Whether it is Paul Tisdale or someone else Celtic have identified Breum as a first team player, a successor to Kuhn. Surely he is valued at more than £1.5m? The sort of fee wasted two years ago on the dubious talent of Marco Tilio from the A-League.
Taking players on loan from Manchester City was a feature of Celtic a decade ago when sections of the stadium would be closed, getting thrown a few projects to bolster a team that lacked purpose with little aspirations or ambitions to be competing in the Champions League.
Every passing week of the transfer window creates greater tension across the club but after last night’s match there surely can’t be anyone making a case for Marco Tilio.
In this day and age of communications people can work remotely but with the start of the SPFL a week away and a Champions League qualifier three matches away Tisdale should be on the job 24/7.
It’s embarrassing he even needs to emphasise that what football club doesn’t want too progress and push forward board are a joke
However, if you want to progress, then, as I said, you need to bring in quality and that’s something that we hopefully can do.
There was no hint of ‘unsavoury scenes’ on Celtic TV but that wasn’t going to stop Pilcher from delivering the sort of content that the Record website thrives on.
Without question commercial matters are essential to the well being of a football club, without shirt sales and all of the associated items Celtic and other clubs would struggle or have to raise ticket prices to retain income levels.
Referencing that a lot of hard work is going on behind the scenes is a favoured phrase from Rodgers, used when it appears that the club has ran out of ideas on how to improve the first team squad with a £3m ceiling imposed on transfer fees.
Last season’s Champions League campaign should have put the club in a position of strength, one to kick on from and become an attractive place for players to go. Instead they look vulnerable, happy to cash in while the going is good, preparing for the inevitable rainy day.
