    Famous last words...but I dont see how we dont bring in a proper first team striker now.

    Idah has agreed terms and is now cooling his boots. Weve said he can go but only when he is replaced, and its been made public that we are targeting a proper level of player that could nake a difference.

    It feels like Anderlecht can 'name their price' now because surely we cannot admit to not being able to sign a striker and then force Idah to stay. We get ourselves in these spots but paying over the odds feels better than failing to bring anyone in now

    Thought as much.

    We wanted one before him going. Imagine a couple loans will come in.

    Honestly losing interest in the club

    Season after season we fail to prepare properly and now we’ve got a chance to offload Idah and Yang for decent money and we can’t do it because we can’t replace them.

    We will never fulfill our potential as a club with these charlatans in charge.

    Rodgers can do one as well. ‘The club is very well run’ and ‘directors bleed for Celtic’ - two lies.

    We are a * joke of a club regarding transfers.

    Every other * can make the offers and we sell them, yet we struggle to get a deal over the line.

    * * take.

    We are going to end up with Idah not leaving and he is going to be our first team forward.

    The amount of quality players we’ve missed out on over the years over a few hundred grand here and there must be utterly astounding.

    Rodgers saying 2 strikers in if Idah goes. This comes off the back of his comments, a few weeeks ago, about Idah needing competition to get the best out of him.

    So is that another signing, that he apparently had the "final say" on, from Japan that hes refusing to acknowledge?

    From a guy who famously said we have a million wingers hes sure seems to be stockpiling strikers this summer.

    Hopefully today is a busy and productive day. Do not want Yang, Jamesie or Idah starting at mordor.

    Rodgers has clearly been unhappy. The whole 'you probably know more about transfers than me' stuff is an indication he's displeased with the board. No deal announced, come on. Him defending the board all of a sudden is a change of pace, he hasn't done it all summer.

    That’s the least he’s said for weeks I took as chinning the board. That was his standard sort of palming * away.


    Almost everything else he has said I’ve took what you’ve read into that one though :56:

    After Kyogo left we scored about 30 goals from the lone striker position.

    Kyogo was replaced, Maeda and Idah more than done that.

    And Maeda could because we had Jota.

    Who’s injured just now. After Kyogo left we were better return from his position, that’s replacing.


    Kuhn makes up for no replacement on his own though. We knew from January he was * off,

    Even still, we blocked a move for Tilio despite not needing him. Now we've blocked Yang despite signing Balikwisha yet were happy to go with just Yang for Kairat.

    It's all contradictory fluff at this point. We have no clear policy on anything except start the opening bid low as *.
