    Every window is the same. Not sure why anyone expects differently tbh.

    They will NEVER properly strengthen the team in the way the majority of us want them to.

    It will be a couple of half decent signings, a couple of projects and a couple of duds. They won't go out and sign 3 or 4 first team players of real quality who will transform this team. They could, but they won't.

    We all know this.

    Seems like Wissa is away at Brentford so expect an incoming bid for Maeda

    Celtic are accelerating moves to bring in a central midfielder and a centre-back this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

    The Hoops have had a fairly understated transfer window so far, ahead of their bid to win their fifth Scottish Premiership title in a row next season.


    However, sources say that the Glasgow giants are keen to improve the spine of their team and are working on deals to add a midfielder and centre-half to their ranks.

    At the end of August, Celtic will compete in Champions League qualifying, so they will want the majority of their business to be completed before then

    So far this summer, Celtic have only spent around £3million in total, mainly utilising the free agent market to bolster their squad.

    Brendan Rodgers’s side have brought in Shin Yamada and Benjamin Nygren for around £1.5m each, as well as signing each of Kieran Tierney, Ross Doohan, and Callum Osmand on a free transfer.


    The Hoops also added Hayato Inamura to their ranks for an undisclosed fee, but the Japanese defender is expected to go straight out on loan.

    However, Rodgers is not satisfied with the business so far, saying that there is “a lot more to come” in terms of signings (BBC).

    11 days until the season starts and we have 3 wingers, including Forrest and Yang.

    Punt Yang, sign 3 wingers. Starting CB. Physical midfielder with a bit of defensive nous.

    And I’d like a quality striker - but doubt we’ll get one.

    I just don't know why we put ourselves in this situation everytime. Hope we get some bodies in. Wingers obviously but we need a proper CDM or someone that has a good defensive game. In Europe feel like that gets exposed so easily. Trusting us I've not got an amazing feeling.

    Incompetence. Penny pinching. Lack of ambition.

    Etc

    I don't have any worries about getting the players, I'm 99% certain we'll get a LW, RW and a CB at minimum before the window ends, with the potential of another midfielder (LB maybe not needed if Inamura keeps impressing)

    But my * do we take our time, I get that not all of our business will ever be done in July, but for once I'd love for at least the majority of it to be done by then. We should have, at the very least, Kuhn's replacement lined up by now.

    It was an excellent start to the window for once. Nygren and Tierney improved the team straight away, but it seems we've came to a bit of a standstill again.

    Really hope we start to see some rumours soon, if there's nothing new by Monday (Not really counting the Breum rumour as it seems regurgitated) then I'll start to get annoyed

    I'd hate to see us have a bad window....what we're witnessing is the standard. Its the way we are.

    Most of our work lies ahead of us and we're half way through the window and our squad is weaker overall than what ended the season.

    Move, not monitor please.

    An owner shouldn't need to.

    Aye agreed.

    Too many rumours about us low-balling as well. I understand you don't go in and pay the asking price off the bat but some of these stories are concerning if true.

    Richer than we've ever been. Time to get moving. Kuhn been gone nearly 3 weeks and two wingers out the door this week.
