Gardos out for 7 months - Koeman has stated that CB is now a priority and we will be signing 1 or potentially 2 in the coming weeks. Hopefully VVD.

Got a feeling with Celtic not wanting to lose VVD due to their CL commitments at the moment we will get somebody else in . We don't have time to hang around we need someone now , unfortunately other clubs will know we're a bit desperate and will probably ask silly money . I reckon we will get another loan signing till January maybe if we are keen to get Van Djik and maybe also get Vlaar as well when he is fit again . Trouble is who is available out there that is any good at the money we want to pay?

Precisely, when Toby didn't sign there should have been bids being put in to find his replacement as soon as it became clear he singed for spuds not let's wait and see, we looked depleted a number of times last year when we got injuries and this year if we want to improve or equal on last year we will need a bigger squad (not relying on youth, as they are not good enough)

As per usual, Saints doing their business quietly. But since media are all over Vlaar and VVD it seems to be that these two are the most likely candidates people are expecting. I wouldn't mind Vlaar coming in, as long as he isn't first choice (useful experience as well) but I can't help not liking the prospect of VVD coming, he has been playing at a lower league level, for the best club there, and he has been found out in Europe. His decision making, positioning, concentration, marking (Traits that Fonte excels in) doesn't standout. Plus celtic want silly money for him. I hope Saints have another name lined up.

I recently moved to Scotland and work with a Celtic fan who rates vvd very very highly. Unless you watch a player week in week out you can't really judge them.

Apparently vvd told voetball international that he is urging Celtic to consider premier league offers as he thinks he is better than Scottish league football and wants to get into the national team, I think as long as we don't spend too much on him it could be a great signing

A threat from set pieces as well, have we even scored directly from a freekick since SRL left?

tbf I wouldn't mind VVD coming in but I'm just saying that we could do better. Wern't we linked to Martins Indi last january? Mussachio and Astori in the past as well?
Honestly I would love it if Reed digs up a gem in the Italian division, say what you like about their (admitedly somewhat 'Boring') style of play but you can't deny they have an abundance in defensive talent over there. Just an opinion though. The black box will do its job.
