In the last 2 seasons we have seen Celtic spend more money than at any other time in our clubs history.
Incredible goings on in Ange's first season as we put our faith in the manager and backed him as did the club.
In the space of 4 transfer windows Ange brought 29 players to the club 29 for a price of approximately £48 million.
There were 12 notable departures amongst whom were guys like Rogic, Bitton, Lustig stalwart champions, serial champions but the numbers of players out was higher than 12 that's just notable transfers out.
Those sales of players meant Celtic brought in approximately £42 million.
Giving our highest spending manager of all time an overall spend of *£48million
with an overall sales figure of *£42million.
Lucky rich man Ange had a net spend of *£6.395 million. That is nothing for a club like Celtic, it was the quality of the turnaround and the calibre of replacements for every position.
Given that Ange is our highest ever spending manager yet he only really used £6.3 million of the clubs transfer kitty once the dust settked upon all our deals.
In fact at the end of the day ange spent roughly the equivalent of financing CCV or Jota's signature.
Q). How much if we're guessing do you/we think that Rodgers will have available to spend in his promised " war chest " this war chest we're told will be more than Ange's and Celtic's biggest ever transfer war chest?
Already heard Rodgers saying we won't/can't be signing players for £20 million, but might see Edouards fee surpassed.
Anges almost £50 million I'm certain was dependant upon our sales reaching a certain level, £30 million perhaps?
I believe this based upon his appointment being a gamble.
We already know that we are likely to lose some main men who'll be difficult to replace but I'm sure the board surely will be more savvy than we were with Giakoumakis and Juranovic and we will recieve transfer fees more realistic than those two sales which ordinarily Id've expected £30 million combined at least for both.
I'm guessing that Rodgers will have around £60 million to spend over a number of windows, dependant upon cash recieved for players sales out.
Oriley, Maeda, Abada, Starfelt , Kyogo, Johnstone, we will be tested by the English clubs for these players .
Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and Portugal are but some of the nations keeping close tabs on us, makes sense, we keep producing top players, Frimpong and KT still likely to bring in more. .
Its safe to say that the days of Celtic players going to lower EPL clubs first and proving themselves good enough is over.
Players like VVD , Wanyama, KT have put that myth to bed.
Followed up by Dembele, Juranovic, Frimpong moving straight into top sides in the top 5 leagues.
We're an automatic entry champions league side littered with internationals, Scottish and foreign ones alike capable of performing at the highest levels around the world .
Huge improvement on the international scene too for Scotland hasn't gone unnoticed.
No section for this but another question just to ensure this isn't too short.
Q ii) Knowing this will be Celtic's biggest ever tranfer fund are you expecting Rodgers to break the Odsonne Edouard record buy and smash the current record of £9 million?
For Q ii) leave acontroversial comment, Rodgers has already said there'll be no stars in this team, no room for ego's , no £20 million players but what about £10-£15 million?
Dreaming? /away with the faeries?/
I've made this rambling post into a poll just for a laugh/to be annoying/I'm bored/I can/ I'm genuinely interested.
Please just humour me, trying to pass the Celtic time.
