One could argue that before the January transfer window opens, Celtic needs depth throughout the pitch.
Brendan Rodgers has been outspoken in his desire to see fresh faces at the door, and he deserves to receive everything he has on his Christmas wish list.
The middle of the park is probably one section of the pitch that Celtic will be refreshing.
Pat Bonner expressed his desire to see that and his belief that another midfield player is required in addition to a number nine for the upcoming season on BBC Sportsound on June 26, 2023, at 2:35 p.m.
Paulo Bernardo, who scored in Celtic’s 3-0 victory over Dundee on Boxing Day, and David Turnbull, in the opinion of the Bhoys legend, simply don’t measure up.
Naturally, it should be mentioned that Pat Bonner made his remarks prior to Paulo Bernardo’s goal against Dundee yesterday. Bernardo is a Benfica loanee at Parkhead with a buyout option.
Since he feels so strongly about it, the 21-year-old’s one goal won’t really change his mind.
January transfer window: Celtic midfield
According to Bonner, “I think they probably need another midfielder.” “They most likely also need to remove the players.
That center midfield, in my opinion. If something were to happen to Hatate. They will need to replace him if they sell him or if he gets hurt. Due to his injury, they haven’t replaced him yet. That seems like a problem.
“In my opinion, Bernardo doesn’t fit it. David Turnbull hasn’t done enough, in my opinion, to be on the team every week. Though not enough games are being played, he still has his chances. But from that vantage point, I believe he is a different kind of player.”
