Ed what's your thoughts on the transfer window so far?
Are we stronger with the new striker and possibly the new midfielder?
Or are we beefing up the squad without any players ready made players to walk into the starting 11.

{Ed007's Note - As usual when it comes to Celtic transfer windows it's a mixed bag for me, fans and more importantly the manager wanted players in earlier than has happened but to be fair that's not always the Club's - or Lawwell's - fault. Signing Klimala and having LG back gives us both quality & competition up front and Soro looks like he could be a player and add another dimension to the midfield area. We still need someone who can play or at least cover Elyounoussi on the left, maybe even someone who will replace Elyounoussi if we can't sign him permanently in the summer and we need another CB in the door too, especially if NL's going to go with 3 at the back as Simunovic can't be relied upon and the jury's still out on Elhamed regarding him being able to stay fit.
We've not really weakened the squad imo as Sinclair wasn't getting any game time and getting his wages off the books is a bonus, Hendry, Morgan, Kouassi and Bayo are/were also offering nothing and are/will be no great loss either.
Overall so far I'd say we're slightly stronger than we were as we haven't lost any proper first team players and added to the striker & midfield areas.
I expect there will be more players brought in - and probably some more exits - and we will have a stronger squad than we had 3 weeks ago.}

Is Bayo definitely for the off in this window then Ed? Possible loan or are we keen to move him on completely like a loan with option to buy at the end of it?

{Ed007's Note - Well he's asked to be loaned out and if it's loan to buy that's a bonus. He's awful and would never have been signed if it wasn't for Toure supposedly mentoring him, I wonder if he made any £ out of it?}

Having missed so much of the season, you could argue that a fit elhamd and moi are like 2 new signings.
Yes agreed a CB is required along with a sprinkle of magic in the forward area and more importantly everyone staying fit and I think we are looking really strong.

{Ed007's Note - I'd argue that a fit Elhamed would be miraculous.}

As Lennon said yesterday press conference he definitely wants a winger but if anything else comes up and they can do it they will to me going by that means he’s not fussed at all happy with what he’s got but i do hope that if any cure ball gets thrown at the club that they will be able to act appropriately to counter that.

We can always sell him to Leicester if Toure liked him so much. I hear they're looking for a backup to Vardy anyway so it's a win win 😉.

{Ed007's Note - Maybe the rumours of them bidding £30 million for Eddy in the summer are wide of the mark and it's actually Bayo they want 😁
