Celtic’s summer transfer window has been 'bewildering, unacceptable and ridiculous' | Hotline Live

strong to do with Scot they're strong enough and um on a day be too far too strong for everyone in Scotland but they do need additions especially for Europe and for the long campaign ahead so there's an admittance B Ro after the game admitted they do they' have to spend the money and there's been mistakes made this summer to get into this stage of the window having no real new Outfield players on the books I mean I know they brought in Bernard Bernard who were already clear their desks from last year so can't really count that but to get to this position with five days to go is bewildering unacceptable ridiculous you name and I think there an acceptance within the club that that is the case that this is just Madness I mean it's it's self self-inflicted stress they could done without and now they're going to have to pay over the odds because the last week the window was not a time going shopping you might get some loan deals and the occasional little kind of player who's getting discarded by somebody else but if you want to buy quality you're going to end up paying right through the nose this week so having have endeed all summer on on transfers are now going to pay more than would have paid a month ago and that's their own their own D but they'll need to to bring in three or four proper players in the next week or there's going to be helpy and the fans are really going to be angry because 25 or 26 million up front for a Ry coming in to go on top of the pil it's already there if that money is not getting spent or a portion of it there's going to be heal to pay the said I mean and and understandably so Kieran Conley who's written in on record Sports social media channels and I should say if you're watching at home get involved in the comment section Conley says the board has let the manager and the fans down massively there's absolutely no excuse H they can use as to why things have been left this late and it all points to incompetence and on top of that mck as well there's a video down the rounds on social media today of of Peter lwell leaving the stadium and getting stick off the fans it does feel like it's a a bigger week than it should be for Celtic if you know what I mean they're cruising on the pitch but this is a massive massive week for the club as a whole it is I mean I was touching on I mean this is a a summer when Celtic could really have put the foot down and really strengthened across the board I mean the money they've got in the bank the money they new was in for for Ry this this point in time they really had a chance to kind of elevate the club to different l and you look at the Champions League format the new format to get into The Knockout stages finishing between 9th and 24th out of 32 that shouldn't be unrealistic but as it stands just now Celtic the same Squad as last season We Care in fact M was one of the best performers in Europe last season the prospect now is that they're going to be really really struggle at that level that's the reality they're good for Scotland but not for for for Europe they need to elevate that Squad and they needed to delate the squad in last January need to do it last summer they lost J and it wasn't done so now in the third window and it's not been done so it's it's malfunctioning the recruitment say of things has not has not been working and I think there acceptance behind the scenes that is the case certainly today was it's self-inflicted this this situation um and the question is now have managed to get what two or three new signs in over the summer in three months can they get three four five in the next five days who knows it's going to be really tricky um but need to they all need to and they will do I think they will do they may end up paying more than they probably should do for some guys and it'll be inter you what actually lands I think they probably get two or three permanent deals in a couple of loan deals maybe surpris I think so it's going a busy week um but from game Sunday as well so none of these guys are going to be involved Sunday you could argue you don't need them for that for that for that weekend should be goodby without them but Europe's three four weeks away now as well um it just seems so needless to be the situation when they could have really put the foot down in the summer and and took their Club to kind of different level but they dithered and died and now they're they're running about with the Supermarket Sweep in the last weeky what they can
