Like Patrick he’s a reasoned young guy who speaks sense .. kev and big john are ok tae ..😊. If anyone came in for Hatate with a good bid I would give it real consideration. He can be eye catching going forward but as a number 8 he leaves big gaps in the middle of the park , weak in the tackle and gives the ball away too often . You get crucified against good teams if your 8 is not disciplined and can do a good defensive shift when needed .in Europe discipline will be paramount. We know there is not a chance we will get a net spend of 30 mil we can all dream but will never happen competing in the spl .. 70 80 mil is probably 3 seasons worth

[@frankbrennan1619]

We can ALL rest safe in the knowledge that Rodgers will be most actively looking to deposit Reo ''poor attitude'' Hatate in the Departure Lounge of Glasgow Airport as soon as humanly possible this summer transfer window, since Brendan spotted Hatate's very poor attitude last summer & it was so poor, he had to pick Turnbull ahead of him at the start of last season before all Hatate's injuries & indeed Rodgers will be even more determined to get rid of ''poor attitude'' Hatate this summer transfer window after he almost quite literally didn't kick a single ball in earnest in the Glasgow derby & the Cup Final too & the ONLY sad thing aboot him getting kicked oot the door for good is that we'll not get that much for him.....

[@iwanttoplaywithspringsteen9188]

. It’s nothing to do with net spends it’s how we spend when we enter the transfer market . We brought in around 25 mil in transfers last year .. we could have brought In four 7 mil players and maybe a loan to buy of the same value last season and probably been in a decent place .. we could probably do the same if orelly goes and have a great squad with a low net spend .

[@frankbrennan1619]

No, the Board are most certainly NOT ''in the spotlight'' in the way that you suggest, simply because they gave a huge big whopping TWENTY THREE MILLION pounds in the signing of NINE duds last summer transfer window & then Kuhn in January & we ALL know they are complete duds, or should do, since NONE of them started in BOTH the Glasgow derby Title decider at Celtic Park & in the Cup Final & so for me, this was the very worst recruitment we've ever done in a whole season & so at stating the blindingly obvious, new recruitment guy Mark Cooper, who replaced the abject failures of Lawwell Jnr & Dudgeon, just MUST do better this summer & in the next two, three four, five windows & for sure, his task is ginormous.

i hope am wrong i reckon Matt O'Riley, Kyogo, reo, will leave celtic this summer. we will spend roughly between 15 to 18 million pounds max on a lower level of player and hope that coaches can developed those new players quickly. if we do bring in bernaldo, idah , who are only squad players i dont expect them to make much of a difference to our first team unless our coaching dramatic improves. we will be a lot more weaker again next season because the board will just bank all the cash we make from the sales of players and champion league because that they way our club works unfortunately. i said in my previous comments that Brendan Rodgers should have use his managerial experience and walk away from the job while he had the chance because he cant work under our board system and i believe he will be away before christmas because i predict further problems next season involving him and the board i hope am prove wrong with these comments

It's completely NOT a case of ''give Brendan the money'' as he told us ALL last August that he merely ''played a part'' in the Recruitment process & his job is primarily to ''coach & develop the players he's PROVIDED WITH'' & he AGREED to ALL of this BEFORE he put pen to paper & signed his own multi - million three year deal that would greatly assist him in augmenting his ever burgeoning house & Rolex collections & so yes of course, he MUST most actively ''play his part'' in the Recruitment process this summer & tell new Recruitment guy Mark Cooper EXACTLY what he NEEDS (there will be a budget obviously) & even more importantly, most seriously start a real, proper, clear out of the multiple deadwood we currently have.

Celtic first signing will be interesting because it will tells us which path we are going do in terms of transfer fee, i dont expect to see 6 million pounds at celtic for next season i believe it will be value for money policy with players that coaches should be able to developed. i believe the signing will be scouted by Mark cooper once he announced later this month. This will continue to frustrated Brendan Rodgers because he wants to bring his own players in at the club. i also believe the club signings will depend on who goes and stays. the goalkeeper one will be very interesting if we can find a suitable one, or it could be ben siegrist for next season as emergency back up til we find one

[@frankbrennan1619]

As I've already said elsewhere, Rodgers AGREED to merely ''play a part'' in the Recruitment process & that his job was to primarily ''coach & develop the players he's PROVIDED WITH'' & so hitherto Brendan most certainly was NEVER EVER in a position to dictate to ANYONE ''to bring in his own players at the Club'' but for sure we NEED a new start every week First Team goalkeeper & a real & proper Number Two keeper & a left back, so those three will cost TEN MILLION ish for ANYTHING half decent & of course if they agree to come & play in the woeful & dire SPFL, we NEED at least TWO half decent midfielders, another striker, a winger & the best quality centre back we can get & that little lot will cost FIFTEEN MILLION ish & that's it.

