    There were people who were confident around the time JSP was close to signing that a few more would follow before the CL deadline. We got none.

    There are a few that have said in the past week they see 4 coming before transfer deadline day. Do you guys still see it now? The signs are looking very bad. Had the look at our late summer dealings since the Lawwell and Nicholson double act took the reigns again.

    Summer 2022
    Haksabanovic - permanent (first linked 17 Aug 2022, signed 25th August)
    Abildgard - loan (linked 31 Aug, signed deadline day)

    Summer 2023
    Paolo Bernardo - loan (linked 29th August, signed deadline day)
    Nat Philips - loan (linked 30th August, signed deadline day)

    Summer 2024
    Engels - permanent (linked 14th August - signed deadline day)
    McCowan - permanent (linked early summer - signed deadline day)
    Trusty - permanent (linked 22nd August - signed deadline day)


    The damage has been done at this point. We are in the loan and free agent market from here on in. We simply do not have the capabilities of getting multiple deals over the line from here on in. We are not in for anyone, we have not identified anyone - we are solely reliant on agents approaching us and offering us players who have been told to find a new club.

    Lawwell has presided over some clusterfucks in his time at Celtic but this is a new low. This is the worst yet.

    I'm in denial, I refuse to believe that we won't add at least one player before tonights deadline.

    I don't think we are saving for a rebuild under a new manager. Our "rebuild" under Ange consisted of us turning a net profit on transfers too.

    It's clear this board have been in a case of asset stripping the past decade.

    * joke. Anyone still defending the * running us is a riddy as well, although I think even the staunchest of board apologists are now seeing the light.

    Still got almost 10 hours to add to the play off squad. 10 hours to do something we haven't done in weeks

    It's not even just leaving it this late. Our board haven't a clue who it will be, we are waiting to see who becomes available and that's really the unforgivable part. We have it all to chance, it's loan deals we are going for with 70m+ in the bank and no debt to service. It's abhorrent incompetence.

    Only positive is we got lucky with the cl draw and with rangers dropping easy points.

    In a league that isnt as * as the spl then this boards approach would be punished.
