Summer '18 Transfer Window; all Celtic stuff in here

Gamboa has been a terrible signing for us (which should be no surprise because he couldn’t get a game for a poor West Brom side).
Having said that he’s still better than anyone the Huns have signed, with the possible exception of Arfield.

We need to be patient and try and get the right players in not more squad fillers.

It's pretty much all Rodgers has bought.

We don’t need to rush into things. Rogic was a massive player to keep, so will Edouard be.

2-3 good quality signings are what we need. Nothing more as we need to keep a core who understand and can deliver our systems on the park.

I think...
Yep players who can challenge for the first XI. We already have the makings of a reliable core (defence being the bit that needs sorting). Another great signing would be to keep Dembele another year.

Shift the dead wood too to trim the squad a bit like already has been done a bit with Ciftci.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Sad but true. Same old Celtic.
Seems that way.
The Gers have upped their game.
Under Gerrard they've definitely narrowed the gap.
Pissed off it's came to this tbh.
I am at a loss as to what Lawwell is playing at.
Desmond has a lot to answer for too.

Heard from a bear friend that they have more signings to come.
Unbelievable that we are just standing still like this.
Never should have underestimated them.
Season is going to be a tight call.
Worst attempted Whoosh in KDS history !

Shifting the deadwood hasn't really been our strong point in recent years.

Maybe we'd have seen more urgency if the Huns had signed anyone decent . Only a maybe though , we'll have a list of likely signings As it is , no need to worry .
Take our time , make sure we get the right players .

Not even in the same universe as a 'maybe'.

Whats the matter with rushing things? We knew we needed to get players in during the last window for the qualifiers.
If the right players come in eventually then it will be a waste of energy worrying about. However almost every previous example points to Lawwell, Bankier & Desmond thinking 'just enough' will do, not reaching for the best we can be (and you know Im not talking moonbeams).

EDIT
RE CB & Bankier - I lump him in with the Kaiser & PL because I think he illustrates the conservative (small c) nature; Lawwell made a lot of play in his interview with Harry Brady of the horse trading and how things will go to the deadline. The world cup wont help matters but we knew all this in advance. Id say the chances of of us snatching the 2, 3 players that we could trust in improving the team (as good as we could realistically hope to be, build rep in Europe) looks sketchy.

We've got Morgan & (maybe) Eduard - I might be wrong and they go straight into the starting XI but I dont think so. The defence needs additions, we cant argue otherwise, and even though thats how we play the ball out all the time, I dont get the sense that a CB & RB are as high a priority because 'what we have will do'. Time will tell.

Bankier has hee-haw input on transfers - He has hee-haw input on much tbh - This term's Kevin Kelly.

Think Eddie is sorted - If it is £11m it will be the full package add-ons/wages - It will suit PSG to announce it as £11m.

Rogic resigning is an important one to have sorted also.

We now need players who can come straight into the First Team and help take us on another level not squad fillers.

We need a commanding CB who can organise the defence.

I'd like us to spend decent money in that area. plus a new RB and cover at LB

I still think we need a winger.

That would be the 4 players I'd be targeting above and beyond Eddie. Winger, CB, RB, auxilliary left back

Most know what we need and Rodgers knows way more so than anybody.

Hopefully he gets what he wants in the door. :thumbsup:

Come to think of it, who would we count as being in that category?

Ciftci - gone
Allan
Gamboa
De Vries?
Compper? - remains to be seen what will happen with this guy

Not that many to be fair.

Any others who aren't likely to feature in the first team are youngsters who will likely go on loan.

Then Dembele goes and Griff gets injured . Top quality strikers dont grow on trees and we have one in our hands. It would be criminal to let him go.

Probably need a RW to put pressure on Forrest.

We've got Sinclair, McGregor, Morgan(possibly) and even Edouard can play left. Obviously, we'd be relying on Sinclair re-finding his form. Hopefully, he can do just that.

Would agree re the winger - With Roberts away we now have two wingers who are good to very good players when on their game but can be hit and miss and as with Sinclair last season can lose form badly - Hayes who is back up and will be nothing else - If Forrest or Sinclair are not doing it on the park we need someone who will come in, do a job and give them competition.

Fwiw including Eddie we are very unlikely to get four top level by our standards which is a worry as those positions you have listed are all priorities and all need covered.

Bitton.
I probably wouldn't put Hayes in there (yet), he was coming onto a decent game & was probably only ever signed to be a standin.

Bitton can join your list easily though.
