    I think there has been a lot of negativity and I’ve said as such, but even I’m starting to get a bit sick of this now.

    A marked contrast to how quickly our business was done under Ange, his first window aside.

    We aren't asking much to be fair.

    A left back better than Taylor and a left winger better than Maeda.

    With the bar set that low it's an absolute * joke that we are 9 days away from window shutting and havnt sorted either.

    Should have been in long ago but ideally both need in for saturday can't he throwing 2 or 3 guys in for their debut at the * pit

    I don't know about you, but I'm hoping we're trying for signings a little more ambitious than that! Hopefully when they finally arrive, they'll be worth the wait.

    This worries me, because I have a horrible feeling that's exactly what is going to have to happen.

    Every single day we hope for something to happen and it never does.

    It's actually exhausting all of this and I'm getting fed up of it.

    Gave my ticket away for Saturday. I've other things I need to do actually but usually the football would come first regardless but it's almost like Celtic don't give a * about the fans so why bother ourselves.

    We really are on the route to a absolute * humiliation in the CL group stages..

    Zero point of being in the competition given our budget doesn't change either way.

    Another day of absolutely nothing.

    I remember someone saying back in early July that the majority of our Business would be finished in the final 48 hours of August. Whoever said it was ridiculed at the time but its looking as if they were 100% right.

    Tierney on a LTB, Podence and a similar level of GK would be a nice end to the window, but it awfully feels like putting our eggs into one Basket.

    True what's the point if doesn't change the budget.

    Hate to mention those other * but if they qualify next week they won't be shy in improving their starting 11.

    Are we waiting to see if they qualify maybe? If not then they won't strengthen so we might be ok? Embarrassing behaviour regardless by our club.

    Even that scenario would leave us short.

    MF has been totally neglected.

    The Painter knew all along :fear:

    Aye I agree, but I sadly think midfield will be left until January.

    Just need to hope McGregor finds his form again and one of Holm, Hyeok or Iwata properly break through.

    We as a club have basically given up on doing anything in Europe.. it's solely a monetary benefit rather than any footballing goal.

    But I'm not even sure we actually derriere any monetary benefit from it.

    I mean, yeah we get money from it.

    But the money is practically an irrelevance as we do nothing with it.

    Balance sheet FC.

    They had the cheek of releasing that statement in July that we had more money than we ever could have expected.. * all invested of course.

    I'm at the stage I'm grudging more money coming in as we do * all.

    People hoping for Frimpong to move on for our sell on fee. * that the board will just line their pockets while we are screaming for improvement to the first team.

    This thread's worst than the covid, Ukraine, climate change, conspiracy and Biden threads combined. Mind numbing, depressing * constantly. What a life yous must live.

    I still struggle to understand why Rodgers would return without a guaranteed significant budget. I said a few days ago we were weaker coming out of the 22/23 window, a project in a proven goal scorer out. This window Jota out, nobody in. Abada is a massive downgrade on Jota, the 2 CB’s are unproven and although I was not his biggest fan Starfelt could defend. If we don’t deliver on promises to Rodgers, I hope he walks and calls them out. He’s maybe a brilliant coach but by * we are not supplying him with good tools to work with.
    As I’ve said previously , we will get absolutely battered in the CL, embarrassed.

    Aye was saying similar tonight regarding huns getting in and getting CL money.

    Makes * all difference if we have the financial advantage over them if they don't get in bcoz we do * all with that

    He's been lied to.

    Pretty sure he would of asked for assurances regarding that * Lawwell not being involved but this window has his fingerprints all over it.

    No chance he's came back here to be handed projects and to work with a recruitment team that refuses to sign players that were born before 2000.
