[Official TC Thread] Celtic 25/26 Summer transfer window: Stage: Takes time to get quality in! Remember!

Thought the deadline to add new players was tomorrow

 

Genuinely though mate, can you see that happening? and that payer even coming straight in to the side?

I think there's no chance and is unfair on the hypothetical player if it was to happen (by some miracle)

 

Good players can make an impact, if we think if Sinclair or even Antman last week for the Huns..

Whether we get anyone in is another story.

 

You can add two extra players 24hrs before the ko of the 1st leg.. as long as we have the full quota of homegrown/club trained players in the squad.

 

True, I hope it will happen but I don't see it given the time we've had to bring players in has passed us by so far.

 

I don't think we'll have any new faces registered for the qualifiers but do think we'll have new faces in by the time we go to Ibrox..

 

I think wingers can make an instant impact on a side if we managed to get one in.

Especially in matches where you will hopefully dominate the ball and not be expected to defend in detail.

 

Asleep at the wheel.... * haven't bothered to get off the couch amd look for the car keys. Lazy power hungry *.

 

How many times does our board need telling that giving players a proper preseason where they can get to know their colleagues and the system is vital, * accountants thinking they know better than our most successful manager in twenty years, our "custodians" need hunting and I'll provide the pitchforks is someone else can manage the flaming torches, honestly our closed ST list gives our board to much power, some massive protests are needed

 

Waiting for a bus to arrive to use up their spare change..

 

I still can't believe there hasn't been a single credible link for what seems like forever

 

It’s summer, might be worried their driveway will get hot

 

Dont think anything since Yamada. Even the Berum bid was about a month old when it finally came out.

 

That's the frustration, we're pretty powerless..

 

Not enough people would be willing to take action tho. By action I mean protest outside the ground rather than go inside or even walk out during.

The European game ain't the time for that but against likes of Livi or something then why not?

 

Absolutely loved it when we announced kyogo and no one had a clue about it. Wish all of our deals were like that. The media speculation is tedious

 

I understand the frustration and we're definitely a shambles in recruitment and that needs to change, quickly..amongst other things..

The best we can hope for is to push the club for a fan advisory group where the CEO has to answer to the fans on a regular basis..

As, actually what is the basis for a demonstration at this stage.. CL Qualification is definitely within our grasp(even if we have needlessly gambled), we've won our first two domestic games, on the back of yet another domestic dominant season, a penalty shoot away from a treble, we've improved the squad in defence and midfield with KT and Nygren. With a window thats still open..

Even if there was a demonstration or walk out, nothing would change..

If we crash out the CL or we don't strengthen in the areas we need by the end of the window, then that would be the time.. but maybe im just apathetic in my old age..

 

I think we have had 1 credible transfer link in about 6 weeks now which was JSP who we signed on a loan deal. Even the Broem links are from back at the end of last season according to what we know, they were reported on earlier but only picked up by the Scottish media at a later date. We never returned for Orjasaeter or Kvistgarden or Balikwisha. It's quite clear we will not be spending over £5m on a player in this window. I'd be shocked if we do, CL qualification or not. It's became very apparent that we don't have anyone identified and we are waiting until the final week of the window to see who EPL clubs and other sides from the big European leagues want to get off their books. We are effectively waiting for used car salesmen (agents) to approach us and offer us their bangers and we will try and haggle the most miserly deal with them.

I expect 2 signings, one on loan and one permanent along with Tilio, Welsh and Kenny or Osmand out the door on loan.

It's nowhere near good enough but its the most optimistic I can get at this point.

 

We never seem to sign players at this time, out everyone we sign in summer transfer windows probably less than 10% sign between say like the 23rd of July and 23rd of August which is a huge part of the window.

Last guys we signed between then are Simpson-Pusey, Lagerbielke, Starfelt/Hart and Izaguirre in 2018.

Pretty much everyone else signs before or after then. Probably even 35% of our summer business seems to be done between the 27th of August and when the window shuts, we must average about 3 signings per season in that time.
