The news from BR today is very disappointing he's being banging on about how important this window is for players to settle in for the early qualifiers but he's signing players on 6 months loans, the defence is still not sorted his statement today about if he signs a quality CB he would have to play him is laughable, A thought we would have learned our lesson the last window there just seems there's no strategy just quick fixes, rant over lol 🍀.

Thanks for sharing your views on that Mr Traynor.

I think the fact we have Lustig, Ralston, Gamboa, Boyata, Simunovic, Ajer, Benkovic, (Compper) , Hendry, Izzy, Miller, KT and even Bitton still on the books makes the case to add very difficult/ complicated.
I'm sure if we were able to offload at least four of this 'team' of defenders in this window it might change things?
Boyata seems to be staying until summer and that is also a factor.

COYBIG why u calling the guy Mr Traynor for being 100% correct! Brendan’s comments on bringing in a centre half will be difficult because he would want to play is one of the most idiotic statements I’ve ever heard! So u don’t want to sign a centre half because he’ll want to play but the rat that is boyata who doesn’t want to be here is ok!

Our transfer strategy is utterly farcical and to hear our manager say he can’t wait to see how 2 players who will be here for 4 months! Yes 4 not 6 as he says, develop is embarrassing! And now the only player we’ve spent money on is a project player who’s not ready yet at the age of 22! This window has started how the last one ended and that’s abysmal! We’re not getting a centre half, and still no sign of the RB we’ve been crying out for! Shocking!

Get boyata out and bring someone else in, anyone who doesn't want to play for us can get.

CH15 cos it’s the same pish I see day in/ day out on here and in the Scottish press. We’ve got the best defence in Scotland by a mile, all of whom are internationalists, including two who played in the last 8 of the World Cup. The fact that three of them might (and it’s only a might) be leaving is something for the club to manage and they will. Boyata’s is under contract until the summer and should we choose not to play him, we will still have to pay his wages. Not good management in my book.

Thankfully BR is managing the situation very well getting the best out of a player in the final months of his contract. The fact that there is no option to buy in the loan contracts doesn’t necessarily mean that the loans will end in the summer. It’s possible that they have been brought in to get us over the line this season but I doubt that very much. I’d like to think in both situations, the clubs have said let’s set the deals up for the rest of the season and see how it goes after that.

Above all we’ve got a largely young team who have won 7 trophies on the trot and we’re holding onto most of our key players and continually I’m reading posts from wannabe football managers who know feck all about running a club that we’re a shambles in the transfer market, we’re going backwards, we’re not investing and I find it really tedious.

I watched Celtic when it was run by Jack McGinn and we did have problems then. We also had them when Alan McDonald was running the club and criticism in these eras was justified. Today it is not. The club is possibly in s better place than it’s ever been so when I read posts like this I have to question their motivation. Is it just misguided nonsense or calculated mischief making. Either way, it’s a load of pish.

I'm sorry no real supporter of a club should be referring to players as RATs. you can be dissapointed with his actions maybe even dislike him for this but nobody imo should be referring to anyone of a team they support as vermin. John Flanagan now that is a rat.

Completely agree with you Kwaj. I’ve made no secret of my opinion that players who choose to leave the club should be gone forever and, like many others, I have been disappointed by Boyata’s behaviour at times. However, he’s still at the club and while he remains, I’ll give him my backing and encouragement and if he chooses to stay, I’ll continue to give him that support. I’m also aware that most of the reports of what Boyata has allegedly said and done has come from the Scottish media in whom I have no trust whatsoever.
