When Abraham Lincoln said "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all of the time" he definitely wasn't thinking about Celtic supporters during a transfer window.
For me irrespective of who comes in or who goes out the fact that many of our more consistent players have signed extended contracts with most recently young Henderson and our Captain, coupled with the fact that young Dembele has entrusted his imediate future to us and hasn't followed the example of that great "disppearing talent" Feruz has all been a great bit of business for us. On top of that to hear Weah speak of us as a family and Burke want to extend his loan after only a couple of weeks gives an idea of the atmosphere in our "boyd-divided" locker room. I think it's not so easy to find players willing to come who are of the quality required and who will not only play well for the team but will also maintain the harmony which exists.
I really cannot see how we will fail to do a treble treble unless we have a one off bad game in the cup.

No I'm not Peter but I wouldn't be as big a critic of him as many on here. I look at the last three years and I see an invincible year, back to back trebles with a good chance of making it a treble treble this year and I think if Peter had released funds to sign Messi and Ronaldo and mayde to bring back Virgil would we honestly have won any more than that. Champions League, possibly, but then again if you look at PSG and the money they have spent does anyone really believe that you can buy the Champuons League.
In Brendan we trust but I also happen to trust the man who gave us Brendan even if that's not a popular position.

👏👏 great post don. Too many of our fans look at bank balances and expect more like you say what is more? Most successful side in me lifetime and see no way that’s not going to continue 🍀.

We have done ok in the transfer window . We have a couple in who are far better than we could buy . We have 7/ 8 players out injured, but have won al our January games easing up and usually v pleasing on eye .
I am happy enough with club actually spending very little as there is no point in the club spending £8-10m on a couple players we are not really sure we really want even if they are positions we want to fill, we cannot buy them until we have properly scouted them, short cuts in this department can lead to Commper .
We know it is easier to buy poor players than to move them on.
