I can't remember a time when more players who play for other teams in the league are better than what we have.

I reckon Logan, Shinnie, Ash Taylor, Hayes and Jack from Aberdeen would improve us. Stewart at Dundee, Souter at Utd and even Jamie MacDonald who has been playing out of his skin at Killie would too.

Why when we are spending millions on players are we not sourcing better players than our rivals are picking up for a combined 500k tops?

Would you be happy if Celtic signed any of them? I wouldn't

I think that we are in this state because, for years we have been lowering our standards and quality and any time we do find a 'gem' he is punted as soon as we get a good offer.
The current squad has players from the SPL and lower leagues that would never have near a Celtic jersey in past seasons.
Stokes, Armstrong, Gordon, Cifcti, GMS, Allen and even Griffiths (who has done very well) would never have been considered Celtic class a few years ago.
We need to get rid of our small club mentality and improve the standard and 'credentials' to play for our club.
There is no doubt there are a few really good players in Scotland, but we never used to ransack our rivals on such a grand scale or rely on unproven loan signings and rejects.
What has happened to our scouting system that brought guys like Wanyama, Ki, Izzaguire, Nakamura, VVD, Boruc, JVOH and Hooper - who were all affordable and improved the team?

Totally agree Jim.

The list you have given us quite diverse but the likes of Naka and JVOH are outwith our age range. VVD we would rather buy a 1 million pound player than pay 2 on a proven talent, always the cheap option. Hooper, we simply don't have the money to buy from the English championship as they are flush with money now and don't have to sell like before. Look at The prices paid for McCormack and Andre Gray.

At no point did I say that signing Jamie MacDonald would delight me. My point is that at this minute he is a better keeper than Gordon. Taylor is a better centre half than Boyata or Mulgrew. Shinnie is better than Izzy. Stewart is better than Ciftci. The others mentioned are in better form than our players.
