    Reasonably happy.

    Would have been delighted to have signed Del Piero/Russell/Barbosa, but happy now with what we have.

    Would be even more pleased if we managed to bring a free agent (or two) in before Monday.

    Business well conducted by Celtic.

    I'm happy. Got a centre half and a striker. Lot of dead wood out the door. Wiped some debt.... let the good times roll.

    Have we got an option to buy Miku? I doubt we will anyway, there will always be a cheaper option.

    Really excellent business. I'll wait and see who we get in on a free but it's looking like one of the better done windows for a while.

    Is Miku really anything to be that excited about though? I have to admit I dont know much about him.

    Obviously time will tell but at the moment i think its pretty positive, the main thing i was worried about was getting a cb in and that was the first thing they've looked at sorting seemingly. Looking forward to seeing Miku as well.

    Delighted! Centre back we needed (hoping he can step up straight away) and a quality striker. Just what we needed.

    Not to forget Forster on a permanent deal, which I wanted for ages and I'm really happy it happened. Backup keeper is also a decent one.

    Also important is that we kept all our quality players (except Ki, who don't really need).

    In the end it's not how much money we spend, it's what we do with what we do end up spending and I think we've done brilliantly. Team is stronger and still lots of money to keep the banks happy.

    from your posts tonight your doctor has told me to let you know that you should lighten the * up.

    why do people always think you need to spend big to have a successful transfer window? look at a wee big of recent history...

    Forster
    Matthews
    Kayal
    Wanyama
    Hooper
    Ledley
    Juarez
    Izaguirre

    Now tell me who was the dearest? I'll give you a clue its the guy that isnt here anymore

    Delighted. Lennon mentioning that we hope to get one more striker in but does not necessarily need to be tonight. Wonder who we have in mind.

    Miku, on paper, is an incredible on loan signing.

    21 goals in La Liga for a run of the mill La Liga side when you are not an out and out striker is good in anyones book.
