Celtic Transfers: What is ‘wild and unexplained’ for Brendan Rodgers and Premiership champions? | FOOTBALL NEWS

You would expect a powerful transfer window to alleviate some tension in Celtic, which could not reach the Champions League and asked the board of directors to go. Instead, things got worse.

Although Hoops supporters could not score a goal against Kairat Almaty and former company competitors Rangers, they wonder how they weakened the transfer window and how another striker ended.

Last month, after a goalless first leg of the Champions League play-off in Glasgow, they saw the board as a sack sack, and they were growing because they could not be entitled to the Elite competition before they play an unforgettable 0-0 against Rangers in Ibrox.

Celtic added a player to the transfer day on the last date – wing player Sebastian Tounekti, joined Hammarby in exchange for £ 5.2 million at the last minute, and the manager Brendan Rodgers waited for Tunus International to “make a big difference”.

But does the manager believe it will be enough this season? Why did not have more investment in the team with £ 100 million in the bank? Do they think that they already have enough in the building for European football while continuing their domestic domination?

Here, we try to address these questions and more after a forgetful window for KELT fans …

What happened in Celtic on the deadline?

The support of the circles continued to hope for some last day drama, but things worsened than bad.

Celtic, Andherlecht made the striker Kasper Dolberg’s number one targets and seemed to be able to reduce him to an 8.5 million pounds agreement before deciding to return to Ajax before deciding to return to Ajax.

Later, they tried to take David Datro Fofana from Chelsea – but he turned the club down and made an agreement with Charlton, even though it was not completed in time.

Meanwhile, Adam Idah, Swansea City, a medicine was passed, but Rodgers would not leave without a reserve, his choice. Has Parkhead board shared his feelings?

The window has remained less than five hours, and with attempts to sign a striker, Idah’s £ 7 million output was announced by the club.

The fact that Hyunjun Yang went to Birmingham, because Blues signed former Celtic player Patrick Roberts instead.

This meant that the only arrival before the window was closed, but they are meeting with Nigerian advanced Kelechi Iheanacho After being released by Sevilla, he is a free agent and can always sign.

Sutton: Celtic is weaker now

Kyogo Furuhashi took a long -term injury after leaving the previous window, Nicolas Kuhn left the door in July, and now he left.

Disappointed Rodgers and said Sky sports: “We have gaps that are very clear in the squad.

He continued: “I have to convince the board to force the players we really need. I hope, the players can get to the end of the transfer window.”

They all wanted two strikers and two wings before the Celtic transfer window was closed. However, only one of these gaps was filled in Tounekti.

The fans will be angry, undoubtedly the manager, Sky Sports’ Chris Sutton, “The most remarkable window of all time and Celtic was weaker than that.

“At least Celtic is doing everything they can to be a championship race this season.”

Does Celtic face a championship after domination?

Celtic is six points away from Rangers after just four games. However, his competitors strengthened this summer and made their most expensive signatures in 25 years on the last date day.

Then you have hearts supported by Tony Bloom, owner of Brighton, who targets at least the second point. As it stops, the levels of the champions at the top of the table are at the level.

Rodgers, especially Celtic’in last 210 -minute competitive football after scoring the attack options asked for attack options.

However, although the bank had 100 million pounds, half of the arrivals were free transfers or credit agreements. The fans wanted more and were afraid that the lack of spending could cause problems.

While talking Sky Sports NewsTino Callaghan from Celt Exchange Podcast: “Certainly wild, it cannot be explained how it comes to it.

“The fan is absolutely frustrating from the point of view. He’s also weakening Brendan Rodgers seriously. In the last few days, many of his words, Adam Idah said he wouldn’t go unless he was changed.

“We don’t have to change, and Kelechi Iheanacho may be the signature of this contract. which is quite embarrassing in itself.

“Let Dermot Desmond, Club [majority shareholder] or Michael Nicholson [chief executive] Or the Board of Directors certainly disappoints the manager and certainly disappointed fans.

“Celtic is doing the best of their best to raid a title that he hadn’t before, and you’ll say that people who look outside are on the table, you watch there and things are good. Things are not good and there is a model that begins to emerge.

“Celtic this window has signed 10 players, but how many will have an impact on the first team? Maybe Kieran Tierney and this is a concern.”

Rodgers’ position is no longer ‘defending’?

Rodgers insisted that he would leave Celtic before the end of his contract.

In the last year of the current three -year agreement, the manager discussed the future with the majority shareholder Dermot Desmond.

In 2019, when Leicester City decided to leave the middle of the season, he had anger anger, and the club was forced for another domestic treble.

However, if he were going to walk again, some think that the board of directors would be accepted more than the supporters after he was not perceived to support the man they re -appointed in 2023.

“HE [Brendan Rodgers] Paul John Dykes said from Mind Podcast, Paul John Dykes said, he did not continue, he wanted to develop, he wanted to move forward.

“Some of them seem to be the best dogs in Glasgow, and this is not enough for Rodgers, not enough for many fans.

“We want to push in Europe, we want to push and we were very successful in the European scene only six months ago, but we did not build it. We are talking about Brendan’s stay until the end of the season.

Callaghan added: “I think he leaves him in an almost defensible position. You couldn’t blame him on the days he walked in the coming days.

“The other side is walking from a £ 3 million year a year? This is not something you expect to see, but if Dermot Desmond and the Board of Directors decide that there are no men of Brendan, let’s find a conversation, mutual agreement and continue.

“What we have right now is this restless ceasefire between all parties and we take what we see in the last few days.”

Who signed Celt this summer?

Kieran Tierney’s return from Arsenal to Parkhead was the first approved summer transfer after accepting a pre -agreement with the defensive childhood club.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ross Doohan returned to a three -year agreement after leaving Aberdeen.

Celtic later added Benjamin Nygren from FC Nordsjaelland with an agreement worth approximately 2 million pounds and the wing player signed a five -year agreement.

Defender Hayato joined Inamura Albirex Niigata, and Shin Yamada moved from the J-League side of Kawasaki Frontale-both of them are in four years of agreements.

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey of Man City has accepted a season for Glasgow, and the club also secured the signed youth advanced Callum Osmand free from Fulham, who was thought to be one of the future.

The wing player Michel-Cenge Balikwisha joined £ 5 million from Royal Antwerp and secured the left back Marcelo Saracchi with a loan from Boca Juniors.

Finally, Sebastian Tounekti made a five -year agreement from 5.2 million pounds on the last date day from Hammarby.
