We are a bit slow at concluding deals, so I think we will struggle to get anything more than Giakoumakis and jota in now, as they seem furthest down the line. I have a feeling they have already been done, but we won't get the official announcement until last minute so it seems to fans they have been working to the finish. How we haven't spent the money on doig, Nisbit, McCann is strange as they seem obvious signings. Maybe even big Soutter to bolster the defence. To think the money brought in and wages off the bill compared to the money spent, taking C.V. into account, I think we could have spent a bit more to back Ange.

DavieBhoy07,

What have you got to back up your claim that 'we are a bit slow at concluding deals'?

Have you also considered that maybe, just maybe, Ange doesn't think Doig, Nisbet or McCann are what he's looking for?

Lastly, Souttar is dug meat.

Starfelt approach was made long before deal was concluded. We have been negotiating for right backs all window with no deal done until juranovic. Then there is Giakoumakis, which has been a couple of weeks in the making. And these deals were all explained by respected journalist who are never far wide of the mark. I suppose I have as much to back it up as you do to back up otherwise. I think this forum is starting to change, peoples opinions are picked apart and people read all the posts, but don’t post as they can see that. I support the team, I pay my money into the club, so I’ll have my opinion wether you agree or not. I think we all want the same thing which is success for the club.

You might be right, maybe he doesn’t want the best talent in Scotland near the team, sorry Pedro71.

DavieBhoy07,

It's all about opinions and I agree that there could 1000 different views by the lads on here but the one constant is that they all want to see the best possible Celtic team performing on the park.

If you read back my previous posts you'll see how long I've been shouting for us to sign Lewis Ferguson to replace Broony, I also like Nisbet but I'm not convinced Ange does.

In terms of the deals, the little I know is that they are extremely complex these days as there are several different individuals involved all wanting a piece.

I agree with you, just feel that we have known since last year that this was a big rebuild, we should have a lot of the problems solved. And letting Christie go and Eddy go today without replacing them with quality is terrible. I think I would be happier if Giakoumakis and Jota came in and we kept they two. But I get it’s good business to get cash for them with so little left on their contracts. Regardless, we will support the players at the club come the end of the window, and hopefully anyone not wanting to be there will he gone by then.
