Well guys I think we can safely say we're back to the old ways of recruitment, lawwell back getting involved and Brendan pretty much going along with it. We had a solid 2 years under ange where he decided what happened and it's not a coincidence lawwell wasn't involved during that period.
Rumour has it the only incoming in this window is possibly a left back, that's it, with the focus on shifting deadwood out the door either permanently or on loan.
Brendan's comments recently about the striker situation and how it would have been different if kyogo was away to the Asian cup pretty much summed it up, he said something along the lines of the players won't be away too long, so in other words we don't need to sign a striker as when everyone is fit we'll have kyogo, oh and maeda as striking options for the second half of the season.

So far the window has been underwhelming. While I am pessimistic about signing players, I am holding my judgement until the window closes.

However I'll dust down my old sack the board banner from the 90s just in case.

So that'll be 3 striking options to chose from when we only play 1 strìker? better than dessers, Roofe and Sima I suppose? Not sure if you are aware but a LB won't be the only incoming this month as we have already signed a German winger? Better than the mere loan signing of Silva I suppose?.

Who says lawell is pulling strings, rumour has it from who. what a lot of mince, fact is we want players that can contribute, not more turnbulls Guccis lagerbelkes johnstones ohs yangs holms McCarthy’s the list goes on and getting these guys away should be priorIt’s also, if we sign enough (just enough) to see league out im cool with that, for me a left back and loan striker would see job done, it’s not great that we don’t seem to want to prepare for next season but the players we want need to be available also and want to come here, the dross from fans regarding Lawell and regarding ange being the bees knees when he littered squad with useless players and happily pushed giakomakis out the door when he was wangling his own move is beyond me, ccv aside our first team and bench is now fit there’s no panic, il come back to you deadline day if that’s still way I feel lol.

As long as Lawell is in the building that suspicion will persist. Also the point of most of us about getting in a bit of quality is precisely to stop the club buying more or should that be different squad fillers.

Boy88 your as bad as the board, when are we going to stop looking across city . Who cares what players they have or haven't bought, that shouldn't make a difference to who we sign . That's where we go wrong just doing enough to stay top and no more . We need to be more ambitious.

Although PL is a non-exec chairman, I refuse to believe for one second that he has zero influence on all business and admin matters within our club. The guy has been used to power and control all his working life and was notorious for his past hands-on interference. Basically, the difference between Celtic with AND without his dominant presence in any capacity is there for all to see.

P L will always be involved as long as some people have it in their heads he involved . Many Companies and Organisations have people working from home, to my mind it is totally irrelevant whether P L is in the building or not, as if he and Celtic wanted him to act as CEO for the purpose of completing transfer, he could do that job at home and receive another £500k on top of the £140k that he is currently earning as Chairman .
I haven’t heard any rumours of Nicholson accepting £500k pay cut and giving his transfer portfolio to big Peter.
