I’m beginning to think that the club don’t actually care about the Celtic supporters and have little interest in investing in Brendan’s squad…
Just over three weeks of the transfer window remain and incredibly we are still weaker as a squad than last season.
That sorry situation could quickly worsen with the sale of Matt O’Riley imminent, and despite a record transfer fee pending it won’t do us supporters or indeed Brendan Rodgers any good as the board are very unlikely to reinvest it, if history is anything to go by.
Even without a bumper transfer fee, we were still in an extremely healthy financial position, with the added bonus of Champions League money to come. What have we done with those riches? Kasper Schmeichel on a free, Valjami Sinisalo for £1 million and a haggled down cut price deal for Paulo Bernardo.
Oh has even left the club for a tidy £4.5m fee (adding to the £8m received for selling Abada) and we still haven’t replaced Korean striker despite Kyogo currently being our only option up front. Where is the enthusiasm to get things done? Granted we don’t have a head of recruitment (yet another example of the club’s attitude to recruitment) but surely Brendan has a list of targets he would like to see at the club?
Talking of Brendan, surely he must feel as frustrated as the rest of us when it comes to the club’s inability to get new faces to the club? His recent words at media conferences have suggested, to me at least, that he is.
The club have shown that they care not a jot about the supporters, that is very clear. We’ve renewed our season tickets and bought our merchandise, yet they still treat us like mugs. Although we only have ourselves to blame for the blind faith we continue to adopt when it comes to Celtic football club.
Maybe I’m wrong and the club will pull a couple of top drawer signings out of the hat, or maybe not. If they do I will gladly eat my words, but it’s all looking frustratingly bleak at the moment.
Three weeks to sort it out Celtic, and you could start by reaching an agreement with Norwich for Adam Idah.
