Guys, bredan always said when asked last year that they would be 2 or 3 players max brought in this summer, we have JH so far. He also said that the players had to be for the first team and bedded in during pre season. Peter Liewell is selling him short.

Pre season started this week. You'd do know that negotiations take time?

They've been back at work 3 days man, calm the beans.

Look at the mess across the city - they are salivating because Mike Ashley is only taking half their merchandise sales for the next year.

I'd have Lawwell over any of the Chief Execs in Scotland any day of the week.

I don't think the board will scrimp this summer. The team is in a good place, only quality improvements on those on their way out are needed. Much prefer this approach than panicking and splashing out like the early 2000s.

Dafabet, I thought it was Rangers fans who because they were green with envy called our CEO. MR Liewell.

With all the goodwill in the world we cannot make players sign to suit our time-scale.

Chris, tell me one thing I have said in the above posts are not true.

I agree with Dafabet, pre season started and only Hayes signed, poor stuff. Rodgers said wanted 3 quality signings in for pre season, I would of thought some homework would of been done and had them lined up a while back, hopefully I'm wrong but the usual traditions at celtic being sold short.

Airs not always a matter of true or untrue . Sometimes buying a footballer is more complicated than buying a loaf .
Surely it's more important that Brendan gets the players he wants than signing any Tom, Dick or Harry to suit u.

Number 1 target is Roberts, no question. If we don't get him it will sting but I'd rather the time and effort was put in there before we gave up and signed Januzaj or such on a big contract, with no guarantee of success.

I'd say there are 6 scenarios we are looking at this window:

1. Qualify for groups, sell Dembelé, VVD moves
2. Fail to qualify, sell Dembelé, VVD moves
3. Qualify for groups, keep Dembelé, VVD moves
4. Fail to qualify, keep Dembelé, VVD moves
5. Qualify for groups, sell Dembelé, VVD stays
6. Fail to qualify, keep Dembelé, VVD stays

We don't know the outcomes for either of these 3 situations, and I guarantee you there's planned targets for for each outcome.

We shouldn't panic unless Paddy signs elsewhere and there's no plan B.

@chris how do we know Brendan isn't missing out on players he wants? He says he wants brown and Armstrong signed up but they aren't yet. i don't want Celtic to do what we've all seen before resting on our laurels we should be pushing forward not standing still or even going backwards. If we don't voice our concerns about our lack of progress then don't go bleating if we don't reach champions league or players leave for nothing.

Honest mistake . You are right Roberts should be our number 1 target
However I hope the club don't put all their eggs in the Roberts basket . We need to be working on and signing other priority targets and at the same time keep letting those that matter we are interested in Roberts .
We cannot guarantee that we can sign guarantee that we will sign Roberts, sometimes a player can be out of our reach.
