Chris Sutton again claiming Celtics transfer dealings are bizarre. Sure he is only an EX player with an opinion. But I completely agree. A lot at stake and we are mucking around again, McGinn now cup tied, there are no other players being quoted either. Had no inklings of a signing for over a month now, other than McGinn and the deal is still ongoing.

Every year we have fans moaning about this. Its difficult enough to get the quality in that we want never mind get them in early in the transfer window. The players we want will have options and most will want to assess those options.

I have no doubt the club could have signed a whole new squad by now but then we’d have uproar cos of the poor quality of players being brought in.

Let’s just wait and see how it goes first eh.

I agree quality players in our price range is difficult, but surely a deal should of been made with hibs for McGinn, and hibs have now quite rightly cup tied him.

My point is there is a lot at stake. Champions leauge football is needed to continue bringing in quality. A lot of people over look that. It’s not going to be an easy route to the groups.

AndyH - we aren't talking about signing Chiellini. We are talking about signing better than Boyata or Simunovic which is well within our capability.

We needed better in the position when Rodgers first came in and still do.

The board need to back him. I know a lot of Celtic fans just can't see a bad word ever said but it's the truth.

The problem about Sutton giving his tuppenies worth is that we all remember him favourably as a top player in a very good Celtic side, many may forget he was atrocious as a football manager taking Lincoln to the bottom .

Old man chris. I don't care about Sutton. Our season has started. Our most commercially attractive games
We always should have our squad in place for at least second CL qualifier but every season its the same story. It is not just thst BR has been unlucky. Not since maryin o'O'Neill have we ever got business done early. (Yes i know about john hartson) . The transfer signing timing is ridiculous and same every year and we wonder why we do nothing in CL.

Its Hibs that are taking a huge gamble.
We know that McGinn only wants to sign for us so there is no point in paying over the odds for a player that we can sign for free in 6 months. They could have taken probably if the stories are true £1.7m + Allan and us giving St Mirren their 20% now or in Jan we get the boy on a pre contract and maybe offer 500k for him to come in in Jan or they will get nothing.
He won't go straight into our team right now anyway and would probably sit on the bench most of the season or he can stay in the hibs first team.

That’s true jonbhoy, but there’s nothing stopping an English championship side or a bottom epl team taking a wee punt on him at £4m, yes he’s into his final year, but I’m sure a deal could have been made for him.

I agree Tesla. Finding and securing a replacement for Boyata or Jozo really shouldn't be that difficult and not buying someone with severe knee problems anf suspension prone is madness.

And a total waste of the fee of £1m plus wages. The only game time he has had he looked another bombscare. Just what we need. What’s wrong with us that we cannot buy a defender who improves us? They are all of a standard that has shown when we play good teams they collapse. Anyone doubting that check out the goals against over the last three years in Europe.
