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.

Brendan Rodgers feels Celtic has to be “braver” in their upcoming trade market transactions.

The manager signed striker Adam Idah on loan from Norwich on deadline day, with £3million Rapid Vienna winger Nicolas Kuhn recruited previously.

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 remedy it while I am still here.

“Looking at this strategy, you have 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 wish to have the guts to throw in the towel and accept a ready-made player.

“So, while I completely appreciate the support, that 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.

“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.S

It all comes down to the player’s skill level. Although it’s not what we need, we could have added guys to the roster. This team needs players at a certain level in order to advance.Nicolas Kuhn, a German winger, was the sole winter window permanent addition made by the team.

“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.
