I think we could be in for a very interesting summer window this year ahead of another big campaign.
The dust is only really settling on what’s gone on in 2017/18 but our 18/19 challenge will begin earlier than most as qualifying for the Champions League kicks off.
Whilst we wait for that, though, Brendan will surely be looking to get his new faces that he wants in mainly before then.
Certainly, with that said, we could be in for a few hectic weeks but there’s been discussion on Twitter over who we might actually be able to bring in.
Indeed, prominent Celtic account Celtic Bible had this to say about the current market:
Swansea value Jordan Ayew at £14m. Stoke rejected a bid of £25m for Joe Allen in the last transfer window. Jann-Fiete Arp has reportedly agreed terms with Bayern Munich. It’s safe to say none of them will be signing for Celtic.

The Verdict
This is a fair point so we might not get any of these three.
Saying that, I’d not expect us to sign Ayew and Allen anyway given the wages they’d be on more than anything else.
It’s not the most disappointing suggestion, then, but what can you see happening?
