So, pre season training has just started. 6 weeks of the transfer window remain. 1st team squad players along with youth players deemed not good enough have been released with more to follow. We have signed Edouard for a record transfer fee, have tied up Ajer, Bain, Rogic to long term deals with Griffiths deal imminent. We have Morgan and Christie returning from successful loan deals. Yet people still moaning, the board will let them down like every other window? Wtf! Has BR not built a team these last 3 transfer windows. Do people think it's as easy as picking a player and Celtic signing them within an hour! The player has to want to come, the club has to be willing to sell, fees to be agreed, wages to be agreed, the minute Celtic show an interest other clubs then show an interest, clubs that can offer silly cash. Ed007, I feel for you having to go through all these comments there now seems to be an abundance of people wakening in the morning and spashing misery milk on their coco pops. It has become so bad i've decided to now take a break and go enjoy the summer away from these doom and gloom merchants, their negativity is spreading like wildfire. Will be back on when the new season starts. Keep up the good work, you deserve a medal. Ed001 please get in touch via email if you have any boxing legend updates i'm looking forward to reading Watson and Johnson. HH.

{Ed001's Note - hey mate, just in the middle of sorting out my notes on Arturo Gatti. All being well it should be up in the next couple of days, though the World Cup is slowing me down. So many games at this stage that it is difficult to get anything much done!}

Excellent, I did read up a bit about him after talking to you last week. It was actually Alfonso Gomez he fought, i think i said it was Manfredo Jr. I knew it was one of these contender guys. It was Manfredo who fought Calzaghe. Be a good read so keep me updated thanks.

{Ed001's Note - he fought a Menfredy, that was who I thought you meant. Gomez was his final fight. I will mate, just a lot to sort out notes-wise, particularly with his death and aftermath being disputed.}

Sorry to pour misery milk Stan but all Celtic have done is consolidate this summer not push on in my opinion. Bain doesn't improve over Gordon. Morgan and Christie I wouldn't be sure about starting consistently. Eduoard good bit of business but will he start or better Moussa? Ajer and rogic are good resignings to give stability but don't you want to see players signed who improve us? Remember we will be missing boyata, lustig, gamboa, rogic and Roberts for vital start to season.
I also don't buy into the transfer window is just opened crap Brendan admitted our performances were unacceptable far too often last season so recruitment was and should always be part of improvement and players should be identified well in advance.

I have no doubt they are identified in advance
Maybe the club has tried to sign players or put out offers
This doesn’t mean the players will sign early especially in a World Cup year.

Jim be careful there, too much negativity 😂😂

I agree with you but we all have our opinions at the end of the day and we should be more accepting of peoples thoughts instead of slagging them or calling them negative.

We all have different standards after all.

Cheers kev but I don't think I was being negative or slagging anyone merely stating my opinion which I agree everyone has. If the negativity and slagging was aimed at Stan fair enough👍.

Wasn’t meaning you Jim

There are folk that think having an opinion is not allowed if it’s not all positive.

It ain't slagging people off when you say they are negative. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when the same people are on here daily constantly moaning because of what we are or are not doing it becomes utterly depressing to read. There is 6 weeks left of the transfer window and people again moaning. I did reply earlier Jim but it hasn't been posted. How do you know the club have not bid for players? The board are going about their business and the media have no idea who we are talking to. that's the way i like it. Anyway i'm away to enjoy my summer. Cya.

{Ed007's Note - I can't see a post that didn't go up, Stan......

Stan I have no idea if the club have or haven't made any bids but as a fan I think we should have had a couple of players brought in who improve the starting eleven and are here for pre-season training to raise standards. enjoy your summer break 👍.

Scott Bain is not Celtic quality if Sevco signed him we would all laugh at them for signing a dud I'm underwhelmed by this he would be a third choice keeper at best.

Enjoy your break Stan!

My comments are not aimed at you either but in general it happens when people have a difference in opinion.
