Our manager specifically said after they beat us last month that the team lacked physicality and not enough experience! He said the words we have lots of 20 21 year olds and we need first team ready experienced players! He repeated it constantly through the window and here we are 4 weeks later with 2, 21 year olds who I will bet u right now won’t start many games for us from now to may! Lennon has proved himself a puppet and has zero credibility when it comes to our recruitment policy! Lawell has pulled the strings and Lennon has bumped his gums like an idiot in my eyes!

Will always support Celtic but our actions in the transfer windows are Mickey Mouse! Let me ask u this, what if ajer gets injured and jullien picks up a suspension, who do we turn to? El hammed? Nope he’s injured, bitton? Nope he’s injured, Jozo? Nope because he can’t play a half dozen games in a row without stubbing his big toe! No fit left wingers only 1 right winger! Your not less of a Celtic man for saying this window has been a major anti climax once again! A big push was needed for 9iar and we let the window pass with a whimper!

That pretty much sums it up.
This is a huge gamble which may or may not pay off.

We all laugh at Sevco, but as soon as Defoe got injured, they got an experienced replacement who knows how to play in this league (not the greatest player I know, but cover nonetheless) .

The very same evening we lost Johnson long term and Jozo proved what we all know about his knees, yet neither positions have been covered.

It seems we're happy to leave things in the lap of the God's for the second half of the season, which is pretty shocking in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 23:19:34
If no rabbit gets pulled out of the hat then I have to say I'm pretty disgusted with our transfer window. We've shelled out a decent fee for a striker with a pretty poor scoring record so far and a CDM who tbf looks pretty tidy but will need the inevitable bedding in period. The squad is crying out for a winger and a CB, Lennon was crying out for proven quality and experience, with 45 minutes to go we've got zero of those.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2020 23:59:34
Hes got a better scoring record than eddy did when we first brought him in.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2020 08:10:45
That's very true Kev but so did Balde and Bangura but our overall track record of bringing in young, unknown strikers with so-so records recently doesn't fill me with confidence. I'd be delighted to be proven completely wrong though. The fact that Lennon publicly said he wanted experience shows me that the window has been a failure.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2020 11:14:05
Lennon quite simply comes out of this looking like a first class Moron! All month about experience needed, the week there will be 1 or 2 in! None of which happened! If I was him i would utterly embarrassed! But we all know he won’t be! Not unless lawell tells him to!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2020 12:57:50
It was the exact same in the summer Danny. Whether he really believes it or not, he shouldn't say it because all it does is make him look dafte when it doesn't happen.

I haven't seen Rhodes kick a ball in years but one thing that is absolutely guaranteed is that he'll offer more than Bayo has to date.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Gary Rhodes would offer more than Bayo.}

31 Jan 2020 22:55:58
Ed that's not fair Bayo hasn't been given a fair go. I think there is a player there.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Since he's arrived there's been question marks over his ability even in training and nn his 14 appearances the 23-years-old has shown absolutely hee-haw, he's also been available for loan all month and the only enquiry was from St Mirren.}

31 Jan 2020 23:05:57
He no die a few weeks back ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Did he? Well that makes it a bit of a closer competition between them then - I'd probably still pick Gary Rhodes though.}

01 Feb 2020 11:09:26
Strange why we would even reject the loan offer from St Mirren as the guy won't get near the team 🤷‍♂️.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - If we're going to play 2 up top we'll need 4 strikes in the squad mate, that's the general feeling/opinion of managers. If you play with a lone striker you'll need 3 (if one gets injured you've still got a starter and a sub) but if you're going with 2 then you need 4 (if one gets injured you've still got 2 starters and a sub).
Going with what Jim Godwin said about Lennon wanting to run with 4 strikers it looks to me like we will regularly be playing 2 up front.}

02 Feb 2020 02:05:33
He might look better playing with us than he would have at St Mirren and we can find someone to cut our losses with him lol. Is it possible to still sign players out of contract? Would there be any chance us going for that Brazilian Bruno if his contracts actually been cancelled or is it likely as we were in terms of CB?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's showing up that he eventually signed for Red Bull Bragantino.}

31 Jan 2020 21:37:01
We have spent permanent 17.5m on transfer fees this season, I reckon the loan fees for Ely and FF could be another few quid. Factor in the wages and we have spent way over 20m this season, when was the last time Celtic done that?

yes and that lot played us of the park at paradise. when was the last time that happened.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2020 00:50:21
They hardly played us off the park at parkhead mate.
We were rotten that game and could have still won the game, both teams were poor on the day but cause they won their fans think they played amazing.

