    I would recall Jack Hendry at this rate!

    It’s gross negligence imo

    Fkn disheartening this man.
    I'm constantly checking for updates in work but nothing.
    We are 2 or 3 good players away from a having a decent European team and we are just sticking with prospects?

    If no one is signed tonight and the league even comes down to the last day, heads should roll.

    The more I sit here, the more angry I get. We should have had two in. A winger and a center back.

    I'm furious about how we're fed the same lines EVERY * window. We'll be fed the same lines when the clock strikes midnight tonight.

    "We tried but January is a hard time to recruit."

    * off. Everyone else seems to manage it

    I get all the talk about Lawwell having to go and heads rolling if we don’t win the league this season...

    .... but right now it’s all unimportant .. and (for me anyway ) will still be unimportant come end of May .. because it will be too late by then.

    Bottom line is we are supremely wealthy as Scottish football goes yet are so reluctant to use that wealth to our advantage...

    Projects snd players for ‘adding value’ are great over the medium to long term .... but it’s clear we need match ready known performers in a couple of key positions to just ‘insure’ against possible scenarios.

    The business model is all fine 99% of the time but this is that 1% moment when a bit of ‘over engineering’ is needed to guard against any possible crisis with our squad. All the more so when you consider our recent and ongoing injuries record.

    The most frustrating/ annoying / depressing part of it all is knowing that if investment isn’t forthcoming at a critical point of our most important season since 1988 ? (My view) ....

    .... then WHEN do Celtic Plc think IS the time to invest?

    (Maybe there’s a rabbit or two to be pulled from a hat before midnight so will remain ‘measured’ until then)

    @StevieBhoooy! people will counter your argument with well we have invested.

    to which is true to a degree but my counter argument is.

    we got £26.5m in from sales this season.

    took Boyata, lustig, Tierney, Sinclair, compper, Gamboa, de vries and a few others off the wage bill not to mention Rodgers and his staff all going. You can bet lenny ain’t on £50k a week!

    the players we have signed have totalled just over £20m.

    we already had £40m in the bank so not only have we not touched that yet again we have added to it most likely.

    I actually think now if Tierney hadn’t gone someone else would have been sacrificed.

    the fact that there isn’t a whiff of anyone leads me to think we will go with what we have.

    but a CB was crucial for me more critical than a winger!

    An injury or suspension to Jullien or Ajer and we are slap bang in trouble as lenny has said 4 games in 10 days is beyond jozo remit he cant do it he can only train every few days also!

    Such an underwhelming transfer window... .... So much for 2 in for Dubai, 3 or 4 players in, we want experience etc etc to then bring in 2 unknown 21 year olds (not saying they won't be good but there not the experienced players we need ) and neglect a much needed cd and a winger could cost us 9.... We needed to strengthen and we didn't... Typical *....

    Hardly think we're in such desperate times described by that plonker!

    For a start if it were THAT bad, I'm sure (for example) we could have just got a player off Dudu Dahan, instead of supposedly phoning round clubs like some sort of transfer window version of Oliver * Twist!

    Utter nonsense, and something I really don'g understand how these idiots get their kicks out of spouting such pish...

    Absolute disgrace if a first team ready centre back and winger don't come in

    I DO recall jack hendry, it's not pleasant. Still sends a shiver up my spine.

    I suppose a signing or 2 would prove him wrong but if we don't do that then we've underachieved this window in my opinion.

    Lennon wanted experience and we've signed 2 x 21 year olds.

    Our only fit LW is Hayes and we're short on CB cover too.

    As Lenny said you don’t really use wingers in a 3-5-2 :39:

    No idea mate.

    Last I seen was if Leicester got a CB in then us and a few other clubs were looking to get him.

    Seen us linked with that Atsu.

    237 games.
    22 goals.
    26 assists.

    Stats look very average for a 28 year old winger.
