After an underwhelming transfer window Brendan Rodgers agrees with supporters that think Celtic could have been braver.
On January 16 Nicolas Kuhn was signed from Rapid Vienna for £3m, with an hour to spare before the window closed the club announced the loan signing of Adam Idah with no option to buy in the summer.
Celtic’s squad came up short in the Champions League with an exit at Matchday Five, that was soon followed by back-to-back defeats in the SPFL from Kilmarnock and Hearts that opened up the race for the title.
Going into the January transfer window Rodgers had spoken about adding quality and experience, with all respect to Kuhn and Idah the Starting XI has barely been strengthened with Greg Taylor out injured there is no over ready left-back to take his place.
? LISTEN: “I would go with supporters thinking we maybe could be a bit a little braver in terms of bringing in another level of player”.

3 minutes responds to supporter negativity over Transfer Window
Brendan is making excuses,
If he thought previous protests in the 90s were bad then he has seen nothing that protests this time will bring.
Other mob have 3 easy home league games in a row starting tomorrow.
We dont even have a good penalty player in our team and i dont rate Palma
at all… a fan dancer if ever there eas one

Why is this on Rodgers in your opinion?
Looks like Idah will be here as long as Rodgers – maybe longer.
Ha!
BR was well prepared, give him that.
Very diplomatic with the ‘collective responsibility’ angle.
Only dubiety is in the claim that it wasn’t for the lack of trying to
bring players in: the club made various enquiries, various players
wanted to come but their club didn’t want to do business…
yet no rumours / whispers seemed to make it into the public domain
during the transfer window.
Maybe I’m being unfair, but transfer windows are all about the rumours!
Doesn’t change anything though.
We’re just one SPL loss or draw away from a crisis, imo.
Do you think the board give a toss about the club , success , or the fans ? Not when the biggest shareholder is living the billionaire lifestyle of golf in California and the chairman is doing his invisible man impersonation . I’m looking forward to the announcements from Mr Lawwell jnr and Mr Nicholson on the tightwad January transfer window endured by the club and the fans ….those will be doozies ! Don’t hold your breath tho !
Sounds like he’s in on the act with the board. He can restart his sabbatical this summer with £3 million tucked away.
Meanwhile the huns are celebrating a treble.
He has played it very very cleverly…
There again he is a clever enough fella to be honest –
He has got his say in though for sure – subtlety enough to keep the fans onside without going overboard on the club ‘custodians’ on which he can only say so much in public…
It’s not as if he can vent his opinions on the board (his bosses) the way that I thankfully can get everything off a chest about them on here !
Why not?
Just a yes man same asLennon was.