The cup final was different though, if it wasn’t for foster they could have won comfortably and definitely played us of the park.

At Ibrox though it was probably about our most comfortable 90 min of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2020 08:49:06
jamesyboyhail, we didn't compete with them, that is my point. we should be blowing them away and because of the clubs inability to buy quality rather than quantity we end up in this situation. we needed to strengthen yesterday and didnt.

It’s going to be aww we tried but I was happy with what we have I hope we still say that at end of season all I think of is that poor guy at sky sports who has been at Celtic Park all day fanning about reporting **** all lol I want his job.

The window ain't done yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 21:06:53
I think we have.

Klimala gives us more options than Morgan did up top. Griffiths looked good the other night linking up with Edouard. If we stick with 2 up front the other 3 must see it as fair game as to who plays with Edouard. I always think competition for places pushes players on to the next level.

Soro will be good cover in the midfield area. Never seen him play but seems athletic and good on the ball turning out from the back.

It would have been ideal to have another centre back in to have 4 natural centre halves challenging for 2 or 3 spaces at the back. Hopefully Elhamed can gain fitness and finish the season strong. He looked very good in every game he played.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 21:13:25
No because we have only 2 fit centre backs and have only signed 2 inexperienced 21 year olds who are probably not ready to step into the team yet, if Jullien or Ajer pick up an injury we could be in trouble .

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 21:32:39
Drewzbhoy definitely right 2 fit CBs is not good enough the 3-5-2 which has been good for us recently we can’t play cause Jozo no fit enough all the time I was expecting at least CB in but am not the manager Lennon and board must think that’s alright so we have to go with that. Thanks babe nd positive is I think the new Bhoys going to do good job Soro looks a character and the new number 11 looks is a f he means business.

I’m 37, and I’m sure many my age used to watch the wrestling in the late 90’s early 00’s. Watching the deadline day is like that, when your sitting watchin the wrestling, and it gets to the last half hour on raw, and your watchin the last fight, then all of a sudden, the music hits, and one of the fans favourite or bad guy returns from nowhere, and all of a sudden your exploded into life and can’t actually believe what’s happening. I’m just hoping that’s what happens in this window 😂, I may be on my second bottle of wine, but I’m just hoping for that raw ending 😁😁.

I see what you're saying Rich and it's very disappointing if we don't address the urgent areas before deadline, when we knew for weeks what was required (even the manager repeated it during interviews) .
It could be players holding out for the best offer, they can get, clubs waiting until they assess their own squads/ needs, or agents?
Whatever the reason, I hope it doesn't bite us on the arse and we don't have any regrets come May?

31 Jan 2020 18:21:36
Something we all need to remember is that we can approach clubs about players and we might agree a deal with the club but the player then says no. We need to realise that not all players want to come to Scotland if there is a chance of playing in the EPL or Championship or another country. It's the way it is so there's no need to blame our club for not trying. None of us knows how many clubs have been approached about players since the beginning of the month and to speculate only makes a fool out of the speculator. Peace guys, relax and wait. HH.

31 Jan 2020 18:04:15
We have been hit with several lengthy injuries all season and have released a few more fringe players, so I reckoned we urgently needed at least one more today between centre half and winger and that has what the manager has been saying all along.
The reluctance or inability to do this is disappointing - unless El Hamed and Elyannoussi are close to returning for duty?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 18:32:32
Not by midnight 😂 but if not panic buying now means more chance of those 2 signing on permanently in the coming months I'd take it.

Elyounoussi and Elhamed apparently back within 2 weeks.

