Close season so its time for a transfer thread......

Brings up an interesting point, Cairnsybhoy79 -- why AREN'T we in the "same league"? A hypothetical question of course, but bear in mind that all the professional sports leagues in the US have Canadian teams, so why couldn't a Scottish team play in England?
I've always been all for joining the prem it's obviously the smaller teams not wanting two places took which I understand also but it would make that league even better they know celtic especially would become huge with that kind of investment from sky if only eh

It would be a tougher job getting the fans to go to away matches and it could possibly disconnect some from the club altogether.
Some of us are still trying to get our heads round SITTING during a match!

Teams in engerland don’t want us there, there a few reasons, huns rampage through EVERY town they visit, scum is, what scum does, they all see Celtic as the sporting wing of the IRA, IRA doesn’t have much support in engerland due to bombing campaigns over a number of decades, the top level teams don’t want to loose there place at the big table, provincial clubs with very little support, with home crowds of 10k get £60-80 million for being in the premier league, Scottish champions get £5 million for winning the league

We’d have to start in the 4th tier of English football and work our way up, 4 years of very little income, no European money, we wouldn’t just be parachuted into the top league….

but it sky sports demand it it could happen….

Kyogo Furuhashi has left Japan en route to London where he will isolate. Conflicting stories whether isolation is 10 days, or 5 days if he has a negative CPR test. Ange was the latter but couldn’t or didn’t come to Scotland immediately (different rules?)
At least he is match fit so could be in the squad for Hearts game.

If it's 10 day quarantine, I doubt he will play against Hearts which is in only 11 days.

English FA pump in too much money from the championship down all clubs get a sweetner and huge cash injections for there youth leagues and development ,it's pie in the sky us going down there it will never happen

Scotlands football would be better served if it wasn't run by masons who are only interested in bending the rules for one club , the english FA got there act together and have a structure in place that serves the needs of every member club

we have bingo callers some of the dumbest fkwits ever shat out in this world no qualifications for the job and not an ounce of business sense

were in the wrong movie and there's fkn no chance of it ever changing
 
I wondered how long it would take...not that long apparently! Ange now coming up against the realities of being a Celtic manager working under this board.

"We probably hesitated a couple of times and could have moved faster on some things," the Celtic boss said.

"That hasn't helped us. In normal circumstances these processes are fairly straightforward. Get a player, sign him, take him on a plane, take a photo and away he goes.

Sorry tae burst yer bubble Ange but what you're up against now....well these are 'normal circumstances' for Celtic, nothing is ever 'straightforward'! Getting a player, signing him, getting him on a plane, taking a photo and away he goes unfortunately isn't how things work here so ye better get used tae that!
So - sick saying it. Why add to difficulties, during a world wide health crisis too , by getting new players from all over the world -= except Scotland ! Would we not be happier for tonight's game with Kerr or McCart, McCann, Ferguson, Nisbet in by now. Would you not for now even rather have Rooney or O'Donnell at right back than what we have at RB. No quarantining, unknown talent etc. We insist on making it hard.

I get your point for a quick short term solution big Maz, but believe we are building for the future with a higher level of stability.
All the players you named would hardly be starters for us once we get the players into the club.
So do you see it as good business sence to pay out millions on players just for a very short term fix, with still being not of the quality that Ange thinks we need?
The only one imo worth considering could be Nesbitt, but for 4M could be to much still if we are to reinvest on hopefully the sell of eddy
