Brendan Rodgers’ Revelation: Celtic’s Bold Transfer Strategy Unveiled – Only Two Signings in January

In his opinion, Brendan Rodgers feels that Celtic needs to be “braver” in their upcoming trades.

On deadline day, the manager added striker Adam Idah to his roster on a loan from Norwich; earlier, he had signed £3 million Rapid Vienna winger Nicolas Kuhn.

In light of his persistent appeals for higher caliber players to be added after a disappointing summer, the number of new arrivals was far less than anticipated.

The Parkhead owner claims that despite the best efforts of those in the background, multiple negotiations fell through due to the clubs’ refusal to sell.

However, he thinks that supporters won’t feel as let down going forward unless the board is willing to reevaluate the amount they are willing to spend on players with a track record of success.

While expressing sympathy to fans who believe the team already has the financial clout to pay higher transfer fees, Rodgers says he would now try to persuade his bosses to adopt a more daring strategy.

‘I would go with supporters thinking we could maybe be a little bit braver in terms of bringing in another level of player,’ he said. ‘But that’s up to me to try and fix that over the course of my time here.

‘You look at the strategy here and you have to be careful because in some ways it has worked. You bring in players for a minimal fee and then they go out and make the club a lot of money.

‘What I want to hopefully balance in my time here is that we can still do that, because it is an important part of the modern game. But we also want to be brave enough to hang our hat on a ready-made player.

‘So, I totally understand the support, but, likewise, that player has to be available.’

Even though the manager was obviously annoyed that he could only bring in two players, he was hesitant to assign responsibility. “The team put forth a great deal of effort to support and enhance the team,” he said. Therefore, no fingers may be pointing in that direction.

“It cannot simply be labeled on the hiring team.” It was obvious that the recruitment crew had a task to do, just as everyone else does. However, I would argue that we all have a collective responsibility for this, and I am aware of where we were during the summer. Now that I’ve been here and where we are, I even better grasp the framework.

“Unfortunately, that’s the way it is if that’s not available or we couldn’t quite get the player to the club.”

He went on to explain why the anticipated influx of players had not materialized, saying, “We looked at a number of players that just didn’t quite fit or wouldn’t have improved what we had in certain positions.”

There were been instances in which the opposing club was involved. There was an openness to include players here, but it had to be reciprocated.

A few players expressed a strong desire to attend, but the club refused to let them.
