    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made a massively significant statement regarding the January transfer window in his post-match interview this afternoon.

    Rodgers revealed just how busy he hopes the club will be over the next month, with some huge fixtures during that time against the likes of Rangers, Young Boys, and Aston Villa.

    He said: (BBC Sport), “We need more. We need to. It’s not just for now; it’s for our future, so we’ll always look to add to our attacking intent. I think, especially, January always gives you that chance to do that if there are players available. I always think being able to add goal threats to the team is important.


    We did it last January—Adam and Nicolas came in last January and made a big difference for us. Especially Adam, at that time, he was a real catalyst for us. So, I always think adding goals, adding creativity, that’s something that hopefully we’ll be able to do in January.

    “We just want good players. A good player might be a million pounds, they might be two million, or they might be six or seven. So yeah, the support is there to get the right player. It’s not just about getting a really expensive one.

    “But yeah, we’re all in sync, we all know what our plan is, and if we can do that, it will be great, and that will be a huge boost for the squad.”

    Positive comments. I'd expect about 3 minimum, can tell he will be seeing the same things we all are...

    Name 1 player in world football apart from prime Cristiano who excels at both pace and power. I guess prime Wayne Rooney was a second one? You might find some more, but they are all world class players that we cannot afford. More often than not, pace and power don't go together. If you add muscle you lose mobility. If you lose muscle to gain mobility you lose stength.

    Where to even begin with this.

    By pace, I don’t think we’re expecting Usain Bolt. Matched with the power of Didier Drogba.

    Moussa Dembele was a perfect example of pace and power.

    If Tierney is fit he has both pace and power. Two of his biggest attributes.

    Diawara from Lyon looks to have it, too.

    Diawara looks slow. Powerful but slow.
