    The * have done JUST enough to get a pass...admittedly CCV is looking like a great bit of business, as does Jota.

    No excuse for having such poor depth in midfield. * forbid McGregor picks up an injury, that happens we are *.

    Now want to see some moves on the staff and recruitment side of things. You're not out the woods yet you *, anything short of a league win this season and yous will know all about it.

    We're still very cautious in such an important year, more important in financial terms than any other in recent years..

    We still need a DoF, its essential imo..

    Will be interested to hear what the manager makes of the window..

    Crossed my mind last night. I hope he's honest about it if he's not impressed.

    From the Celtic website.

    Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his satisfaction with the club’s recent activity.

    He said: “Everyone at the Club has worked hard on making really good progress in this window and I am really pleased with the depth of quality we have managed to deliver.

    “I think the squad is in good shape for the challenges ahead and I look forward to get working as a unit with the whole squad together, as one, after the international break.

    Nope ,he said something to the effect that clubs in the j league would be reluctant to sell at present as it's in the middle of their season when asked if he was he looking at players from there.

    That statement is embarrassing.

    It’s becoming more and more evident that Dominick McKay isn’t the PR guru he was billed as.

    Just take a look at his Twitter account. He’s got a * photo of Kyogo as his display picture.

    we should have signed that lad mcann apparently went for under £2m to preston now did we not offer that if so did they just refuse to sell to us or did the player not want to come ?

    Probably will have loads off add ons. A high sell on percentage as well. Won't be 2 million and job done will end up costing Preston more in the long run.

    Won't 'cost' PNE * all... Even if he's * they'll sell him to another English team for £10M, because inter-league transfers are mental down there

    .
    The point I was making is Preston will likely have to pay addnons and it is likely that St Johnstone would have added a high sell on fee. So its not as black and white as we could have paid 2 million. If he is * in The Championship I highly doubt that Preston will get anywhere near 10 million for him. Of course it could go the other way and he could be good (he probably will) and they will be quids in because as you say transfers down there are higher which is probably why St Johnstone preferred him to go down South.

    Absolute dogshit players regularly transfer every window for about £8-10M down there... And the point I was making wasn't that StJ would get much more from this than the initial fee - we're 100% in agreement with that, but rather that even with it PNE will still cash in, even with it. If he's actually a big hit down there he'll probably move for over £20M, so could be worth twice the initial fee from the add-on

    I’ve had a feeling this Dom guy was a bullshitter from his first interview. If he told me it was friday the mora I’d still check the calendar.
