    Getting enough in for the first qualifier was never happening.

    However the fact remains that I believe we need about 10-12 players before the end of the window. If we achieve that I'll be happier. But we need to see a flurry of movement soon.

    We need to sell the likes of ajer, eddy, christie and Ntcham that don’t want to be here and use that to fund bringing in players that do. Definitely need to start seeing some quality coming in soon though to bed them in

    You would think after that complete disaster of a season they would be eager to get our house in order but as per usual it looks more than likely we'll go into CL qualifiers without addressing key areas of the team.

    That's the Celtic board for you the most incompentant clueless clowns you will come across and to be two weeks away from the champions League qualifiers without a major signings is a disgrace .

    Qualifiers are a write off for me this year TBH. We dicked about too long in terms of getting a manager in so transfers make zero difference now. Youre talking less than 2 weeks till the first game.

    It's a joke that we're even having to say it as well..

    Qualifiers are a write off
    A lot writing the league off also

    All because of our board's failure to to act sooner..

    We're literally on the backfoot with everything..

    It's a shambles..

    Another 35 million down the drain and it's the same every season and this board never learn and say again new leadership needed at the club and fresh board members who are Celtic men with ambition for the club not this * show .

    For me the league is the most important thing & anything else is a bonus. I don't think most fans will have this attitude about Europe. I feel * for Ange in this whole thing. The club are totally * about in getting the players in to help him & he will end up taking a large part of the blame if Europe is a disaster :31:

    Do you know know which teams we can draw if we were to pass midtjyland? I can remember the possible teams mentioned being tough but can’t remember who they were. Even without new signings we SHOULD beat midtjyland….. If not then we really are woeful

    Galastasaray, Rapid, PSV. Sparta and Spartak Moscow & Genk depending on who wins in QR2. Play off would throw in Shahktar, Benfica and Monaco.

    I think that’s it’s but maybe there’s been some changes.

    I agree in terms of volume but we really should have had 3/4 players in minimum before the first qualifier.

    They are talking about a new era yet we are going into the qualifiers under prepared just like every other year.

    It’s just not good enough. If we go out then it makes it even harder to attract good players. We already have a huge mountain to climb and we seem intent on making the task even bigger.

    Mate the way we are going about our business I'm starting to worry about the league..

    So far we have signed two young lads from championship relegated Sheffield Wed..

    We have known since January what we needed in terms of personal and again after the fans backed the club in terms of Season tickets the board are ripping the * again..

    We have started our training camp and not one player has been brought in that will improve our first team.. And we still have at least 5 or 6 players that don't want to be here and quite a few that are not good enough

    We are * shambles

    I agree don't get me wrong but as I've said above we spent WAY too long on getting a manager in.

    I'm not an expert but i would imagine what has happened is AP is appointed and once he is in the building and settled which is only really the last couple weeks, he would be handed a list of targets who we have looked at prior to him coming in and fhen he has to pick from that...so immediately that isn't ideal in terms of getting guys in.

    There's just a * of a lot going on in that first few weeks for us to be insanely organised transfers wise (which we never are anyway!).

    He probably isn't happy with the scouting set up etc, I'd be surprised if we see the impact of his eye for a player until 2 or 3 windows time as I'd be astonished if any of these players barring maybe Mooy if he signed etc are ones he's targeted.

    Vuskovic and Ogurhide are clearly guys we've had on a list for months and he's had a quick look and probably thought aye I could work with that. It's not ideal but that's where we are.

    These guys could be great signings and I like the idea of Vuskovic, but they're clearly targets from the old regime anyway who Postecoglou will run an eye over and give the nod to. Same with Hickey. Clearly not someone he will be aware of let's be honest.

    All of this just makes for a very difficult first window. If we had any sense as a club we'd have gotten him in 4 months ago and * off Kennedy.

    Pretty doubtful but it’s football and stranger things have happened. EL groups is a bare minimum this summer. Decent group and a run in the knockouts would do wonders for our confidence in Europe. Look what it’s done for them cvnts.

    True we should be aiming for CL but let’s be realistic here. Main focus should be on winning the league this year. Natural order and would guarantee a spot on the CL groups.
