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

Rather than pay double for the Harmaby winger I'd rather we honestly took a punt on a player in Scotland or a loan from a club.

I don't like loans, but I'd rather that than overpay for * and you're not stuck with trying to punt them in 12 months.

 

Late night Maeda sale.

 

Went to sleep because I had a migraine expecting to see some news


Away back to * sleep now

 

Bring in Tounetki, Breum, Bowie from Hibs and someone else on loan from PSG/Man City/Brighton/Bayern/Chelsea/Barcelona/Arsenal or whoever, an attaking player preferable for the right.

Punt Idah and Yang, loan out Inamura, Kenny and Osmand even give Hibs those 3.

Nygren Breum Balikwisha
Forrest (Loan) Tounetki

Maeda
Bowie
Yamada
​

Change to playing 4-2-3-1 since Nygren, Breum and Balikwisha are all midfielders anyway, switch them about from game to game.

 

Part in bold, then if this was any other job you would be binned and out the door.

You along with the board clearly love the bank balance instead of being proactive regarding what we need.

Rodgers tactics hasn’t helped but nor has brining in what was needed in replacing both Kyogo and Kuhn in the last two windows.

So the gamble has cost the club 40 million this season and damaged us long term regarding the co-efficient.

On the face of it weighing it up why the * would you gamble all that? Arrogance and negligence.

 

You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect that.

But I stand by what I said, I would have taken that calculated gamble too. I doubt very much if I would have been sacked. It would have been a calculated, collective gamble. You would have had to have sacked the lot of us then.

I have supported Brendan up until now, but the Kairat shitshow is his baby, nobody's elses.

 

We always wait until "Lawwell-time" our version of Fergie time where we make 3/4 of our summer signings after the 27th of August.

Shocking how consistent it is, not even one year do we not do this even though our season starts 4 weeks before.

It's some sort of strategy, maybe we enjoy the hectic days of agents and clubs trying to punt and loan out guys at the last minute and desperate players wanting to leave teams and find out everything thats going on and then decide who we want from them.

 

The very definition of a gamble means you’re gaining something if it goes as you predicted.

If we had won on Tuesday, what exactly was the upside of the gamble?

It’s a pointless “gamble” as everything that we stood to gain in terms of recruitment could have been achieved prior to the qualifier, probably for less money than it would cost now.

Bewildering.

 

Is anyone else starting to panic? The window shuts in 5 days and we need major surgery to this squad, yet we are getting radio silence. Absolutely nothing new being surfaced in terms of players linked.

Surely to * the board weren't expecting Osmand and Shin Yamada to be the main signings of the summer and expecting them to be replacements for kyogo?

Surely they're not holding onto Balakwisha and Sarachi as the deadline day signings?

Honestly, supporting this club should be the easiest thing in the world to do but this board makes you want to turn your back!

 

I don't really understand why anybody has taken the gamble. I understand not wanting to do all your business ready for Kairat but leaving us with only 3 senior fullbacks, 2 senior wingers (neither deserving of a start) and none of your strikers scoring is a really stupid gamble. Injuries could happen and there is no cover, what if it was Tierney injured in the first leg and not Johnstone? We'd have been royally *.

We were bringing in players anyway after, if a couple of them cost a bit extra then so be it.

We also don't have players for an away match at Ibrox.

 

no sense in panicing you already know whats gonna happen

 

Nah mate just you and Blochairnbhoy and about another 98% of Celtic fans

 

there was no gamble to be had we needed 4 or 5 first team players in before that qualifier failure to do that has cost us £40m .what was there to gain signing players this week instead of last

 

I'm past that stage, I've gave up.
