    Hope you are right. And they need to be first team ready.

    As much as iv been impressed with what iv seen of Holm in particular, we need better than promising. Especially having lost Jota.

    Its a big ask but we need at least one signing of a Sinclair, Dembele, etc ilk. It isnt beyond us.

    I've no inside info mate. Just a firm belief that Rodgers didn't come back without assurances

    I've said for weeks that the players we want will have options.

    Risky strategy for sure but I'm certain we have it covered.

    Next 10 days will tell us all we need to know.

    Should be an interesting couple of weeks

    With South Korean striker Oh currently injured, Rodgers only has one recognised centre-forward available to him in star man Kyogo. He might go into the market for a striker before September 1 but revealed that if he’s short in that area, he’s got faith in Japanese ace Daizen Maeda to fill in.

    Rodgers: “You have to be careful because you can have too many strikers. I’ve seen a lot of Daizen and I really like the look of him in that position.

    I think he’ll score goals and there’s a reason why he’s playing as a central striker for Japan. In pre-season he was excellent there for us. So if we’re ever in trouble or we need him there, he’s an international striker.

    “We’ve got Oh as well as Kyogo and there’s the possibility to play others there as well. You can only keep so many strikers happy. Normally, they all want to play.

    “So when Oh is fit, and we’ve got Kyogo and Daizen, we’ll have numbers there.”

    Not denying that but I wanted another CB before Starfelt left. So all we've done by signing Lagerbielke is replace him.

    Need a 2-3 experienced additions next 2 weeks. All the chat was of quality over quantity so far we've signed prospects who should be good but noone can convince me we've improved the squad to the level desired.

    Thus far.

    Neil Lennon there very adamant players needed and squad not ready for Champions League.

    Now if he was manager he would be towing the party line like Brendan is at the moment.

    Some seem to think if Rodgers is OK then we should be ok. Think it's safe to say he isn't.

    3 or 4 needed in with a few leaving and clock very much ticking

    Maeda must have scuddie photos of Rodgers or something. New deal and then play the full 90 there??

    Getting past caring with this. We * about almost every year with the squad. We are not bad we just don't have that bit of quality.

    Said it before but this board ain't getting another penny from me unless serious investment is made in next week or so.

    Awful that we are out of the first cup of the season. A team like Killie on buttons compared to some of the shiote we are paying thousands of pounds per week in wages

    Cash rich, even put out a wee look at us statement showing off..

    Champions league group stages confirmed..

    Our highest ever sale in to it..

    Yet we're significantly weaker in almost every area..

    Aye but we're just waiting for the right players.....yet that's us knocked out of the first competition straight away and already in to our season..

    Been way too slow. It's a disgrace to be honest that we haven't went all out for top signings early and settled in to this side..

    Unsurprisingly our embarrassing recruitment has come to bite in the *..

    Fail to replace our best player who bailed us out in these tight games..

    Continue to play a embarassment of a footballer at LW..

    etc etc.

    A crucial window just got more serious.

    As time has rolled on, deals done, we are 100% weaker.

    We are going to be humiliated in the CL. We are weak in the middle of the park. And devoid of any creativity.

    I've defended the clubs approach to transfers more than most, but today highlights the major, major deficiencies we have at the club.

    Rodgers isn't blameless obviously, but 2 of the fullbacks clearly don't work in his system and our system is crying out for a creative winger.

    The club obviously thought they'd get away with it, they haven't, we've lost the League cup already.

    Lose against the huns and fans will completely turn on the club, a month into the new season.

    When Lennon lost to Cluj, it was a massive wake-up call for us, this needs to be the same.

    The happy clappers still happy?

    We're going to get * in Europe. It's so * typical we have a few good seasons and then we sit on cash for absolutely no reason.
