Not Actually that Crucial a Summer as of August 2023...beginning to now think everything isnt fine!

I feel like a striker might be the most important option. We need different options during a game. Ever since we sold GG we've really lacked something. We need someone physical up top to rotate with Kyogo and it'll bring the best out of both of them.

Kilmarnock & St Johnstone were both crying out for GG and there's a good chance he'd have got us the points. I actually feel it's more vital than anywhere else if we're gonna win the league.

 

Can see Tommy Doyle coming in along with that lad from Brondy after Palma. Which leaves us needing a CB and LB. Can't see us going for a keeper unless Benji moves on which is strange because I think Hart needs replacing.

 

Rumoured to be looking for a move back to Europe this week.

Would gladly have him back

 

Huge week. Make it happen. Season can easily be a different story from what we've seen so far.

 

Hehe..I can't believe I fell for all the bollocks about pushing on for Europe lol

 

Question why they said some of that now, manage expectations FFS

 

We signed anyone yet?

 

Makes no difference to you big man, you've chucked it regardless.

 

Do you know what’s ironic, one of the first things Rodgers said when he came in was that our transfer model was clear and not confused like when he was here before.

One window in and we definitely seem confused again, as it’s hard to see what any competent person is doing in this window.

It’s ironic we were linked with the young guy from Brondby. I was listening to a podcast on Danish football and they were talking about Brondby and how they are all over the place as a club compared to Copenhagen, Nordsjaelland and Midtjylland who all are miles ahead of them now.

Listening to the pod you could genuinely replace Brondby with Celtic. No clue when is the right time to sell stars, no plan how to deal with it, no clear recruitment strategy and make scatter gun signings and always in that way that they need 2 or 3 players at least late in windows.

We like to talk about peers in football you hear Benfica, Porto, Ajax, PSV, Salzburg and the likes mentioned, the reality is clubs like the other three Danish clubs, most of the Belgian top teams, Bodo Glimt, Braga, AZ Alkmaar for examples are all far better run clubs from a footballing perspective than us. They should genuinely be our next benchmark before considering that list of bigger clubs.

I am not talking about size of club as most of them are small or play in smaller leagues but how they work their transfers, youth teams, pathways and future planing.

 

Wdit: wrong reply

 

Farcical..

 

Surely this window doesn’t close with Greg Taylor as our LB?

In a Rodgers team?

 

Mate I expect more from Celtic and a I'm moany *. You for so long have been defending this whole situation which is puzzling to say the least.

 

So did the manager by the look of things

 

I'm hoping for 3 done by Wednesday including Palma and 2 loans on deadline day. Is it a pipe dream? Yes. Will I be disappointed? Yes. Can a man dream? Yes.

 

The 15 million we have spent would have been better spent on a couple of established players rather than 2 million here and there .
Think if we don't bring in minimum of 4 players and spending 4 to 5 million on each then the board has thrown Rogers under the bus for Europe.
Then we go into the derby with maybe 4 new signings and expect them to hit the ground running it's a big disadvantage and again the board back to their old ways of doing business at the last minute.

 

Nah I get the frustration, am just not up for throwing in the towel. If we get some quality in this week and get a result in Sunday, then go on to go up the gears and win the league and have a good showing in Europe, all the outrage will have been a needless waste of energy.

If it all goes * up, I'll be as raging as any *, believe me.

 

What if we don't get blockbuster signings but beat Rangers because of changed tactics? Or alternatively, we get exciting signings but lose?

 

Been a frustrating time of it lately.

How we've gone from being in such a position of strength, and feeling like it, to such low morale so quickly.

First & foremost, its the injury crisis that is * us, but its been exacerbated by on park looking like we have no idea + all the media noise & lack of movement.

This week will be major in defining what we do this season & the club will definitely know that, please.

Either way I'll be watching the derby in a pub in Slavonski Brod probably still full as a boot from the wedding night before, bring on the imaginated optimism!

 

Mate we can't beat * Kilmarnock and st.johnstone that's how bad it got and not got my hopes up for the weekend the way we are playing at the moment.
The system Rogers is using isn't working you have isolated McGregor in midfield and getting man marked out the game because we don't do inverted full backs to help out and your asking kyogo to drop deep into midfield and when the ball does come into the penalty box he isn't there on time and Rogers needs to change it and quickly.
