Celtic's 2025/26 Summer transfer window: needed and wanted!

I think we will sign another CB, and offload the three others you mentioned, and I think we will be seeking to offload Trusty too, for £6M, he is not up to the mark.

Regardless of what people think of Liam Scales, I am sure he will stay, because he is the apple of Brendan's eye.

 

You're probably right there. But getting KT in, AJ fit and a couple of good additions, 1 being DMF in the middle of the park would certainly help the CBs out.

 

I see Ndidi is available on a £9M release clause this summer, not sure he is worth that at 28, but a very good defensive midfielder nevertheless.

 

We need more pace and power in the side as a given. But we also need more players that have the ability to go by a man and open up the space, particularly in midfield..

A centre back whos big, strong, quick and can play out/bring the ball out from the back comfortably. No cheap and easy to find but what's needed..

We need a strong, quick midfielder who's comfortable playing in tight spaces/being pressed and good box to box..

We need a strong, quick striker who's pretty clinical, can link the play and play with his back to goal..

That's 3 essential signings that are needed through the spine of the team alone..

 

Bernardo gad a good first part to the season . I like him and feel he will turn good. Has to be part of future planning

Agreed, same goes with Engels. Two boys who have it in them to be proper Champions League level midfielders. Think too many are eager to write these guys off if they show a bit of inconsistency but really, if you think in terms of them building their game over 3/4/5 seasons it's well worth just giving them the space to work at it.

The talent is clearly there, for me they'll both go up another level next year and start to dominate bigger games against better opposition. One quality midfielder is all we need this summer imo.

 

Aye badly lack someone in the mould of Mcginn/Armstrong/Christie that can go box to box with boy of power and pace and go by players with the ball

 

screaming for a more physical CDM and we have been for years.
