    Desperately need quality on the wings. Maeda and Kuhn look good enough to be starters every week but Palma and Yang just aren’t good enough.

    Left back and LCB obviously the big musts.

    Absolute minimum we need before window closes is a CB & LB.

    If MOR goes we also must get a replacement in.

    Would love to see a decent winger come in and maybe be helpful if he can fill in at CF to save money.

    Palma has fallen off a cliff since his promising start to his Celtic career last season. He’s just so lacklustre and the one thing you could rely on him for - a lethal final ball - seems to be eluding him now as well. We need better.

    Palma seems to just want to shoot all the time now rather than play someone in 6 yards ahead of him. Right now things aren’t going his way so he should be doing the simple thing rather than trying the spectacular all the time. Would deffo love another option for the wings to come off the bench

    The fact we were linked with Balikwisha makes me hope that it's something we want to look at.

    Sterling on loan, no option. Left Centre Back for £6M and Left Back for £6M, keep O'Riley

    I think there could still be a fair bit happening over the last two weeks both ways.

    Not sure how good the players signed will be but I think nearly anyone outside about 12 players we would likely be willing to listen to offers.

    I think the fact we got Idah finally in last week + the huns crashing out the CL had lightened the mood a bit, but we haven't really progressed forward.

    We have seen some really good links at LB and CM, but there's a terrifying lack of CB links now, which makes me think we've been unable to shift Kobayashi and Lagerbielke, hopefully we see something soon.

    LB, CB and keeping O'Riley is the barest of minimum, should really add another Winger and ST to that but I think we'd need to shift both Yang and Palma before bringing another winger in.

    Needs to be movement this week.

    Fact is we haven't improved upon last season squad wise. Any less than 3 quality additions will be a failure, for me. Ideally want 4.

    Why are we not in for Lennon Miller, David Watson or even Danny Armstrong?

    Rangers are struggling, but the one bit of business they got right was getting Connor Barron in on a free. Were we in for him? Is he a h*n?

    Miller, Watson and Armstrong seem to be no brainers as the best young and upcoming and/or the best non-OF players running around in Scotland at the moment, and they go toward the home grown quota for Europe.

    It just makes sense?

    GK: Kasper, Sinislo, Bain
    LB: Taylor, NEW SIGNING
    CB: CCV, NEW SIGNING, Scales, Welsh, Nawrocki - Kobayashi and Lagerbielke need to be shifted.
    RB: Johnston, Ralston
    CM: CalMac, Hatate, Bernado, NEW SIGNING (Miller?)
    CAM: O'Riley, Holm
    LM: Maeda, Palma, MJ
    RM: Kuhn, Forrest, Yang
    ST: Kyogo, Idah

    Would punt Kobayashi, Lagerbielke, Yang (loan), and then replace them with a LB, CB and Miller.

    Wouldn’t want that horrible troubling making wee * anywhere near Celtic.

    He's always had issues even when he was a youth player at Liverpool.

    Hard pass.

    Don't worry his £350,000p/w wages might prove a stumbling block

    Haha, was going to say this. Even if they paid his full wage, I wouldn't touch him with a * stick.

    mental to think he's not making their matchday squad and they're due to pay him £50m in wages for the remainder of his contract.

    I reckon we'll sign a centre back on a perm, a left back and winger on loan, and another midfielder on a perm if O'Riley leaves. Although if we can't get shot of Lagerbielke or Nawrocki I wouldn't be surprised if we kept it as is.

    What we need is a starting centre back, an O'Riley replacement regardless of whether he leaves now or later, a permanent winger who can replace Yang and/or Palma, and a starting left back.

    So aye, not expecting us to end up where we need to be, but I do at least expect us to get bodies in in the positions required.
