Are we getting left behind ?

Rangers are buying these players because they desperately need players. Our squad is sound, we just need a few extra players.

We don't even no if these players of rangers are any good, they seem to be panic buying, were waiting it out to see evaluate all our options, so I prefer the way we are doing things, good things come to those who wait.

 

Yes I did, what's your point?

 

Theyve signed 3 Bedoya, Wallace and Ortiz and we've signed 3 Matthews, Wilson and Wanyama. We'll probably sign another 2 and so will they. So I dont see your point, we'll make the same number of signings and we didn't need as much players as them.

Before the window I thought the huns needed 2 centre-backs, 2 wingers, 2 centre mids and a striker and we needed a Keeper, a centre-back and a striker.

 

Dont think we are being left behind - the rebuild (and the hard work) has been done last season - the team look like a unit (and have done since commons and kayal started playing), all we need now is a bit of class at the back and we will be fine.

Left behind? No way - Rangers have spent 1.5m on a left back who hasnt played for a season and refused to pay an extra 200k for a proven striker at this level to do up their stadium instead!!!

 

Regardless of whether we feel we have bought enough, not bought enough, bought to young, brought in on trial or overcharged for the hot dogs the bottom line is that Neil Lennon MUST deliver the title this season.

If he doesnt I imagine his job will be on the line. If he feels that the squad is good enough then fine, if he feels he needs a bit more then he should be screaming from the rooftops. Whatever he needs to win the league, ultimately will be down to him.

He has said he needs a goalie, he has one in on trial at the moment.

He has said he needs experience (quality!) but not a lot happening there. The transfer window does indeed close at the end of the month, however, as Dundee Utd found out last night, we might not have enough for europe. And if we need to rely on Zaluska in goal and also bed in a couple of prospects then lets hope its not a bit too much for this young squad.

 

Dude, we have 3 new signings Wilson, Wanyama and Mathews on the back of this Neil was building a new team last season and we only lost cause we shot ourselves in the foot on the home straight. I think we are in a great position for the new season and cant wait for it to start. I would love to see us sign an out and out target man (Sutton or Hartson) to support Hooper and Stokes but apart from that and on the home front we are looking good man relax the titles in the bag.... Even THEY know it !!

Through and Through

 

Quality not quantity.

 

i really do have absolute total faith in lenny , how far this team has come in such a short time is mindboggling , the fans , the passion , is back and i think he knows exactly what he needs to take us to the next step.

 

I think we'll do ok with the current squad.

 

Interest

He said: "Aston Villa were interested but I chose to come here.
"I chose Celtic because I really wanted to win trophies and Celtic are a great club, an historical club.
"European football was another reason. Aston Villa aren't playing in the Europa League and Celtic will be.
"It was an easy choice for me."

 

they just had the numbers to make a squad last season due to loan signings. they need a * of a lot of players in during this window. they're in a rebuilding period that we found ourselves in last summer. Lennon did great as we have now a base to build upon by retaining the core of the team and get 2 or 3 more signings. McCoist has said he needs 5 before the window closes.

i'm more worried about who is leaving rather than who is coming in. i know we'll get a minimum of 2 players in before the window shuts. i'm not happy about keeping the deadwood after August.

 

We`er not getting left behind as you question, its business as usual by THOSE running Celtic the inept fitba wise BOARD!

 

I agree that we need to shed some weight.

Left behind? Absolutely not. Ideally we would've signed Given and Bellamy, the latter may still happen, but we're in a good position for this season.

We haven't lost anyone that we'd rather keep (yet) and brought a few players in 1st team and otherwise.

We were the better team last season, Rangurs got lucky. Miller was the difference in the first half, scoring winning goals when their play didn't deserve it. They're now looking at having to add to their team and hope the players settle in and quick.

12 months on for the majority of our squad, EUROPE DOES NOT MATTER, the League is and will be our priority, we're looking good.

 

We should gave bid £4m for Wallace.

I'm gutted we missed out on a guy that would make Lee Naylor look consistant.

 

Too late Timmy :bbpd::bbpd::bbpd:

RTID!

 

"He's versatile, he will fit into Ally's plans, they must have been watching him for ages, the scouts have really unearthed a gem, Whyte pulled out all the stops."

He sat on the bench alongside David Healy.

 

Still a tried and tested player in the SPL - plus a regular for Scotland.

Still better than that one-season wunder blunder Emilio Iza......something:bbpd::bbpd::bbpd::bbpd::bbpd:

RTID!

 

We could do with offloading a few thats for sure. Murphy, Loovens, O'Dea, Hooiveld for starters.

We have signed 3 players in Matthews, Wanyama and Wilson, but really only Wilson is going to be a regular. Matthews wont replace Wilson or Cha and I dont see Wanyama playing in midfield or central defence. They will be additions to the squad.

We still need another striker in my opinion, hopefully Neil is awaiting the english teams squad announcements before getting one in.

Just need Zaluska to be solid till the number 1 position is sorted.
