Brendan Rodgers has emphasized the importance of timing when it comes to Celtic’s approach to transfer windows in the future. The team knew they needed to get past a Champions League play-off round to reach the league phase this season, but failed to replace key players in time for a crucial match against Kairat Almaty. As a result, they were knocked out of the Champions League and will now face tough opponents like AS Roma and Feyenoord in the Europa League.
Rodgers stressed the need for the club to improve the timing of their signings in order to give themselves the best chance of success in tournaments like the Champions League. While he acknowledged that the club will invest in new players, he emphasized the importance of getting the timing right to ensure that the team can be at their best when it matters most.
Despite expressing disappointment in the club’s transfer strategy, Rodgers expressed his full support for Dermot Desmond and the Celtic board. He praised their dedication to the club and emphasized the need for a business model that works seamlessly with the football model to keep the team competitive.Overall, Rodgers is optimistic about the future and hopes to see improvements in the coming months.
