    You missed Janko at right back against Hapoel Beer Sheva and Forrest up front against Rosenborg.

    Ties we scraped through but still completely unforgivable.

    It’s not a fact though, is it?

    We fielded the worst Celtic forward line of all time, including a wee Korean guy who’d never be on our bench under a competent operation, and Forrest who was deemed unusable 4 years ago.

    Over qualified to beat who?

    It was all so predictable and avoidable we've been here seen it done it all before and will do it again unless there is proper change in the boardroom not just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as we seen last time

    I’m sure there was some Lewis Morgan as a striker in them, and Ryan Christie before he was even deemed a bench player?

    It isn't. It's entirely subjective.

    As has already been said.

    The worst part of this is I dont think it changes who we were going to target.

    Think we were always going to buy a couple of players and the rest would be loans on deadline day. Such a tin pot attitude we have.

    I do think we may say Maeda move on if a decent offer comes in.

    Past caring who we sign now as the likelyhood is that we will sell another one of our top players to replace them with utter *, The Board have sucked every enjoyment out of this season and its only end of August.

    Gutted but we have to move on from the damage already done. Back the manager bring in the players we need to win the league and progress well in the Europa. Failure to react to last night will almost be worse

    The only thing they could do now is to just come out and spend like * crazy this week, and not even that would calm fans down enough.

    They won't spend * and we all know it.

    Right winger, striker and add defensive mid to that all needed badly once Baliwisha and the left back are in. 4 days to go and scrambling about as per.

    Not including any outgoings, likely Maeda and maybe Hatate.

    The "worst forward line of all time"?

    I get emotions are running well past danger point, but apparently there's no reasoning with lunacy.

    It's not.

    Already highlighted a handful of worse transfer windows, and added in with a previous poster including the willo flood window, which thankfully I had completely forgot all about.

    I get what you are saying but this is the only way we can have a decent season. I dont think we will win the league with this front 3.

    EL this season is comedy *, go look at it. We could have a serious go at it if we got 3-4 good players in. Wont happen though.

    This is right up there as one of the worst windows i can remember..

    3 mill odd spent so far
    Out to a Kazakh mob already
    Yang, and 34 year old Forrest as our starting wingers
    A side with zero creativity
    Slow
    No imagination
    Scales starting and our covering left back
    Ralston as our main right back for months now
    No replaced Kuhn
    No replaced Kyogo
    Subs having to come on like Donovan and Murray (who were excellent) because we're at the bare bones

    We've got gaping holes throughout the squad and we're linked with a left back who'll looks chronic. A 39 year old free agent striker. A winger who's always injured, we've been tracking for a year and a half and who plenty don't want. And no right winger to replace our best outlet who's gone..

    It's been a monumentally * window..

    Don't give a * really.

    They could pull off some real gems and get in fantastic players now for 4 or 5 position but now, it does not move the needle at all for the fans. If anything it will only serve to further antagonise the fanbase.

    Just want this season done with now as it is clear as * day Rodgers will not be our manager next season.

    Aye but they're worse in your opinion. Just because you say it's a fact doesn't mean it is:56:

    Celtic forward line.

    I’ve never seen a worse Celtic forward line in my lifetime.

    If you have, condolences.

    Forward line under Lou Macari will take some beating for being atrocious.
