To be quite honest I still think Congerton and Rodgers have a lot to prove when it comes to the transfer market and signing players.

There's no doubt there's been major success with the likes of Dembele, Ntcham and Sinclair.

But look how De Vries, Gamboa, Compper, Hayes, Eboue and so on have turned out.

I'm also suprised at the lack of activity. Rodgers always suggested he wanted to be fully prepared for the qualifiers and get business done early but it looks like we are going into these games without Boyata, Lustig, Rogic and haven't replaced Armstrong or Paddy. I have no doubts Rodgers will get us past the Armenians and Rosenberg with the current team but we need to get new boys in for the last 2 rounds.

It’s always seemed very odd to me.

This window was always going to be horrendous with the World Cup bang in the middle and the timing of these nuisance qualifiers - that are always going to be inconvenient and tricky in relation to our season.
However, I agree that the club were well aware of this and hopefully have been doing some serious inquiries and negotiations right now.
There's no point cashing in on previous years CL money and resting on our laurels counting the coins. BR will have reminded the board what and who is required and contemplating failure to qualify is at stake.

To be prepared for the qualifiers properly we really need to get players in January, it's ok buying in the summer but who says they're going to slot in seamlessly for such important games, and I wouldn't write rosenborg off, their season is in full flow. I do think we'll get past them but I don't think it'll be easy.

I agree Stephboy. Rodgers said January was a significant window in terms of preparing for the qualifiers and we signed a CB who played 1 game in the second half of a season, a rookie CB and a back up goalie.

Really hope I'm proved wrong and we go and bring some quality players in before the window shuts but I know what Celtic are like!
