Afternoon ED, what's your take on our dealings this transfer window and what's your gut feeling on what could happen in the next 2 days? As it stands we've lost Roberts, Armstrong, possibly boyata and now looking like dembele. We've brought in a £9 million project in Edouard ( no disrespect to him) Morgan, Bain and re signed Izzy. Now to me that makes us considerably weaker than last season and while I do appreciate we need bodies out the door, I never thought we'd be sitting with 2 and a bit days left of this window in this current situation when it's abundantly clear to most where our squad needs strengthened. I do understand there's still time for bodies to come in but by god there's not much so I hope we're well down the line with a few targets as for me, if we sell dembele, possibly boyata and don't bring in the 3/ 4 players that Brendan says he wants then that's unforgivable for me.

{Ed007's Note - There's nothing I can really add to that, Garry, I agree with every word mate. The next couple of days should be interesting.}

The thing is, I appreciate we needed to offload some players but I don’t think any of our fans would have thought it would have been four of our main players. I know some will say Armstrong wasn’t a main player last year but he was a big squad player where if he was needed we weren’t weakened in any way.

Cheers ED, absolutely gutted with this news regarding dembele. I new he’d go at some point but not this window and certainly not this close to the window closing, and to top it off all this on the eve of the suduva game ( which I fully expect us to win convincingly) but the weekend of the game against that mob.

{Ed007's Note - When the Pub League window closed I thought we had a great chance of keeping him as Marseilles - who are long term admirers of Demble - were/are planning to sign another player, Balotelli was one and Giroud I think it is from Chelsea who they will be meeting in London on Friday.}

Selling dembele with 2 days of the transfer window left is diabolical. I hope he doesn’t get sold but the way this window has happened we will probably lose dembele and boyata and no one coming in. I want at least 8 million spent on a replacement for dembele but that won’t happen because of our wage structure 🤬.

Totally agree Quinn1888, there’s quite a few players in our squad that shouldn’t be there and have been around for the last 2/ 3 years and haven’t made a stamp on the team, but to lose Roberts, Armstrong, possibly boyata and looking like dembele? That’s shocking from us, granted there was no certainties with Roberts, Armstrong wanted to go south ( and that’s fine, what isn’t is we’ve not yet replaced him. If we lose a quality player we MUST have someone ready to come in) the situation with boyata is a joke, we knock back £9 million on a guy that clearly doesn’t want to be here and has no intention of signing a new deal, now there’s this crap with dembele? With griffiths and Edouard’s injury history we need 3 top strikers and that was before rodgers said he wanted 3/ 4 players in, so if dembele does go is that now 4/ 5 players rodgers wants in?

I know we are supposedly after only “quality “ players but for us to look to get in 3-4-5 players in the last day is a joke . Say what you want about the huns but you have to say they seem to go after a player and get him quickly. We seem to be linked, then distance ourselves, link again, go for a loan . Then scramble around at the end saying we ran out of time. They sign 13 players and we run out of time! Just pay the going rate and accept it, it’s doing my head in how inept we have been.

29 Aug 2018 18:06:53
We are in a bad place now with transfers and possible transfers, but really for the sake of our sanity we might as well wait until the window closes to evaluate just how bad or otherwise the window has been.

29 Aug 2018 18:41:01
Quinn I’m no worried about what rangers have signed or how many they’ve signed, I mean they needed a clear out and Gerrard has definitely improved them which to be fair wouldn’t have been hard, what infuriates me is we sell Armstrong, Rodgers says we must replace him, hasn’t happened, Stevie wonder could see we need 2 new CB’s and a new RB yet we’ve still not addressed the situation. Brendan has consistently said we’re weaker than last year, he’s consistently said we need 3/ 4 signings and it hasn’t happened, now 2 days before the window closes we’re on the brink of losing dembele? I do understand we’ve players we need to get out the door but we need to improve also, we’ve gone stale.

Rangers have repeated what they did in summer window 2016, 2017 this yr 2018 . Only lunatics repeat the same thing and expect different results.

29 Aug 2018 19:51:05
I see your point Chris but if the window shut now surely you can’t deny that the people have closed the gap on us, through our own work and some of the players they have recruited. Can anyone be confident here that we are going to bring in these 3/ 4 players that Rogers wants by Friday? And a possible replacement for moose?

29 Aug 2018 23:04:00
I certainly would not be convinced . The Scottish Media and Rangers 2012 have told us how wonderful they are . Funny thing they told us that in 2016 and 2017 .
Remember the future England keeper with the next England Manager and also Joey Barton and the Croatian midfielder . Was there any point in us turning up? Last season was just the same a team of stars with a £13 m striker .
At least the last two seasons they had managers and even under 20 manager filling in . Now no manager, just an under 18 boys coach.

29 Aug 2018 23:08:29
OMC, Rangers will be up with us, if not in front of us this season.

29 Aug 2018 23:30:35
Good luck Johhnymac, I always like a good positive Celtic man . Even Rangers2012.fans don't expect it, they are going for 2nd.
