Okay so Brendan has spoken about his frustration about not bringing in qaulity players. Again I can completely agree with Brendan, the board haven’t backed him they way they should have simple as that and if I was BR then I’d be fuming with everything I’ve done for the club, the board for me are cheep skates that hate digging into there pockets when the push comes to shove even when we’ve made tons of millions from champions league money, league title wins, player sales, sponsorships etc. It’s simply not good enough from the board. But on a different note now we’re actually getting linked with impressive names and players, if we sign the following then this could really end of a bad transfer window to a phenomenal one!

- Patrick Roberts £ Permeant
- Emilo Izzagurrie £ Permeant
- Jason Denayer £ Permeant / Loan
- Pedro Chirivella £ Permeant
- Daniel Arazani £ Loan / 2 Years
- John Mcginn £ Permeant

& if we managed to get mcginn that would be a huge bonus as like I’ve said in the past he’d have been my number 1 target and now that another club is in for him we really should just play what there asking. Jus felt it be a good time to post on my opinion on the boards transfer window dealings and Brendan’s comments at the press conference. here’s hoping we sign at least half of these players as it would be fantastic and a sign the board are finally getting there finger out.

Don't want Denayer back, firstly never rated him that highly in his spell here and was carried by Van Dijk, secondly if he comes in It's not that he really wants to be here more nobody else wanted him.

Yeah not Denayer for me either. Thought he was lazy anyway can take his 70%% and play elsewhere. Don't think he would get upto standards to get into team as he would need to give 100% and be fit enough to simply train with first team. If he did up his game though?

Everybody knows what Denayer said when he left. But, he was a 19 boy, and I think, when we we were all 19 did we never make an arse of things. Let’s move on, hope he has grown up and if he does the business then out it down to his lack of experience. Show me a man who hasn’t as s young guy said something we regret. Whether he is the best we could get is up for debate. That he can play us not. One good thing about the whole sorry situation I am hoping for is s change of the mindset of the board.

Brendan has took us to a different level, the board need to trust him to take us further by moving quickly to try and get him what he needs when he needs it. My fear was that he would leave which would have had the support enraged.

Our penchant as a club for stalking when we are in too has been the biggest frustration for me as a Celtic fan and I know I am not alone there. Hopefully a penny has dropped and we look at spending money as an investment we will recoup through CL qualification. We develop these players and sell them in eventually for more than we spend and at the same time out more weight in the boot we have firmly placed on the neck of our friends across the city.

Those of us who lived through the, you put down a fiver jibe, have waited to exact a terrible vengeance on them. We are at a point where another couple of CL qualifications will leave them floundering forever. If we become more competitive in the CL then at home our dominance only increases. Our second team could win the league here, a team that is capable of putting up a good show on the biggest stage cements that.

We have a tough game tonight and next week. We all know our lads will give it their all. Hopefully we have enough even without the players Brendan wanted. I think we will, we have made it more difficult than it should have been, and I’m confident in the future after this period we won’t do that again. The stakes are too high. Good luck to our Bhoys tonight, we are all behind them and our manager. COYBIG.

Denayer did not get player of the year by being lazy. He is a very good player who complimented VVD as much as VVD did him. A very good partnership. I couldn't care less what he said about Scottish football i'm sure we all said the same at some point. The media didn't print all the good he said about Celtic when he left or when he was linked with the club at Xmas time.

I really couldn’t care less what Denayer said, he was 19 and was probably got carried away in the movement, I’m 18 myself and I’m never done making mistakes when saying things when asked lol, it’s just the part off growing up, and since then I’m sure he has a lot off positive things to say about Celtic but that doesn’t get mentioned. Again you can’t discredit his talent. He was a great CB when he was with us and him and VVD make a brilliant partnership together. If we sign him al be more than happy and hopefully on a Permeant Of maybe £3-5 million.

{Ed007's Note - He was 21/22 when he said Scottish football was too easy and that he enjoyed playing for Galatasaray more than he did for Celtic.
Do you think he's changed his mind about Celtic and Scotland, considering his agent has been trying to get him a move back to Turkey (preferably Gala) all summer, because I don't.}

Denayer is the type of signing I see as pointless. Is he better than what we've got? Boyota made the Belgian WC squad, Denayer was nowhere near it. Are we short of Centre backs? No. Out of the list above would take Roberts and McGinn . A fully fit Roberts improves us and McGinn would be great replacement for Armstrong. As for the Australian lad coming on loan no harm might be a gem. Don't know much about the Spaniard.

Magic me and you don't agree on a lot but you just hit the nail on the head with denayer
He was a young lad and if we held every stupid comment against young guys we'd have no players.
He has also went away and got experience at a good level.
He knows our club and will settle quickly.
Whether he is better than our first choice CBs is up for debate but he would definitely make the squad better.

I am not totally convinced he is the best we could get either. I am willing to let go his comments though and they pissed me off too, so I understand those who can’t. I just hope he has improved as a player and grown up a bit. It’s still just a rumour though, so same rules apply for me regarding any player mentioned.

At least we are talking about bolstering the defence, that’s a good step. Be happy to see wee Izzy back to to cover KT if that happens.

{Ed007's Note - Really, Deanayer and Izzy and you're happy after the moaning you've done for months about the defence? If that's the best players our scouts are coming up with we're needing to gut the scouting department, both moves stink of desperation and it's just boosting squad numbers again, apart from the McGinn deal the whole window is starting to stink of Lawwell and his Man City connection again.
A young Australian that City asked us to take and who has been described by his manager at Melbourne City of having "bad habits" and "needing strong coaches around him", he'll also will need to work on his physique before he gets near the first team, and now Roberts and Denayer, 2 players City have no use for and can't get rid of.
No worries, just get Mark to phone his dad at Celtic.}

Dont think i would take deynayer back to be honest. he played alongside the highest paid defender in the world. few times when VVD wasnt playing alongside him he looked lost. he was rank rotten at sunderland. can't say how he done at galatasary but you would imagine of he played well enough tbey would snap him up.

I’m not happy with the players coming in. Happy would be better players. Better than what we have in reserve, yes. I have given up hoping for class players. It only leads to greater dissapointment. Class players cost money, we don’t spend money, so, Denayer is better than Jozo, Hendry. Izzy is better than anything we have at LB.

I seriously can’t believe that since Jan window that’s the best we can come up with. But as I said, we do things on the cheap. Always have, always will.

I also realise that on the whole, Rogers has signed 20 players and three get a game, so piss poor by him and his team. I thought with only 3 needed he might improve on that, not much it seems, but as I said better than what we have.

Our defence is rubbish, it’s now hopefully less rubbish, but will still get our arses handed to us in the CL. If we make it that is. If we sell Boyata we need another CB, hopefully spend whatever we get to replace him. And if anybody believes that they need treatment.

Our scouts have obviously failed their badges if this is the best we can do, that’s Celtic down to a tee. McGinn should be signed and three quality defenders. We have none and Deneyer isn’t even confirmed. I hope we get better than him, but if it is him hopefully he has improved.
