    Well there is always Japanuary , our defence gives me the fear man the intensity to which ange plays as well there is no way we go a season without burnout and injuries, without adequate cover id say it’s almost guaranteed we will have a horrific spell in the season.

    Another one of their well rehearsed excuses.

    Replacing Christie with Jota is baffling in itself.. he's a out and out winger, and can't play right across the midfield.

    We need a CM in along with Jota.

    It’s shameful that we haven’t even announced the Greek forward yet, they are 100% stringing it alone right until the last minute and will parade him like a top signing.

    * shocking the way are run.

    Shambles absolute shambles

    Another smoke and mirrors job.

    Looks like Dom did learn something from April to July.

    £2.5m on the Greek boy - who was reportedly after £15k a week and we were haggling to get closer to £8k a week - as a replacement for the outgoing Eddie is a complete joke.

    So threadbare in the centre for energy now too. Rogic can't keep up with Leverkusen or Betis midfield.

    Disgusted at this lack of ambition. The huns will be loving it. Our 1st and 2nd top scorer of the 19/20 season out the door for £16m and we spend less than 1/6th of it on replacements. Hoaching.

    Supposedly Mohamed Bayo is in Glasgow. Huns think he's there for then.

    so covid losses are there for every club in the world the last season and a half so losses are written off

    why are we trying regain them losses by selling assets and not reinvesting it all in the team

    by cheap and hope for the best and waste money on loans

    we are definately looking at the huns not spending and so we arent!!! but forgetting that they won the league at a canter and have a full squad that was better than ours before we sold our best assets! how can they not see this ? we needed some marquee signings in big positions to replace the huge players we lost, these players werent great last season but they all in form would get into the hun team, would our replacements ???

    the continual downsize goes on

    Postecoglou will only ever be allowed half a team under this board of charlatans, thieves and crooks. Its the Celtic way. Disgraceful lack of signings. Gambling the direct champions league qualification spot, for short term pocketing.

    Not sure about it being a bigger problem but for sure defensive signings have been a problem this window

    It would actually be better to do that :fear: we don't really take into consideration that Ange doesn't know a lot about the players and is still finding things out. We know much more about the players than him having seen most of them for a long time.

    Like I think he actually likes Greg Taylor because in the games so far Taylor plays his tactics perfect, probably to him anyway. He's always in the right positions, he passes and moves well in those areas, he gets up and down the pitch tirelessly and a lot more than Ralston does, for every time Ralston goes up the park Taylor must do it 2 or 3 times. He probably sees limitations in Taylor but might think he will improve and become more fine tuned. We as fans have seen him for 2/3 year and know he's at his limit really.

    Someone like McCann from St Johnstone also our fans want now, he maybe hasn't seen him as the start of the season is hectic with travelling and games every 3 or 4 days and would rather watch him until January to see if he is ideal. He also spoke about players from Japan and it being easier to get them in January so he maybe has 1 or 2 guys lined up from there.

    We want everything done immediately without really thinking the manager doesn't have a good understanding of everyone yet even would want to delay things to get a better feel and see what he really needs.

    Come January he will likely have binned a few guys and have a few lined up to bring in.

    This is our most important transfer window EVER!!!
    There is no doubt the winners of this league with guaranteed champions league qualification, will kick on and dominate for years to come

    the way it is at the moment being so hard to qualify this year is just an incredible incentive

    * me pull something out of the bag

    again Rangers are gambling. They are keeping their squad in tact even though they are financial *
    But we have banked 15m this morning and won’t do anything
    It hurts

    all the executives are probably on target bonus related contracts so if they can make up the money lost in covid year and half they double their wages this year, its probably something like this

    that means they are actuallu incentivised to downgrade our playing staff going into a season with the huge champions league automatic qualification money at stake

    think about that for a second

    weve went cheap again, say half or a third of our new players dont meet expectations from the club or manager , welll weve only got ourselves to blame because we went so cheap in replacing undoubted quality again

    Unfortunately we could be lagging behind in the league and be out of the Europa by that time

    It's absolutely disgusting..

    Ange actually stuck up for them throughout almost this whole window, "working hard", "a few in over the coming day's" to "tough market", "being picky as I want quality in"..

    The only time he really * on them was when he said they were hesitating on deals week's ago..

    I knew we wouldn't replace Ajer. For some of his faults, he was an excellent player for us. Quality on the ball. Rapid. Leader type. Most of our attacks started with him..

    To then only bring in Starfelt though and no other, relying on Welsh (who has performed admirably) and the fall back of that * donkey Bitton, is beyond negligent..

    It took us how long to get a right back in? We just struck lucky that Ange worked a miracle with Ralston..

    We've been rolling along with a left back and more who aren't up to it, or completely surplus..

    We've been playing an extremely fast paced tempo with a midfield trio of Rogic and Turnbull. If you read those 2 name's back together as pair and think about it....it's utterly * mental, particularly with our volumes of game's..

    We then switched our makeshift left winger back in to the 8 position as Ange knew Rogic and Turnbull would get overrun in midfield against the Huns, then stuck a striker at left wing..

    We don't have a left winger and our own manager recognises that our left winger is much better in the middle. He didn't trust Turnbull and Rogic to go again as everyone knows it'll get cut to ribbons, like it did in Holland..

    Yet Christie is now off and still, still, no * centre mid has even been linked..

    Our defence is criminally short. Im speechless that we're looking at going month's with

    Juranovic, Ralston (fine)

    Welsh, Bitton (my)
    Starfelt, Scales (word)

    Taylor, Montgomery (farcical)

    We'll have 1 left winger in Jota and although I love Mikey, he's never fit..

    Our centre mid options will be McGregor as a 6, Turnbull and Rogic in the middle with the occasional introduction of Soro and McCarthy when up to speed. That is * scandalous and doesn't have the depth or leg's to go the course..

    Edouard had to go but replacing him only with the Greek, no good enough. Especially when you consider that other wee * Griffiths has just gone..

    We are miles, miles short on what we need..

    Rome wasn't gonna be built in a day and we've made good signings, but they don't get off with this. It's unacceptable the glaring holes in this first 11 and squad overall..

    They’ve taken the utter * letting these go today with nothing lined up. Blatantly lied to us as well as they said we had contingency plan's for anyone leaving and that some of our business would depend on who was going out the door..

    Well Jota and the Greek were coming in the door long before..

    40 million at stake and this is what we're being served up..
