    We signed anyone yet?

    Not to worry we just need multiple players per day now.

    Keep the faith

    Big day today I feel. If we get to midnight and Palma is the only one in the door (if he even is) we are toiling.

    Just came on to cheer myself up this morning. Mission successful. Away to cry in the shower and then throw a cyanide pill into the muesli tin for funsies.

    Don't see how we get the required number in now tbh. Not at the speed we are working.

    I'm not sure those in charge of recruitment even know what is required. Surely if they did we wouldn't be in the mess we are right now.

    Said this for years. The amount of times especially we've had a player flown in on a Monday and dragged the * out of it to pass him off as a deadline day signing is cringe worthy.

    We work at snails pace to get players in

    Those in charge have to know? Surely there is communication from the manager on what he needs.

    Usually strong links are leaked when someone is about to sign, we've seen it this summer. The strong links have usually signed within the week. With a few days to go no links except Palma.
    I get the feeling we are waiting for a club to contact us regarding a loan or LTB. Which leaves us with other teams scraps.

    tbh the only positive of the lack of signings is not having to listen to any Gerry McCulloch interviews

    Really hope I’m wrong but looks like we’ll get a couple deadline loans in if we’re lucky . All that money in the bank as well , * depressing. Not even hardly any rumours to get us excited.

    Mind a month or so ago when there were rumours of breaking our transfer fee record not once, but twice. Now we seem to be scratching around and a lot will be buzzing when we get a few loans in the last few hours of the window. It’s back to being a * shambles.

    Celtic are on track to announce the signing of Luis Palma in the next days as they work on a stunning five-player signing blitz, sources have told Football Insider.

    The Glasgow giants have agreed a deal with Greek club Aris FC for Palma worth £3.5million and he will sign a four-year contract.

    The deal has been held up while Palma waits for international clearance to travel to the UK but he is expected in Glasgow for a medical and to finalise the deal in the next 24-48 hours.



    Celtic are also targeting a new goalkeeper, left-back and centre-forward, while they are now in the market for a centre-back.

    Brendan Rodgers confirmed last week that injuries to Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh means the club will have to turn to the market for a replacement.


    It is believed talks are already underway over securing their top targets in the positions identified.


    Rodgers had to deploy Liam Scales, who spent last season on loan at Aberdeen, and new signing Gustaf Lagerbielke as his centre-back pairing in their 0-0 draw with St Johnstone on Saturday (26 August).

    The Scottish giants’ only other option at centre-back is Yuki Kobayashi, who has struggled to make inroads to the first team, after losing Carl Starfelt to Celta Vigo earlier this summer.
