    Been evident we've been after a LB and a Striker this window. With the links to Tierney and Merlin and the Danish boy


    To get to this stage and not get players in those positions in is * criminal

    Yeah that's the thing for me it's been quite obvious we've targeted it. For some reason not pulled the trigger on any.

    Think its been a combination on things

    We thought sociedad where out running for KT and arsenal demands would drop today.

    We moved for the brondby lad and got no encouragement we then went for SVH, got encouragement then bologna have decided to keep him.

    Lafont was the Nantes player we scouted but out for another 2 months put any plans on hold.

    That's just my take!

    Might want to wait until the window closes before calling it lies?

    I’ll be shocked if we sign anyone now.

    Any sniff of anyone at all at this point? Usually Sky or someone will have announced a medical or something is underway. Could someone head down to Parkhead and see if the lights are still on in the main stand offices?

    Anyone who's genuinely pleased with our business have such low expectations for Celtic.

    We could and should be doing so much more. We have the tools to be out of sight for years to come.

    An Aussie winger, a very exciting looking South Korean POTY in Yang, another South Korean project in Kwan, a * exciting looking player in Holm….

    We’d be buzzin with a lot of the business. And disappointed in some areas we’ve not done, but we always will be, large parts of the fans want different things from the team.

    Tierney deal was never happening, anyone who thought it was, was in cloud cuckoo.

    If the board were genuinely waiting on him potentially becoming available for a season-long loan then we're a bigger shambles than most think.

    If we have databases on young, upcoming players in every position why aren't we making moves to attract those? We're cash-rich and can offer Champions League football.

    So frustrating. I can half understand not adding a GK because of Hart’s name and not adding to midfield because we’ve got an abundance of numbers there.. but Taylor starting with Bernebei as backup at left back is just so * gutting. Taylor is going to struggle to play Rodgers system as we’ve seen in black and white early doors. Bernebei is a * awful footballer.

    Not only are we relying on a sub standard left back. If he gets injured we are absolutely *.

    We were one signing away from a pretty good and satisfactory window but they’ve * it.

    Can’t go into this season with only Taylor as our LB and Kyogo as our CF!!!! What other club in the world, who have a bit of money, come out the last 2 windows weaker than they went in??!!!! At this point I am absolutely * raging with the board. I hope Rodgers walks.

    Regardless of who's in charge at the end of any transfer window. Your aim is to be strong then when the last one closed.

    At this moment, that isn't the case for us. So you would have to say that's not a good window.

    I don’t think it was a case of us expecting and relying on a KT deal but making sure we were there as an option if it was ever possible.

    Taylor needs upgraded on, but we can't go into the season with Kyogo as our no1 striker? The * are you smoking.
