Summer transfer thread

Posted this on ticket thread but relevant here...Hibs social media in overdrive. Season tickets, testimonial and Europa cup game, buy buy buy tickets.

Yet 3 signings, one of which on loan and could be back up (goalie). 10th July now and no sign of Neil Lennon.

Fans continue to step up and be counted. Time for club to seal the deals very very soon so we are ready for new season 3 weeks on Saturday. Our whole transfer strategy cannot be based on McGinn going or not surely?

I’d say our transfer strategy is mostly based around the amount of fans we get through the gates.

You're right. Can't believe we've not just gone out and signed as many free agents as possible no matter how good they are like a certain club from Edinburgh. Actually bringing in quality takes time. How many signings have Celtic made so far in this window?

I keep reading this and then Juve signed probably the best player in the world

Think this is quite a sensible approach.

Exactly. Hearts have signed a guy who while I wouldn’t want him is apparently on 40k a week down south and it never took them long to negotiate the percentage they were paying etc. Olly Lee looks a good signing aswell. Rangers have signed a good few players, some of them of decent pedigree. But the same people will probably still be telling us after the Motherwell game how things take time, they’re not worried and everyone should relax like they are.

What would annoy me is if it takes months and months and then we end up with a loan on the last few days of the transfer window. That isn't it taking time, that suggests waiting to see what becomes available, that is a risky game and is reliant on other teams plans rather than our own. Surely there are good players out of contract? Dundee signed Kamara for free.

They've also signed another guy today on a pre contract David Vanecek. Thats 12 signings.

Right. Let’s get rid of George Craig, Lennon, Parker and Dempster and appoint Calumhibee1 to sort everything out. 😂

It is disgusting when we have so called rules regarding financial fairplay in football, no way can Juventus afford Ronaldo, Higuain, Dybala, Cuadrado, Chiellini, Pjanic, etc. from funds raised within the club. Maybe they will be selling quite a few but that fee and those wages for Ronaldo will absorb almost half of their turnover annually (if they have an equally good season). Of course they will get a lot through shirt sales etc. but not enough to cover 200m for Ronaldo alone.

Write to your mp about it.

There are but why would good players take the first offer they get? If I was in their position I would be hoping for a better offer from England.....

[WhileTheChief..]

Hearts’ squad was rank last season so they needed to bring in shed loads of new players.

I’d take our squad as it is today over everyone else’s in the league bar Celtic.

Anyone we do bring in will be of the quality to go straight into the first team, we don’t need loads of bodies for the sake of it.

Depends if we are still in Europe and how we do in the league. If Hearts sign 12 players and finish above us and we sign 5 and do poor, no I won't be happy. Quality is important but we are terribly short on quantity. Hearts new signings almost amount to how many senior players we have at the club at the moment, and I'd expect 3 of our senior players will be leaving (at least). Boyle injury = change of shape, Stevenson injury = youngster thrown in or change of shape. We have very little cover, if we had a injury crisis (as we have had in the past) we'd be very very short.

Waiting does not mean we are assured of quality. Deivydas Matulevicius was signed in mid-to-late July was he not? If waiting meant quality without any doubt, I'd be relaxed and super excited to see when #AnnounceMessi was trending. I hope we get quality in, Kamberi and Maclaren reunited would still mean 1 bad injury and Shaw is playing every week. Shaw looks a great prospect but ready to play every week, probably not yet. Same goes for Murray who I think will be leaving.

I'm sure Ronaldo, Messi etc. have been involved in tax evasion cases because they were trying to secure as much of their money so they can then give it to charity...

Everyone expected to give money to help with poverty apart from the filthy rich? Not sure the point you are trying to make. Rich people can have a greater effect on poverty, especially in numbers.

Put a cap on football players wages, Dundee FC can't even pay their workers minimum wage ffs. Capitalism is a bad thing if that happens.

Pretty sure the tax evasion was to do with image rights, it's a bit of a grey area.

Why has a transfer thread suddenly turned into a Celtic game discussion?

Likewise. You’d think a PR drive to encourage further ticket sales would be a good way to increase the budget! 💡
