[Official TC Thread] Celtic 25/26 Summer transfer window: Stage: Something Stinks and it's not happylosses' sweaty baws

Three guys who were a big part of our best CL run in a long time they 3. Easy excuse for the board that

 

Leaked bullshit to Anthony Joseph... that's their level.

 

Certainly games getting played behind the scenes:
*Players getting bought that Rodgers doesnt want(i.e.Inamura,Shin et al)...who sanctions these buys?
*Transfer targets business delayed and prolonged unnecessarily...who is responsible for this strategy?
*Rodgers buys from last season not getting in the first team....are the Board sceptical of his targets this season and questioning his selections?
*Good players leaving not getting replaced
I think BR is a top coach,but his majority choice of targets have been imo absymal.
Something is far wrong and the club supporters are suffering.
I now believe that a decision has been made,that BR will not be extend his contract(either by him or the Board) and they are trying to scunner him to walk or he wants sacked/paid off for something hes got lined up(probably Saudi).
Its terrible that supporters and the club have to suffer under this power/ego struggle and have to go into dark depressing scenarios to fathom out the problems that pop up in a daily basis.
Funnily enough my mind game pendulum swings back and forth as to who is to blame,but I know who is suffering.

 

So 10 days to get at least 4 first team players that greatly improve the starting 11. Stop acting like * Montrose and get it done you useless parasitic *

 

Agree 100% with the above, but I´m not holding my breath.
And to think we spent £9,5M on a five year contract.

The transfer dealings (and of course lack thereof) these past two windows beggars belief. The sheer lack of common sense is mindboggling.

 

I know mate

It's almost as if the people involved with running the club aren't football people.

We desperately need an experienced director of football who knows how to run a club our size

 

Another mental thing about this transfer window is we are all raging we aren’t buying anyone. Then when we get linked to a player most people pile in and say naw he’s pish, get him to *. Be funny if it wasn’t so utterly depressing.

 

See the press now picking up again on 'nearly almost done' on Balikwisha and Breum. Seems like a 'quick lets pretend we are doing something to appease the fans'

 

See if we go out and sign

Stengs
Balikshwala
Breum
Vardy
Obert

In the next 10 days whilst simultaneously going out the UCL I will * do my dinger more than normal!

 

If we get the 5 i mentioned above in.

Daizen
Trusty
Tilio
Welsh
Kenny (loan)
Inamura (loan)
Osmand (loan)

All out and potentially 1 of Bernardo and hatate think squad would still look light

 

And still there’s no wingers signed. We are a joke.

 

Least tilio is away hopwfully now got our dosh back on that one!

 

Funny that really all our recent biggest signings aren't playing Trusty, Bernardo, Engels, Jota and Idah - Idah is a little bit now but only cause he has to.

 

Where does the idea come from that Trusty and Engels were Rodgers signings?

Idah definitely was - I don’t think there’s any chance of us paying that much without the manager insisting on it. But I’d assume Engels and Trusty were scouted.

 

Depending on how long Johnston is going to be out I would think we also need another right back. Hoping we hear some dates from Brendans interview later but I would suspect it will be months rather than weeks. Given that I would be very nervous with Ralston as the starting right back.
I would like to see us get a loan in even if its short term and not some player who has played in the EPL2 like Pussey but someone experienced like Schlupp.

so that makes it
1 x striker
2 x wingers
1 x left back
1 x right back

Also would have liked another defensive midfielder and maybe also a new starting centre back (in place of Scales) but too little time now

 

A reminder of how last minute we do business every summer....

Last summer at the death - Trusty, Valle, Engels and McCowan, before that Phillips, Bernardo and Palma before that Abildgaard and Haksabanovic before that Scales, Juranovic, CCV, Jota and Giakoumakis before that Duffy, Laxalt and Turnbull before that Forster, Frimpong, Bauer, Taylor and Elyounoussi before that Benkovic, Toljan Mulumbu and Arzani, before that Roberts, Edouard and we also tried to sign Rivaldo Coetzee who failed a medical on deadline day.

We've signed 28+ players the last 8 summer windows in like the last 5 days.

We average almost 4 signings per summer between say the 27th of August and the close of the window.

The only question is why the * do we do this every year?

 

Who is Obert?

 

Centre back from Cagliari

 

Oh aye. Doubt we bring him in to be honest.

 

Maybe next year
