DC is right.
No way are Celtic going to splash out £20m on fees and pay the wages that such a player would command.
I’d be stunned if we even bought another £9m player again in the foreseeable unless it was after we had had them on loan and effectively had guaranteed a performance level as Edouard did. We didn’t just go out and pay £9m for someone we’d merely had scouted. He had been with us for some time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree - if the right player becomes available Celtic would spend £9/£10M. Do agree though that we wouldn’t buy two at that money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree asking for 2 at £10M is a bit far fetched but its not unreasonable to expect Celtic to pay £10M if the right player became available.Lets face it if we want to keep FF and Ely then they are going to cost at least that each!!
Just think that NOW was the time to make a statement of intent to the fans but then PL has never really been one for doing that.As i have said before i still think we have by far a stronger squad than Rangers and should still be able to win this title but the right signings at this time would have really sent a message .Lets face it whats the point of having a huge financial advantage and NOT using it?

Would you seriously put McGinn on same level as a CL winner. 😂

That wasn't the point you were attempting (badly) to make though.

Why blow £10m on a player to possibly win the League? Yes of course there is the potential for a good return via CL money - but that is it - just potential. You buy a £10m player and he has to be right at it from the get go - there are only 5 months left of the season. Big gamble and one that Celtic will not take.

Spot on. We could still spend a significant amount on one player before end of Jan. would be a massive statement from the club.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you have a financial advantage then dont bother using it in case it doesnt work out?? If that was the case then no cant would buy anyone and the transfer market would cease to exist
As soon as you start buying players for the short-term the game is up. However, for Celtic (or Rangers), it is no bigger risk buying now to potentially get into the CL qualifiers as it is buying in August in the middle of those biggest ties of the season that decide that achievement?

We DO buy players (projects ) for the short term though ALL of our squad is for sale at the right price.

They will not spend that this window it’d be fiscal madness
Celtic tend not to do that
May buy the odd dud like most dudes but they’re no daft

There does seem to be an element of 'panic' buying by Lennon TBF. Has seen his team schooled in the last 2 OF games (yes they won the Final) and is shall we say, a bit perturbed to say the least.

I don't mind us 'blowing' £7m on Kent. I think he is a great wee player and was noticeably absent last night.
Potentially has a good sell-on value if it comes to that. As ever - we will see how things pan out.

I still don't believe Celtic winning the Title is a foregone conclusion, Rangers are much better than recent seasons and Celtic fans thinking otherwise are mental.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was the whole point of my post.I do think we are still the stronger squad but the fact that Rangers are now much better than the rest of the league means its going to be really tight and NOW was the time to use the financial advantage we have over them IMHO
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spot on. We could still spend a significant amount on one player before end of Jan. would be a massive statement from the club.

DC is right.
No way are Celtic going to splash out £20m on fees and pay the wages that such a player would command.
I’d be stunned if we even bought another £9m player again in the foreseeable unless it was after we had had them on loan and effectively had guaranteed a performance level as Edouard did. We didn’t just go out and pay £9m for someone we’d merely had scouted. He had been with us for some time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree - if the right player becomes available Celtic would spend £9/£10M. Do agree though that we wouldn’t buy two at that money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree asking for 2 at £10M is a bit far fetched but its not unreasonable to expect Celtic to pay £10M if the right player became available.Lets face it if we want to keep FF and Ely then they are going to cost at least that each!!
Just think that NOW was the time to make a statement of intent to the fans but then PL has never really been one for doing that.As i have said before i still think we have by far a stronger squad than Rangers and should still be able to win this title but the right signings at this time would have really sent a message .Lets face it whats the point of having a huge financial advantage and NOT using it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why blow £10m on a player to possibly win the League? Yes of course there is the potential for a good return via CL money - but that is it - just potential. You buy a £10m player and he has to be right at it from the get go - there are only 5 months left of the season. Big gamble and one that Celtic will not take.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you have a financial advantage then dont bother using it in case it doesnt work out?? If that was the case then no cant would buy anyone and the transfer market would cease to exist

As soon as you start buying players for the short-term the game is up. However, for Celtic (or Rangers), it is no bigger risk buying now to potentially get into the CL qualifiers as it is buying in August in the middle of those biggest ties of the season that decide that achievement?

By all means go for it. Go get a £10m player and then pay out the same again on wages to win the league.
I hope you do blow such coin TBH.

We DO buy players (projects ) for the short term though ALL of our squad is for sale at the right price.

They will not spend that this window it’d be fiscal madness
Celtic tend not to do that
May buy the odd dud like most dudes but they’re no daft
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There does seem to be an element of 'panic' buying by Lennon TBF. Has seen his team schooled in the last 2 OF games (yes they won the Final) and is shall we say, a bit perturbed to say the least.

I don't mind us 'blowing' £7m on Kent. I think he is a great wee player and was noticeably absent last night.
Potentially has a good sell-on value if it comes to that. As ever - we will see how things pan out.
