Hearing we've had 2 loan bids knocked backed for Gomez and wisdom, u heard anything ED? Slightly concerns me that it's to loan deals we're wanting to be honest! That's if it's true mind you! No offence to the 2 players but none of them really excite me! Hope it's not a sign of what's to come!

{Ed007's Note - I've not heard that the deals have been turned down but there's another club who want to sign Wisdom permanently which Liverpool seem to prefer.}

Really underwhelmed to be honest ED! Really want us to add some experience to that squad! Defo need a couple of older heads in there I think.

{Ed007's Note - There's plenty of time left to get things sorted out.}

Yeh your right ED lol. just looking at some of the names linked and it's not filling me with much confidence! Lol. just hoping Brendan pulls a few out the bag!

{Ed007's Note - I've not been that impressed myself mate, then again I'm not too impressed with Rodgers appointment.}

{Ed007's Note - I've not been overly impressed by the names we're being linked to but then again I'm not that impressed by Rodgers appointment. At least the manager is taking his time and assessing what he already has and what we need and don't forget that he hasn't even met the majority of the players yet. I expect things to move up a notch this coming week as preseason starts. }

I'm sure the manager has a good idea what he wants/ needs and I would expect after a few pre season games we will see a few signings

Let's remember celtic keep there business quiet so wouldn't be too worried about these names being mentioned just now.

Aye mate true enough, the players are back on Monday so hopefully once he's had a good look at them over the next few weeks and seeing them in a few games he'll get a better idea of what he's got! Said for a while but that we need a few older more experienced guys in that dressing room! To many players are a soft touch in there IMO. but hopefully like u said, over the next couple of weeks we'll see some movement! Cheers ED.

{Ed007's Note - (yes) Patience mate, hopefully it'll be worth it in the end.}

I am not impressed either but endless lists of names linking players to Celtic have never resulted in any of the named players actually arriving . I prefer Celtic with all their faults to do their scouting and not depend on names the Scottish media comes up with .
I want a few experienced players all right but I hope we don't go to the near forties or to the ex prisoners to fill our team.

{Ed007's Note - We seem to be linked with any player Rodgers has an acquaintance with and you're right, Chris most of it's just the msm making up headlines.}

Bit harsh Ed about BR's appointment mate?

He has managed to fill the shop, massive step up from being underwhelmed @ RD appointment IMO

In all honesty mate who could have we got in that eclipses BR (y) ?

{Ed007's Note - Jamie I've seen the Liverpool fans trash him and pick his management style apart, I've heard stories about the way he's treated young players by making them empty promises before being 'Brendaned' like Andre Wisdom was - it's all there for you to read on their site including Ed001's and Ed002's input over the years.
Rodgers is being paid a hell of a lot more than RD was, 8 times as much if certain people are to be believed, and it's a massive risk. Just because he's Celtic-minded and was friends with TB doesn't mean he's the right man for the job, for the money we're paying him we could have have been more adventurous in the appointment.}

Fair enough but from the people touted maybe only Moyes could have eclipsed him

I honestly think PL and DD could not have gave us someone "left field" It had to be big, popular etc they had many boxes to tick IMO or they were leaving themselves open this time round (y)

As ever no reason to doubt you but makes you wonder why we are pursuing Wisdom then?

{Ed007's Note - I mentioned the other day that Rodgers would have some job convincing Wisdom to join him at Celtic after the way he treated him. I don't expect things to be as plain sailing behind the scenes as some people seem to be hoping they will be, Rodgers is a very divisive figure and if he doesn't buck his ideas up about youth players and realise how important it should be for us it could end up like another MON era and put us back years in the long run.
A manger who doesn't watch his own youth teams doesn't exactly fill me with long term confidence.}

I thought Rodgers did a good job at Swansea but a poor job at Liverpool. I hope to goodness it's the Rodgers from Swansea that we see and not the Rodgers from Liverpool.
It always looked to me when I saw Liverpool play that he couldn't sort out their defence, if he struggles to sort out our defence then we are going to be in trouble.

Howling old bhoy.... Great comment about the hills and bartons. Lol. I agree with u totally about a bit of experience being needed, but I think we will come good and fans will be happy. It might be blind optimism, but I hope I'm right HH
