After only two new players were added to the team in January, Brendan Rodgers acknowledges that Celtic has to be “braver” in the transfer market moving forward.
Celtic needs to be “braver,” in Brendan Rodgers’ opinion, in their upcoming transfer market transactions. 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 agree with supporters who believe we could potentially be a little more daring in terms of bringing in players of a higher caliber,” he remarked. However, it is my responsibility to attempt to correct it while I am still here.Looking at this approach, you need to exercise caution because it has proven effective in certain situations. Players are brought in at a low cost, and they go on to provide significant revenue for the team.
We can still do that since it’s a crucial component of the current game, and that’s what I intend to balance in my time here. However, we also aspire to have the guts to throw on the towel and accept a ready-made player.Thus, while I completely appreciate the help, the player also needs 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.
“You can’t just put the blame solely on the recruitment team. They had a job to do, just like everyone else does. But this is a collective responsibility, and I would say that I understand the structure and where we were at in the summer. After coming here and seeing where we are now, I even better understand it. It’s just about the level of player. We could have brought in players to round out the roster, but that’s not what this team needs. This team needs a level of player that will allow the team to advance.
