The former Hoops striker admits in his latest Record Sport column that he wants his old club to turn up the transfer heat in the next fortnight.
But there are now less than two weeks to really start rattling on the window and making a proper noise because Celtic need it to happen. Let’s not waste words here. Celtic, for the levels the manager and the club are trying to reach, are stretched. It’s hardly what you would call breaking point, but the squad needs additions of quality to compete both in Europe and at home.
The Pole and Lagerbielke are undoubtedly the future, but Celtic need the now and the sight of Carter-Vickers going off injured at Aberdeen exposed a lack of depth. Stephen Welsh did well and now has signed a new contract, but is he the long-term answer? Further forward, there have been glimpses from Hyunjun Yang, such as the way he made Matt O’Riley’s goal at Aberdeen. But surely Celtic aren’t expecting the South Korean to be the one to fill Jota’s explosive boots. That’s an awfully big task.
I have to admit, some of the stuff around Kyogo Furuhashi amuses me. Listening to some people, you’d think he’d been asked to play in goal. Kyogo is coming deeper into the game to link the game. So what? Across the pitch, I see more pressing examples in the changes from Postecoglou. For instance, Greg Taylor was excellent last season playing that inverted role. He’s a talented player and the system which Postecoglou deployed and the way he utilised his full-backs suited him. Taylor could come central and get on the ball. Make passes and help to create.
