    Last season we needed cover/rival for Lustig but still had Gamboa and brought in Toljan

    This season we've lost Lustig, Gamboa and Toljan and not replaced one of them yet

    Couldn't write it

    So you are suggesting that because money is being spent, people shouldnt be critical?
    Would you suggest that it looks like good value for money, all things considered?

    Id say there is better value in other markets. Scandanavia, eastern europe, USA, Ireland.

    You are trying to argue or associate about three or four separate points. Who even decides market value? Naturally people would bemoan selling a player for less than their perceived worth.

    They cost more due to inflation, but even more than that when bought from a market with a level of inflation which surpasses most other leagues. Its basic economics.

    Aye mate just keep paying money for players like Comperr, put them on huge wages and they can sit on the bench and cripple our wage bill. Who gives a * about due diligence, it just sits in the bank.

    This is why I don't watch football outside of Celtic and Scotland anymore. Players choosing mediocrity over grandeur for a few extra quid when no doubt he would have got 30k a week here. Moan about players like Sinclair but at least he wanted to end his career with medals

    No mate due diligence is spotting a player you want and bid the appropriate amount so we don't keep getting outbid. If the player is worth 4 then * pay it and stop pricking about with low ball offers that will be either rejected, matched or outbid..

    Celtic Star are reporting we matched the £4million bid from Stoke but Smith wouldn't agree terms.

    Not that i really trust what Celtic star say, but im pretty sure the trick is that we bid the amount the club want early and then talk to the player early so he signs for us early instead of pandering about over * all like we always seem to do and then lose out on a player * about over money, if Lennon wants these players then * spend the money ffs its not as if we are skint and we surely to * aint signing the likes of Tommy Smith to get any sell on value.

    £4m seemed a bit steep anyway.

    There's a whole world of right backs out there Celtic. Get these overpriced English ones to *.

    Hopefully a bullet dodged at that price..

    Would've been good to get him in. Moreso because we just need any right back but definitely better on the continent man we just need to branch out..

    Moral of the story is? don't * shop in England!.

    Inferior players for over inflated prices & wages to still miss out on them once were used to stir up interest.

    We need to go in and start matching valuations or walking away if not in out budget, the kind of signings that come out the blue because we get it done quickly.

    At this rate we will end up with Ajer RB this season with Jullien and Jozo at CB.

    After doing so well initially with transfers it seems we have reverted back to old ways.
