    I never said I was happy or agreed with the 'strategy' in this window...

    You can't really judge how a window was until enough time has past to judge the players.

    Getting CCV, Jota and GG on the final day was met with comments on a guy who had been loaned out to every team in England and was thought of as not being good enough, a Benfica reject and the Dutch top flight is easy to get goals in.

    It's arguably our best ever transfer day.

    My point was that our recruits could go on to be terrific signings. We don't know yet.

    On the face of it, it's a disappointing window and on paper we're weaker than we were. On the pitch? Who knows right now?

    100% agree.

    We all knew the areas that needed to be strengthened. We still haven't addressed those issues. Only the center of defence was sorted (until injuries) and that's terrible planning.

    I think he knows about as much as we do to be honest.

    To be fair he never said there was going to be nothing after Bernardo, that's just how people chose to spin it and go off their nut, he said not many more, to me that means we're at least still trying to make more happen, not packed up and gone home for the night yet.

    Looking forward to the board overemphasising renewed contracts for key players like we should be eternally grateful.

    I never said it was or wasn’t about the champions league but it’s just our luck that we don’t kick on.

    it’s like the way we used to prepare for the qualifying rounds…… always under prepared.


    I’ve said it in the past regarding not buying from the club etc that’s the only thing that will make a difference but the. Again people need to stick together and it won’t happen.

    Getting * sick of this doom and gloom. Honestly don't know why I bother with this * forum sometimes. Don't buy players, disgusting. Buy players still disgusting.

    What the * is it people want exactly?

    What a way to support a football club. * when we don't sign * when we do.

    Do some of you derive any joy following this football club?

    Not one doom merchant can give me a straight answer as to why singing unknowns is any different to signing unknowns the last 2 years.

    Give the new guys time then we will see where we are

    Personally expecting another 2 before the window shuts. Get out injured players back and we will be in decent shape

    Theyve all been eating up the initial paper talk and fans feelings of "Rodgers is back must certainly mean were going to break our transfer record not once but twice!!" So now are disappointed. Personally I think we've done well except for left back.

    You know me one of the most positive on here mate, but the window has definitely been a shambles..

    The failure to add a LB, GK is negligence we could have done with a DM for about 10yrs..

    The actual signings, I'm positive about..

    I'm not saying anyone will flop but there was a clear expectation in the support that we would try and kick on and make a proper go of Europe. Rodgers spoke about making a good go of Europe at his unveiling as well but we've stuck with the same strategy that has seen us fail in Europe in recent times. We've largely kept our transfer fees around the same level in the last 15 years whilst inflation happened and football changed generally but we stick with the same strategy that is seeing us under achieve in Europe.

    I jokingly said the other we were trying to smash through a glass ceiling whilst the board were getting the double glazers in but it's probably quite accurate tbh

    Deadwood being shifted (Soro, Ajeti). Players in who may enhance the team. Time for a couple more signings

    Players returning from injury and we will look quite healthy..

    Striker an LB. And I'll be happy. Time will tell.

    Nothing like like a meltdown due to a hypothetical at this point. Classic TC.

    Think I'll watch the rebels Star Wars not Cairan Murphy, yet.

    As it stands, our strongest team (with a fully fit squad)...

    Hart
    AJ CCV Phillips Taylor
    McGregor
    MOR Hatate
    Abada Kyogo Palma​

    Considering the money we have in the bank, there's no way we should be coming out a transfer window having not made more improvements.

    Holm could be the DM. Kwon could come good.
    .we need a LB. I think we will get one. A striker is a must.

    At Thailand said Earleier we here by putting to much stick in this derby match lose and we are two points behind. Plenty of time to salvage the league.a defeat would stung but it's not the be all and in that fullness of time.

    Time will tell.
