Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

Here is what I think should be happening over new signings.
It looks like Brendan will welcome Boyata back into the team, barring a biggish offer from Turkey or Spain.
So, as ED007 keeps saying, we will not make another defender signing, in this summer window, UNLESS Boyata is sold, and surely this McKenna rumour is a non starter for a player out injured with a bad hamstring injury.
In defence we will then have Boyata, Gamboa, Hendry, Ajer, Simonovic, Tierney and Izzy. Our midfield looks strong also and as long as we keep Eduoard, Dembele and Griffiths fit our forward line is strong.
No Rodgers and the board, should be targeting players to bring in JANUARY, and get them upto speed for next season's CL qualifiers.

Don’t hold your breath. We should have done that last January and we went cheap with two guys who should never have been bought. Nit their fault and I feel sorry for Hendry, but much worse for us as his part in our CL exit and his pathetic attempt to tackle the Thistle player shows he is nowhere near the level we need.

Tim I think we need one more for midfield if ntcham or brown got injured i think we're in trouble.

What I don't understand is if Fulham did offer us £9m then why didn't we sell him? Doesn't make any sense to me.

The 'goalposts' keep changing according to what rumour or theory you read and this would mean BR being made to change his original stance of needing to replace the two players we lost in summer and sign a centre half - apparently we were looking at one or two?
Boyata is part of the reason we are out of the CL and I reckon many supporters will not be as forgiving as those settling for such an easy fix with a player who clearly wants to be elsewhere.
I am still of the opinion, we have the best group of players domestically, but allowing for injuries, World Cup 'fatigue' and other form issues, we have been under par recently apart from the first 44 minutes against AEK at Celtic Park and the last 15 minutes at Firhill, where we played as we could/ should.
There has definitely been disappointment already this window and even one quality signing now could lift moral going into a tricky period where further set-backs or failure could be very damaging?

If Brown or Ntcham get injured we are in trouble.
