Apparently Brendan Rodgers, gave a list of requirements in May to the board, that he felt would have helped Celtic go to another level. He asked for Edouard on a permanent deal ( done ) Rogic same thing ( done ) . Three new sigings where identified, Cristiano Piccini ( Right back ) £7 million. Fabian Schar ( centre back ) £3 million John Mcginn £2- £3 million ( was as Rodgers said to be a progressive signing. And supposedly all three players at one point indicated their willingness to come. But the board dithering on each occasion . Player sales would have covered a good part of the financial outlay ( Armstrong and Boyata as well if Schar came in ) .

If your info is genuine, first hand and accurate, I can see the sense in the post. On McGinn, did he not fancy the challenge of winning a place in the team as reported and gossiped? One fact we do know is we matched the offer, so he went to Villa for more money or a guaranteed start, hardly the action of a Celtic fan with a chance of wearing the shirt?

Schar i first heard of on here, never seen him linked officially but a good player with a solid WC behind him. Maybe he was approached but waited till after the WC for better options, and that's what he got.

Never heard of the other guy, so no comment.

What really needs to happen here is someone has to come clean. We have been sold on the idea we have a manager who can deliver what we want. Up until this transfer window he has done exactly that. If promises were made and renegade, tell us. If the reasoning is sound i would be sure we could accept it.

One more thing, to the people who still equate what we do with the team from Govan, stop it. What they spend who cares? The only way they affect us if the CB's they bought are decent, because if they are Congerton needs to answer some questions given we are looking for one. Y'know what he needs to answer some questions anyway.

Apparently?

See all this nonsense about blaming McGinn, why should he have chosen us? just because he is a Celtic fan.

He was in Birmingham before we matched the bid, Aston Villa showed a more serious interest.

As a footballer you would respect that a lot more. I'd pick the team who wanted me the most.

I agree tesla this Celtic fan nonsense is a lot of pish. He's got to think of himself first as would 99% of people would do. What was he supposed to do sit about and hope we came back in? He could be playing in the premiership next season maybe sooner if he does well for villa earning a lot more than he's on now.

The story about McGinn mirrors the one with Jackie McNamara same board same story.

Nothing to do with not wanting to wear the shirt, John saw Lawwell messing about that much over money that he simply went where he felt wanted.

Football is all about opinions, and in my opinion midfield is where matches are won and lost. I feel missing out on Mcginn is a real body blow. Turning up to hard away ties, ibrox, pittodrie, tyncastle etc with a midfield of say Brown, Ntcham, McGregor, Rogic, Mcginn, would have made us so very hard to beat in the spfl. Especially with the drive both Mcginn and Brown poccess.
