    That's the problem, if we'd have lost Edouard back to PSG and then gone and shelled out 9m on some random striker it would've been much more exciting. It's almost hard to remember that we have broken our transfer record for the first time in 17 years odd. Plus we have signed a boy permanently that Brendan knows has the right attitude, can settle, produce the goods and improve vastly.

    If we buy another couple of players for 3-4m then i'll be happy with that - much improved spending considering we haven't sold any key players (Armstrong for 7m i think everyone was happy with). Problem is if Dembele or Tierney goes. Then they'll have to go big again.

    * 6 weeks to go to the window closes! Still the best squad in Scotland by a mile notice all the * slagging the players and trying to make a deal of it where have you been since April:fear:

    Not really when it’s the same every year.

    Let’s leave the hissy fits until the end.:56:

    Wait until 1st September then we can have a right good moan! As always Celtic will be prudent cause we have £40m in the bank doesn’t mean we * it up against the wall, would I like a few more signings in Aye we all would but Brendan has said quality over quantity!

    What you have to ask yourself is there any other player been signed in Scotland you would have went for or improved our first team or squad? Answer for me No!

    Get the point you're making but think our club look at a higher level than just Scotland. Can't really compare our aspirations to the rest of Scotland's currently

    Aye what am saying is would any player who has signed for a Scottish club to date improve our team and I agree with you if we are looking at guys at a higher level most of them are just back in preseason with their clubs this week.

    That defence has needed sorted since Brendan came in, this lottery of going into the qualifying with it not sorted is going to eventually cost us.

    We signed Edouard for 9m as our first signing of the summer at start of window , be interesting to see what we back that statement up with in the coming weeks hope it's worth the wait!

    No doubt Gyp won’t disagree with you on that one

    I’m not moaning at all..

    @Notorious obviously posted that from when a time it may have been justified..

    Why post it? It’s obvious pre-BR.. PL hasn’t always gotten it right Ronny is testament to that..

    The thread is premature..

    But Tbf the defence hasn’t been properly addressed by BR, so I get the concern..

    Defence will be fine once Boyata and Lustig are both back, Ajer and Hendry are improving constantly. Even then we might bring in someone else. It's hard to bring in a CB that'll significantly improve us with the budget we have, we'll have to take a gamble who might just end up like Sviatchenko and end up being a waste money. We can't just sign someone for the sake of it, they have to be right person for the right price.
