During Wednesday’s AGM, a supporter raised concerns about Celtic’s transfer strategy, specifically referencing the signing of Maryan Shved during Brendan Rodgers’ first stint as manager.
This signing was controversial as Rodgers said he had little knowledge or input in the acquisition of the Ukrainian player.
Addressing these concerns, Rodgers clarified his stance on the club’s transfer policy. He emphasised that none of the players were forced upon him, suggesting that he has had a say in the players Celtic has brought in.
The manager earlier said that the squad size was too big, and the club are looking to decrease it over the coming transfer windows.
Rodgers also highlighted the importance of focusing on quality rather than quantity in player acquisitions. This response addresses the fan’s demand for assurances about bringing in regular first-team players and not just developmental prospects. [SunSport]
He said: “None of these players have been pushed into me.
“But it’s about quality not always about quantity.”
Celtic have a lot of work to do in the transfer market, especially if they want to become more competitive on the European front.
