This window is massive. I'm not surprised we're taking our time. We need-
2 GKs at least 1 better than super Joe
1 RB better than AJ
1 LB better than GT
2 CB to be first choice pairing
1 midfield general better than Cal
1 midfielder that can last 90 mins unlike Reo
2 Midfield replacements for turnbull/ bernardo/ fingers crossed also Iwata (offers zilch)
1 LW better than Palma
1 RW better than Kuhn
2 strikers to compete with Kyogo
That's 14 players just to move our squad in a progressive direction. The task BR faces is massive. Let's not be kidded.
If anyone disagrees please comment.

You’re basically wanting a better player in every single position in the Celtic team and a few better subs added in for good measure.
Our fans need to be realistic.
I would be happy with 5 signings competing for a regular start in the team.

All we need is a goalkeeper who is an improvement on big Joe, which won't be hard, a centre back partner for CCV, a midfielder to add some bite and creativity in midfield, and Miovski up front to partner Kyogo in a two upfront formation.

Agree with you Buzz.
5 first team ready players (better than we currently have in the starting 11) would be a very good window and nothing less than BR and the supporters deserve.
If this took place then we should then aim for 2 first team ready players each summer window.
There are out of contract players available that we can afford who would improve our starting 11.
Given the cash reserves we have banked and the funds that will be generated with player sales, this is the window to move the team forward.
Time will tell.

Buzz - you say you'd be happy with 5 new players? If that includes replacements for Hart, Idah and Bernardo then you're only getting 2 other new players. We've lost 2 GKs, 2 midfielders (including turnbull) and looks like 2 strikers (oh and idah). That's 6 players just to STAND STILL.
Everyone of us on here knows only CCV is good enough (well maybe not Ed), so at LEAST 1 CB needs to come in. That's 7. We have 38 league games, 8 CL games and hopefully 2 cup finals to play, so if we think we are going the distance with Kuhn, Palma, Jamsey and Yang then expectation is really low.
Only maeda of our wide men may be deemed even close to be good enough. 2 new wingers are a must. That's 9. Top this off with a real quality midfielder to make 10 and IMO that barely moves us forward. It's a step in right direction then win a treble and then add the 3-5 real quality next year. If we want better FBs then it's 12.
