    Mate how long have both been at Celtic and how many times between them have they been our starting striker? Anyway we all want what’s best for Celtic , regardless of opinion :50:

    That's of no relevance to what was discussed.

    The fact is we have 3 players at the club currently who are/or play as strikers. Idah, Maeda and Kenny.

    Do we need another one? In my opinion - yes.

    Will I be absolutely * boiling raging IF it doesn't happen - probably not. But it will.

    Plus the new guy will have never played as our starting striker, so it's of no relevance either.

    It’s hugely relevant, Maeda and Kenny have been here a long time and not deemed to this point as good enough to be starting striker. That doesn’t compare to a new signing at all. Ridiculous reply. Genuinely think you are at the wind up

    Now you're just making stuff up.

    You said we had one striker, I informed you we have 3.

    Now you've moved the goalposts to "starting" strikers.

    Behave yourself...

    We may have 3 strikers in the first team squad. That's completely irrelevant.
    The point being made here is that none of these strikers are as good as Kyogo.

    Your saying they did identify a target and tried to sign Kvistgaarden from Brondby. If that move had received the appropriate planning (which there has been none), then it would not have came as a surprise when we heard the fee they wanted for him.

    If Kvistgaarden was the planned replacement the fee required would have been known months ago....it would not have been a stumbling block....we'd have known the fee and either agreed to pay it or moved on to find another option.
    We had 4 months to gather all the information we needed on the guy...and what transfer fee and wage packet he would require. We didn't and now the fee is an issue.....because it came as a surprise....cause it wasn't planned

    Why do the board never do things differently? Why do we never improve in the transfer window?
    How do big clubs have things like pre-contract agreements in place with ready made replacements when any of their top players tells them they intend to move on?
    Why do we not have this?
    Why are we acting like unorganised amateurs and not trying to act like we are one of these big clubs?

    Too interested in revenue and profit being made.
    Far less interested in spending the money to improve the team.
    All they are caring about is more money coming in than we are spending. Profit. That's it.

    People no realising this isn't a computer game that you can turn off injuries and suspensions.

    On paper Jota, Maeda, Idah & Kuhn is very good but we play alot of games and injuries happen (sorry can't turn them off), suspensions happen and guess what players aren't computer generated and will have off games if not off periods of time.

    Plus that view puts a lot of pressure on Jota to hit the ground running to free up Maeda to help out Idah. Not getting in another striker is criminal and if we don't I'm sure there will be weeks it's fine but there will also be times we are struggling.

    If nothing else BR has stated he wants to replace Kyogo so really all out arguing in here is irrelevant as the man in charge wants another in.

    Correct. And that's all I commented on. The rest is irrelevant gibberish.

    FYI - two of them have scored today.

    How do you know that the new striker will never have played with us before? We might re-sign Edouard or Dembelle.

    This is the type of ridiculous retaliation question you have been asking people.

    How do you know that the whole plan was to bring in Mo Salah? And that the plan all along has been to not sign him until 3 minutes before the window shuts. How do you know that's not been the plan for the past 4 months? How did you know Kyogo would actually leave and that he wisnae just joking?
    How do u know? How do you know? How do u know?

    One thing is clear....that you don't know much about the importance of planning, you are deluded to try and dress this up as anything else other than incompetence and that you are most probably deliberately picking the polar opposite opinion of people just to cause an argument. Which is kinda sad really. You really need a better * life pal

    They have scored today.

    They are not as good as Kyogo.

    Even just for the sake of numbers we need a striker. Without even considering the importance of replacing Kyogo with a player of similar ability....even discounting that...it is of imperative importance to have more than 3 players in that position.

    If we sign nobody else and say Idah picks up a knock. Maeda is suspended. That leaves us with Kenny and with all due respect to the guy he is not Celtic class and nowhere near Champions League class.

    To go to play Bayern with Kenny as our main striker is embarrassing. Bayern have Harry Kane. Bit of a difference.
    And we're supposed to compete with them

    Mines is sound and regular pal, no worries there but thanks for your concern.

    Not surprising, the majority (if not all of) your post is here complete and utter irrelevant nonsense.

    Another one who must try harder...

    They have scored, correct.

    They might not be as good as Kyogo - that's your opinion.

    For the sake of you maybe either not reading/not understanding, no * has said we don't need another striker.

    You said we had 1, I've correctly corrected you and let you know we have 3.

    Stop yer * waffling....
