    He'll definitely be a better option than yang if Taylors not injured.

    There’s an inherent weakness at the club in originating and executing but-side deals within a timely manner.

    We really need fresh blood at that level.

    He's not a bad player.

    But they're also basing their opinions on years of seeing him, much like we would with forrest. The fact is he's appeared 12 times in the league this season for a total of 94 mins. I also find it hard to believe he isn't one we couldn't have gotten in the door sooner.

    I'm not that arsed about him, its the fact all the supposed hard work didn't lead to another striker or winger is my issue. The fact we got schlupp is fine for 4 months.

    I think there's a lot of mental gymnastics being done by many fans to try and convince themselves that not replacing Kyogo is something that isn't deserved of criticism. I can't get my head around it. If we'd done the same with edouard, dembele etc would it have gotten the same reaction?

    Still raging about that, game was still in the melting pot at that stage, a result there and we maybe get a better draw

    who plays up top If Idah gets injured for the Bayern game?

    Just find it strange that a club with our resources couldn't get a Striker in. I can't be bothered to be raging with it as we've seen it all before but it's just deflating. It's not all doom and gloom like some are saying but * come on Celtic could of got another striker in

    Pretty sure Scales was holding his thigh or leg at that point and out on his *. I'm not entirely convinced it was a message.

    There is still a lot of dross in the squad. Those out on loan such as Tillio, Kwon, Welsh, Lagerbielke, have no future at the club. Nawrocki, Yang, Montgomery need punted also.

    My positive spin, and it's very much spin, is we have experienced cover at left back and left wing, and potentially a new player we can sign to cover Tierney / LW.


    I know they are different players, play in different positions and he wasn't his replacement but I'd rather have Jota than Kyogo in that trade off.

    I'd also like to see Idah get a run at it and see Maeda through the middle as a pressing forward, and I do think Kuhn and Jota are more Rodgers wingers with Jota being able to bring more out of Idah.

    Still wanted and needed a striker though and all the things above would still remain true.

    Agreed.

    As much as we liked the last summer window for getting rid of some of it, it's still full of *.

    Still questions mark even if McCarthy is still * here or not?

    You’d imagine this was down to still hoping we could get Tierney in.

    Did you see Rodgers reaction to our goals? He absolutely wanted something out that game as well. It’s absolutely nonsense to suggest he was making subs to make a point. We had * nada on the bench to pick from.

    If they make team worse then don't put them on.

    I genuinely believe he chucked it, maybe not to make a point to board but more in a sporting sense as wed qualified already - so wanted to let young players experience UCL, maybe help keep them at club.
    I love Rodgers but his subs in this case were desperately poor.

    I think most fans felt happy coming out the summer and felt we had the strongest squad in some time. The euphoria of that has tailed a bit, but it still holds. This squad is more than good enough domestically and we have improved in Europe.

    However, in typical Celtic fashion we have fired a bullet into our own foot. Letting Kyogo leave was only ever going to be good business if we had another dedicated striker come in. Even on loan.

    Shlupp looks a good signing and will cover a number of areas, including LB, but * me Celtic.

    Was mentioning the overall momentum in transfers and the change in approach with @JC Anton recently.
    Where summer window, although not perfect and left areas still needing addressed, the outlay for both Engels and Idah (aside from if they are worth it), was a positive sign.

    Think it's safe to say, no matter what you think of schlupp, this winter window has been back to the usual and any good will/momentum from summer time has been lost again.

    Back to the usual under the stewardship of PL.
