‘An absolute fact’… Peter Martin makes Brendan Rodgers claim As Celtic’s transfers are scrutinised

Celtic’s transfer business has been and will continue to be questioned until the end of the January transfer window.

The standard of players brought in by Brendan Rodgers appears to be inadequate, as reports suggest that at least four of the summer signings are about to be loaned out.

Rodgers claimed at the recent AGM that he signs off on all new players brought in, but journalist and pundit Peter Martin has questioned that claim.

In an interview with Stephen McGowan about Celtic’s transfer model, the Daily Mail journalist suggested that Rodgers was ‘landed’ with players he hadn’t chosen. Martin confirmed that the Hoops manager didn’t choose all of the summer additions.

“You say it as a question, I’m glad you brought it up, it’s an absolute fact and anybody who puts it out there is quickly reigned in and the calls are being made,” Martin said [PLZ Soccer].

“But it’s a fact he didn’t pick them all. He wanted four players, we said it in the summer and some of us were quickly chastised for saying it.

“And then two weeks ago Brendon Rodgers came out and said, ‘I wanted four players I didn’t get them’, I mean that tells you all you need to know.”

All I can say here is that if Rodgers says he was involved in all of the signings, you should believe him.

But Rodgers must also begin to accept responsibility for these signings because, clearly, if you are looking to get rid of players only six months into their Celtic career, there has been a major failure somewhere along the Parkhead recruitment line.

What is certain is that Brendan Rodgers must get his next transfer window right because there is a very real possibility that he will lose the league title this season.
