What do we need in January.

[Weedocbhoy60]

In no particular order I believe we need.......
. A left back. I cannot fault Taylor's work rate or effort. It's just that other teams (home and abroad) see him as the weakest link and a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
. A holding midfielder. A dyed-in-the-wool, tough tackling holding midfielder. This will allow Calmac to do his best work further forward.
. A striker. We need someone for our wide players to aim for in the 18yard box. So 6ft plus please.
No more projects or players "to be developed" for the furure. Lennoxtown has more than enough.
So bhoys and ghirls, what/who would you like see......

We’ll get none of those.
The Lawwells will provide...
An ex Benfica B winger now playing as a wing back in a bottom of the league Portuguese team
A Korean league midfield ‘prospect’
A Japanese ‘project’ striker
And a passed it EPL player for a position that we are probably already covered in

 

[Gary67]

What we do need is.
A goalkeeper, as we did in the summer. Someone to come in and challenge/replace Hart in the second half of the season.
A left back, as we did in the summer, who can overlap and deliver good passes/crosses into the box. This will also improve Palma.
A more defensive minded midfielder, but one who can pass the ball forward to start attacks.
A right winger, assuming Abada will be leaving either this month or in the summer.
Another striker, even If just to cover for the Asia Cup

Basically we need what the manager asked for in the summer. Players who’ll challenge for first team starts from the beginning and the addition of some physicality, power and pace.

We also need a clear out of about a dozen players starting in January and certainly by the summer.
Siegrist, Bernabei, Philips, Kobayashi, Lagerbielke, McCarthy, Kwon, Tilio and Turnbull can all go in January with the likes of Ralston, Welsh, Nawrocki, Bernardo, Iwata, Oh, MJ and Yang playing for their futures until the summer

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

I think we need five more small, lightweight attacking midfielders (maximum 5'7" & 9 stone) who are no more than 20 years old and have played less than 30 first team games. Projects, projects, projects.

And make sure they don't arrive until 10:45pm on the 31st January, hopefully with a current injury so they won't be able to start training until Easter at the earliest.

Now, now. Will you lot stop, and have some consideration for Mark Lawell. Let him spend time playing with his new Christmas toys. It's not fair on the lad.

 

[POD]

Proper defensive central midfielder.
Two central strikers who can score
Big physically strong left full back.

But in reality, we will be lucky to get one player immediately up to the job needed. And that will probably be a winger.

If that is the case Gary then Rodgers should clearly state he doesn't need or want any of those players aforementioned.
It's madness and sheer arrogance from the board if they think they can continue with this signing policy knowing the outcry and noise building amongst the support after the last transfer fiasco.
The board will have more than the GB to deal with if this window is anything like is being suggested.

KYOGO FURUHASHI has taken just 95 games to hit the 60-goal mark for Celtic. Also no penalties.

 

[POD]

The mib's are going to be under even more enormous pressure now. To get his statistics up, and so justify the deal, it will have to be a Tavpen and a Fabpen, awarded every match now.

You forgot the... Over the hill Irish guy who's played golf with DD once and let him win to get on his good side... Widnae be a Celtic team without one of them... McCarthy just ain't doing it in that position is he..

Seen a pic of Silvas tattoo's, hope it ain't photo shopped.. .

And before someone asks.... Naw a canny..

I think we should sign shankland. I know he's a hun, but we've had many a hun over the years that done a job for us. He'd be ready to go too.

There is a lot of sarcasm going about (more than usual) today. Is this what they call a Christmas hangover ?

Or sitting at work with nobody else in, going a wee bit doolally!

I wasn't being that sarcastic - have you never seen a transfer window with Lawwell running the show? No there is a 2 generation tag team calling the shots then it won't get any better.

At least you got a laugh out of Steptoe and Son. And could relate to them. The Lawell's, together with Dermot Desmond, are the football equivalent of a cheapskate undertaking family. They would put CU Burn to shame. Apologies to those of you who have never seen it.

Yip....get him in on a a 3 year contract if only to win us the league he knows exactly what he is up against and would score at will when Kyogo cannie.
He would soon realise best 3 years of his career hun or not.

Boab and that’s before they see the Sacred Heart and Rosaries tattoos he has

 

[dmac]

A left back and midfielder who can win the ball when tackling for it and a striker who can bang in goals for fun isn't too much to ask for is it and if they have some money left to spend a top goalkeeper would top it all off.
