    Of course. Wouldn't say I'm confident of doing well, but am definitely not ruling it out.

    Hart is a treble winner but even last season you could see he was struggling. I know the champions league is elite level but he had the worst save to shot % last year and he couldn’t of been far away in the season before’s Europa. We’ve shown in the past we can afford keepers that can perform at that level. There’s nothing wrong with thanking Hart and Taylor ect and then look to strengthen.

    Whats the point in having all that money on the bank just to go, ahh well these are all treble winners there’s no need to upgrade?

    I have absolutely no doubt we will turn it around under Rodgers, maybe not to peak Ange levels but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be upgrading our squad constantly.

    Anyway i’m rabbling on

    With or without the one or two signings we are still linked with we are a ECL team at best, nowhere near CL material. For those happy to "take the money" from the CL regardless, well we need to spend some of it.

    We're seeing plenty of links to Attacking players, and one or two links to some midfielders, but the lack of anything concrete over LB and CB is a bit worrying.

    I've gave up with GK, I think it's clear the club are kicking that can down the road until January at the very least, even came to peace with it.

    Not signing a proper LB will cost us this season, it is so evidently clear that Taylor is our weak spot in the team currently, and his back-up is barely a footballer.

    Can't be using Scales throughout the CL, would be suicide. Guy let a St Johnstone player take the * out of him last weekend.

    Praying we see some new links either later today or tomorrow.

    It's the lack of a centre half that's putting the fear in me. Taylor actually normally does ok against them but it's a big strong no nonsense CB we need more than anything against them

    Of course he will. Puts pressure squarely back at the board to reinvest in the squad. Fans will ask for the same. He won't be able to work miracles with players he doesn't want or hasnt bought in himself.

    Scales in the CL has Ralston vs Neymar written all over it.

    We'll get a centre half and left back mate..

    The manager already confirmed looking for experience at the back with our injuries and it's clear Taylor doesn't work and Bernabei is a useless waste of space..

    Delighted to be getting some links to players.

    We need at least 4 first team ready players imo.

    * hurry up, Celtic.

    Can't disagree with any of that really, except the bolded part. You're saying our board don't want to improve the team, they want to use stick with what they have. An assumption based on absolutely nothing bar this narrative that we're happy doing just enough to be better than the huns.

    It's bullshit mate. You can argue we're not going about it the right way in terms of improving, but saying the board actively don't want to improve is complete gibberish.
