    I took that comment as he wanted another midfielder in even if O'Rielly stayed.
    If he left, we needed a second to replace him.

    As in, we need that level of quality - the main trio, Bernardo and another.

    big Peter will be having palpitations paying over the odds for all of these last minute signings.

    That's what happens when you leave it so late and everyone knows your absolutely loaded:39:

    Will he pull the plug or suck it up?
    Tick tock :BR1:

    I’m finding the left back situation a bit confusing.

    Are we waiting on Tierney for free? Bernabei showing signs of promise? Or is Valle our long term plan?

    Bogusz deal off. Probably won't have a plan B, sorry it'll be McGowan from Dundee.

    I'm at the point where, with so little left in the window, I feel like there's no real point in complaining.

    If things go * up, it'll go nuclear on Friday night either way.

    Wait and see, wouldn't shock me if another name that's not been linked pops up instead of Bogusz.

    McCowan better not be the backup to Bogusz.

    Sanches looks more interesting, but would still want better.

    Hope so. Time isn't on our side though, especially as we drag the * out of potential deals as well.

    Honestly feels like this is the 10th time you've posted this today.

    Rodgers doesn't walk no matter what, and nobody should want him to be walking even if the window ends abysmally.

    Celtic are no longer in pursuit of Mateusz Bogusz, Football Scotland understands.

    The LAFC attacking midfielder emerged as a transfer target for the Scottish champions last week as they looked to replace Matt O'Riley who joined Brighton for a record transfer fee earlier this week. Bogusz was named as an option.

    But Football Scotland understands Arne Engels is the £10million priority and there are other names in the frame with Bogusz now no longer being targeted. We told how Bogusz was on a list of options for Celts who were always looking to spend the bulk of O'Riley cash to bring in new midfielders


    Paulo Bernardo arrived on a permanent deal following his loan stint last year but even still, manager Brendan Rodgers made it clear that he would ideally like two midfielders to come in who could act as attacking players and Engels has been identified as the top priority

    Luke McCowan has also been named as a possible candidate from Dundee but Hibs are on the chase for the 26-year-old.

    I've had my head in work last couple of days, what's happened with the Bogusz deal?

    Celtic have reportedly turfed out a £10million bid from a club in France for Reo Hatate and told the star midfielder he is not for sale.

    The Premiership champions have no interest in letting the Japan international leave and the Daily Mail state a club in Ligue 1 were given it straight just like Zenit were amid interest from Leicester City. Hatate will remain at Parkhead. Meanwhile, Celtic have launched a club record-breaking £10m bid for Arne Engels and are ready to up the ante to £6m in their move for Auston Trusty. The Hoops have gone big for Augsburg midfielder Engels.

    The deal would eclipse the £9m they paid for Odsonne Edouard, although that could be dwarfed by Adam Idah’s recent move, if a number of add-ons are triggered. Celtic have already had two offers turned down for Engels but are looking to get a deal done for the Belgian under-21 international before Friday's deadline. Augsburg boss Jess Thorup admitted Engels’ situation could change before Friday, although he hoped he would remain at Augsburg. Thorup said: “I heard about the rumours. “I don’t know what will happen in the last couple of days.”

    Personal terms have already been agreed with the 20-year-old, who is known to be keen to make the move to Scotland and to play in the Champions League. Brendan Rodgers had identified Engels as the man he wanted to replace Matt O’Riley, who joined Brighton for £25m earlier this week.

    Celtic have also made a new offer for Sheffield United’s defender Trusty. Record Sport broke the story of their £5m bid on Monday. Celtic improved their offer by £500,000 and it was also turned down. Talks are still on-going with a deal close to the £6m mark likely to get an agreement. Celtic would need to get a quick deal done because there would be work permit issues.

    They would need to re-apply for a visa for the US international. That shouldn’t be an issue but timing could be ahead of the deadline. LAFC midfielder Mateusz Bogusz remains on the radar but Celtic will need to up their initial offer. It remains if a deal can be agreed with Major League Soccer to land the former Leeds United player over the next 48 hours.

    Dundee midfielder Luke McCowan could also come into the equation if other Celtic deals don’t come to fruition. Lyon’s Mahamado Diawara is another midfielder who has been linked. Celtic are also keen to land another winger and another striker, with Mikey Johnston the subject of bids from Sheffield United and Burnley. Celtic did get some business finalised with the signing of Alex Valle on a season-long loan from Barcelona.

    We’ll get Engels in, I have no doubt about that, but the issue is we’re now going to pay over the odds for him because his club are well aware of the panic we’re now in because of how unorganised and clunky our recruitment structure is. Not to mention the fact Augsburg know our current bid is a third of the fee we’ve just received for the player he’ll be replacing.

    It is a genuine fact that we can only do a single deal at a time. When our focus is on more than one we can’t get results. That means the process is dysfunctional, we don’t have enough personnel dealing with it and there’s too much micro management from above be it Nicholson, Desmond or dare I say it Lawwell.

    This is the point of the window folk can say I told you so as the proof is in the pudding.
