August is a perilous time for predictions. Teams are still working on fitness, new arrivals are often learning the language, and until the window closes, players can still come and go, affecting the performance of anyone competing for the title.
That’s easy for us to say, though. Across the city, all they can see is the unstoppable Celtic machine grinding all before it on the way to four-in-a-row. I doubt our optimism, or Newco’s pessimism are a full reflection on the reality of where we are.
Celtic are by far the stronger side right now, but we have to prepare for a guaranteed eight Champions League games. Only three times in our history have we played as many games in a European competition proper. Do you think we have the bandwidth to cope with that load?
We have two strikers, one left back and the manager seems to trust only two central defenders. A lot could change between now and the turn of the year.

I’d say Brendan comes across much happier and content than he did early last season, almost like a reverse honeymoon period for a new coach/manager.
Interesting article from a Liverpool perspective on the clash of player data and Brendan’s old school approach.
My gut feeling is that Brendan is now thinking long term and what he does next after coaching, i.e. director of football

and
I cannot buy the scenario that Brendan’s involvement in our transfer policy is akin to his relationship with a Dating Agency.
Go and get me three Eastern European blondes who must all be around 6ft tall
One must be good in the Kitchen
One must be good elsewhere
& One must have a GSOH
Photos of Brendan are then shown to every Eastern European Blonde on the Dating Agency’s website and they all reply “No Thanks!”
Dating Agency tells Brendan he’s gonna have to accept a Maltese girl of 5ft 4 who’s not really blond but is willing to dye her hair.
Brendan then blames the Dating Agency as being the reason he is an INCEL.
————————————-
It’s an unbelievable scenario, isn’t it?. Brendan is a part of the Dating Agency/ Recruitment team. Any failure to land the targets is owned by him AND the other members of the team.

He gets a lot of info before anyone in the mainstream media. Some of it is true, a lot is just rumors
Kyogo just switched agents, it’s probably them trying to get a better deal out of Celtic. Maybe Brendan’s comments about Kyogo shoulder was him shutting them up

🚨🔵 Manchester City are considering a move for Kyogo Furuhashi from Celtic, one of the options for winger position.
Im putting my neck on the block and saying city won’t buy kyogo from us as a winger
But what if they did ? 😬 😬

Looks like Fabrizio picked the wrong Kyogo.
Six foot tall Eastern European Blondes…

Big toes?

what do we think on the new 3rd strip?
No way VAR can rule us offside wearing that……….
Still haven’t seen the 3rd kit
Coneybyoy/ BSR. – 🤣🤣🤣

Talking of kits, I bought two Athletico Bilbao tops for my boys at their shop at the game last week when we were on holiday. They didn’t have many different sizes, and the machine that prints the names on the back wasn’t working so they couldn’t get Williams Jr on the backs. Expensive too
They are made by the Huns kit manufacturer Castore and the difference in quality between them and the Celtic second shirt my eldest got from his grandpa for his birthday was huge. As one pointed out last night the badge isn’t in the right place, there’s stitching coming undone, the stitching isn’t straight.
We pay a lot for them but the Celtic kits really are good quality and the styles are cool enough for teenagers to wear as normal tops

How did you guess?

9 days to go in the window. Currently we need 3-4 additions to improve the team (.esp for Europe). We may have to contend with losing 1-2 first team players.
What an absolute mess we could be in. What the feck is the board /recruitment team doing.
Spending time promoting strips and watching YouTube videos of players?
All the momentum built is about to see major disruption. Shocking state of affairs , esp for critical positions we have lacked for years , CB and LB
