    Maybe but it was up to us to find players before that.

    This was our chance to take it to the next level, and didn't.

    That was a * * window, we brought in 25m+ from the cl last year, 20m from transfers and now about 18m guaranteed from the cl this year and we've spent like 11m. * pathetic

    Aye but without CL money or selling anyone we can nearly make that £30 million through gates, sponsorship and other misc income

    Same, it definitely left us at a disadvantage but we should't have been in the position

    Hope Pukki can fill Hooper's boots. Excited by Van dijk and Boerrigter as well.

    No. I didn't say he was. He's a decent player though.

    Pukki will score goals. No doubt

    To be fair, if Baines signs for Utd before the end of the window then it's fair to say we lost out on Buttner because of the window ending on Saturday, so yes, I think we got shafted.

    I honestly can't get my head around this window. I continually invest 4 season books from my household, travel home and away buy strips every season. The club continually asks for our backing, and in a year they have taken on board record money, we have a weaker squad than the previous year and also a squad very short on numbers. The manager has been let down and deserves much better given his achievements.

    Very very disappointing.

    Our window shutting 2 days early has nothing to do with it.

    We had targets, time (the whole summer, even since January in Hooper's case) and money therefore should/could have planned for the window being shut early. Crazy excuse.

    If other clubs come in for our players we can't replace them. Let's just hope no one leaves.

    How is it weaker...have you seen all our new signings bedded in?

    All the money we bring in is not profit. A very simplistic way to look at it.

    We have existing players to tie down too...like Ledley and others which costs too

    There's only one group of individuals that got shafted, and it wasn't Celtic Football Club or the board that represents it. We have had months and months to scout a replacement for Hooper. We have failed miserably.

    The money was there, and with future money coming in already, perfect time to have went up a notch in what we spend.

    Of course not though.

    The board try to get the players Lennon wants....he got several.

    If we can't get all of them you can't blame board. If he wants tomlin you can't blame board.
