Celtic Transfers 2024

Mon Celtic ffs..

 

There’s just no excuses for where our squad is at the moment.

For all people are saying in the Lawal thread that we’re good at getting decent fees for back up players. We’re pish at getting them out the door in the first place.

Johnston should have been punted years ago, and after his time at West Brom he should be an easy one to sell. Lagerbielke and Nawrocki still here. Kobayashi as well. And others.

But in terms of incomings…just repeating ourselves now. We are the richest we’ve ever been and we’ve started the season with one striker and one left back.

No serious club in the world is doing that. It’s a * shambles.

 

We have to be hoarding the money for something.

 

Extra game in the Champions League so more fines from UEFA for having a political/ethical opinion and holding sparklers

 

BR post-match comments re transfers don't exactly suggest we should be getting our hopes up. I suspect if anything is done it'll be right at the end of the window with us picking-up a loan or two from England after the EPL clubs have sorted out who's surplus to requirements. I understand BR not wanting more projects but I don't agree with focusing on England so much. The fees and wages are massively inflated and the players there are usually reluctant to leave especially to somewhere like the SPL. There's actual plenty of good players out there that fall between being projects or higher-end EPL players(who usually only come here as a last resort), I just wish the club realised it.

 

I feel like Rodgers doesn't have the bottle to manage a strong team and doesn't want us spending too much money himself.

Maybe thinks if we spend too much or have a really strong team and bench more will be expected of him and if he was to do poor in Europe it would be an embarrassment.

So is happy to have a weaker squad or some positions very thin as excuses as to not doing better.

How else can you always bring up needing better quality but at the same time not bother your * at all about actually getting better quality.

Even under Lennon we would not have come out of January probably without a new centre-half and left-back.

 

There's always money in the driveway

 

There no signing a center half when we have so many.

I doubt ange would have effectively abandoned lager felt and nawroki.

And.rodgers thinks scales.is better than both or.is.it.just cause he's irish

 

Progression is what we must strive for.

This seasons starting CBs, were last years back up choice after spending £7m on Maik and Gus. We have to replace Scales. It's must. It may alleviate the pressure on Taylor as well, although he needs replaced also.

We've had opportunities to sell Gus amd Welsh, both rejected. So there's opportunity to rectify this issue.

 

Lagerfelt

 

Hopefullt we have some signings in over next few weeks

 

I have very low expectations for this board/recruitment team/CEO/whoever negotiates new signings, but even they aren’t being met any more.

I’d be * myself laughing at Mikey Johnston coming off the bench as our back up striker in 2024 if it wasn’t so depressingly tragic.

 

It might not be board fault half time. I say Norwich doesn’t want sell idah til they got replacement lined up. Why u sell ur back up striker and been short.
Rodgers probably want player that clubs don’t want sell yet before get placement lined up.
Brendan could be problem here. Targeting players that don’t want come us.

 

If these guys don't release the funds to buy the quality and strengthen this team to at least give us some hope in Europe I really hope Rodgers walks... we've sat back and watched this mob self sabotage the potential of this football club for too long.. winning the league isn't enough anymore..this * needs to come to a head and if the manager was to walk bcoz he wasn't getting the backing he required then it'll give the fans the motivation needed to force change in the boardroom. These guys are ripping the pish when Mikey Johnston is your back up striker.

 

Spoke about this the other day and to further drive home the point. Wolves are wanting 20m euro for that * Fabio Silva, and likely will get it too. That league is * mental, why our manager persists with trying to sign players from it is bizarre

 

18 days left to sign 4 or 5 players.

 

As Queen Cersei once said, 'I choose violence'. That's about where I am at now.

 

At this point I would genuinely except in the next week if we managed to move on a few of the fringe players.

Sounds like Lawal is away, if we could get on and shift Lagerbielke, Kobayashi and Mikey Johnston that would be great.

One caveat get the Idah deal over the line this week too, I would want him involved in a couple of games and settled for playing them at the start of September.

Then with 10 days left really focus on getting another 3 or 4 when O’Riley goes in.
