Rodgers is one of the most diplomatic managers I've ever seen. He's not going to come out slaughtering Lawwell. Hopefully behind the scenes he's having a wee word with Dermot ![]() I'd trust what hailhailceltic has to say on this. |

He was hopeful of completing at least 2 deals today. From what i've heard we wanted a striker and centre mid. |

Aye I saw that, if Rodgers is at all unhappy about our business in this window I think he will let us know in his own way soon enough. |

Tried for 3 cm last few days and never happened for various reasons. Dissapointed yes but we are a much better team squad than last season |

Total supporter of how we have gone about things since April. Not getting a CM in after qualifying for CL in my opinion is a massive blunder. If we had been in EL would have totally agreed with sticking where we were. I have to give the club the benefit of the doubt here and hope I am wrong. Given that January isn't a great time to buy real quality then the squad we have is the squad for the qualifiers next year presumably. Minus Roberts and possibly Toure. Now was the time to position ourselves for the next qualification process. Never have the stars aligned so well to do it as we were not expecting to qualify this year. |

It's hard to say whether today is the result of poor planning or bad luck. It seems we were stuck in a chain of transfers based on what happened between Genoa, an EPL club (Palace?) and Juve. Likewise for the McCarthy deal. I hope this was why they failed, as opposed to Lawell deciding to bank the CL money and ignore the results of those group games. It's been a good window overall but the problem areas haven't been addressed. Brown and Bitton aren't a good central midfield combination but we're relying on them to stay fit because they're the best we've got. The players further down the pecking order in that position have no experience of CL level football (Henderson) or aren't good enough (McGregor and Armstrong). We'll struggle even more in the CL games if we have to use them. Striker isn't as acute a problem but we could have done with one more. A mixed bag. Let's hope this was a platform to allow the team to improve in subsequent windows. |

It's Lawell's job to fill the gaps his manager wants filled. "I tried, honest," isn't good enough. A manager cannot be judged fairly on the basis of his boss's failure. Lawell simply can't do his job. He needs to GTF. |

The great thing about Rodgers is that he is a Celtic fan who is genuinely delighted to be here and when he says the board have supported him - I believe him. He is just three months into the job and so far, so good. |

Absolutely. I have no fear of being bullshampooted by Rodgers in the same manner as Deila. If Rodgers faces the press and he says he is happy with how the window went then fair does, I'm not going to second guess him. There was an interview with him a few weeks back when being questioned about potential targets and he said how he had told the club who he wanted and it was up to the club to deliver them, not his exact words but it was certainly along those lines. I have no idea how he is feeling tonight with regards to this window but if he is pissed off, I think he will let us know in his own way. |

At least they now won't be able to blame not qualifying for Champions League for not spending money. |

Exactly Murph. The hardest work of the season, at least from a financial perspective has been done, and passed with flying colours. IT would have been great if we'd managed to nail down a quality centremid - but generally it seems to me we are def moving in the right direction. I'm glad the Simunovic transfer didn't happen - if he gets back to fitness, he may well be a very solid part of the squad, and could double in value this season. And if we get any injuries, we might need to use a few CB this season, so the more options, the better. Boyata and Efe give me the fear esp in the big games , and as it stands, there's a few folk in line before them these days. Thats' progress. We also are going into a campaign with more real firepower than in recent years with the addition of Sinclair. Again progress. There's a lot to be positive about. It's not been a truly ideal window - but it's been half decent. |

It'll be Everton's fault for not getting Sissoko. Or the bold Jozo will be thrown under the nearest bus. |

Like most managers at this time, he will be frustrated at not bringing in more players. He has spoke about wanting to bring in another creative and forward player. Make no mistake about it, he wanted 2 in today and will be frustrated nothing came of it. There is no chance he will come publicly and say he's unhappy with the transfer window. Everything coming out of the club in regards to the manager, his vision, ideas and structure is very positive, i can't wait for the season ahead

If Lawwell is continually finding it too difficult to sign players then perhaps we need to find someone who can? |
