I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't manage to get one more in before the CL deadline. Really hoping we can at least put a wildcard in for the squad. Whether that be McGinn or someone else, I don't think it matters. I think the squad needs some new faces.
The deadline is irrelevant, really. We can register another two players up until midnight on Monday if needed.

But yeh, no argument that some fresh faces would be nice.

I honestly don't think the team is a million miles away. We still have a lot of quality and, let's be honest, a few people had to go from a bloated squad. I like Christie, Morgan and Johnstone in the midfield. All three of those are like new signings TBH. Not terrific quality yet but raw and have a lot of potential. The real issues, as many have said, is the defence. I think Hendry will grow into the team, Ajer looks good and KT is spectacular. Boyata will likely go, so that leaves us short at the back for quality players. A right back and a centre back has to be, absolutely HAS TO BE, the priorities for Rodgers and the Board.

Heads should roll but if a treble treble happens those heads will get a raise

A fine balance
A treble treble, with no Europe.
I can see the DVD in the shop now...

Tbf I flipflop between trying to remain confident or optimistic, to remembering January & most other transfer windows before that.

Time will tell, just hope that we can learn from January & before.
Ajer, Rogic & Eddie were all very good, so at least we've extended & made permanent players we already had.
Now for some new ones, RB, CB especially.

As it was in January, when nothing was addressed.

Would just like to put the question out there to everyone.

How many signings do we need and in what positions?
First picks:

GK, 2 x CB's and an RB

Second picks:

LB, RW, DM

Assumes neither Boyata nor Simunovic nor Ajer are reliable enough for the CL (they aren't), Lustig being done (he is), Gamboa and Ralston not having any chance of stepping up to 1st pick RB, and Lewis Morgan covering Sinclair for LW, we need cover for Shooders. Gordon is also unreliable in CL games, doesn't command his area at all, although can be a great shot stopper.

What I think we'll get:

Second pick RW.

No GK, CB, RB, or LB cos Rodgers thinks what we have is good enough - how he can think that on the back of the utter pumpings we got subjected to last year is beyond me though, even allowing for the briliance of some teams, we lost some totally avoidable, shampoo, schoolboy-error goals, sometimes several in one match.

Actually if I had the choice now of selling Gordon, KT, Boyata, Jozo, and Gamboa (if anyone was willing to give us money for Lustig I'd take that too) and using the money (since this is my mental idea I get to choose the figures: KT 30M, DB 6M, CG 2M, JS 4M, CG 1M = 42M) to buy a whole new defence I'd take it. Whilst keeping Ajer cos he's effing huge, a decent passer, young enough that he might be able to be coached into a reliable defender. The rest are too bombscarey when the pressure is on (except KT, although he too had some shocking CL performances, but he's great usually).

What I also think we'll get:

Through to the CL groups. And pumped in the CL groups at least twice, probably 3, possibly 4 times.

How did the KT story come about & why was it taken as gospel that he was doing the off?

Is Paul at CQN reliable?
Are any Pauls reliable?

Paul's ok, I keep robbing him to pay Peter. :(
Paul's word is gospel, isn't. ;)

His word was once gospel. But he got his baws chewed for giving details of Andy Hinkel's move to us before the club.

4

5 if tierney goes.

RB CB Winger LB ( X2 if KT goes)
Who does the new CB displace?

Assuming we don’t sell any of our current centre backs
We don’t have one leader in central defence.

We need someone to take charge and organise the rest of them.

You never mentioned Jozo or Commper .

We won't be signing a CB .

I'd like a CB, a RB, a wide right player, someone to give us options in the middle like Armstrong did.

We’re only allowed one wild card are we not?

I think we have earmarked Connor Hazard to eventually take over from Gordon however after the recent ITK purge I just don’t know what’s happening now.

Two this season, in each of the four qualifiers.
