    Need to be quality , quality additions that are better than what we have currently. I don't care if we have "good" number 10s or "good" wingers , or enough numbers in those areas . We need to move up a level, get the chequebook out .

    We absolutely won't sign another LB after signing two in the summer. And also having Hayes in the squad. A striker is a must and will in all likelihood happen. We won't sign a playmaker/no 10 as Lennon will believe any of Christie, Rogic or N'tcham can fill that role. Doubt we'll sign a winger, although I agree we could do with one.Someone who can play left or right and would be a first team starter would be ideal.
    I believe we will get a striker and a central midfielder. They have to be first team ready and good to go. Has the time come for our midfield to evolve? I'm not making any knee * reactions. Just asking.

    We need to offload guys like Henry, Bayo, Sinclair, Shyved, Kuoassi to name a few. They aren't making any impact at all. Free up the wage bill. Freshen up the team.

    Really don't see need for a left back, just start playing Taylor, he has impressed me what little I have seen of him.
    A striker that will hit the ground running has got to be number 1 priority.
    I could see Ely in that No 10 role, has got the brain & vision for it.

    We need to trim the squad. Too much * hanging around. Then make 2 or 3 signings with one being a statement signing if possible.

    Please no more * Burke type loans

    2-3 Proper serious qaulity additions, we don't need a lot.

    Pie in sky would be a new striker who'd legit be able to challenge Eddie, Wanyama and then a perm signing at CB similar to Benko (simply because I don't want 2 of the 3 signings to be loans)

    Got to pull out all the stops to get Wanyama back, even if it’s just until the summer

    We need to spend big on a striker that can play alongside edoaurd. We need a defensive mid and I'd like a big big established type player on loan, another elyounoussi that is a attacking mid/right wing.

    It’s unforgivable that we were pumping these * 5-1 home and away + 4-0 at Hampden two seasons ago AND we’re now trailing behind them in certain aspects...

    The board NEED to spend BIG in January to get the right players. Get Wanyama and Sporar in 1st week in Jan and then go from there.

    Benkovic
    Wanyama
    Sporar

    Would be ideal. Really need a goalscoring striker and a midfield destroyer to play in front of the defense. They got in around our CBs far too easily yesterday.

    Need first team players better than what we already have no loans because this is the only chance we will get to improve the team before champions league qualifiers don't want a repeat of the cluj debacle

    This. Would also love a lb and someone to challenge Forrest but I realise Celtic don’t ever operate like that so be delighted with the 3 above and the deadwood out

    When was the last time anyone saw wanyama play a game of football?
    Hes been so far out of the picture for so long hes probably regressed.

    Might take a few weeks to get up to speed and we absolutely dont have that luxury now.
    Dont think we really need a dm that much tbh, if we do its one who will be broony's long term replacement and not a short term loan.
    If we were to bring in a mid I'd rather it was a number 10 type.

    It's a reaction to yesterday. Boili was poor and there's not great confidence that Taylor with be the left back version of frimpong or el-ham

    Move frimpong over to left back to try
