Every morning when I wake up I check for any possible transfer news and each morning it's as quiet as a sponsored silence in a library.
Am more convinced as each day goes by that we need to sell before we buy.
Selling KT will be the catalyst to what we spend and the quality that we bring in.
I know you don't need to spend fortunes but every club is looking for that nugget, that cheap gem which makes it harder for us to find.
If KT stays then great. and I'm sure the club has targeted players with budget in mind including KTs fee and players without it.
But I just think we need to integrate new players asap.
You have seen with the players we have have brought in that they haven't exactly hit the ground running. Boli subbed in each game, jullien hasn't start a game.
It might be a case we are waiting until the English window has closed.
To give the manager the best chance I hope we players arriving sooner rather than later.

Patience jungle John. The morning after always feels so fear filled. Once the actual football starts all will become clear. Would be nice if you stop the boil bashing already made your point but just banging the drum. Give the guy a chance mate league hasn't even started. . its pre season.

Kwaj I have actually been one of the posters sticking up for boli. But the fact is we needed a LB and he hasn't hit the ground running. Of course he needs time.
In my view once you start playing competitive matches then your season has started. the league starts on Saturday.
Sumo, jullien both suspended. Boli recovering from illness. A new RB that has barely trained with the team.
No new midfielder or attacking options from the team we have had for the last 2 years.
Am afraid the time for patience, for me anyway is waring a bit thin.
With the manager prioritising CL qualifiers I thought we would be prepared a bit better.
Our next opponents in the qualifiers will be a big step up.
All am saying is we need to step up in the recruitment area.

We have had from the Cup final to find a right back, still no one, we do not have 2 centre halves that have played together, playing 3 at the back against the weak in Europe works, but not that playing away to Mac or Cluj, they are much stronger, we will be looking for another left back in the next 2 weeks and if we can’t find a right back from May, we will have O’Donnell and Taylor from Kilmarnock in our squad when window closes, what could possibly go wrong.

Get a grip. That's all, enough said.

The longer the KT saga goes on the more I think he’ll stay.
Don’t think he’d jump ship like dembele without giving us time or advanced notice to bring in a quality replacement. How long that may take? been needing a RB for 2 years so who knows. Not time to panic yet. 3 quality additions away from looking decent.

Patience after last summers abdication of responsibility is feckin zero. Lawell for me nice needs to earn his obscene bonus. So far, again he hasn’t. Still time but we are all kissed off with the dithering can’t. Get it done you cheapskate. The CL is the key to sevco’s destruction and our leaving them chocking in our dust.

He won't do a dembele because the English window closes earlier than the rest.
It'll be England he goes to if he leaves so needn't worry about time left to strengthen.
It's the caliber they get in that worries me but I'm pleasantly surprised with signings do far. Big Israeli looks a player going by his clip videos so here's hoping that one works out.

Tamtom we have signed a right back.

Peter Lawwell will be working within a budget and the frustrating thing for the fans will be that he doesn’t know the budget yet because our European destination will determine how much we are going to spend.
I was hoping we were going to go all out this season with the money we have in the bank to guarantee 10 in a row. Get the players in early and get a settled team.
I still trust Pedro with his 10 year plan and I hope the players we eventually bring in are worth the wait.
28 Jul 2019 20:48:54
Patience John, we have signed five players this window so far, which number wise at least is quite good, with half the window remaining. If we sign another right back, I think we will have at least covered the basics . The quality players we lose could well determine how good the this window is .
I would be very disappointed if K Tierney goes as he regularly talked about being a life long Celt and here for 10 in a row . Surely he can’t leave.

Needn’t worry about time left to replace KT?
