Dorus De Vries (Reported fee around 350k)
A failed attempt at replacing Craig Gordon with a sweeper keeper type, that was quickly back tracked after a few less than convincing performances. Now back up to the back up i think.
Scott Bain (Free)
Brought in to provide cover, did well in his first Old Firm. Can be little complaints about him.
Emilio Izaguirre (Free)
Brought back in after being sold to provide cover at LB. Unlikely to see much of him after a season finishing 8th in Saudi Arabia.
Cristian Gamboa (1.1m)
Embarrassing CL performance aside, he can't displace the rapidly declining Lustig at right back. Makes you question why buy him in the first place if you're going to show so little faith in him.
Jack Hendry (1.5m)
A vanity project for Rodgers seems to be the fans take on him. Looks lost, recent woeful performances would suggest he's going to lose his place if they can get another defender in.
Marvin Compper (1m)
Reliably informed he does exist. A mental signing.
Kolo Toure (Free)
Actually did well when he was needed. Goes to show Brendan watching MOTD for the best part of 15 years can help him spot a talented defender. Shown no sign of repeating this trick though.
Eboue Kouassi - 3m
Abysmal, 3m for a midfielder who can't do the basics of the game. A stick to beat Brent with. Little signs of any potential either which makes it more puzzling.
Kundai Benyu (Free)
Being papped out on loan to Oldham suggests he's struggling to perform better than Kouassi which in itself is a death sentence for a career in professional football.
Oliver Ntcham (4.5m)
A good signing, his talent was spotted long before Brenda got involved though hence why he was at City and playing Serie A. Not good enough to cut it at City but has looked at home for Celtic most of the time.
Patrick Roberts (Second Spell Loan)
Injured and Dung.
Scott Sinclair (3m)
A decent if frustrating player. Performed very well in his first season, not good enough in his second but he's match winner. Was a high profile addition which seems to be the only area Brendan can get decent players from.
Jonny Hayes (1m)
A fee which funnily enough is how much compensation we all deserve for looking at that face. Struggled with injuries but never good enough to start with.
Lewis Morgan (300k-500k)
A talented youngster. Jury still out but should be displacing Hayes with ease.
Charly Musonda (Loan, fee undisclosed)
Like his Belgian counterpart Boyata, seemed not to like the club. A complete failure and the loan was ripped up because of it.
Oddson Edouard (6m if you listen to JFK, 9m if you take the papers)
A good signing, plenty of room to improve and a classy striker.
So how many successes has he had?
1. Edouard
2. Sinclair
3. Ntcham
4. Bain
5. Toure
This is his 3rd season and he's made 3 successful high profile signings and 1 backup keeper + stop gap CB. Once he's operating in a market where talent spotting is less obvious/high profile he's really struggling.
Failures.
1. Musonda
2. De Vries
3. Hendry
4. Gamboa
5. Roberts
6. Hayes
7. Kouassi
8. Benyu
9. Compper
Jury's out.
1. Morgan
2. Izaguirre
How confident are Celtic fans that he is the man to identify and sign your new CB and RB that fans have been crying out for?

HJK get 30% of an sell on fee, allegedly!

I heard that as well.
Also heard that the agent gets 30%, and Morelos negotiated 35% in his new contract.
My source has never been wrong.

He's a right back with two legs and even has lungs. We should sign him.
