Brendan Rodgers declared himself delighted with his first transfer window as Celtic manager, which is now over, after the additions of Kolo Toure, Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele, Dorus de Vries and Cristian Gamboa.
Toure, Dembele and Sinclair, the managers three primary targets, were acquired early, while de Vries and right back, Gamboa, were added recently. Deals went close to the wire today but the hoped-for midfield player (which was never James McCarthy) didn’t materialise.
A permanent deal for a (known around these parts) central defender to backfill Jozo Simunovic, who was wanted by Torino, couldn’t be tied up either, so Torino also look to have missed their target.
You’ll hear direct from the manager soon enough but he’s got the calibre of recruit he wanted – which he didn’t know would be possible three months ago.
There was never anything possible to make a formidable Champions League group look any easier, but we’ll compete at the top table, and we’ll wipe the floor with all-comers domestically.
More tomorrow.

i’m kind of glad we didn’t sign James Morrison. It would have been peyote and whisky in the dressing room before the game, shagging at half time, indian spirits and poetry in the post match interview…, wee jamesie would have been led astray by Jim pulling his nob out on the pitch….doesn’t bear thinking about

(of a paedophile) prepare (a child) for a meeting, especially via an Internet chat room, with the intention of committing a sexual offence.
Cambridge English Dictionary
the criminal activity of becoming friends with a child, especially over the internet, in order to try to persuade the child to have a sexual relationship
You were either mischievous in using the term or ill-advised. Either way you try and cut it, the implication is there. Can you at least be up front and admit which it was and, in consideration of others in here, refrain from using the term again in acceptance of its vile implication?
Thank you in advance!
