[Official TC Thread] Celtic 25/26 Summer transfer window: Stage: Something Stinks and it's not happylosses' sweaty baws

I've seen more movement from a statue

 

Not even a sniff of a decent rumour.

 

aye fair enough

maybe were aiming for a higher quality player and they players are waiting to see if they can get a bigger pay day than us

at this stage thats what im hoping for anyhow, some really decent players that havent got a move to the epl or the likes and will improve us for the champions league

 

They need to be in by saturday latest to be anywhere near ready for next week

 

Did you honestly expect anything else. Shower of * in control of our club

 

Probably not no

 

Doubt we will be getting anyone in before the qualifier

 

If meada or Forrest gets injured we are in * street before this qualifier and with a board always likes to make money they are gambling big time with £40 million plus and if we brought in two wingers we would be in a better position and it's just * sabotage from this out of touch board .

 

I’d sook the pair of them simultaneously in exchange for a right winger.

 

whos gonna tell poor auld brendan

 

Pm sent

 

It’s time to update the thread title after this development.

 

Never been so proud

 

That's the big question. Nobody is coming in by Tuesday. We take a full week to conclude deals once we have permission to speak to the player. The Ibrox one is a genuine question. I think the most we are getting before the window is 2 players and one of those will be a loan deal. It's wholly unacceptable but its the best I can foresee now.

Rodgers is deliberately trying to lift the expectations of the fans and he is quite clear where the deals are falling down - the people who control the pursestrings won't loosen them. He wants the fans to be angry, he wants them to voice their frustration and anger at Lawwell, Nicholson and Desmond. All through the January transfer last year he made it clear that expected and was hopeful that a new striker would be brought it - we didn't get one. All the other transfer windows he said he expects quality, he expects deals, they never get done. He is trying to whip up the fans to go against the board and he's dead right to.

Rodgers hasn't got a transfer budget from Celtic since he took the job back on. Every transfer window has been a window of austerity, we divest in the squad, we sell off our best players and then scrimp on saving them. We are the only club in the world that operate like this. Shame on our board but we as a fanbase need to start mobilising and getting serious with how we allow this to happen.

The only way out of this is through groupins like the Celtic Trust and we probably need to focus on attracting new shareholdings with the the capital and ambition to grow this club because you can guarantee if Desmond is leaving this club the money hoarded in it won't be going towards Celtic FC, it will be finding a channel out of it and into other private investments of his.
