I think we are fine with what we've got for this season and only need a number 10.

My worry is going into the CL qualifiers next season. As it stands moussa and edouard will probably be away in the summer leaving us with one striker. Roberts will be back at city leaving us short of wingers again. Rogic will be at world cup and armstrongs contracts up so we need creative mids in. Lustig at world cup, big few months for ralston imo, we need to find out if he's good enough or if we need to try and buy a new rb.

If edouard has a blinder of a second half of season and we sign him and paddy then we won't be short. But to sign both of them will cost 15+ million, not going to happen.

Back to this season. Once paddy and rogic are back and if moussa stays they will play a major part in the season. They are all superb. We know what moussa is like on his day and he will get back to his best.

Ntcham and broony is definitely the way to go in cm. Calmac on the other hand needs to be dropped for a few games. I think defensively we are ok. If ralston comes in and we sign hendry then im happy with it.

A number 10 really is a priority, let's hope the behind the scene work is going to pay off, its seems to have worked for ntcham.

Armstrong's contract isn't up in the summer. Did he not sign a contract extension?
I get what you are saying though, creatively our mid needs a serious makeover and the striker situation isn't going to be ideal come the summer I feel.
A Rb, Cb, and creative mid is a must before the window closes. I can't see dembele leaving in this window so I'd be surprised if a striker is brought in. A Gk is also a must in the next window but I feel using gordan for the qualifiers is the best way to go as playing a new Gk straight away could be disastrous.

Potentially we could lose a lot of players by the summer:

Sviatchenko
Boyata
Simunovic
Gamboa
Armstrong
Roberts
Dembele
Edouard

Also think Gordon and Lustig need replaced, massive rebuilding could be required in the summer, no easy task replacing a lot of players and bedding them in for CL qualifiers, World Cup summer can make it more difficult should we target players who are participating.

Yes many could go in the summer which is why we need to recruit now for the CL qualifiers.

A no 10 is essential. Yeah you are right Armstrong has another year, but his head was all over the place during preseason and we don't want the same thing happening again.

Really just hoping we pull a few wonder signings out the bag. There must be so many players in england who were like sinky, they need a celtic to revive their careers instead of rotting away down south.

I think jozo and boyata are good enough but just not been on it this season.

I think its safe to say craig gordon will be our number one for another season.
