Celtic Transfers 2024

It's been a long 3 years but we're finally seeing some progress

 

At least he's got the statue

 

Wonder when the rest of the board will release oor Peter...

 

Things are shaping up well.

Hopefully I don’t jinx it, but I’m pretty confident that we’ll sign another CM tomorrow in addition to Engels. It looks like we’re being smart and negotiating for both Sanches & Diawara at the same time, rather than going all in on one and then having to scramble if it doesn’t pan out. It’ll be interesting to see who we ultimately end up going with. In an ideal world we’d get both, but I get why that’s unrealistic. I would imagine McCowan is probably the emergency if all else fails fallback.

With regards to a winger, I’m expecting some sort of out of nowhere LTB deal from an English side.

 

This...

 

The manager speaking openly in public about how the recruitment process needs to be modernised is music to my ears.

It’s another reason I love Rodgers. He’s excellent tactically, impeccable with the media, and superb in player development.

He’s a diplomatic guy, but certainly not one to mince his words when push comes to shove. I personally feel quite lucky that we’ve a second chance with him managing us.

 

500+ pages of doom I'm glad I sat out.

Starting to look like a decent wee window. Excited to see what the next 24 hours do to make it even better.

Who's getting the credit at the end if most turn out to be happy? Rodgers? Nicholson? Lawell? @Double Dutch?

 

I genuinely love the guy. As you say, he would be outside our reach if he wasn’t a Celtic fan.

I might end up with egg on my face for this comment, but I genuinely don’t see him leaving for the next 10 years as long as we continue to back him and he doesn’t get any offers from a top tier club. No chance he’s leaving for a Leicester or Crystal Palace type job.

 

Any late night exclusives from McGowan or anywhere else? Would be over the moon with either one of Diawara, Sanches or the chelsea boy (if the links is legit) and a surprise winger/forward player.

 

Have my class in for their first day back in the morning. I might have to plan something on data handling and statistics using Sky Sports News......

 

That’s a good idea mate because then you can follow the transfer news while you work!

 

This thread is interesting from a psychological perspective - last few pages kind of suggestive of Stockholm Syndrome

Folk are starting to get excited by us doing the absolute bare minimum. Engels is a necessity given O'Riley leaving. The only additions we have really got since last May are a loan LB and CB (both of which we have needed for the last 3 years)

Let's see if we get any more

 

We've signed 2 GKs too.. very important position filled..

We also could have went for a cheaper option than Engels, who's an exciting addition..

Then the deals for Idah and Bernardo both we have high hopes for, shouldn't be dismissed at what around £13m..

And the window is still open, so we're definitely doing more than the bare minimum..

The change in our recruitment structure/strategy is recognised and hopefully will be addressed quickly when the window closes..

I'm a heavy critic of the board but this window may turn out to be one of our best in years.

 

All down to the guy that called Lawwell an * hole. That was the catalyst.

 

If that’s Trusty in as the new LCB on top of engles yesterday then it’s certainly not been a disastrous window, would love to get one more in though.

 

Definitely need a winger. As much as I love wee Jamesy for his service to the club, we NEED another option at the wing other than him or Palma. Although Palma has shown he can do damage in CL, he is not consistent enough for the league, not by a long shot.
