Ending the season i'd have been more than happy going into this season with the same squad. A few injuries have caused a bit of panic. If we can keep all our players we are so much stronger we have taken in Ntcham who already looks quality. Not forgetting players who have left. This summer for me was all about getting Paddy back and he has said Celtic tried to make it a permanent deal so if the right player becomes available we will try to get them. Id rather that than throwing cash away just for the sake of it. It wasn't that long ago i was screaming at the board to act like a big club and since we have got BR in i can't fault them. let's not forget aside from putting a very good team on the park since last summer we also have a new pitch to lay at CB, indoor pitch at lennoxtown and a hotel to build. Too many people in a panic over what the Zombies have spent, they needed to spend and they have spent their cash on garbage. Compare their new signings to the ones we made last summer. Night and day. Injuries to our CBs makes it likely we will add another player before the deadline so what is all the fuss about have a look at our squad. We ain't trying to be a PSG or a Real Madrid what we are trying to be is a good honest hard working team who play good football on a budget that doesn't put us in debt like most clubs in the UK/ Europe. We are in a good place, enjoy it.

I would agree with you on a few points Stan but in all honesty as we are a football club I'd prefer to see the best possible team on the pitch. If the team is to take a back seat to a hotel there is something seriously wrong . I appreciate we look at other revenue streams but how much would a hotel get us back? For me the team has to come first, realistically we have only signed ntcham as a major player this year. Any team that wants to improve should surely be looking at 2-3 each season or else you stagnate.

Weĺl said SP19, even if we spent every penny of our £30 million from CL on new signings what does this guarantee? Absolutely nothing, it won't give us any more hope of splitting PSG and Bayern for 2nd spot. How anyone can complain about the position we're in at the moment beggars belief. Unbeaten domestically for 16 months, qualified for last 2 CL group stages what more can we do in the current football climate. £30 million is 1 squad player for 2 of our CL opponents . Some fans need a reality check and realise spending all the money we have won't make a huge difference to us in the grand scheme of things.

Stan, I agree, although would feel a bit more comfortable with at least another decent cb. Everything else, you are spot on, in BR I trust and PL too.

Thats the thing Quinn what's happened since we won the treble have we suddenly become a bad team that needs a major overhaul. 2 injuries, Dembele and Boyata has left everyone in a panic would everyone be screaming for new players if they had both been available during the qualifiers. I don't know what the Hotel will cost I know it won't be cheap but its what it will make the Club every year afterwards that will also help to put the best team we can on the park. I also think its a myth that spending x amount of cash makes it a better transfer window id take 5 Henriks over 5 Sheidts. Its about getting the right players in. People also forgetting how well Kouassi was playing before he was hacked into a 6 week lay off he will also be like a new signing. No matter how the next day goes we have improved our squad since May with the ins and outs.

I would Stan, Boyata is good enough for our domestic football he will get his breichs pulled down in the CL as will Erik matet, I've heard this European football is a bonus for us, that's true but it's our only way of making money save selling our best players, if we are in it we at least need to give ourselves a chance to do ourselves justice and that requires us to sign a quality centre half to organise our defence and a striker to back up our 2 injury prone ones, we have needed that since last season and as usual we have left ourselves with little or no time to get these players, that is not acting like a big club in my books .
