Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
So a player who isn't a first pick isn't a cover player now?
Considering how many games we play over a season, I think we will have a few different first choice XI’s for different jobs.

Why do you need confirmation of who are the best XI players in at the club, and who is not yet good enough.

We’re not in the 80’s anymore.
My point is, I'd rather see the club pour the entire budget into improving the first 11, the obvious positions are at RB & CB. Rodgers claims to want to do this too, yet is chasing what would essentially be a 5th choice midfielder.

We've also already spent 3m quid on another midfielder and barely gave him a chance.

He sees the loss of Armstrong and Roberts as weakening of the side, which it has. We can only assume he sees McGinn as a suitable replacement for Armstrong, and will sign another winger for Roberts. We haven't lost any centre or right backs so we're in the same position as we were at the end of last season with these positions.


That leaves us in the same position as we were last year, probably slightly better off financially because of the Armstrong money.


I share your concerns but as long as we do bring in those players then I don't have a huge issue with how we're going about this.


The reason we all get a bit edgy over this is because the qualifiers start so soon but we should have enough to take care of our first two potential opponents and will hopefully have added a player or two before the third round.

we can do both. hes said he wants to replace roberts and armstrong along with improving the team.

he wouldnt be 5th choice. currently only have brown, ntcham and mcgregor for the central 2 in our midfield and its likely mcgregor will be used further forward or left

mcginn will start plenty of games

Agree.

Can see McGinn and Wilson coming in.

I think we could see Lustig playing right side of a 3 at the back.

A quality wing back would be ideal.

Roberts signs for Leicester, is unable to prevent their slide into the Championship, activates release clause and returns 'home' to Celtic.... KT's maw gets the fish fingers in.....

Fixed that for you.... :pray:

If we actually go and sign a left back there will be a meltdown here with people convinced Tierneys away with ITK's posting he's agreed terms with Stoke

Probably going to sign McGinn next week and then sign 2 more closer to champions league qualification.

The Celtic way :brickwall:

We're improving our bid for Harry Wilson according to some shampoo football blog thing.

I do see us signing him though.

I’ve heard from a very good (read: biased) source that Rangers have first refusal on any players going out on loan from Anfield this season. No idea who this Wilson character is but I would love us to sign him so I could tell him he’s wrong.
