    Think it would be best to set an official ok to panic day. Saves all that panty wetter/board apologist nonsense.

    Hate our board, we win things in spite of them not due to them. Our scouting system is a joke.

    I’m still exhausted from the last two windows. Complete fiascos the pair of them.

    You’re never getting an easier chance to progress from a Champions League section than the group last year. Feyenoord as top seeds, and a bang average Lazio. The only team I’ve ever seen try to draw at Celtic Park and end up accidentally winning.

    Rodgers had us competing in most games with the likes of Yang, Johnston, and Turnbull getting game time. A few ambitious signings and we’d have progressed, I’m convinced of that.

    I’ve got to the point I’ll just see what’s what when the deadline comes.

    No point in getting worked up about it anymore. We have the potential to be so much more as a football club but the people in charge don’t see it that way.

    Terrified to delegate transfer responsibility, and happy just to plod along so long as we’re better than Rangers.

    All of the best, most positive transfer windows I’ve seen us have are all reactionary to poor seasons, and I’d be shocked if that’s about to change.

    I think if we could get dubravka , McKenna , ohare in it would be a good start and straight away gives us a stronger squad (not team)with spending next to nothing

    Those 3 players would definitely strengthen the squad and give us that much needed experience and for very little money too which would help with the transfer fees to sign up Idah, possibly Bernardo and a new LB.

    I think we are meant to be it’s just whether or not he fancies us or someone else. Apparently we offered him a deal back in January and have been in talks since.

    Hopefully We are in talks with him as it would be foolish to ignore especially the season that He has had at Coventry and that He is also now a free agent, Celtic being Celtic though can either see us messing it up or not pursuing it then He ends up at another club.

    Now that 1st July has now passed, players available on frees and into last years of contract etc I suspect there will be some activity from us soon.

    Lots of the same names floating about, nothing new particularly that has caught the eye yet.

    I hope these supposed already completed deals that were reported have some imagination in line with my point above like McKenna, OHare, etc.

    When is Brendan back in the building too?

    You'd imagine if the likes of McKenna were pre contracts I would've either been announced or heavily leaked by now..

    Been free and out of the Euros with Scotland for over a week. Someone would've let it slip..

    Totally agree but don’t think it’s our style anymore to show people how ‘proactive’ we are with transfers.

    It’s a no brainer for me but that goes for nothing. The transfer gossips all must still be on a beach somewhere.

    The delays with transfers will be between the board and Rodgers having a power struggle on signings.
