account the length of time left on their contracts?

Of course it's different.

Poor downtrodden pilots. Moniwurkurz!

I'm not rising to this.

Poor Ryanair pilots demanding their salaries are increased from £170k per annum to £375k. Wee souls.

no im not doing ratio's i was referring to celtic valueing a player higher than a team bid and saying tough we value him at 25m pay it or you aint getting him. Killie doing the same.

The 3m valuation could be argued as fair when celtic have already paid that for a player that is arguably poorer than Taylor. Celtic fans havent been overly positive about Boli's performances, and want a an upgrade. If celtic are targetting a better LB or equivalent then 3m seems fair given that you have paid that already for a similar player in the same position.

If celtic dont think they can get him for less than 3m they should move on.

Guy had a very good season last year and is now in the Scotland reckoning, been capped and will no doubt be in the next squad also.

Would I pay 3m for him, no but then again we dont have as much disposable cash as celtic. I think more Scottish clubs need to be stronger like this and demand what they think he is worth.

to be honest, us paying 3 million for greg taylor would be like rangers paying 3 million for Stewart.

I don't know a single supporter of our club or indeed any other who thinks that Taylor is worth anything near £3m and I will be well pisssed off if we pay anything over £2m.

He's just not worth it no matter what Killie value him as and if they aren't careful they'll end up in a McKenna type scenario where they are stuck with a fairly average defender who wants out but has a ridiculous price tag around his head.

Is Taylor paid as if he was a £3m footballer for Killie? I highly doubt it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not arguing with you im looking at it from Killie's point of view.

I dont think he is worth 3m and I wouldnt pay that but there are arguments there for Killie to ask and get that especially so close to the end of the window, they have to think long term for them, too many clubs in scotland think short term and quick buck.

In terms of them paying him like he is a 3m that doesnt really apply. Again to use the KT example you wernt paying him the wages of a 25m player cos as it turns out he is now on close to 70k pw? not 100%

Right now i genuinely think that if a team came in wanting say Ajer for example then they would need to pay big money say 15m at the very very least prob a good bit more, given it being so close to the end of the window. Are celtic paying him the wages of a player in the 15-17m category? I understand the values and stuff about Ajer are purely my opinion but i dont think what im saying is that far out?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't use Stewart as a comparison to be fair.

Stewart is a 29 year old journeyman type player who was brought to Rangers on a free as a squad player.

He is probably third or fourth choice in his role at Rangers. We rested several players at the weekend and Stewart still didn't even make the bench.

Taylor is 21 and has just broken into the senior Scotland squad.

And he would be expecting to go to Celtic to compete as first choice LB.

I don`t think we can compare selling to an english club with selling within Scotland. In the english market, 25m for Tierney was still a steal. I don`t think Taylor is worth 3m in the scottish market. I get your argument and it`s up to Killie, if that`s what they want, but they won`t get it.

Now we`ll probably do it

I hope you do to be fair, cos im agree with the guys on here 3m would be better spent elsewhere.

God knows what has happened at Celtic, even as a rangers fan I scratch my head. It really didnt seem like a tough job to improve the squad from last year, you knew the position needing replaced and had the cash to do so and a new manager with plenty of time to prepare properly. You are opening the door big time for us to challenge and possibly win the league.

If things had been done with any sense at all we still shouldnt have had a sniff at the league. That very well may be the case still but it doesnt seem that way just now.

I agree that £3m is far too much for Taylor btw.

Celtic were going to get Turnbull for around that and he had scored for fun second half of the season.

Taylor has been ‘meh’ and like Brophy (who is utter dung) only got in the Scotland squad because Stevie Clarke became the manager.

And the fact that Tierney, Robertson and Douglas were all injured. And Shinnie is rank.

posted on 27/8/19

£1.5m for Taylor seems about fair to me.

We are royally fwcking things up. Don't let the wins against St Johnstone, Motherwell and Hearts fool anyone.

They're certainly not fooling me. I can see a 3-0 Rangers win next week far enough

Because it`s the norm. It`s not just this year. We will see, but I think the league will be a lot closer than it possibly should have been. Obviously there are never guarantees about that, but we could have blown Rangers out of the water. Instead we`ve gone backwwards, in my opinion.

as well as not making the team stronger you have also given the rangers player belief i reckon, belief and hunger can carry a team further and above their ability also. We will go into the games against celtic with a belief and far less fear this season also.

Celtic are actually contributing to help build up the buzz we have just now.