[@patrickloughrey]

@@frankbrennan1619 ok, the biggest problem we got is our squad to big, its need a clear out, the problem is no one wants those players and their too many players out on loan that have come back to the club, we had 12 players out on loan, we got to get rid of the deadwood, then again are these players bad players or is it our coaches and manager that not developing, all these players, mean they cant all be bad players, they are international players. i think we need better coaches and also a better manager, i know that wont happened. i dont see celtic spending to much money in this window, i could be wrong. i think celtic will play it by ear only bring in necessary players at lower level and hope they developed quickly again . i reckon we will spend roughly between 15 to 18 million pound max, with Matt O''Rliey going Kyogo going REO i think those 3 players will leave this summer. in my opinion we will be a lot more weaker again next season i could be wrong with those comments, Brendan Rodgers will be away before christmas, hopefully am wrong with these comments. whatever celtic makes this summer it will get bank again because that the way celtic board works unfortunately

@@patrickloughrey You make many good points Patrick & I said this time last year we NEEDED to start a serious ''clear out'' & we did get rid of two or three we completely NEEDED to get rid of, but the ''clear out'' was still NOWHERE near big enough & then we compounded the huge deadwood mess even further by signing another NINE further duds to add to the already existing & significant number of deadwood we still had on the payroll & then we sign Kuhn in January too, so our squad is even bigger & even more bloated than ever before & it's completely unsustainable & of course NOBODY is queuing up in Kerrydale Street desperate to buy the likes of Lagerbielke, Kwon, Iwata, Tilio, Invisible Man McCarthy who has now completed THREE years ish of a FOUR year deal & played NOT one single FULL ninety minutes & ALL for £25,000 a week. Absolute financial madness of the very worst kind. As for Rodgers, I think he seriously misses having Chris Davies as his Number Two as he did first time round & that overall I still consider Rodgers to be a good coach, but for me certainly NOT any kind of an ''elite'' Coach or Manager & where I do completely trust him & agree with him is that ALL players must NOT have ''a poor attitude'' & if you do & no matter how talented you are, Rodgers just won't have you & rightly so & as for Kennedy, Strachan, McManus, O'Dea & all the rest of them, time for a major ''clear out'' of that lot too.

@@frankbrennan1619 ok i dont rate john kennedy, strachan, mcmanus, odea we should have got rid of them when Ange arrived a few years ago. Mark Cooper arrives at the end of the month to help with our recruitment of players, we need value for money that going to take club forward. ill be honest with you Frank i was delighted when Rodgers came back to the club unfortunately i think Brenda Rodgers best days as manager is behind him, hes not the same manager as he was in his first spell this season under rodgers was abysmal and hes got to take responsibility he just cant keep on blaming the board he knew exactly what our club was about mate, that why he left the first time. i know the board are hopeless and tried to save money, rodgers should be beating kilmarnock, hearts, st.johmstone and winning our league in a canter, when he lost an 8 point lead and Rangers overtook us that was the moment i stop supporting rodgers as manager of our football club. if Rangers were a decent side we would have win nothing this season under Rodgers thankfully we got over the line and Rodgers can thank his lucky stars that Rangers are poor side at the moment, also we got a bit luck in the scottish cup final when butland had a howler and we took full advantage and that save brendan Rodgers job for the time being, i hope Brendan Rodgers proves me wrong and we are far better next season under his management, in my own opinion i expect Rangers to be better next season under clement and i believe Rodgers will probably pay the price for the board lack of support, i expect more problems next season between rodgers and the board. Neil lennon paid the price for coming back to our club i just hope its not repeat for us our sakes mate .
