    The wage bill has gone UP. It's in the report. * sake.

    :56:

    Aye we can afford top quality. It was the Eiffel Tower that swung it for Neymar in the summer there. Watching Junkies zonked out in Kelvingrove park just wasn't enough to swing it.

    @Senna s1979 @littlekennie the wage bill in the 2017 account had gone up but as you highlight Commons, toure and Ambrose where on a suspected £60k a week between them plus bonuses for the unbeaten season would have been higher and for winning the treble won’t see how the expenditure has decreased for the full season until September but I would expect it to go down

    Don't have to be neymar to be a top player in spfl and make a dent In champions league group stages or europa league players of ntcham sinclair dembele mould it's achievable ... Top players who careers got lost and want to r establish themselves and gifted players who are looking for a shot and game time find celtic attractive.

    Yeh that's what I was meaning by Brendan reducing it trying to combat the point where he was saying we are relying on champions league funds we don't the only reason wage bill was high was because the pierod of transition and players refusing to move on ..... Brendan needed more time to lower it and he's working to get it back down to levels of seasons before

    The wage bill would have been overinflated due to all the bonuses that’s the only way it could have jumped as much as it did.

    Celtic contracts are supposed to be heavily incentivised.

    The thing * me off most is that not only is there a month to do business but the scouts are obviously compiling reports throughout the season to highlight players with that "bit of quality".Now i know they might not be available for whatever reason,but surely we must be looking to get at least one or two of our targets even if its out of 5-10 options.And i know theres still plenty time left but we always seem to leave it late and hit out with we tried.

    Davis quotes about Dembele leaving in January must mean there are serious investment in this window.

    Add that fee to VVD money and the revenue from champions league, we have to be looking at bringing in two or maybe three first team players.

    Brendan can really put his stamp on the team.

    We have the added carrot of still being in the europa league.

    Interesting last week or so!!

    We could still win the scottish cup with Griffiths as our forward and the Europa ties with Zenit. If we Strengthen other areas of the team with Moussa's Departure.

    RB
    CB
    NO.10/Winger
    and Striker (last).

    I'd rather he stayed but if we can manage to get close to 25 with some future clauses I think that'd do. Good chance for the board to let Brendan put a real stamp on the side as has been mentioned with even 10 mill of it. Almost Lenny with McGeady-esque..

    A striker, playmaker/winger and defender comfortable across the back 4 would be ideal. A keeper as well but I feel we'll address that department in the summer..

    What I don't want is for this to drag till the last day either way as even though the money gets silly on deadline day, we want to get bodies out before and quality in before all that..

    Stoke were interested in him while Hughes was in charge.

    With lambert now in, I can see stoke bidding for dembele. But I can see it being between 15-20m

    Hopefully we've had potential replacements for Dembele lined up just in case he was to be off, pretty * to be losing your best striker half way through the season, griffiths has been off form for a while and seems to be picking up niggling injuries constantly and not convinced by Edouard yet.

    Dembele probably be sold 5 mins before the end of the window then will have to listen to we hadn't time to get a replacement in. A deadline day swoop for jack hendry and a loan to develop some other * players. all this talk about how hard it is get players in January doesn't seem to affect any of the clubs buying off us
    I do hope I'm wrong but going by the last * knows how many transfer windows I can't help but feel pessimistic
