Not quite panicking but becoming slightly concerned with the pace of our transfer business. I'm in the camp that we remain weaker than last season, with departures and declining gk.

Of the arrivals to date I think only Rocky is a genuine starter. The rest will have to prove themselves. Granted the swede is coming in, however that was out of necessity with CS leaving, and he will likely be backup.

Would like to see BR stamping his authority with 2-3 quality additions that can walk into the 1st team and improve us, particularly with CL in mind, where will will be punished big time.

We can't ignore the challenges facing us and I'd hate for us to become complacent. The majority of arrivals to date don't excite me and don't seem to be BR's.

A good and accurate post Steady.

If this transfer window has a underwhelming conclusion in 3 weeks time,
What is the outcome?

What role does our new Chairman have to play in a downsizing transfer window?

It's similar windows, we seen when Peter Lawell was more involved with Celtic.

It's looking more like, keeping the shareholders happy with bigger dividends, Again.

I think that post relates to how a lot of us see things at present.

Ange was promised things Brendan wasn’t Brendan wants to put himself back in pl shop window again and he knew Celtic would set him in good stead rodgers is a yes man and Peter lawell is still having a say in where money is spent.

I’m still not to worried about marquee signings just yet. I don’t think we got Jota and ccv until late on in Anges first transfer window and they are up there with the best we go in from him.

The only transfer, that is needed, and has been for a long time, is a new goalkeeper.

For the greater part of last season at least Hart. was was one of our most consistent performers and the stats back that up . at the end of season in meaningless games Hart was not his usual self . This followed through pre- season and last Sunday Hart was still shaky. BR needs to assess very quickly whether he needs upgrade on Hart and get new goalie, if needed quickly.
