People saying Celtic are weaker this year than last - one oint to argue, we are short one player in Armstrong and it doesn't take a genius to see McGinn will fill that role.

The point in having a young team is they improve. Ajer, Tierney, McGregor, Edouard, Ntcham are just a few but I would say every one of these players is rated higher now than this time last year so that would make me ask with that in mind do you really feel we are weaker than last year?

add in morgan, Christie, bain and another month in the transfer window I think people need to chill.

Rogers said it too.

We are a genuine CL group stage contender. We are not Rangers who can only dream. When you are at the top you nerd to push on. So far we have not done that. Every teams players will be better. BR is not the only one that can coach. He has said it himself, we are weaker. He wants more quality by end of August. So do the fans. Christie is not CL quality. Morgan, don't know yet. Bain is back up. We are talking about players who can come straight into the first team, not projects. We don't want Cifti, Hayes, Christie Comper etc, we need genuine quality like N'tcham and Edouard. They cost money but we are better than SPL and we need to man up for CL or we will start to drop down a level. Also McGinn is not a direct replacement for Armstrong. He is more a N'tcham/ brown player. that's why we have not gone for him. He will sign January so he is next year.

we are one man short which I acknowledged, and would love better signings in. No one is arguing that fsct but I think our best option is waiting for the English window to close.

Waghorn just went (or is going) for 8 mill down there - prices are inflated heavily. You're saying spend for the reward but what happens if celtic go ahead and spend that money on someone of that level - they wouldn't necessarily be ready to walk in the team and if we did lose then next window your selling players to make up for it.

Enjoy the success we are having plenty of it.

Johnny who you want is irrelevant.
It's who the manager wants that matters.
He wanted Hayes Compper Morgan Bain.

From his interview today.

There is some work going on behind the scenes but there is nothing to give any clarity on anyone coming in

I think every manager and coach would always look and think they would need more.

"I want it for the supporters, I want it for the squad, but I want quality.

"We could have had lots of players in but we only quality

"This is a group that has continued to grow and develop, so to bring in players that are going to be better than that.

"It takes time to source that.

"I would be disappointed if we weren't stronger come the end of August but I'm happy with where we are at because essentially I need to try and work with the players we have here in what is a treacherous period of the season.

"We aim to add quality to our squad, that's key for us, but right now, my focus is all on the players that are here. "

Maybe Mulumbu would give us something different in midfield.

Is he still a free agent Aindoh? That guy walks into any team in the country bar us. Be great depth.

Kev83. What else can the manager say. He can hardly say he wants worse players to come in.
I wouldn't mind betting though that he's a bit disappointed that halfway through this treacherous part of the season we haven't strengthened the squad as he was probably expecting.

Gerry he doesn't have to say anything but the truth of the matter is he's got that much power at parkhead right now he's bullet proof. He could fire a broadside at the board if he wanted.
Fans on hear saying he ain't telling the truth are out of order.

Let's move on bhoys agree to disagree Brendan said today things are happening behind the scenes let's wait to the window shuts.

02 Aug 2018 22:23:42
Some of our fans have spent almost all their lives criticising the board the manager, the players and individual players in particular .
Just like the Scottish media can't help itself fault finding at Celtic, so can some of our fans despite how well the club is doing.

Why is everyone getting their knickers in a twist over our transfer activity? Folks want to calm down and realise that we will not sign players for the sake of signing players!

The quality of player we want to attract to a one horse league that would get into our starting 11 will not come unless we can offer Champions League football. If we can offer Champions League football the better quality of player we can attract.

We currently have a squad that will easily wipe the floor domestically again. I can't understand why people are saying we haven't replaced Roberts or Armstrong when both couldn't get into the starting 11 last season.

Once the qualifiers are settled then we will see where we stand in terms of the type of player we can go after. HH.