As I write this it looks more and more likely that we are done for this window. Can anyone tell me why we don’t sign players who can come in, and take a first team place and improve the side instantly. I know we signed Forster but he’s only on loan, pat the pole Lennie said the other night “ he showed us what he’s about a bit with his pace but he needs to learn how to play with his back to goal”. Soro, probably won’t see him much this year 🙈 most fans agreed on here that we needed players for certain positions . Lennie said all window that he wanted first team ready players, where are they? I’m ready for the usual bull from lawell or the club, jan is a really difficult month for us to do work in but we have secured two potentially big players. Whether jan is hard or not, we needed a good window to push away from them. Also jans a big month for us as some of our most important games come in July or early August . We could potentially be going into these games with maybe one keeper ( bain) where is the planning for that .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2020 16:44:52
U sound shocked Quinn! It’s the same every time mate! Nothing will ever change. we have been hearing about first team ready experienced players since the 1st of the month and here we are on the 31st with no player who fits that description signed! Lennon hasn’t got a scooby about who comes in! Lawell is pulling the strings as usual! We’ve sold 2 left wingers and have another 2 who are always injured, we've 2 right wingers one of whom we’re likely to getting a sighting of lord lucan or shergar before we spot him! Forest has no competition! We seem to be trying 352 which means we need at least 3 centre backs, we’ve got 2 fit ones and one who is injure more than he plays! If it comes back to bite us at the end of the season, and I do realise it’s only if. but if it does we know who to blame and I hope for once he’s actually held accountable for his sheer incompetence!

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 17:03:58
Elyounoussi?
Julien?
Forster?
Elhamed?

All brought in in last window all first team starters when fit.

How many more can we bring in straight away and who ye dropping?

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 17:51:43
Elyounoussi and Forster at the moment are in loan. If they sign permanently then fine, but if not then come the summer we’re running about AGAIN looking for a winger and a keeper. Gordon will be off which I don’t think too many will mind which leaves Bain. Bain simply isn’t good enough to be first choice.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 17:51:48
Buster, sorry I did forget about Julien . Two are loans though who I’d be surprised if we will sign due to the whole cost of the deals ( wages and fees) . Elhamed has been good but he unfortunately seems injury prone. I just feel we should have been doing more in this window seeing as we are fighting on four fronts at the minute, with loads of injuries.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 02:22:45
They would all start and 2 currently do. I think his point is on echoing Lennys own words and how they never seen to make any sense re transfers. Even though all the positions we brought cover for are the same positions that the injuries are piling up. Surely it can't just be coincidental?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 02:23:38
Buster You have said it urself! When fit! Elyounoussi and el hamed are rarely fit! Like I said we’ve sold 2 left wingers, we’re left with an injury prone loanee and a wee boy who’s injured long term and ain’t ready for the first time! Lennon looks a complete and utter clown after bumping his gums about experience to help the players he said lacked physicality against the Rangers! He ain’t got a clue what’s going on with our transfer dealings, or should I say lack of them!

What quality are you going to get for 5.5m Sheffield United just bought someone for 22m and Wolves bought someone for 17m that’s what we are competing against. We can’t attract quality to our Mickey Mouse league, any decent player we have bought don’t stay for any length of time. As soon as there is an interest from the EPL and the wages on offer they are off . Im no different any other Celtic fan I would love top quality players at the club but unfortunately it won’t happen.

My priority would be a left footed CB and a winger who could play both sides like Boyle.
If we did get Wanyama and Boyle, I would also be happy because although it’s not his favoured position, Wanyama could fill in at CB, like he did a few times first time around.

I'd say the priority should be a CB, especially if Lennon wants to go 3 at the back because we'd be taking a massive risk by banking on Hatem or Jozo staying fit until the end of the season. A winger would also be good since Arzani and Shved don't seem to be in the plans at the moment. I know Lawwell gets pelters for the way he does his business but surely even he can't see us leave this window with two 21 year olds who aren't going to make a difference to the first team immediately.

