I don’t care what we spend as long as we get the right guys, I’ll be surprised if we go above £7m for anyone. We’ll surely put together a better window than the last couple. 5 in and at least that out. The keeper situation should be sorted given the time we’ve had but if the policy is wait and see then it’ll be another shambles.

I'm the same, the fee is not important. All I want is to have a good team for next year that will dominate domestically and not embarrass us on the European stage.
If we can do that by spending less great. If we need to spend big, then so be it.

Kyogo was half the price of eduiard. And has a better ratio per game. So it's right player not price.

We keep, on talking about disastrous windows, in my opinion we don’t have a disastrous window unless it is followed by a season with nothing won and no excuse for blank season. Only 1 of our last 13 season had us winning nothing and that was the season with nobody at matches .
It’s reasonable to call many of the 30 windows in our last 15 windows poor and not good enough but the most important thing that us fans should tie down is that we should have members of the Board meeting with representatives of fans and tieing down the football ambitions of the club . is the club aiming solely for domestic dominance with little or no interest in European success . if so Board must feel quite smug and self satisfied.
Or is club chasing as much European success as possible, regularly beating big clubs from top 5 leagues and elsewhere with domestic success a by-product of our team building whilst striving for European success.
We need to know where the club’s priorities are, can us fans reconcile our ambitions with the Boards .
Most important before constant ranting about Board, is to know we are on one team sheet. Fans I think have the same ambition every season without changing any approach.

Des if it had not been for an agent calling Brendan Rodgers at the end of the January window we would have lost the league. To me that is clearly a failed transfer window.
5.) 22 Jun 2024 15:50:47
Excuse the daft question weejoe but what phone call to BR was that?
6.) 22 Jun 2024 16:30:23
Joe, as with most clubs Celtic have a team of players performing on the pitch and that team is formed by a team off the pitch who collectively create the playing squad to perform on the pitch . Brendan Rodgers had already told us he had the last word on who should our playing squad .
It could have been any of our scouts who could have recommended Idah as a striker who would be of benefit, and we would still have been told that he wasn’t good enough and our Board would have been accused of signing cheap option and not Sidney Van Hooijdonk who as big Pierre’s must have been far better option, according to many fans .
Joe, in didn’t matter who amongst football management/ recruitment staff was involved as long as the right man was got .
“If it wasn’t for”can change many a bad outcome into a positive out come and if “it wasn’t for”has got disastrous windows into fair windows.

Weejoe- like many on here, why is it hard to accept we won the league rather than them losing it? Maybe the agent that offered Idah helped a bit but we were seconds away from anither green and whitewash and as usual the serial bottle crashers were never holding their nerves in front of fans. We upped our game when our big players were available and romped home in style. They didn't lose it. We won it.

Last season’s double was hard won . Starting internally we had long lasting injuries to 3 of our very best players . We unexpectedly loss players on transfer in last summer’s window and January . Even some of our own fans spent most season telling team and manager they were not good enough . BR was a has been and that wasn’t coming from Ibrox fans. Everything we achieved, we as a club had to work hard for it
Rangers2012 with a new manager with the mercurial touch were winning every game and creating world record penalties not conceded and in penalties obtained. Sevco could do everything with so much ease, except beat Celtic . Rangers2012 came, saw, and couldn’t match Celtic.
9.) 22 Jun 2024 23:21:32
@9iar Rodgers received a phonecall from idahs agent right at end of window to inform Brendan that he was available.
If we had not gotten that call I don't think we would have won the league.
Any team who wins the league deserves to win. However, we made it extremely hard for ourselves with two disastrous transfer windows and the banning of fans.
Recruitment is one of the most important aspects in a club and it is vital we don't have a 3rd disaster.
10.) 24 Jun 2024 12:16:01
Weejoe There must have been considerable contact between Celtic people involved in bringing new players and Norwich management, as there was no way the agent happened to get up on morning at end of window and tell Celtic there was a striker ready to head up to Scotland and score a barrow full of goals . i think there must have been prolonged talks preparing for Idah’s coming.

Lucky for me I have never felt embarrassed by how Celtic performed in Champions League . Don’t get me wrong, I have often been extremely disappointed, especially with the bloody awful display and performance by J Stein and players on our. 2nd European Cup in 1970.
I have been embarrassed by how stupid I was to believe the total lies that K Tierney repeated so often about how wonderful a Celt he was . I believed he was such a wonderful Celt he couldn’t leave us and would retire as a Celt .
I. Was stupid enough to argue that with many Irish Celtic fans and embarrassed my self.

We’re not playing well yet. Yang needs to come off. I thought Palma and Forrest might’ve started. McGregor doesn’t look sharp either. Needs to be better 2nd half.
20 Jan 2024 07:22:48
If Girona have offered the reported money, €17m, then they’re not far away. I don’t know if there’s any truth in it but I know the board will accept far less than the fans would.
1.) 20 Jan 2024 07:56:40
The Board has no interest in selling M O’R . He will be going nowhere this window as he is happy playing for Celtic under BR.
2.) 20 Jan 2024 08:19:18
For all of PLs faults, I'd say he's historically got great deals for players who leave.
3.) 20 Jan 2024 09:14:06
And why is this got anything to do with PL.
4.) 20 Jan 2024 09:14:52
Lawwell isn't the CEO anymore though.
08 Jan 2024 16:10:38
I’m glad we’re not getting McKenna, he’s probably not good enough. We have to buy guys better than what we have and there’s still loads of scope for that in the squad.
10 Jun 2024 10:46:12
I’m bored stupid with all the ex-player links. I hope it’s just lazy journalism.
06 Jun 2024 13:39:12
I can confirm that I’ve heard that rumour too?.
31 Jan 2024 12:37:40
That’s another big disappointment. Hatate is probably our best player. Now Barry Robson has been sacked we might have a real tough game on Saturday.
17 Jan 2024 07:48:26
CCV is class and he’s a good age. Unless it’s loads of money we should be trying to keep him. It’s very unlikely we’d replace him with someone just as good or better.
19 Jun 2024 07:04:43
Who is Wright?
10 Jun 2024 10:50:05
No idea why people think McKenna would be good for us. He’s slow and clumsy.
31 Mar 2024 13:05:13
Absolute joke.
29 Jan 2024 22:09:19
Well harsh on Mooy, he took a while to get going but he had a spell last season where he was an important player. He wouldn’t play this season but the question is are we better off now. Jota was better than what Palma has shown so far, I can’t believe anyone would argue otherwise, we badly miss Hatate and need to raise the level of the squad. Guys like Holm and Nawrocki still have a future but we need to buy a guy that’s the best player in the league, show some ambition.
{Ed007's Note - Mooy took a while to get going and had a spell........ he wasn't even her for a calendar year, I've no idea what "spell" he had where he was an important player, nobody moaned when he wasn't playing and I could prove it in the live chats that nobody was over the moon when he did play.
Again, the revisionism by Celtic fans is astounding.}
