    Looks like 2 could be sorted in the next couple of days.
    Hopefully two more afterwards. A winger & Striker of real quality and a few out on loan

    Scarily underwhelming if so..

    Stengs I don't think we'll get but isn't what he was and was never the quickest, despite being quality before..

    The left back looks completely powderpuff to me, massively..

    Balikwisha I'll give him a chance, actually looks the best of the lot which is saying something..

    Vardy would be ok and score..

    That 4 though screams utter desperation and panicking..

    Right about 40 minutes until we get two in. Brendan said after the game we’ll see what happens in the next 48 hours. That’s about 47 hours 20 minutes!!

    3 is nowhere near enough even at 4 a think we are still light. Sqaud to 3rd jan will play a minimum of 28 matches for celtic minimum the sqaud with juat 3 additions isn't strong enough.

    For me

    Left back
    Striker
    2 wingers

    Are the bare minimum

    Think we’ll pull a deadline day special

    I think anybody could put that prediction together because let's be honest it's obvious as * a winger, a full back and one other forward is incoming.

    All very deflating. Seems our forward line will be weaker than we started last season. Unambitious nonsense.

    Our forward line for example isn’t going to get stronger every year, that’s impossible but there is definitely ambition lacking from the board here. Their argument will be they spent £9m but that doesn’t wash as Idah was here when we had Kyogo so wasn’t ever his replacement. Was such a strange thing for tbem to do as we had been crying out for them to spend bigger and they finally did on a player which we all knew wasn’t worth near it. Now we won’t go near that price range again.

    Presumably that 3 doesn't include Balikwisha given he's a LW.

    Correct. MacGowan stated another winger, a striker and a left-back.

    Not excited about any of the signings we are linked to thet all look average and nothing looking better than what we have got. This latest Senegalese player looks brutal.

    Have to say I am not optimistic at all about this last week of the window. Hope I am wrong but not optimistic. Balikwisha looks like he could be decent if he can actually stay fit and given his injury record the last couple of years that is a gamble but after that I don't expect much.

    Why not? We have a profitable player trading model so why shouldn't that be the ambition?

    Not expecting anything too mental.

    Even when Balikwisha and the LB sign we will still only have spent less than £10m.

    Just ridiculous tbh. The lack of right winger links is alarming...2 months since kuhn left ffs.

    Even 4 at this stage will underwhelm me.

    They will need some kind of marquee signing to justify the complete inaction up until now.

    If our window concludes with Balikwisha, Vardy on a free, a loan LB and a 5m pound RW thats pretty inexcusable to have left it this long for signings that could have been done weeks ago