{Ed007's Note - Yoane Wissa, 23-year-old French LW from Lorient could be a possibility but it's probably too late to get anything done in this window imo.}

31 Jan 2020 14:18:15
Read Melling can leave Rosenboug for 1million. Cut our losses with Bolongoli and punt him in the summer. I hope we get a winger and CH today.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 15:38:23
I've seen Wissa's name floating about social media Ed and it looks a very good move but still the fact that we could go into the rest of the season hoping Jozo and Hatem both get to full fitness, nevermind stay fit gives me the fear.

I enjoy the suspense lads. We know Lennon winds up the media and fans lols. We never know what Celtic are up to. I like the mind game Lennon playes with ssmirk. Yes he's up and down in interviews he just spews it as light hearted fun but what a big deal Celtic and celtic media have made of two new lads.
He's trying to get more in I'm sure of that.

Can we have a poll please Ed? Who will be brought it before the deadline tonight:

McLean
English league CB
English league winger
Scottish league CB
Scottish league winger
Relatively unknown player
Nobody

Cheers 😁.

I’ll be surprised if we bring anyone in especially of the level of Wanyama or benkovic . I’d say we are gambling on 9 at the minute. Even last week we were down to 2 centre backs . We have been saying we need the same type of players since the start of the window, here we are on the last day having signed none of these type of players who can come straight in and make a place in the team their own. Now we will be scrambling around for a loan somewhere.

Think this is just mischief making and SLY speculation; knowing how much supporters would want it to happen.
Celtic need a centre half and/ or a left winger and they have 10 hours to make it happen.

Would like it to happen but the faith of what ED is confident with players coming in are being tested I must say.

I think we will get Wanyama. Would be massive for us in games v Sevco and Ntcham and Soro would learn a lot from him. Even at £25k - £30k a week it would be worth it. Fact he knows manager, captain, FF etc might just be what gives us an advantage over other loan deals. Surely he would rather play somewhere for the next 6 months?

chinks mate, there is no room in the treatment room for big victor.

31 Jan 2020 09:12:42
I can't remember him being injured much if at all at us.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 09:22:51
There is no way we can or should pay top dollar for ANY player who is injury prone and hasn't been playing at their club. It would be madness. If we do it and he can't play then the fans will be criticising the club for getting him in the first place. Let's forget the romantic memories of Big Vic, he did well for us and he benefitted because we set him up for his big money move but that ship has hopefully sailed. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 09:27:10
Not interested in big Vic to be honest, i was at first but if his injuries and time on the treatment table are anything to go by he will just be another bit part player getting the odd game here and there, a very expensive sick note if you ask me. plus we don't need anyone for the middle of the park now we have recalled the lad Henderson. Our priority needs to be CB and LW, depending how far away Mo is from fitness.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 09:53:55
he has a suspect knee, plastic pitches and the thuggery of the spfl. a total recipe for disaster.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 09:54:50
He has rapidly declined not to mention injury prone. We are well covered in that position anyway. We need a LW due to injuries and I would be happy to see another loan brought in that will solve issue.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 10:31:42
Our injury list is very worrying because it's not just a wee knock or strain here and there; it's long term lay-offs and several players who are more injured than fit. Right now we are desperately short of central defenders and another left sided forward and as the clock ticks away, it's increasingly important to sort it out with all that's at stake in the run-in.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2020 10:12:14
Think Wanyama is a no go to be honest. loved the big man first time round but feel with broony cal Mac ntcham and Soro we’re well off in there! Would like a winger brought in to be honest! Elyounousi is superb but his injuries mean we mite not see him often! And mikey even though he’s injured now isn’t a first pick for me. would love a winger with experience and a Center back brought in. the way lennon was taking but it looks like we’ll go with what we’ve got! Hope for a couple of late signings but wouldn’t bet on it. u heard anything ED?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Apparently we contacted Hibs last night about Matin Boyle but they don't want to sell him until summer

31 Jan 2020 13:22:59
Cheers ED. not to keen on the lad boyle to be honest mate, think he’s average at best!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I agree, Danny.}

31 Jan 2020 06:11:35
With Jozo now out again and Elhamed still injured, I think a CH is our priority if we get 1 more player today. A short term loan will do, just someone who can play without being constantly injured. Otherwise the sight of SB covering in there might happen.
