Fantastic analysis of how Celtic's transfer policy has changed under Ange. Really good depth to the video and I think I agree with you on all of that. Re. McCarthy I think you're correct in saying that he was probably the last of the Celtic boards ' buys ' . He is a decent player but his style isnt suited so much to Ange's Celtic sides attacking style of play. Also worth mentioning that Ange hasn't spent much money contrary to common belief, I'm not sure what the figure stands at now but before the last window he was actually in the red when it came to transfer budget, bringing in more cash on transfers out of the club than he had spent on bringing players in. An incredible stat knowing the turnaround of numbers in playing staff was in the 20s out and 20s in. Given that we also sold Juranovic, Giakoumakis and young Robertson in January for around £15 million combined I'd say confidently that Ange has continued this trend. Its exciting, we're unrecognizable from the squad Ange inherited and the football is a joy to watch when we're in full flow and our substitutions coming onto the field are as good as those they're replacing. I think I'm looking at the strongest Celtic squad in my lifetime. Keep up the great videos HH

A very bold move to name Ange a 'mastermind' when the guy will go atleast 21 months without a win in Europe.

[@flashbackfootball1367]

Don't think it's a bold move at all to name Ange a transfer market mastermind.

[@bobmcbob8732]

@@flashbackfootball1367 you could say that from a domestic perspective but then again he's spent nearly 70 million in fees, more than double his nearest rivals have in the same period. let's face it the real acid test of how good his signings really are is europe and 21 months without a win is a unenviable record for anyone when it comes round in September.

[@flashbackfootball1367]

@@bobmcbob8732 It's more like 50million I think? Which I agree is a lot, but the squad needed it and I believe quite a few of his signings will end up fetching massive profits because he buys so shrewdly. And yes, while I know it is a results business and they have indeed not been nearly good enough in Europe, for a long while in truth. But from what I saw performance wise last season, I think Ange can and will get big results in Europe, and I reckon that next season is when that will start to take shape.

Celtic under Ange have raked in many millions via player sales out the door and are wealthy club today ..Majority of ANge signigns have turned good with a minority not so good ..Worst signing Celtic have made have been James McCarthy with handing his a 4 yr deal and who was behind this signing and handed him this Desmond ? Anyhow most have been good signings from Ange and as sais he also in the process has made club many millions from players leaving . I feel now a striker is in need as Kyogo shall score goals but he is not a prolific striker and does miss many good cnances a Larsson would score with . We also can do now in close season a goalie and better Cback to partner Vickers with Europe in mind and IF Celtic got them 3 main positions filled with better in door then would be a very good side in Europe also .

[@llum0121]

Jozo didn't cost £7M did he? 😂 I'm sure it was closer to 3

[@flashbackfootball1367]

7.5 mil euros. A lot of the prices are in euros coz it was like that on Transfermarkt and I dont know how to change it 😂. So I guess it would be something like £4m.

[@christopherr3676]

Hatate is the best celtic player since larsson . There I've said it

[@flashbackfootball1367]

Hope he never pulled his hamstring when playing Hibs and is back after the international games for the run to the treble.HH MON A HOOPS

[@allainangcao28]

His previous job in the J.League really helped as it meant he has some knowledge in the Japanese market, Hatate, Maeda, Kobayashi, Iwata, and Kyogo are all J.League signings that have really reenforced the squad, build chemistry with Japanese players, they also helped themselves fan base wise. But like you said about Ideguchi, we can’t judge him because injuries are just things you can’t predict nor control.

[@natebernasconi]

Given Ange is an absolute hero in Australia and Japan, trust me, he doesn't need scouts to know the absolute best in those countries.

[@paulgorman1305]

Scouts ? 🤣

[@19dec1981]

just as you said at the end. when Juranovic and GG wanted to leave, they already replaced the with Johnston and Oh. that is very good management and vision.

[@danielcrawford6634]

McCarthy was signed before Ange came in I’m sure, same window but without any manager

[@brianbru]

Nah you're wrong mate. Ange joined us in June and McCarthy joined in August. But it is widely believed Dermot Desmond is the one who gave McCarthy the contract, not Ange. Ange had nothing to do with the transfer. Just a 'jobs for the boys' contract.

[@goarchie16]

Maeda is class. Very underrated his job in the squad

[@DG-rb7bo]

No, you couldn’t be more wrong , he is fast and gets in some good positions , but I’ve seen players in the 5th tier of Scottish football with a better first touch than maeda

The eschewal of Scottish talent has not been highlighted previously and it is important. Obviously Doig would have been a better signing than Bernabei and fulfills requirements for registration rules. Porteous for 500k seems like another no-brainer for back-up, though I'd personally pass on Nisbett.

[@flashbackfootball1367]

The decision not to sign Doig seems bizarre. The asking prices is looking like a bargain at this point and I gather he was interested in a move. I think Porteous would be good, but if the plan is for Welsh to develop and be in and around the first team, as it appears to be then I don't mind passing on him. Although as mentioned in the vid, he could have been brought in instead of Kobayashi. Personally I think Nisbett is decent.

The only problem is lose the manager done unless like Brighton and Brentford the owner the vision the club have seen the path you can't be dependent on a manager for success unless your a massive club the Ferguson wenger eras are over the model has changed Celtic massive club but players managers will want more. Most games are training matches bar eight a season why bjth club can do well in Europe.
